Some days your skies are clear, blue, and beautiful—and some days your picnic plans are interrupted with an unexpected storm warning. But don’t worry! Ruined plans can be a bummer, but the sun will come out again soon. In the meantime, try one of these essential oil blends that will remind you of getting a great, big hug!
SARA: a hug for comfort
SARA™ is a sweet blend of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, and Rose. Think of SARA as a big sister, ready to wrap you up in a quilt, hand you a cup of cocoa, and comfort you with compassion. Try rubbing a drop of this blend onto your wrists when you feel like you could use a listening ear. Dilute it with a few drops of a carrier oil to keep your skin happy.
Present Time: a hug for gratitude
If you have way too many alarms set on your phone, an ever-growing to-do list, or a pile of dirty dishes that keeps doubling in size, you might want to reach for Present Time™. Diffuse this delicate scent as you take a minute to reconnect with the present and let go of the expectations you have for yourself. Once you feel calmer, consider doing those dishes before the leftovers grow legs!
Release: a hug for liberation
Ready to let go of some of the “nope” from your day? Throw on some jams, roll out your yoga mat, and diffuse Release™. After stretching out and focusing on your breathing, you might just feel like saying, “Heck yes!” instead.
Grounding: a hug from Mother Nature
Sometimes all we need is a little nature. Even if you can’t get outside, you can connect with your roots by taking a tech detox for a few hours while diffusing Grounding™. This blend of White Fir, Black Spruce, and Pine combines into a forest-inspired aroma. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent of the great outdoors as you enjoy some quiet time.
Hope: a hug for optimism
Looking for some sunshine? Try a little Hope™. While it can’t really change the weather, it might just be the bright spot on a dark day. This gentle blend can be added to a favorite lotion, diffused, or applied topically.
Peace & Calming: a hug for calm
Couldn’t we all use a little more Peace & Calming® in our lives? This gentle blend is one of our most popular essential oil blends, and for good reason! Whether you need a bear hug or are trying to settle in for a night’s hibernation, diffusing this scent adds a special something to the end of a long day.
Gathering: a hug for connection
It can be hard to gather your thoughts after a long day. Or gather your family for dinner. Or gather strength to keep up on your goals. Sound familiar? Try diffusing Gathering™ as you turn daily chaos into calmness by journaling, meditating, or writing an award-worthy to-do list.

I need all the hugs! I have tried some but not all of these. Look forward to adding to my collection.
I love Palo Santo with orange oil & Elemi
I have Valor on next months ER. I can’t wait to try it.
I’m 4 months new to EO and just learning about all the oils in my PSK. I love valor’s smell. I am not familiar with the other 2 but would love to try them.
These oils sound fantastic and while I’m new to the Young Living EO family, I’ve come to love these oils and would LOVE To try these oils, especially since I’ve had some difficult cases at work and these can easily help me refocus, especially the Valor and Sacred Mountain Blends. Thank you for sharing these great tips YL! I’m currently using Peace and Calming in addition to Stress Away for those difficult times.
Hi….There, I am new to Young Living and would love to add these wonderful oils to my collection.
Went camping this past week with family! It was full of hugs, laughter, fire side chats and more. For me this is a perfect blog. Life throws alot at us and I found myself teaching and share so many of our oils with everyone. For my family – we adore the new valor and valor 2 so much. But hope, gratitude and present time resonate with me as I read. #thereishope. I heard some of my family needing hope and courage to enjoy the time we all had together, and know there are options. I would share those oils with my family!

Scared Mountain is one of my most favorite oils. I diffuse it at night for peace and calm while I sleep. I wake refreshed and ready for the day. I use Gathering during the day to keep me focused and one with my family…. a blessing in disguise.
I’m quite new to Young Living; and I’m starting my business this month. Utilizing GamePlan and taking the Bootcamp. Scheduled my first presentation in August and already have 6 new, interested individuals. When I feel a little discouraged, I like “Joy” or “Christmas Spirit” for a pick-me-up. “Stress Relief” is almost a daily staple for me; after a long day at my current work schedule. Would love to try new ones. Looking forward to a new lifestyle with YL.

Would love to try these.
I wold love to win these, it’s been a very stressful couple of months. Some of my favorites are Joy, Lavender, and Stress Away. Ylang-ylang also has helped with keeping my emotions in check. I love Young Living 💜. Thank you for this amazing chance, good luck to everyone!
Peace & Calm, lavender or Tranquil are my go to oils to calm down.
At the PRESENT TIME at the SACRED MOUNTAIN I HOPE to RELEASE VALOR!!
WHAT A HUG THAT WOULD BE.. at this GATHERING.
Any of these oils would be amazing. Valor is my newest ❤️.
I have heard great things about Valor bu I haven’t tried it yet. So far my go to relaxer is Peace And calming or lavender. Would love to win these and expand my oil knowledge
I have been using Believe and Abundance on my YL diffuser necklace. Gives me the belief I can do this business and tell everyone about Young Living
Valor is my favorite coworker! Awhile back I was in a place in my career where I had pressure mounting. I had competed training in a new department and was now required to perform the difficult tasks to show proficiency. The job had extensive pressure as I was responsible for the care of patients under anesthesia. I was very afraid of failure and knew that my ability to respond without stress to various situations also had empact on the patients life. I have always allowed fear to block my success. However my sister gave me some Valor. I applied this every morning. I noticed fear was no longer stronger than me and I found confidence to perform without feeling paralized. Fast forward I have conquered my fears and am very successful at my new position. I now use Valor every time I will be encountering the unknown. A difficult meeting, job interviews, and much more. Thank you Valor I am no longer controlled by anxiety and fear. Cedarwood is my go to for unwinding after a draining day.
Valor is my absolute favorite. I apply before hard workouts and 9/10 I always improve over my expectations!
I LOVE Stress Away and Peppermint diffused together.
Valor is hands down my favorite oil ever! I call it ‘courage in a bottle’ and use before any public speaking event. I wear it in my diffuser necklace and have it on my diffuser bracelet. Can’t get enough of it!
Joy and Present Time are my go to for that extra comfort and reassurance.
I plan to try each and everyone of these with the goal of finding peace of mind for not just me but those in my circle. I will diffuse a different one every time someone comes to visit or when I go over to my grandmother’s house hoping I will find the one that works for everyone I love. My favorite go to are Joy and Awaken.
I just recently got back into using the oils after several years. I am excited to be on this journey and learning all over again. I love Peace and Calming and Stress Away and will get Valor as one of my new oils this month.
Harmony. I’d love to try these oils. I’ve been doing a lot of research on emotional healing and essential oils
Stress away is a favorite of mine– I keep it with me at work and feel refreshed after taking a few minute break to look away from the computer screen and inhale Stress Away while closing my eyes. The smell is very calming to me and love how it tends to stick with me for the remainder of the day!
I need as many hugs as I can get! Please pick me!
Thank you…
I would love to win these, my 25 year old daughter has suffered from depression and anxiety since the death of my husband 4 years ago, I know these oils would do wonders!
I’m fairly new to Young Living. Five months now. Enjoying everything so far. Always excited to get my order every month. Just ordered a valor today. This is a life changing thing for me, “the oils” . very excited about making this change in my life.
Valor is one of my favorites because it gives me the confidence to get through difficult situation. I also enjoy wearing Sacred Mountain,Peace and Calming, and Joy.
Stress Away is my go-to oil when I’m feeling stressed out. It really does live up to its name!
I just survived a week long trip with my elderly parents by sharing my Stress Away roller with them as we drove 14 hours one way. It made the trip so much more enjoyable!
One can always use Hope! Now THAT is a hug!
Valor has been a blesding to me and to my son, who deals with anxiety and attention issues it has also been a great “chiropractor in a bottle” for me. I love the grounding quaities of Sacred Mountain. Present Time sounds like it would be so beneficial to us.
These are all new to me oils. Will try them soon – Valor sounds like just the one I need. Currently, Lavender is my favorite and my go-to-oil most days.
Valor and Frankincense are my favorites for my face as a moisturizer. I experience not only very youthful looking skin but it has happened that my whole back has popped into place as it is absorbed throughout my body.
Lavender is one of my favorites. The stress away roll on is great for my work days. I look forward to trying all the peace and comfort blends.
I really like stress away. I use it every day
I really like the stress away.
I have many favorites, but I guess if I had to list them in order it would be:
Peace & Calming
Tranquil Roll On
Lavender
Stress Away
I have never tried Valor but am looking forward to it especially if I would be one of the 4 chosen ones.
I LOVE Valor!!!
I just received my first bottle of valor and love it. I diffuse peace and calming each night to help me sleep
I like using lavender and cedarwood
I’ve been using Valor a lot recently to get through a particularly rough assignment for work (I’m a travel nurse). I need all the hugs and help I can get. I’m thankful that I found YL to help me through the rough days!
I would love to try all of these! Can’t wait for drawing!
I love stress a way…grounding and gathering. …would love to try these other oils!
What a great idea with these oils. I know several people I would love to share these with!!
Love this post! Sacred Mountain has been on my list to try for quite a while, would love to win these!
Stress away, peace and calming and calories has been invaluable for myself and family during the wildfire evacuation in bc
Stress away, calories, peace and calming are my favourite everyday oils , would love to have the opportunity to try new ones
