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™ 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 am SOOO in love with Sacred Mountain, that one is my hug!
My fave oils for comfort are patchouli, Valor 2, and Stress Away. Haven't purchased the original Valor but have heard amazing things about it!
:D Trauma Life is my go to Essential Oil when I need an aromatic hug. <3
Sacred Mountain was one of my first favorites!!! All these sound so yummy. And Highest Potential - enough cannot be said about that blend. thank you!
I haven't tried any of the above oils, Hope and release sound like ones I would like to try. My favorite oil is Thieves, that gives me peace and confort knowing that it is ridding my home from germs and smells wonderful.
Depending on the day, I can use all of the hugs!!
Valor has been a life-changer for my husband! He recently diffused it in his car on the way to a job interview. It definitely helps with confidence and courage!
I have Release but never considered using it as mentioned here. I'll definitely try it the next time I have to discuss rules with my teenage son!
These are a few of my absolute favorite oils!!
I love stress away and cedarwood. Those are my "it's been one of those days"
oils!
