Whether you have an office job, you’re on the EO-sharing grind all day, or you’re a full-time stay-at-home parent, daytime hours are crunch time and getting there is half the battle. Let these Young Living products help make your commute an enjoyable start to the day:
Keep your environment focused and calming by diffusing Brain Power™ or Clarity™ essential oil blends en route to the office. Use the Orb™ Diffuser and maintain peace of mind knowing that you won’t have an oily mess, since it’s specially designed to be spill-proof!
If carting kids for carpool is part of your day-to-day, add KidScents® GeneYus™ to your Orb™ Diffuser for a grounding aroma that helps them focus before school starts.
When the lunch hour hits, don’t just power through a protein shake while you run errands or eat a sandwich with one hand while catching up on emails. Without the proper rest and nutrition, you’re guaranteed to end the day with a lack of energy. It’s vital that you take time for your body and mind, so refuel with some of these favorites:
NingXia Red® singles are easy to pack in your lunch or in your purse—making it easy to get a boost of pure essential oils and superfruits in the middle of your day. Sit back and enjoy your lunch and the wellness support that comes from NingXia Red!
Adding a Wolfberry Crisp Bar to your lunch adds wholesome grains, fruits, and nuts to your lunchtime plans. Whole grains such as einkorn flour, quinoa, and flax seed—along with whey protein, pea protein crisp, and almonds—will help keep you full. Even if you’re a lunch-rusher, taking 15 minutes to do a few breathing exercises and eating a wholesome snack like a Wolfberry Crisp Bar can make a huge difference.
Take time to hydrate! Throughout the day make sure you’re getting enough of our favorite beverage: good old-fashioned H2O! Keep it from getting boring by adding a couple drops of your favorite Vitality™ oils. Citrus and mint essential oils are particularly invigorating and energizing!
There are only a few ways to cope with the 3 p.m. wall—and curling up under your desk for a nap can only work for so long until you’re caught. We recommend adding these mood-enhancer activities to your day to stand in for your siesta.
Get a boost of cognitive fitness from NingXia Nitro®. The infusion of essential oils, Korean ginseng, and green tea extract give you an extra spring in your step to help you make it through the afternoon.
When you really start to feel stuck and stagnant at the end of the day, grab a bottle of En-R-Gee™ essential oil blend and do a quick five-minute massage into your temples and the back of your neck. The aromatic lift you’ll get from this blend will carry you through until bedtime.
You’ve made it through the long day! Whether you’re ready to unwind for the night once the kids are in bed or take your self-care out on the town, you know you have earned a night of rest and relaxation.
Add a little Joy™ to your date night! This bright and floral blend of Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Palmarosa, and Rose essential oils—among others—provides the perfect aromatic backdrop for a night of romance, even after a long day.
Soak in the satisfaction of another great day on the books. Light some candles, fill your tub, and drink in the day’s successes. Infuse the water with your favorite essential oils or oil blends such as Lavender, Stress Away™, or Peace & Calming® to take these relaxation techniques to the next level.
Set a standard for self-care by creating a nighttime routine that’s relaxing and refining. A nightly facial using oils that your skin loves will send you to bed glowing inside and out.
Take a deep breath and calm your mind. Engaging in breathing exercises and mindful meditation as you wind down for the evening can help you prepare for a peaceful night’s sleep. With Young Living’s Breathe Again™ Roll-On incorporated into your consciousness practice, you’ll have the perfect companion for clearing your mind.
Supercharging your day with essential oils and essential oil-infused products makes a big difference when making up for a lack of energy, but the easiest way to make sure your day starts and ends strong is to have a healthy, balanced breakfast. When you try a few delicious, EO-infused recipes such as Mint Chocolate Protein Shakes and Gluten-Free Yogurt Waffles with Lemon-Lavender Blueberry Syrup, you will jump out of bed in the morning!

I like putting on stress away in the morning. I also have a roll on bottle blend of lavender, lemon, and peppermint with a carrier oil.
Ningxia Red and Frankincense.
Awaken EO , citrus fresh EO, and joy EO.
Every morning I like to start with Eucalyptus Globulus and Peppermint over my sinus area. I like how refreshing it is and how it supports my respiratory system. Great blog, thanks for sharing all of these amazing tips!
OMG thanks for all these tips! I agree with NingXia Red and love me some Citrus Fresh in it in the morning. A huge fan of Stress Away and Lavender at the end of the day in a bath or when needed throughout the day. Brain power to support concentration so we diffuse for our college kids. En-r-Gee and peppermint always. I'm am going to try peppermint in shower on a wash cloth, thank you. I just bought my first wolf berry crisp bar at convention yum! Great ideas!
Thank you for the great tips! Can we please go back to black font? The grey is so hard to read.
Yes please! And the light green product names are very difficult to read. I don't want to miss anything!
Awaken has been great to use while getting my kids get ready for school. I like Oola Balance.
I loved this post. On the bath time bliss - for a safe alternative to candles, you can use a diffuser. The Desert Mist Diffuser offers a romantic candle flicker and a choice of 11 color options with up to 10 hours of diffusion - even my sister can't stay in the bath that long!
I love Citrus Fresh and Peppermint, it automatically wakes up my senses after a nights sleep.
Ningxia Red for sure makes my day everyday! 2oz shot every morning with my vitamins and if needed 2oz shot during mid day to help pick me up. I can't imagine how I ever lived without Morning Start Shower Gel the perfect morning smell.
