  • I use all the above plus many others! Have to have the Thieves Hand Sanitizer on hand at work and in my purse! I have had several coworkers sign up because I have my diffuser going in my office every day! Great sales tool!

  • I love these suggestions! Mine look a little different since I don't have an office job, I take care of 6 wild, fun, amazing children outside of my home as my "day" job, but Young Living is my career.

    I just a fair amount of Peace & Calming (nap time!), and Thieves as one might imagine. Loads of citrus in my water, Peppermint too, and my favourite for at work - Deep Relief! Kids are incredibly joyful (see loud).

    Love this post.

    • I heard that Cedarwood helps with hair growth. Either do a 1:1 dilution and put a few drops where you need it or add a few drops to your shampoo.

  • I always have peppermint, valor, peace and calming, theives lozenges, orange,aroma life, cypress and lavender. I am not allowed to diff
    use them but I do share these with my coworkers when I see them having a bad day.

  • I diffuse peppermint. Peppermint and lemon in my water. Thieves in my tea. Stress away throughout the day and always have a lip balm sitting on my desk.

  • Stress Away helps my mind focus and sort out the things I need to accomplish in a balanced manner. Diffusing Motivation and Abundance together gives helps me to be more productive. Drinking Cinnamon in my water tastes so good I remember to drink more.

  • I bring Thieves for my USB Orb Diffuser. I bring Stress Away, Awaken and Joy to help me tackle the workday. Normally I have Peppermint with me also but my husband took it with him today.
