  • Always diffuse in my office depending on the staff temperament. They are drawn to my office and happier when they leave.

  • Love these suggestions! I agree with other posters that I would also include citrus vitality oils for my water. Also, I can't be without my YL Joy Essential Oil.

  • Love this post! Thank you so much for the great ideas. I'll definitely be using these in my daily recruiting tasks here in my cubicle at Young Living-Corporate :)

  • I add Lavender, Deep Relief roll on, and Stress Away to many of the things listed in the office kit above. I teach high school science so no desk job for me. :)

  • Would be great if you sold these as kits instead of me writing them all down and hunting them out ;)

  • Cheryl, what exactly did you put on the bruise to help? I'm new and need to know all I can!!! Thanks!!

  • This list is awesome. I am starting a new job next week and have been putting together my office Servival kit. I Would love to get a USB diffuser. I am in Australia and don't know if they are here yet. This is awesome! Thank you!!!

  • I am new to YL. I love the oils that I've used so far. I take them with me to work, but my supervisor told me that I could not bring them to work. Another coworker complained that the oil scent (PanAway)was too strong. But she uses PanAway YL oil herself. That did not stop me from using the oils.
