If You're Feeling...
Back to School Diffuser Blends
The back-to-school season brings a swirl of emotions - from excitement and motivation to nerves and overwhelm. Whether you're a student, parent, or educator, navigating these shifts can feel like a rollercoaster.
Thankfully, nature offers powerful support through essential oils. This guide pairs six common back-to-school emotions with carefully selected single oils, helping you stay balanced, focused, and grounded as the school year begins. Use them in the diffuser, a roller blend, or simply apply them straight from the bottle and let scent be your steady companion through the season of new beginnings.
Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time.
Grapefruit is energizing, fresh, and emotionally uplifting. It captures that “new beginnings” buzz without being overstimulating.
Use when you’re buzzing with anticipation — or need a natural boost to match that energy.
If You're Feeling... Anxious - Diffuse: Roman Chamomile
Roman Chamomile is deeply calming for the nervous system, easing tension and helping with sleep and overwhelm.
Perfect for the night before the first day or when schedules feel chaotic.
If You're Feeling... Overwhelmed - Diffuse: Frankincense
Frankincense is grounding and centering. It helps quiet the mind and promotes focus - ideal when to-do lists feel never-ending.
Think of it as a deep breath in a bottle.
If You're Feeling... Motivated - Diffuse: Rosemary
Rosemary stimulates memory, focus, and drive. It’s excellent for study sessions, early mornings, or sluggish afternoons.
Sharpens the mind and helps shake off procrastination.
If You're Feeling... Sad - Diffuse: Bergamot
Bergamot is known for its mood-lifting and emotionally balancing effects. It comforts and softens heavy feelings without sedation.
Great for both kids and parents who feel the emotional pull of transition.
If You're Feeling... Confident - Diffuse: Cedarwood
Cedarwood promotes emotional strength, self-assurance, and calm presence. It’s steady and stabilizing, perfect for interviews, tests, or new social settings.
Smells like inner strength and quiet bravery.
Whether you're looking to boost confidence, deepen your sense of love, or maintain calmness amidst the excitement, these specially selected oils provide a harmonious accompaniment to your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Embrace each moment with the perfect scent to match your emotions, ensuring your wedding day is both memorable and magical.
LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!
To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.
To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.
To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.
Happy diffusing!!
