Background
Lavender and vanilla have long been cherished for their soothing and relaxing properties, both in traditional and modern wellness practices. Lavender oil has been used for centuries in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome for its calming fragrance and healing qualities. It was often incorporated into baths, perfumes, and even medical treatments to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
Similarly, vanilla carries a warm, sweet aroma that is deeply comforting and emotionally grounding. Though its use became widespread after the 16th century with the rise of global trade, vanilla was considered a sacred and luxurious substance by the Totonac and Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica. Together, these oils are widely used in aromatherapy today, valued for their natural ability to ease stress, improve sleep quality, and create a sense of calm and emotional balance.
Key Ingredients- Lavender essential oil - Lavender oil, rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, is cherished for its gentle yet powerful calming effects. Widely used to ease stress, support restful sleep, and soothe irritated skin, it blends therapeutic function with a clean, floral aroma. It is a wonderful and elegant tool for both emotional and physical balance.
- Vanilla - Vanilla offers a warm, comforting scent that evokes a sense of calm and emotional well-being. Though technically an oleoresin or absolute rather than a true essential oil, it is highly valued in aromatherapy for its ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Its antioxidant and soothing properties also make it a luxurious addition to skincare and natural fragrance blends.

This collection of diffuser blends is designed to match your mood with the perfect essential oils—so no matter how you're feeling this summer, your space can reflect it. Breathe in, slow down (or rev up!), and let these blends bring your summer story to life.
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.
For hiking, exploring, or following your curiosity.
If You're Feeling... Playful - Diffuse: Tangerine
Lighthearted and fun - like summer carnivals and carefree laughter.
If You're Feeling... Energized - Diffuse: Motivation
If You're Feeling... Bold - Diffuse: Highest Potential
If You're Feeling... Free - Diffuse: Lime

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.

Bath & Body Dupes Diffuser Blends
Recreate the inviting and beloved aromas of Bath and Body Works in your home with these thoughtfully crafted diffuser blends.
Using Young Living essential oils, each blend captures the essence of the most iconic Bath and Body Works fragrances, allowing you to enjoy these popular scents in a natural, customizable way. Here are six diffuser blends inspired by some of the most cherished Bath and Body Works scents.
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.
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!!

All Things Allergies
From sniffles and sneezes to unhappy skin, allergies of any kind can leave you feeling pretty uncomfortable. Luckily there are a lot of things you can do to help soothe and support your body when these things hit! Here is everything you need to know about all things allergies!
General FavoritesThese oils and products are our mainstays when it comes to soothing the body and creating comfort when allergies hit. Grab a few and build your support cabinet!
For the oils, you can diffuse them alone or in any combination (see below for blend ideas!), make them into a roller, or even use them as dietary supplements as desired.
This oil blend is specially formulated with a tried-and-true trio of three core oils - Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint - our go-tos when the seasons (and air quality!) change! But it gets better. Season Essentials blend is further enhanced with the properties of Goldenrod and Eucalyptus Blue essential oils so that you can embrace the changing seasons with open arms!
This calming essential oil soothes and comforts the respiratory system when the pollen starts flying, and it also helps soothe and comfort the skin when it is feeling angry and irritated! Dilute with a little coconut oil or rose ointment and apply liberally and frequently.
Lemon is a wonderful natural mucolytic, making it a great choice for respiratory support! Cleansing and purifying, this citrus oil also supports the immune system, so you get added benefits when using it for respiratory needs.
This bright, crisp oil is a literal breath of fresh air. Pair it with Lemon and Peppermint for our seasonal LLP blend when the pollen starts flying or something starts blooming and you need some TLC with LLP!
This skin-loving oil is a mainstay in our beauty routines because it is so wonderful for your skin! When things start feeling irritated, grab your Frank. Dilute with a little coconut oil or rose ointment and apply liberally and frequently. This is also a great oil to apply and diffuse for respiratory needs!
R.C. stands for "respiratory congestion." This oil is a blend containing: Spruce, Cyprus, and three types of Eucalyptus oils (E. globulus, E. radiata, and E. citriodora). This oil opens up the chest and is wonderful to diffuse with lemon as well to work up anything that is building up in the body.
This gentle, soothing blend of Eucalyptus, Palo Santo, R.C. is prediluted and perfect for little ones age two and older. As the name suggests, this blend is perfect for soothing sniffles and respiratory needs!
Meet your new all-purpose, skin-loving ointment. Rose Ointment seals moisture into skin to deeply hydrate and soothe and is formulated for sensitive skin. Use this as your base for applying oils to skin in need. It's also perfect for lips, cuticles, elbows, knees, and anywhere you have dry or irritated skin!
This zinc oxide based cream is a must-have for angry, irritated skin. Think about it… diaper rash is a painful skin condition, so we can use this zinc oxide and gentle, soothing essential oil combination to comfort skin that is sensitive, irritated, or reactive.
Surviving Spring BloomsWhen the flowers start blooming, the pollen starts flying, and many of us start sniffling! If you want to enjoy the beauty of spring without hiding indoors until the worst is behind you, we have you covered.
- Season Essentials oil blend - This incredible blend is labeled for use as a dietary supplement, for diffusing and for topical application, so you can use it however you choose! Add Season Essentials to an empty capsule or a teaspoon of honey and take it internally, make a roller to apply liberally and frequently, and diffuse it!
- Lavender, Lemon & Peppermint (LLP) - this trio is THE springtime blend! Diffuse it, roll it on your chest, neck and even just inside the nostrils to help combat the pollen. Keep it on and around you 24/7! If you need a little more, add Copaiba or Tea Tree to the mix.
- Lavender Vitality - a Lavender swipe on the inside of the cheek or a drop under your tongue a few times a day is another great springtime habit. Lavender is nature's antihistamine!
- AllerZyme capsules - this enzyme complex is ideal for individuals with dietary sensitivities, so it can also help with seasonal needs!
- Use the DIY Nasal Salts, Sinus Support Steam, Changing Seasons Oral Spray and capsules listed below! Also the Immune Boost Bath is amazing.

Embrace the playful spirit of April Fools with these unique diffuser blends. Each recipe is crafted to capture the fun and light-heartedness of this whimsical day. Enjoy the delightful aromas and engage in a little trickery!
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.
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!!

Super B is a B complex supplement that is great for maintaining healthy energy levels, supporting mood, heart health and mental clarity. Our current lifestyles often leave our adrenal system (our fight or flight response) on overdrive, and B vitamins are a great way to give them some TLC!B vitamins are essential to our health and well-being, and each B vitamin performs a unique and separate function. B vitamins are water soluble so must be replenished daily.

- Anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, a deficiency can be linked to many anxious, exhausted, dark feelings and thoughts.
- Anyone who struggles with anemia, is pregnant, or doesn't eat a strong whole food diet. While we DO NOT need folic acid which is all over our processed foods and grains, we do need folate which is what you will find in this whole-food supplement.
Create a daily stress-less protocol:
- Take 2 Super B Tablets in the morning (or one in the morning and one around noon).
- Apply the Adrenal Love (Stress Recovery) Serum over the lower back morning and evening. To a 4 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
- Organic castor oil
- 25 drops Nutmeg
