Bath and Body Dupes Diffuser Blends - May 2025

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

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 Favorites

These 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 Blooms

When 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.
Easy Allergy DIYs

Soothing Oatmeal Bath
Adding oatmeal to the bath is helpful for more acute skin needs, especially for children. Think conventional oat baths but without the fragrance!

  • 2lb melt and pour soap base
  • ½ cup powdered goat milk
  • 2 Tbsp organic raw honey

  • Bowl of very hot, steaming water
  • 2-3 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

Orange Essential Oil

Known as liquid sunshine, Orange essential oil has a sweet and uplifting aroma that brightens any room and cleanses the air when diffused. This happy citrus oil pairs well with just about anything and is a wonderful addition to roller blends and DIYs.

The happiest of all the oils, Orange is a wonderful addition to ANY diffuser blend. Pair it with spice oils like Cinnamon Bark and Nutmeg, with Idaho Grand Fir and Lavender for sleep, or with Thieves for a great everyday blend. Orange is an incredibly uplifting oil that also inspires creativity!

Applied topically, Orange essential oil may reduce the appearance of blemishes, making it a key player in your skincare routine.

Mix up your daily NingXia Red. Add 1-2 drops of Orange Vitality essential oil directly to your NingXia or make a spritzer with sparkling water:
  • 2-4 oz NingXia Red
  • Orange, Citrus Fresh, and/or Lemon Vitality (or any Vitality oil) 
  • and lots of ice.
Add a drop or two of Orange Vitality to your favorite herbal tea for a fresh twist.

Add some zest to your salads and marinades by adding a few drops of Orange Vitality to the mix. Try this simple Dijon Vinaigrette with Lemon, Orange, or even Citrus Fresh Vitality:
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp organic dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vingar
  • 2-3 drops Orange, Lemon, or Citrus Fresh Vitality
  • 1-2 tbsp honey or another sweetener to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
    Mix all ingredients well with a whisk and use as desired. Shake gently before use.
Soak up the last bit of summer with this Orange-infused Yogurt Dip for your organic berries. (Recipe adapted from Lauren Dunamway):
  • 6 oz blackberries
  • 6 oz raspberries
  • 2 pints blueberres
  • 2 lb strawberries
  • 6 oz vanilla yogurt (or plain)
  • 6 drops Orange Vitality
    Mix yogurt and Orange Vitality and use as a dip for the fruit or mix the fruit in the yogurt and refrigerate for an hour to chill, then enjoy.
Add a drop of Orange Vitality directly to your Thieves toothpaste for an extra bust. Orange and Orange Vitality essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making it alkaline and not acidic. You can also add Orange Vitality to your Thieves mouthwash.

Orange Vitality is the exact same oil as Orange essential oil, simply labeled differently so it can be ingested. That means you can use Orange Vitality the same way you would Orange essential oil - in the diffuser and in all your favorite roller blends as well.

Super Vitamin B

 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.

WHO SHOULD USE SUPER B?
  • Anyone under stress, as it depletes B vitamins in our bodies
  • Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.
  • Anyone who needs energy. It nourishes our adrenals and combats fatigue.
  • 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 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • Roll EndoFlex over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals) morning and evening. Simply add a roller top to the bottle!
  • Drink 2-4oz of NingXia Red daily. Make it fun! Mix it up with some kombucha, coconut water and/or sparkling water.
  • Consider adding Progessence Plus Serum to your routine.

90s Heartthrobs Diffuser Blends - March 2025

90s Heartthrobs Diffuser Blends

Transport yourself back to the 90's with these fun and nostalgic diffuser blends inspired by iconic 90's heartthrobs.

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!!

Hope is a specially formulated blend designed to inspire optimism and restore faith during challenging times. Its uplifting aroma encourages a sense of possibility, helping you stay focused on brighter days ahead. Diffusing Hope fills your space with a comforting sense of renewal and courage.


If You're Feeling... Overlooked - Diffuse: White Angelica

White Angelica is a protective blend that creates an empowering shield against negativity, promoting feelings of security and self-worth. Its calming and uplifting aroma is perfect for those feeling unappreciated, offering reassurance and emotional grounding. Diffusing White Angelica helps you reconnect with your inner strength and value.


If You're Feeling... Enchanted - Diffuse: Jasmine

Jasmine’s exotic, floral scent is renowned for its romantic and captivating qualities. It evokes a sense of wonder and charm, making it ideal for moments of enchantment. Diffusing Jasmine creates an atmosphere of magic and allure, perfect for igniting creativity and passion.

These oils are powerful tools to support and uplift your emotional well-being, each offering a unique aromatic experience tailored to specific feelings.

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!!

Home for the Holidays Diffuser Blends - Nov 2024

Home for the Holidays
Diffuser Blends

It's the time of year when we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends will help set the stage to do just that.

Rich in warm, spicy oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove, these blends will also help show some love to our immune, adrenal, and respiratory systems (all of which need some TLC this time of year!). The woodsy oils in these blends help calm our minds and bodies and create the coziest holiday home. So fill up your diffuser, and keep it running all season long!

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!!

Add in a little extra spruce (Idaho Blue Spruce!) for some sweetness, the brightness of Grapefruit, and the spice of Clove for the perfect blend. Clove also helps support the immune system and is a powerful antioxidant!


Thankful Heart

  • 4 drops Frankincense
  • 3 drops Joy
  • 3 drops Tangerine
  • 2 drops Bergamot
We believe that a thankful heart is something to cultivate year round! Joy, Tangerine and Frankincense are powerful emotional tools that can help us recenter and focus our minds and hearts on the beauty of life before us.

Joy is uplifting to the emotions, helping us move from feelings of sadness or shut down towards feelings of joy. Frankincense is incredibly grounding and centering to the mind, while Tangerine is uplifting and stimulates creativity, and Bergamot is wonderful for releasing anxieties. Diffuse this blend throughout this season as a cue for your inner self to stop and look around at the beauty surrounding you.

Winter Nap

  • 4 drops Lavender
  • 3 drops Northern Light Black Spruce
  • 2 drops Vetiver
  • 2 drops Orange
Imagine an overcast day in late fall, a warm fire crackling away while you are snuggled in a blanket on the couch… the perfect setting for a winter nap! That is the essence of this diffuser blend. Warm, inviting and soothing.

Lavender and Vetiver help our minds to stop racing and promote feelings of calm. Northern Lights Black Spruce is grounding and soothing to the body and mind, and Orange is uplifting to our emotions. It is a wonderfully soothing blend that smells amazing – this combination will also rival any scented candle! 

Holiday Hygge

  • 4 drops Pine
  • 3 drops Orange
  • 3 drops Cinnamon Bark
  • 2 drops Bergamot
This blend is perfect whenever you need a cozy blend to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere! Pine is grounding and calming and also supports the immune system. Orange and Bergamot are uplifting and stimulate creativity. Cinnamon bark evokes the feelings of the season and has its own health benefits, making this blend great for your health while also rivaling the most popular scented candles!

Comfort & Joy

  • 4 drops Christmas Spirit
  • 3 drops Frankincense
  • 3 drops Bergamot
  • 2 drops Lavender
The holidays are a time for gathering with loved ones, but let's be honest - sometimes that can be an emotional experience. Whether it's stress, family dynamics, or just the hustle and bustle of going here and there, this blend feels like a warm hug in the middle of the chaos.

Christmas Spirit brings the cozy, festive feeling we all want, while Frankincense adds a grounding element so you can feel calm and centered. Lavender softens the edges of tension, and a bit of Bergamot brings a bright, uplifting twist to help ease anxious feelings.

Diffuse this blend when gathering with family, or whenever you need a little extra emotional boost! It's like wrapping yourself in comfort while still embracing the joy of the season. Perfect for keeping the holiday spirit alive—even during those more difficult moments.

As Always, I'm here to support you.

DiGize Vitality Essential Blend

DiGize is another oil to always have on hand. It is our go-to for digestive support anytime we need it - both daily and acutely. Make sure to grab this one before you head out to all your summer gatherings!

Add DiGize to V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier and massage it over the abdomen to soothe digestive needs.

Make a ‘Tummy' roller to apply over the stomach as needed for digestive support. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 15 drops DiGize
  • 10 drops each Lemon & Peppermint (optional)
  • Carrier of choice
Apply DiGize diluted or in a roller over the stomach and liver to support release of toxic emotions. This works best when paired with strong affirmations and/or prayer.
 
When traveling, inhale DiGize directly from the bottle for soothing comfort. Or pair it with Peppermint in a travel diffuser.

DiGize Vitality is the exact same oil as DiGize essential oil blend, simply labeled differently so it can be ingested. That means you can use the DiGize Vitality the same way you would DiGize essential oil blend - in the diffuser and in all your favorite roller blends as well.

Support your health from the inside out with daily DiGize capsules. Add 1-2 drops DiGize Vitality to a vegetarian capsule and top off with a carrier oil (olive oil or V6).

Add a drop or two of DiGize Vitality to your favorite herbal tea for a digestive support twist.

Whenever you need some extra digestive health, add a drop of DiGize Vitality and a drop of Lemon Vitality (optional) to a large glass of water or to a vegetarian capsule for relief.

See the DiGize Spotlight for TONS of ways to use this oil!

Abundance Essential Oil Blend

This rich and spicy oil is designed to help us release fears associated with a poverty mindset. Even when we don't realize it, we have skills, abilities, tools, opportunities, contacts, teachers, and wisdom right at our fingertips. Abundance oil blend (and intentional practices!) can help us to realize this fact and step into those things in front of us! 

Daily Habits with Abundance

Diffuse as you work, read, and contact others.

Dab onto letters, packages, and envelopes you are sending out to business contacts.

Apply to your wrists and over your heart as you pray over your team, your time, and your future in this business.

Put on the edges of your calendar and planner so that every time you are thinking of your time commitments, you are shifting to a viewpoint of abundance and choice.

Drop on a diffuser bracelet in your purse or wallet and stop thinking of money as something in short supply. Money will ALWAYS be there and there will be ways to attain it. TIME? That's the one you guard. Use your time to find ways to pursue freedom and residual income where your money works FOR YOU.
