Starbs Run Diffuser Blends - Sept 2025

Starbs Run Diffuser Blends

There’s nothing quite like that first whiff of your favorite coffee shop drink - the sweet, the spicy, the warm, the fresh. Now you can bring those comforting café vibes into your home with these diffuser blends, each inspired by a beloved hot beverage.

Whether you’re craving the zesty lift of Honey Mint Citrus, the spicy hug of Cozy Chai, or the decadent sweetness of Peppermint Hot Chocolate, these blends will fill your space with the same inviting aromas you love from your go-to coffee shop.

So grab your oils, press “brew” on your diffuser, and let’s run to the coffee shop - no drive-thru required.

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!!

It just makes scents!

 Cozy Chai Ingredients
  • Clove essential oil - The highest valued antioxidant known, clove is rich in eugenol and prized for its powerful analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Traditionally used to soothe toothaches and oral discomfort, it remains a go-to for immune support and relieving muscular tension.
  • Cinnamon bark essential oil - High in cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, cinnamon is revered for its warming, invigorating aroma and potent antimicrobial and circulatory-stimulating properties. Long cherished in traditional medicine, it supports immune health, eases digestive discomfort, and adds a comforting depth to aromatherapy blends.
  • Cardamom essential oil - Abundant in 1,8-cineole and terpinyl acetate, Cardamom is known for its gentle, uplifting scent and its ability to ease respiratory congestion and digestive upset. With its sweet, spicy notes and calming effect on the nervous system, cardamom is a favorite in blends that promote clarity and emotional 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.
 Orange Creamsicle Ingredients
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Bergamot - The crisp, citrusy aroma of Bergamot is uplifting and harmonizing, making it a popular choice for diffusing. Bergamot has a crisp, woodsy, citrus aroma that is so uplifting to our moods. In fact, it has been studied for its properties to lower cortisol (stress hormone) and to lower the body's sympathetic nervous response (fight/flight/freeze), making this a wonderful oil for emotional support!
  • Vanilla - Vanilla is such a warm, inviting and happy oil. It has a luxuriously rich, slightly sweet scent that enhances the experience of virtually every other essential oil, both when used topically or aromatically! Vanilla lifts the spirits and helps with stress relief and calming the mind. It also has powerful antioxidant properties that support the immune system and body's natural response to stress and inflammation.
  • When used together these ingredients are a powerful emotional tool, especially during a season where we may be busier or have more on our plates than normal!
 Pink Champagne Ingredients
  • Grapefruit - This bright, crisp citrus oil is wonderful for emotional support, uplifting the spirits, and adding a little zest to this blend. It is also wonderful for immune support since it is high in limonene.
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Lavender - Lavender is synonymous with calming and relaxing, and it adds an herbaceous aroma to this slightly sweet mix! Lavender pairs well with both citrus and Ylang ylang, and it soothes the mind and body alike.
  • Ylang ylang - Ylang Ylang has a sweet, romantic aroma that makes a lovely addition to perfume rollers and diffuser blends. This floral, balancing oil promotes openness and connection, encourages confidence, and inspires romance. Ylang ylang also has wonderful moisturizing properties and is well known for reducing stress.
  • Camphor - This oil is wonderful for opening the airways, and it lends a slightly earthy, crisp aroma to this delicious blend.
  • Cistus - Cistus is a crisp, slightly spicy oil that adds a bit of bubble to this blend. It is a wonderful immune support tool! It is cleansing and purifying.
 Seaside Ingredients
  • Neroli - Neroli has a fresh, uplifting floral aroma that is often used in luxury perfumes and skin care products. Steam distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, this oil smells like heaven and is a popular choice for perfume! Applied topically, it also promotes the appearance of youthful, radiant skin and helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes.
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Lime - Lime essential oil has a fresh, crisp aroma that uplifts the senses and brightens any space. This versatile citrus oil is a favorite for everything from cleaning to cooking to immune and emotional support! This zesty citrus oil uplifts the senses and supports feelings of clarity and positivity and also has high levels of antioxidants and limonene, which supports the immune system!
  • Cypress - Cypress is one of our favorite conifer oils - deep, woodsy and full of incredible health benefits. Cypress is calming and grounding and wonderful for releasing stored emotions. It helps ease feelings of loss and creates a sense of security. This oil also supports healthy circulation and heart health and is a popular choice for improving lymphatic flow.
  • Sage - Traditionally used in clearing rituals, Sage essential oil has a bold, herbaceous aroma that can be used aromatically for this same purpose. This herbaceous oil is calming and soothing to the mind and emotions, and pairs well with citrus oils to round out the overall aroma.
 Fresh Start Diffuser
This beautiful diffuser is streamlined and elegant and will be the perfect companion to any space! Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! Not only does it make your entire space feel like a spa, you get all the benefits of inhaling the pure essential oils you are diffusing – immune support, respiratory soothing, calming and relaxing, focus and attention – win win!

Mineral Sunscreen Spotlight - May 2025

Mineral Sunscreen Spotlight

Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen is a must-have in our wellness routine! We get all natural, broad spectrum sun protection that dermatologist-recommended, and the planet gets safe sunscreen that won't damage reefs and ocean life.

If that's not a win, we don't know what is!! Added bonus – this summer staple is lightweight enough to wear under makeup for daily protection if you desire!

Mineral Sunscreen at a Glance

  • Non-nano zinc oxide provides safe and powerful SPF 50 sun protection for the whole family
  • Clean ingredients and zero skin-damaging chemicals
  • Dermatologist tested and cruelty freeNon-greasy, fast-absorbing formula without white residue
  • Formulated for all skin types
  • Formulated without avobenzone, oxybenzone, retinyl palmitate, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, UV chemical absorbers, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances
  • Reef-safe formula will not damage natural coral reefs and wildlife
Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is your summer sunshine BFF. This formula offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, is reef safe, great for children and all skin types, and goes a long way! Made with non-nano zinc oxide, this sunscreen gives you peace of mind that you are choosing the safest sun protection for yourself, your family, and the planet.

Key Ingredients

We love that this product is a base of non-nano zinc oxide, but it is also filled with skin-loving essential oils like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense that put a protective barrier on your skin and help retain the skin's natural moisture while out in the sun.

  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide - provides broad-spectrum sun protection to prevent burns (even on photo-sensitive skin); aids skin healing and recovery after injury
  • Helichrysum - a powerful regenerative oil that soothes, moisturizes and helps heal the skin
  • Myrrh - an ultimate skincare oil; soothes and moisturizes the skin and help promote natural healing
  • Carrot Seed - provides skin moisturizing, protection, and cleansing properties
  • Sacred Frankincense - the variety of Frankincense given to Jesus at his birth; a wonderful oil for skin soothing and healing and protection
Why Ditch Conventional Sunscreen

Did you know that up to 75 percent of sunscreens are toxic, hiding many irritating chemicals? All those products whose active ingredients are avobenzone or oxybenzone (or something similar!) may be preventing some sun damage, but they are doing other damage at the same time. They can cause allergies, skin sensitivities, disrupt your hormones, and cause airway irritation.

Plus, most commercial products work by blocking either UVA or UVB rays but not both types. This means that chemical sunscreen manufacturers need to combine several different formulas/solutions into one product to prevent sunburns. The more chemicals that are added to the formula, the higher the chances are for negative reactions, allergies, and hormone damage. And for individuals with more sensitive skin, these sunscreens won't always prevent skin cancer and often cause reactions like hives, swelling and acne.

Let's talk about reefs super quickly. An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all the chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning these chemical ingredients that harm coral reefs!

Just say no, friend. Grab some Mineral Sunscreen. Your skin, your health, the planet, and likely your dermatologist will thank you!

How to Use Mineral Sunscreen

  • Apply liberally to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.
  • Reapply immediately after towel drying or at least every 2 hours.
Mineral Sunscreen Hacks

If you need an easy way to apply your mineral sunscreen (hello kiddos!), we highly recommend this simple sunscreen applicator. Simply pour your Mineral Sunscreen into it and apply. Or try one of these simple DIY hacks!

DIY Sunscreen Spray
  • An entire tube of YL Mineral Sunscreen
  • 1/2 bottle of ClaraDerm Spray
  • Continuous spray bottle
    Mix the two ingredients well in the spray bottle, then pop the top back on. Easy to use and so good on the skin!
DIY Sunscreen Spray II
Make sure to test for small amounts of time if you have fair skin or are concerned about diluting the sunscreen.
  • 1 tube YL Mineral Sunscreen
  • 8 oz fractionated coconut oil
  • 20 drops Lavender
  • 30 drops Carrot Seed
  • Continuous spray bottle
    Add all ingredients to the bottle, and shake to combine!

Give Yourself a Brain Boost

Did you know that essential oils can literally enhance your environment? Current research in development psychology and education shows us the magic of an "enhanced environment." For children this looks like toys, sports, music, and learning opportunities in addition to their physical environment. These things result in improved cognitive and language development, social and emotional skills, creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills.

BUT what about us adults?? Adults can also improve these things with an enhanced environment. Dr. Cynthia Woo recently did a study at UC Irvine that diffusing essential oils before bed showed improvement in cognitive test scores, positive changes in brain anatomy, improved cognitive resilience and youthfulness.

The short version? Diffusing oils before bed can improve your brain function!!! (See why you need to diffuse)

Whether you want the ease of app control or the simplicity of manual, standalone use, this diffuser is designed to cater to your unique preferences, ensuring a delightful ambiance for morning, mid-day and evening.

AromaConnect App

Making a shift to low-tox living is literally as simple as switch, schedule, and smell! You don't have to worry about fire hazards from candles, synthetic scents and fragrances, hazardous air pollutants, or burning through oils too quickly. All you need is a diffuser, your oils, and the AromaConnect app (if desired!). (See why you need to say no to artificial fragrances.)

The AromaConnect app allows you to diffuse when and where you want with a simple swipe! Set up routines for devices, rooms, and homes from anywhere – custom light modes, run times, and even sounds. Program device specific settings for a.m. and p.m. so you can choose exactly what, when, and where you diffuse.

Simply download the AromaConnect app to use! Visit either the App Store (Apple devices) or Google Play (Android devices), depending on your device and operating system. Tap the magnifying glass Search icon and type in “AromaConnect.” In the search results, find the app supported by Young Living. In the App Store, click the Get button. In Google Play, click the Install button.

BUT, if you don't want to use the app, you don't have to! The Wake-Up-Light Diffuser will work manually as well!

Directions for Use

  • Transform your bedside table into a sanctuary for mindful moments with the AromaConnect Wake-Up Light Diffuser.
  • Start your day feeling refreshed as you wake up to a gradual sunrise accompanied by a bright essential oil blend and the soothing sounds of nature found on our Young Living farms.
  • Ease effortlessly into a peaceful night's rest as you bask in a gradual sunset, enveloped by a tranquil p.m. essential oil blend and gentle, soothing sleep sounds.
When it comes to choosing oils for your diffuser, it is not recommended to diffuse the DeepSpectra oils, as they are intended for topical application and ingestion to receive the full benefits of these patents-pending extracts. Diffusing oils containing coconut or other carrier oils with the Wake-Up-Light Diffuser risks clogging your diffuser. Thicker, more viscous oils like Myrrh, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and some past formulas of Simplified by Jacob + Kait essential oils may also lead to clogging and be harder to smell because they diffuse more slowly. For best results, use low-viscosity oils such as Lavender and Orange essential oils or Young Living Stress Away blend.

Super Magnesium Spotlight - Convention 2024

Super Magnesium Spotlight

image
Did you know that magnesium is a core building block for your health? It is involved in over 300 processes within the body! And almost all of us aren't getting enough of it. BUT a good quality, sustainably sourced magnesium supplement that is easily absorbed by the body is almost impossible to find… but we have it! 

Say hello to Super Magnesium! Super Magnesium gets the job done with better distribution, higher available levels of magnesium, and fewer capsules.

Super Magnesium at a Glance

  • Supports a restful night's sleep and a calm nervous system
  • Promotes healthy organ function
  • Reduces oxidative stress on the body as a whole
  • Contains melon juice concentrate to increase magnesium efficiency in the body (sends the magnesium where it needs to go!) and reduce oxidative stress and fatigue
  • Decreases physical fatigue while supporting an active lifestyle and normal energy levels
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Vegan and vegetarian formula is gluten, tree nut, sesame, corn and soy-free
This mighty supplement is sustainably sourced from seawater with a variety of trace minerals and formulated with melon juice concentrate, which reduces oxidative stress and increases magnesium efficiency in the body. Super Magnesium combines the power of bioavailable (read: easily absorbable) magnesium from the Irish Sea with the power of melon juice concentrate and Bergamot essential oil to maintain healthy magnesium levels in the body all day long. In short, this supplement helps your body win! 

Background

Just as sleep is a core foundation for your health, magnesium is a core supplement your body needs to stay healthy! Did you know that magnesium naturally helps your body produce the sleep hormone melatonin? The two Ms go hand in hand!

Sleep is a critical part of our health. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory. Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, anyone??). It's the glymphatic system, and guess when it is the most active and doing the most work to?? While you sleep!

In fact, many things affect this system – sleep position, alcohol intake, exercise, omega-3 consumption, intermittent fasting and chronic stress all affect the lymphatic system's clearance of waste and toxins.

So it just makes sense to add Super Magnesium to your daily supplement line-up!

Key Ingredients

  • Melon Juice Concentrate - protects magnesium levels within the body and distributes magnesium to areas of higher metabolic need; increases magnesium efficiency within the body; reduces oxidative stress and fatigue; sustainably sourced from fruit fields in France
  • Magnesium (hydroxide & citrate) - helps calm the nervous system and promotes restful sleep; involved in over 300 bodily processes; essential to energy, vitality, and overall health and wellness
  • Bergamot essential oil - uplifts the emotions and senses and helps ease anxious feelings; helps lower cortisol levels and soothes the nervous system's fight/flight/freeze response; contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle; helps support the cardiovascular system
Magnesium Salts

While there are many forms of magnesium out there (often called magnesium salts), Super Magnesium intentionally features magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate for several reasons. Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate are considered highly bioavailable -- they are easily absorbed and utilized within the body. Combining these magnesium salts with melon juice concentrate increases the efficiency of these two types of magnesium and their ability to target areas of the body where they're needed most!

The type of magnesium ingested is actually not as critical as many would have you believe. When you ingest magnesium in any form, it ends up in the stomach first. The stomach  is a very acidic environment and the magnesium salt breaks down into  magnesium ions. These ions are  is what is absorbed.

Young Living's goal in choosing a magnesium salt was to find the cleanest, most natural source possible with no contaminants. That led them to magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate sourced from natural sea water.

Most research studies show magnesium's impact requires a dose of around 300 mg. The magnesium sources chosen for this supplement allow for a full 300 mg dose of magnesium in three small “0” size capsules. This is definitely a difference between Super Magnesium and many other options! 

WHY do these types of magnesium fit into smaller capsules? Let's look at magnesium glycinate. A mere 8% of magnesium glycinate is actual magnesium. We'd need three times as much of that kind of magnesium to achieve the same benefit—you'd have to take nine capsules of it!

Also, the magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate used in Super Magnesium are sourced from the clean waters of the Irish Sea. This provides a sustainable source of magnesium and minimizes the carbon footprint of production.

How to Use Super Magnesium

  • From a.m. to p.m., Super Magnesium supplement supports healthy energy levels, a calm nervous system, and a restful night's sleep as you begin to wind down. If you are on the lookout for one supplement that does it all, make it Super Magnesium!
  • Take 1 capsule 3 times daily; can be taken with or without food. Safe for ages 14 and above.
  • Looking for a dynamic duo? Pair Deep Night Essence with daily Super Magnesium!
Simplify Your Sleep Routine

Looking for better rest with minimal prep? Three products, amazing sleep.

The 5 Minute Sleep Routine
  • Take Super Magnesium three times a day
  • Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. 
  • Diffuse your favorite sleep-inducing oil (we recommend Peace & Calming, Cedarwood or Mastrante!). 
  • Then say hello to the deep zzzz's you need!
30 Minutes to Better Rest Routine
  • Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. If possible, turn off all screens at this time! (1 minute)
  • Stretch and/or meditate and take Super Magnesium capsules to help calm the nervous system. (6 minutes)
  • Lower your body temperature to prepare for rest. (We sleep better when our bodies are cool!) Take a warm bath to boost blood flow to the skin and increase heat loss (bonus for using calming oils like Lavender, Frankincense, or Peace & Calming or the Stress Away Bath Bombs). (20 minutes)
  • Fire up your diffuser with calming scents. (3 minutes)
  • Drop into bed and rest well, then wake up ready to tackle the day!
And when you're ready to dive into more healthy sleep habits, grab some NingXia Red to add to your supplement routine (a delicious supplement clinically proven to give you better rest, more energy, and better mental clarity!) and an Aroma Connect Wake Up Light Diffuser!

This non-drowsy, melatonin-free sleep supplement can help you get the sleep you need!

Deep Night Essence at a Glance

  • Designed for daily, long-term use
  • Helps ease stress and promote relaxation without causing drowsiness
  • Contains a blend of spearmint and green tea extracts, which support concentration, cognitive function, and visual recall
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Formula is vegetarian and vegan-friendly and free from corn, soy, tree nuts, and sesame
Background

Sleep is a critical part of our health, both for everyday wellness and when acute needs arise. Getting enough sleep helps reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improves everything from mental health to memory. Research suggests that quality sleep is vital for clearing toxins, regulating mood, and maintaining your immune system. Sleep is an incredibly important and often overlooked part of our health routine!

As more research has been done on sleep, we have learned that our bodies have a pseudo-lymphatic system that is designed specifically to clear waste and toxins from the brain while also replenishing essential neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, anyone??). It's the glymphatic system, and guess when it is the most active and doing the most work to?? While you sleep!

In fact, many things affect this system – sleep position, alcohol intake, exercise, omega-3 consumption, intermittent fasting and chronic stress all affect the lymphatic system's clearance of waste and toxins.

Deep Night Essence helps us to support this innate system's work and natural sleep cycles, so you can wake up ready to tackle the day!

Key Ingredients

  • Spearmint and green tea extracts - clinically proven to promote more restful sleep (twice the restful sleep versus without it); improves concentration, normal cognitive function, visual recall, and processing (aka brain power!) by five times – up to 60%!
  • Holy basil extract - known for calming properties; supports the body's response to stress and supports the immune system
  • Lemon balm extract (also known as Melissa) - supports the body's natural response to stress and the immune system
  • Lavender essential oil - supports sleep quality during restlessness; calming and relaxing to the mind and body
  • Spearmint essential oil - supports overall wellness
Why Melotnin-Free

Melatonin is typically the first thing we reach for when we need some help with sleep, and while it is a wonderful option, it is not intended for long term use. 

Melatonin is naturally produced in our body and is a vital part of our circadian rhythm. It's released to signal to the body that it's time to go to sleep, but it also impacts so much more – body temperature, blood sugar, and blood vessel tone (how constricted or relaxed the blood vessels are at any time). It is actually a really important hormone for our health!

BUT...

We want our bodies to continue making their own melatonin. And when we continue with melatonin long-term, our bodies will begin to make less of it – which is not what we want! So while a good short-term support tool, melatonin isn't intended for long-term use. Which is why Deep Night Essence uses a clean herbal formula for a complex job!

How to Use Deep Night Essence

Deep Night Essence offers a nature-based, long-term solution to support healthy sleep habits over time. Unlike short-term sleep aids, it won't cause any drowsy side effects the next day!

30 Minutes to Better Sleep Routine

  • Promote more restful sleep - Take 2 Deep Night Essence capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. If possible, turn off all screens at this time! (1 minute)
  • Unwind from daily stressors - Stretch and/or meditate and take Super Magnesium capsules to help calm the nervous system. (6 minutes)
  • Lower your body temperature to prepare for rest - (We sleep better when our bodies are cool!) Take a warm bath to boost blood flow to the skin and increase heat loss (bonus for using calming oils like Lavender, Frankincense, or Peace & Calming or the Stress Away Bath Bombs). (20 minutes)
  • Create a slumber sanctuary - Fill up your diffuser with calming scents and start diffusing. (3 minutes)
  • Drop into bed and rest well, then wake up ready to tackle the day!
And when you're ready to dive into more healthy sleep habits, grab some NingXia Red to add to your supplement routine (a delicious supplement clinically proven to give you better rest, more energy, and better mental clarity!) and an Aroma Connect Wake Up Light Diffuser! This diffuser is our favorite for creating healthy sleep routines. You can choose two oils to diffuse, combine the wonderful effects of aromatherapy, light, sound, and an alarm. Create your own diffusing routine – one oil for the morning (imagine waking up to the uplifting scent of Peppermint) and one for the evening (wind down with relaxing Lavender) OR a combo to use together. There is truly no better way to give your health the gift of sleep!

Need to take a smaller step and make a simple, easy switch to improve your sleep routine? Try this…

All Things Diffusing - June 2024

All Things Diffusing

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. This is hands down one of the easiest health habits you can start! And we have you covered right here with everything you need to know.

Diffusing at a Glance

  • Makes your space smell amazing
  • An easy habit for anyone to start at any time
  • A great alternative to scented candles and wall plugs (which are full of toxins!)
  • Benefits many needs - mood, respiration, focus, immunity, cleansing, sleep and more
  • Supports overall health and a low-tox lifestyle
There are three major ways to use essential oils - topically (on the skin), ingesting, and aromatically (diffusing, inhaling from the bottle). We often choose the method of diffusing (or inhaling) over topical or ingesting because it is extremely effective for:
  • Emotions
  • Mental Support
  • Respiratory Support
  • Rest & Relaxation
Cliff notes version: Breathing our oils has the potential to make us happier, healthier, and more focused! 

What & How of Diffusing

All you need to start diffusing essential oils is a diffuser, a little bit of water, and some Young Living essential oils!

Each diffuser will have a fill line on the inside, so just add water to the fill line, add your oils of choice, replace the lid and turn on the diffuser. Instant transformation! You can place a diffuser virtually anywhere - your home, office, even your car! 

  • Feeling a little stressed with early morning traffic? Try Peppermint + Stress Away in an USB diffuser that sits right in your vehicle cup holder.
  • Need some help calming your thoughts at bedtime? Lavender, Cedarwood & Vetiver are your friends. (Put your diffuser right by your bed!).
  • Feeling a little stuffy? Diffuse Raven, Lemon and Frankincense (get extra oomph for diffusing while you shower - oils + steam!).
  • Want a festive atmosphere without the toxins in wall plugs and candles? Fire up that diffuser with a seasonal scent! Cinnamon bark, Clove and Orange are great in the fall/winter, and we love Lavender, Lemon and Lime in the spring/summer!
Quick tip! If you don't have a diffuser or have access to a wall plug/USB outlet, grab a tissue, a wooden clothes pin, or some cotton balls and drop a few drops of oil onto them. Place them in an air vent or under a seat in a vehicle or anywhere you can to create a passive diffuser! 

Benefits of Aromatherapy

The practice of aromatherapy has been around for centuries and has become an incredibly popular area of study in the last decade. There are countless studies on PubMed about the ways that essential oils can positively impact health areas such as immunity, mood and emotions, sleep, racing thoughts, focus and much more.

Does this sound too good to be true? Are you wondering how breathing in some Lavender can change your mood??

Aromatherapy (breathing in essential oils) sends messages to our brain through our cranial nerves. The olfactory (sense of smell!) cranial nerve ends in the brain right next to the organs of the limbic system - the system that controls mood, emotions and memory. So inhaling oils triggers this area, helping us to rest, reset, and recharge. And diffusing is a great way to get the benefit of these oils for more than one individual! You can play with combinations to find the ones you love and that are the most beneficial to you!

Diffusing FAQs

How long can I diffuse at a time?

We have diffusers going in our home pretty much 24/7! In large, open areas we don't keep track of how long we diffuse. At bedtime we use the intermittent setting on our diffusers and let them run all night long! And if we are diffusing in a room where doors are closed (ie kids bedrooms), we simply add less oils and use the intermittent setting. Don't overthink it!

How many drops do I use?

That will depend on your diffuser! Larger ones that cover more area will require more drops. Here are a few of our favorite diffusers available from Young Living:

Do I need to clean my diffuser?

  • We do recommend cleaning your diffuser for best results! For the Aria, YL recommends you wipe down after every use with a clean, dry cloth and, as needed, wash the glass bowl either by hand or in the dishwasher. For other diffusers, YL recommends: 
  • Clean the ultrasonic plate and lid after each use.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the ultrasonic plate, gently wipe it off using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
  • If essential oil begins to build up on the lid, gently wipe it off using mild soap and water only.
Diffuser Settings

Did you know you can turn the lights on and off and change the colors on the diffusers? Or that the kids' diffusers can also double as a sound machine? Depending on the diffuser simply press the button on the left to cycle through the light options.

Most diffusers also have 1 or 2 intermittent modes, which can be changed by pressing the button on the right to cycle through the options! This is one of our favorite ways to have oils diffusing while we sleep.

Check out the manual that comes with your diffuser or the product links above for specific info on each one!

Shutran Oil Spotlight - June 2024

Shurtran Spotlight


Shutran is an empowering essential oil blend specially formulated for men to boost feelings of masculinity and confidence. And when men are feeling more masculine and confident…let's just say they become pretty irresistible! This is one oil you want to have in your daily routine.

Shutran at a Glance

Shutran's inspiring aroma appeals to both men and women, making it a wonderful choice for a cologne. BUT Shutran does not contain any synthetic ingredients like conventional colognes. Instead, it is formulated with pure, hormone-supporting essential oils.

Besides smelling wonderful, Shutran is a powerful emotional tool for releasing blocks and promoting feelings of balance. Because it contains Idaho Blue Spruce and other oils, it is well known for its ability to support healthy hormone levels, especially testosterone!

Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Camphene - some studies may show that this constituent supports cardiovascular health, may help reduce pain and inflammation, support the body's defenses to fungal infections
Shutran + Testosterone

Shutran was designed specifically for men as a way to naturally support healthy hormone levels. Because it contains Idaho Blue Spruce, Ylang Ylang, and Nothern Lights Black Spruce, it is an excellent oil for men to help balance and support testosterone levels.

Conifer oils are effective for reaching the pineal gland of the brain, especially Idaho Blue Spruce. This small but extremely important control switch plays a big role in hormone secretion, and regulation of mood, sleep patterns, and sexual development. Because of this and because of its unique constituent profile, Blue Spruce (and Black Spruce too!) is supportive of maintaining healthy testosterone, growth hormone and other hormone levels. This incredible oil doesn't simply ‘replace' testosterone like conventional options. It supports the body's own production of hormones which is a much better way to approach the need.

Key Ingredients

  • Idaho Blue Spruce - You say testosterone, we say Idaho Blue Spruce! This slightly sweet conifer oil is wonderful for providing the body with tools to create healthy testosterone levels.
  • Ylang Ylang - Ylang ylang is a wonderful oil for promoting connection and openness in relationships, making Shutran wonderful for promoting intimacy and also for making it smell divine.
  • Hinoki - Hinoki essential oil has been used historically for refreshing the soul and is used to create a calm ambiance that can help increase intuitive awareness – something essential for true connection and intimacy!
  • Davana - A lesser known, but truly wonderful oil, Davana has an exotic floral aroma that creates an environment of joy and romance.  It was traditionally used by Ayurvedic healers to balance the body and spirit. It also smells divine!
  • Northern Lights Black Spruce - Northern Lights Black Spruce has a grounding, earthy aroma that feels like walking through a beautiful, quiet forest. This oil enhances and uplifts the spirit and promotes feelings of completeness.
Daily Habits with Shutran

Apply to the wrists, neck, and chest as a daily cologne. Add a roller fitment to the top of the bottle for easy application!

Combine with epsom salts and add to warm bath water for a relaxing bath, or to ease muscles after exercise.

Add a few drops to a lightweight carrier oil, such as jojoba or grapeseed, to create a natural beard oil. To a 2 oz glass dropper bottle add:
  • 15 drops Shutran
  • 10 drops Bergamot
  • Optional: 10 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce
  • Fill with Jojoba or Grapeseed oil
    Apply to beard and skin and gently massage to keep the hair and skin happy and healthy. 
Make a customized cologne roller. To a 10 mL roller bottle add:
  • 25 drops Shutran
  • 10 drops Idaho Blue Spruce
  • 10 drops Bergamot
  • 3 drops Ylang Ylang
  • Fill with carrier of choice 
Make a DIY Massage Oil:
  • To a 2 oz pump bottle add:
  • 10 drops each Shutran, Idaho Blue Spruce, & Ylang ylang 
  • 5 drops each Orange & Sensation
  • Fill with jojoba oil
    Use as massage oil as desired! This is a great combination of oils for fostering emotional connection and intimacy with a spouse.
Make a DIY Pomade:
  • In a double boiler melt: 3 Tbsp shea butter (use refined for less scent) + 2 Tbsp beeswax pellets
  • In a separate bowl combine 2 Tbsp jojoba oil & 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • Mix well then add in the melted shea butter/beeswax mixture and mix with a hand mixer.
  • Add 3-5  drops each Shutran, Idaho Blue Spruce, Rosemary, Cedarwood
    Mix well. Pomade will thicken as you mix. Transfer to a jar with an airtight lid.
    Store in a cool, dry place and use as desired.
Deeply inhale Shutran and diffuse while you journal, meditate, or visualize different outcomes to past traumatic or difficult experiences.

Apply to the inner thighs before or during intimacy.

Apply topically to desired area, to the bottoms of the feet, or use as needed to support a healthy endocrine system, especially to maintain balanced testosterone.

Apply between large and second toes which is a reflex point for releasing trauma stored in the body. Inhale the oil deeply when performing this exercise.

PanAway Spotlight - Feb 2024

PanAway Spotlight


PanAway® essential oil blend is one of Young Living's most popular products, and for good reason. This blend is a mix of  four powerful essential oils - Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint - that help soothe and stimulate muscles after exercise or anytime you need a little support!

PanAway includes the naturally occurring constituents methyl-salicylate and menthol, which work to support and relieve tired muscles and tendons. The cooling sensation of PanAway makes it the perfect companion for an active lifestyle. Apply it topically after your workouts to feel completely refreshed!

One of our favorite PanAway oil uses is to combine it with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and apply it to the chest first thing in the morning for an uplifting boost from its crisp scent. PanAway oil can be used to make a soothing bath soak by adding 10 drops to a cup of Epsom salt; the cooling oil mixed with warm water turns your bathroom into a spa! Whether your favorite PanAway essential oil uses are post-workout or simply relaxing from a long day at the office, this complex and cooling oil is the perfect way to give tired muscles a treat.

PanAway at a Glance

  • Offers a refreshing, stimulating aroma
  • Soothing to fatigued muscles after physical activity
  • Provides a cooling sensation when applied to shoulders, neck, and scalp
  • Stimulating blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils
Key Ingredients

The essential oils in PanAway work differently than conventional over the counter muscle rubs. Conventional products contain counter-irritants that simply make the skin tingle so the brain forgets the underlying pain.

Essential oils work differently. They can penetrate through the skin, into the cells of the muscles and tendons to support the body through pain and healing. Each oil in PanAway plays a specific role in supporting the body.

  • Wintergreen - supports the body's response to injury and inflammation, supports pain reduction
  • Helichrysum - supports the body through inflammation, muscle spasms and pain
  • Clove - a powerful antioxidant that helps the body during pain and also supports immune system
  • Peppermint - main constituent is menthol, which may work as an analgesic and is highly effective at penetrating through the skin, allowing the essential oils to reach the areas of need.
Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Methyl-salicylate - a naturally-occurring compound that may have analgesic properties; synthetic methyl-salicylate is commonly used in many over the counter preparations for minor aches and pains.
  • Menthol - has been studied for is use to support healing and relief of minor aches and pains 
  • Gamma-curcumene, Eugenol
PanAway & Emotions

Did you know that all of our essential oils have stress relieving benefits - even if they don't have a special name? It's easy to remember to grab the Joy, Stress Away, or Peace & Calming when it comes to dealing with less “physical” issues, but when you put together a list of your must have basic oils, no matter what they are, they will all be supporting your emotional functions as well.

One of the heavy-hitters in the round up of basic oils is PanAway. It smells like root beer. You probably keep it on hand for physical relief, muscle soreness, cooling massage after a workout, but get ready - this blend also helps us to release…

Exhaustion. Sign me up for a vat!!!

We all know that pain is exhausting, and emotional pain can be crippling when it is pushed down for a long time without being addressed. Our connective tissue and muscles are directly affected by this type of repressed stress.

When you use essential oils, you are not simply addressing a surface issue of “something hurts”. Essential oils interact with our brain and our nervous system. As we intentionally work on managing stress, we begin to CHANGE the instructions and signals our brain is sending out for our survival and protection.

If you find yourself exhausted, it may be time to have a talk with inner you. What is swimming around in there, unanswered, unheard, unfelt. Using PanAway can be a great way to start releasing some of that deep pain and/or exhaustion.

Daily Habits with PanAway

Combine PanAway with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and use it with massage after physical activity for a cool, stimulating sensation.

Apply it to your neck and shoulders in the morning with V-6 for an uplifting, refreshing aroma.

Apply it to the bottoms of feet and calves for a relaxing massage. This is especially wonderful after standing or walking all day!

Combine 1 drop of PanAway with 4 drops of V-6 and rub it into your scalp and the back of your neck for an invigorating massage.

Combine 1 cup of epsom salt and 5 drops of PanAway and pour into hot water for a relaxing and refreshing detox bath. Optional companion oils: Copaiba, Frankincense, Oregano, Aroma Siez 

Make a ‘Head On' roller for head and neck tension. 
  • 10 mL roller bottle
  • 20 drops PanAway
  • Optional: 10 drops each Lavender, Copaiba, & Frankincense

Make a ‘Release' roller for emotional exhaustion
  • 10 mL roller bottle 
  • 20 drops PanAway

Safe Solutions for your Sex Life

Safe Solutions for your Sex Life

When it comes to physical intimacy, there are many things that can help or hinder us in the process. One simple way we can enhance our experience with products that don't harm our health is with Young Living massage oils. Find safe solutions for your sex life right here!

Safe Solutions for your Sex Life

Unfortunately both conventional and organic lubricants contain ingredients that can cause harm long after their use. These ingredients are toxic to vaginal tissue and disrupt the sensitive vagnial microbiome (balance of microorganisms that naturally inhabit the vagina).  Exposure to these ingredients can lead to discomfort, irritation, and increased risk of infection - even from short term exposure. Some lubricant ingredients also have the potential to cause chronic health issues including cancer and reproductive problems from repeated exposure.

Sensation Massage Oil

Sensation is formulated to create a beautiful smell that is profoundly romantic, refreshing, and arousing. It amplifies the excitement of experiencing new heights of self-expression and awareness. This blend is also nourishing and hydrating for the skin. The unique blend of essential oils can encourage and amplify an atmosphere of love, excitement, and affection.

  • Geranium essential oil is commonly used in perfumes for its uplifting aroma, and it can help balance hormones as well.
  • Jasmine essential oil helps you develop a broader perspective with its romantic floral aroma - a very feminine aroma that embraces and exults the sacred masculine - and has been revered for centuries as a symbol of love and purity, harmonizing opposites to promote wholeness.
  • Ylang Ylang essential oil has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection.
Relation Massage Oil

Relaxation massage oil can help restore a state of calm and invites tranquility to the mind, body, and spirit. The pure vegetable oils blended with essential oils are moisturizing and nourishing to help soothe all skin types. This calming massage oil combines some of our favorite essential oils from across the globe

  • Lavender helps promote feelings of calm and relaxation.
  • Ylang Ylang has a calming aroma that sets the mood for romance and helps enhance emotional connection.
  • Spearmint and Peppermint are energizing and uplifting to the body and mind.
  • Bergamot and Tangerine promote feelings of calm and connection to others.
Using Oils for Intimacy

  • Use your massage oil of choice in place of a personal lubricant for intimacy. There is always the option to further dilute the massage oil with V-6 carrier to test the area(s) or when making the switch.
  • Use Idaho Blue Spruce and Ylang ylang in the diffuser to set the mood for romance. 
  • Use Idaho Blue Spruce to support healthy testosterone levels. Many men choose to use it as a dietary supplement, and you can use it topically as a cologne as well.
  • Apply Goldenrod to the inner thighs for men or women.
  • Use PowerGize as a supplement to support healthy hormones and virility for men.
  • Use FemiGen or other hormone supporting supplements for women to keep hormones balanced.
I've put together a text-based master class with even more information to spice up your connection with your partner just for you. Simply text INTIMACY to (480) 401-1478 for the Sex and Intimacy Master Class.

FemiGen Supplement Spotlight - Nov 2023

That’s a great question Cheryl! I sent you an email!
Read more...
 
Read Older Posts

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
