Back to School - If You're Feeling Diffuser Blends - August 2025

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. 


If You're Feeling... Excited - Diffuse: Grapefruit

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!!

Daily Hormone Essentials Spotlight - July 2025

Daily Hormone Essentials Spotlight

Feel balanced naturally with Daily Hormone Essentials. This clinically backed, plant-powered supplement offers daily hormone support through PMS, perimenopause, and menopause - all in one easy, on-the-go pouch. 

Daily Hormone Essentials at a Glance

  • Helps support healthy mood and energy throughout the month
  • Promotes balanced cortisol levels and supports restful sleep
  • Supports comfort through hot flashes, night sweats, and hormonal transitions
  • Supports mental clarity, memory, and cognitive function
  • Formulated with herbal extracts, essential oils, and minerals
  • NO Hormones, added sugars artificial colors artificial sweeteners artificial preservatives
Daily Hormone Essentials is a hormone-free women’s hormonal health supplement that blends clinically studied botanicals, adaptogens, and essential oils into a fast-absorbing gel. It supports healthy energy, libido, mood, restful sleep, cortisol balance, and everyday stress management - while promoting comfort through hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and fatigue. All that without added sugar or the side effects of typical hormone therapy. Simply sip and feel like you again at every stage of life.

Background

Hormonal changes are a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy. Whether it’s PMS, perimenopause, or menopause, shifts in estrogen and progesterone can lead to mood swings, low energy, brain fog, hot flashes, and other not-so-fun symptoms.

That’s where Daily Hormone Essentials comes in. This hormone- free, plant-powered supplement gives you daily support through all three stages of your hormonal journey. It blends clinically studied herbal extracts, adaptogens, and essential oils into one fast-absorbing gel - no pills, powders, or added hormones needed.

Key Ingredients

  • Herbal complex - Your hormone’s BFF. A clinically studied blend of red giant angelica (Angelica gigas), silk plant (Cynanchum wilfordii), and fireweed (Phlomis umbrosa) that promotes comfort through menopause’s curveballs - hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, fatigue, and more - while supporting a healthy mood throughout the month. All without the side effects of typical hormone therapy.
  • Chaste tree berry - Keeps the roller coaster in check. This period sidekick offers support for hormonal balance and common PMS symptoms.
  • Ashwagandha - The chill-out root. This adaptogen helps support restful sleep, balanced cortisol, mental clarity, and healthy everyday stress management.
  • Maca root - The all-in adaptogen. Maca root is often used to support reproductive health and provide comfort through menopause. Some research also suggests that it may help support mood and ease everyday stress.
  • Frankincense - Ancient wisdom meets modern extraction. The patents-pending DeepSpectra technology uses Frankincense essential oil to unlock powerful compounds from the resin, studied for their potential to support women’s hormonal health and natural hormone balance.
  • Magnesium glycinate - The mellow mineral. This highly bioavailable form of magnesium supports restful sleep, relaxed muscles, and a chill nervous system when you need it most.
Clinical Studies at a Glance

The herbal complex in Daily Hormone Essentials is clinically shown to:
  • Promote comfort through menopausal transition, including hot flashes, numbness and tingling, insomnia, nervousness, vertigo, fatigue, joint discomfort, and vaginal dryness
  • Lead to a 62% improvement in KMI (Kupperman Menopausal Index) score compared to placebo
  • Deliver results with none of the side effects of typical hormone therapy
  • Read the studies themselves right hereright hereright herehere, and here.
At the heart of this formula is a herbal complex shown in three randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical studies to promote comfort through hormonal transitions. One of these studies showed it helped with these 12 common symptoms:
  • Hotflashes
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Insomnia
  • Nervousness
  • Mood dips
  • Vertigo
  • Fatigue
  • Joint discomfort
  • Headaches
  • Pounding heart
  • Crawling skin sensation
  • Vaginal dryness
Adaptogens & Your Hormones

Daily Hormone Essentials also contains two adaptogens: ashwagandha and maca root. Adaptogens are plants that support your body’s ability to respond to everyday stress in a healthy way. They work by supporting balanced levels of cortisol, your main stress hormone.

Here’s why that matters: When you’re stressed, your body turns on the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis (your fight-or- flight system). That’s helpful short term, but if stress sticks around, this system stays on and keeps pumping out cortisol. Too much cortisol can throw off your reproductive axis and lead to potential suppression of your gonadotropin-releasing hormone (necessary for balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone), which in turn lowers the production of the luteinizing hormone you need to ovulate and have a menstrual cycle.

Chronic stress doesn’t just mess with your hormones though; it can also lower your sex drive. And when that happens, you can end up feeling even more stressed! That’s why adaptogens like ashwagandha are so beneficial. They support balanced cortisol levels, thereby also helping maintain healthy hormone balance and maybe even helping you feel more in the mood.

In fact, a 2015 study showed that the same form of ashwagandha we use in Daily Hormone Essentials and our PowerGize herbal supplement supports healthy sexual function. If you take both of these products daily as directed, you will reach the daily dosage of ashwagandha that was used in this promising study.

With Daily Hormone Essentials, you get support for balanced hormones and cortisol, healthy energy levels, and libido - all in one easy drink!

How To Use Daily Hormone Essentials

Take 1 sachet in the morning with food. Squeeze straight from the sachet or stir into warm water for fast-absorbing hormone support, anytime, anywhere.

Power of your Purchase - a note directly from Young Living

Your choice helps bring balance to yourself and the earth, while empowering girls in Ecuador.

Daily Hormone Essentials contains Ylang Ylang from our farm in Ecuador, where we’re helping young girls get a quality education at the Young Living Academy. Many of our students become the first in their families to graduate from high school, unlocking opportunities for themselves and their communities. We’re also working to restore endangered orchids on this farm.

The Lavender and Clary Sage in this plant-based hormone supplement come from farms in France and Utah, where we use pollinator-friendly practices, intercropping, and even sheep for weeding to protect soil health and biodiversity. And DeepSpectra Frankincense2 extract is made from upcycled plant material to reduce waste. 

We’re continuing to do our part by designing our sachets with sustainability in mind. Using less plastic helps reduce product waste compared to bulky tubs or bottles.

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!!

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

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!!

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.
So much more goodness about this supplement - all the info is on this blog post. You can find more about other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.

If You're Feeling Diffuser Blends - Feb 2025

If You're Feeling...
Love is in the Air Diffuser Blends

Sometimes, emotions can feel overwhelming or hard to pin down, but your environment can play a powerful role in helping you process those feelings. Diffusing essential oils tailored to your mood can not only create a calming atmosphere but also help you navigate whatever you're going through. Now matter what you're feeling, there is an oil that is your perfect match for finding balance.

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. 



If You're Feeling... Lonely - 
Diffuse: Ylang Ylang

Ylang Ylang’s sweet, floral aroma promotes feelings of joy and inner peace, making it an excellent choice for easing feelings of loneliness. It uplifts the spirit and fosters emotional connection, helping to replace isolation with a sense of comfort and positivity. Diffusing Ylang Ylang creates a serene and nurturing atmosphere.


If You're Feeling... Giddy - Diffuse: Orange

Orange is vibrant and uplifting, known for its ability to enhance feelings of excitement, playfulness, and positivity. Its sweet, citrusy scent stimulates the senses, making it perfect for moments of lighthearted joy. Diffusing Orange instantly brightens your mood and fills your space with a cheerful energy.


If You're Feeling... Heartbroken - Diffuse: Bergamot

Bergamot’s citrusy yet warm aroma is both uplifting and soothing, offering comfort during times of emotional pain. Known for its ability to balance mood and reduce stress, it helps restore confidence and optimism. Diffusing Bergamot creates a calming environment where healing can begin.


If You're Feeling... Hopeful - Diffuse: Hope

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!!

Gym Rat Diffuser Blends - Jan 2025

Gym Rat Diffuser Blends

Hitting the gym is more than just lifting weights or running on a treadmill - it's about pushing your limits, staying focused, and finding balance between effort and recovery. Whether you're gearing up for a challenging workout, winding down after a session, or just trying to stay motivated, the right atmosphere can make all the difference. Diffusing essential oils in your workout space is a simple yet powerful way to enhance energy, promote relaxation, and support your fitness goals. Let these carefully curated blends inspire you to conquer your gym routine with confidence and ease.

Not working out at home? No problem! Simply apply these oils topically before a workout and enjoy the same benefits!

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!!

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!
