Is there anything better than your space being filled with the scent of crisp, Autumn air?
Our diffusers are always running! I love that we can support our immune and respiratory systems, bolster our emotions, cleanse the air and make things smell happy and inviting all at the same time with just a few powerful drops!
Here are a few fun recipes for you as we transition into the Autumn season!
Mmm…Oatmeal Cream Pie and Marshmallow Latte!
Which are your favorites?
Are you missing something to make your favorite?
ProTip: You can also easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays! Adjust the quantities to your personal preferences!
* To make a 10mL 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 Complex) and you're good to go!
* To make a 2oz spray from any recipe: double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, add a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray anywhere you want to freshen!
Citrus Fresh might be the best citrus oil around. It contains so many favorites - Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon and more. This oil is incredibly versatile and a household staple for sure!
CITRUS FRESH & EMOTIONS
Citrus Fresh might be one of the most overlooked emotional support oils! Because this blend combines multiple citrus oils with a hint of mint, it is a great choice for stimulating the right side of the brain. When we are consumed with worry, stress or suffer from analysis paralysis, the right side of the brain is less active. Inhaling Citrus Fresh, getting calm and quiet, allowing the emotions and processing them can help us move out of that place of stuckness!
Also, because Citrus Fresh contains limonene, it has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical stress, and when we lower that physical stress burden our emotions benefit as well!

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these wonderfully uplifting blends with Citrus Fresh!

It's finally Spring and everything is blooming! No, really....Everything...All at Once!
Ahh Spring! We are so glad you're here! You bring new life, amazing beauty and the promise of Summer!
So many beautiful things come to mind around the thoughts of Spring! But for some of us, Spring also brings temporary challenges like sneezes, itches, annoyances... Especially this year when Spring came all at once! I usually feel a gradual slide into this season as things pop up and bloom at various intervals. When that happens, I feel like I am better equipped to handle the changes in the air. This year, with everything coming to life at once, I've needed a little oily support to help me through. If you're needing a little assistance as well, you could try my favorite seasonal support recipe!
When I am home, sleeping, or in my car I prefer the diffuser method. If I am out and about, away or from my diffuser, I prefer to apply the roller blend to the bottom of my feet. *Remember lemon can be photosensitive.
My Spring Sidekick Recipe:
6 drops YL Peppermint Essential Oil
6 drops YL Lemon Essential Oil
6 drops YL Lavender Essential Oil
Any YL Diffuser of your choice + water = Diffuser method
Any roller bottle of your choice + carrier oil = Topical method
Pro Tips:
I have found that when I have these oils on or around me outdoors, insects seem to interact with me less! (Bonus!)
I have found that the air seems cleaner, fresher and the moods are lighter when this is in the diffuser! (Like Spring should be!)

This time of year can be very Exciting, Uplifting, and Joyful! We take opportunities to share love, appreciation and support with friends, family and those around us! Pretty lights glow all around and we hum holiday tunes as we shop, bake, and decorate..... We are living our best lives with anticipation of gatherings with loved ones!
But, let's be honest..... for some, the season of Joy and Giving can also come with the feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, mixed emotions, and hurry! The shortened days, the weather and the busyness of getting all the details together can add to those feelings.
Many of us fall somewhere in the middle..... I know I do!
Taking a bit of time for self care, and whole home care, is very important. Enjoy a quiet moment admiring the Lights, consciously stop to enjoy the Laughter in the room, give a Hug where needed, observe the Love shared by family and friends, or take time for something that brings you Joy. Remember, we set the tone for those around us so we need to check in with ourselves while looking out for those we love. Use the tools in the recipes below to adjust the feelings as needed and see the difference.
We have put together some great resources for you this Holiday season! Our December newsletter has some awesome ideas for beating the winter blues and lists fabulous classes to support you this month! In addition, I believe you will LOVE this presentation with 25 diffuser recipes to use all month and throughout the winter! Enjoy!
