Essential oils all day: Power your day from sunrise to sunset
We love to reach for our essential oils whenever we need an aromatic pick-me-up or a hug in a bottle, but did you know you can use Young Living essential oils every hour of the day? We’ve created a sunup-to-sundown essential oil guide that gets you through the day the YL way.
Rise and shine
Your bed may be a warm oasis, but when you can see the sun streaming through your window, it’s time to start the day! Push back your sheets’ cozy embrace and start off a refreshing morning by diffusing 2 drops Lemon, 2 drops Citrus Fresh™, and 2 drops Peppermint.
YL tip: Try adding a few drops of oil to your diffuser the night before, so you can power on the invigorating scent first thing in the morning. Find more tips for a splendid morning here!
Sweat it out
Now that you’ve conquered the temptation to sleep in, hit the ground running! Mix equal parts R.C.™ essential oil blend and V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex before your HIIT class, or opt for a more tranquil sweat session by rubbing Myrrh on your chest before yoga practice.
Pamper yourself
Wash up after your workout with a spa-like shower. Add several drops of Eucalyptus Radiata to a damp washcloth that sits just outside the fall of water for a refreshing aromatic steam or take your shampoo and conditioner to the next level by adding 10 drops each of Cedarwood and Rosemary straight into the bottle. Once you’ve toweled off, use a drop or two of Lavender topically for a floral fragrance that will make you feel as fresh as a daisy.
Boost your breakfast
You can’t skip the most important part of the morning: a healthy breakfast. For slow mornings, add a few drops of Lemon Vitality™ to homemade muffin batter for a boost of citrus flavor. In a hurry? Simply mix Jade Lemon Vitality™ into your favorite yogurt or grab some Einkorn granola to get your day started right.
Head out the door
You’ve already hit an amazing stride by working out and getting ready. Keep the momentum going with EO-infused fuel while you crush your to-do list. Send your kids to school with a kiss and KidScents® MightyZymes™. Now take care of yourself by jump-starting work hours with NingXia Nitro® without worrying about caffeine jitters.
Relax during lunch
Take a breather during your lunch break to unwind. Rub a few drops of Stress Away™ on your hands and inhale deeply for a peaceful aroma during your lunch break. Close your eyes for a minute or read a book while eating to take your mind off the stress of the day. Once you’re feeling rejuvenated, apply Deep Relief™ Roll-On to your neck and shoulders before jumping back into the bustle.
Beat the afternoon slump
It’s 3 p.m.—the afternoon slump has arrived. Keep your goals in mind as you add Inspiration™ essential oil blend to your diffuser for an uplifting aroma while you power through those long afternoon hours. Looking for something to sweeten the deal? Add some YL Vitality™ Drops +Energy to your water bottle for a boost of hydration—and inspiration!
Create a five-star meal in your kitchen
Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, CEO, or student making your way through college, you’ve made it! It’s 5 p.m., and the best part of the day has arrived: dinner. Make a bountiful pasta dish with Oregano Vitality™, Basil Vitality™, and the barest hint of Black Pepper Vitality™. Trust us—the whole family will think you went to culinary school.
Wind down
Kick your feet up; it’s time to relax! Take a much-deserved bath with Lavender Calming Bath Bombs. Once you’ve dried off with your fluffiest towel, massage Tranquil™ Roll-On onto the back of your neck and let its soothing scent give you some bedtime serenity. Thirty minutes before saying hello to the cozy embrace of your sheets, go through these 7 tips for an unbeatable bedtime routine.

The Scary Truth About Chemicals in Dryer Sheets & Fabric Softeners
Of the 3-10 gallons of toxic household cleaning products in a home, the chemicals in dryer sheets and fabric softeners are considered to be among the most toxic. Fabric softeners and dryer sheets are made up of pernicious chemicals combined with a hefty dose of fragrance. The fragrance chemicals are particularly difficult to remove because they have been designed to cling dearly to fabric so the signature scent stays in the clothing. This is called “fragrance substantivity,” which describes how long a fragrance lasts on a particular surface and how it is affected by temperature, humidity, and other conditions.
Lingering chemical residues in the clothes enter the body through the skin, which is tantamount to eating them! Many of these compounds are solvents that directly affect the nervous system and endocrine systemand can contribute to the development of chronic illness. Since the term “fragrance” on a label can mean up to hundreds of synthetic chemicals, the body is provided a cocktail of poison 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of this issue because their constant exposure to these chemicals makes it impossible for them to realize the impact it makes on their health. Not to mention the health of those around them! The non-stop exposure has dulled their sense of smell as a warning mechanism, their ability to perceive the specific fragrance in many cases is lost, or they actually get a high and crave the smell of the clothing.
Of 171 they studied, the Environmental Working Group gives 83.33% of fabric softeners a D or F rating.
The fact that your fabric softener may be under a counter and only used occasionally is bad enough, since the chemicals in the bottles and boxes are off-gassing into your living environment. But the truth is, these chemicals are accompanying you day and night through your skin and your lungs as you wear your clothes and sleep in your sheets. That’s why using fabric softeners, dryer sheets or even laundry detergent with fragrance are such dangerous health offenders. Once you start using them, they seem practically inescapable!
Live Life Clean Tip: if you can smell detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets in the laundry room when you’re not using them, that’s a sign that they’re off-gassing chemicals and degrading your indoor air quality.
12 Reasons to Get Rid of Your Fabric Softeners and Dryer Sheets
These are just a few of the toxic chemicals in commercial dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners! Note, this list doesn’t include the synthetic fragrances that are added to these products!
amazing education RESOURCE
I started using Essential Oils simply because my mama visited with her new brand starter kit, raved about it, and I had birthday money! Six years later it was one of the best unexpected blessing to our family.
I had never really thought about essential oils even though I had already been on a wellness journey for a few years due to an imbalance of hormones triggered by birth control.
I had focused so much on what I put IN my body and MOVING my body (weight gain was a HUGE symptom for me with my hormones out of wack!)
I also am OVER THE MOON excited about the emotional + hormonal support essential oils/ supplements that have been a GAME CHANGER for my cycle and motherhood!
Favorite Ways I use Young Living for....
-Kiddos sleepy routine-
Every night we (the kiddos know what to do) fill up their diffuser and add about 4 drops of Lavender Oil and and 4 drops Peace & Calming (smells so dreamy). Or we love the Sleepyize blend which makes ME want to fall asleep putting them down. I also have rollerballs of Valor (amazing support when kids are too anxious to fall asleep) and peace & Calming. I will rub them on the kids feet, their wrist and a little on their spine and give them a tiny massage, or they will simply open the bottle up and smell it while laying bed.
Lavender is a herb that is widely known to help with nervousness, anxiety, stress, and sleeplessness. It doesn’t make you sleepy like taking a sleeping pill would, but what it does do is help take the edge off of sleeplessness.
Glow Serum, my face is obsessed with this!
You can make it two ways:
One way in a roller bottle so I can just roll it on my cheekbones when I want a little glow after putting my makeup on. The other way I make it is in a little dropper and drop a few drops into the palm of my hand and rub it all over my face like a moisturizer.
You can literally get rid of ALL of your moisturizers and just use this (plus sunscreen). All you need is Frankincense and Copaiba Essential Oils, both come in your starter kit (see info at the end of this post).
I also have been applying Frankincense directly to a pimple or fine lines! DO IT!
I highly recommend using the Think Dirty App to identify the potential risks associated with the personal care products you use everyday, this is where I started.
Frankincense- Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Fighting supporter. Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent, meaning it helps protect skin cells. It can be used to help support acne blemishes, the appearance of large pores, prevent wrinkles, and it even helps lift and tighten skin to naturally slow signs of aging.
-Immune Boost-
When my wonderful doctor prescribed me Thieves + Frankincense to help boost our whole families immune system during a season of sickness, that was a GAME CHANGER, especially Frank down the spine!! We also rub the roller bottle on the bottom of our feet each morning, then put their socks on. I have read that the main thing with oils is consistency and its so true!
-Detangler-
We use a detangler almost everyday for my girl. I was excited to find a recipe to make my own that is non-toxic and also has health benefits. I Young Living Lavender Mint Conditioner, combined with distilled water and Essential Oils.
-Cleaning-
I have used just vinegar and water for YEARS and years and HATED the smell. Now I use Thieves and add in whatever essential oils to make it smell the way I want it to! Thieves also has liquid hand soap, laundry detergent and more that I have been using (and love, again, super budget friendly!)
-Essential Oils for Wool Dryer Balls-
After I did some research we quickly got rid of all dryer sheets and fabric softeners from our house. I use THESE Wool Dryer Balls and I add a couple drops of Lavender, Purification or Thieves Essential Oils to each ball. Make sure the oil absorbs in before tossing in with your clothes. If you deal with your clothes still being staticky, that is due to over-drying. So decrease your drying time. If you still have an issue you attach a safety pin to your dryer balls or some toss in a ball of tinfoil, problem solved!
-Diffusing-
We have completely gotten away from candles because of how toxic they are, I was so frustrated to learn this. The money I wasted on candles was ridiculous AND it was harming out bodies.
The problem is that I just LOVE, like really LOVEEEEEEE the ambiance that candles add. I am an enneagram 4, so yea, I love my environment to be cozy. I gave a diffuser a go, I had nothing to loose. I cannot imagine life without my diffusers now! I put one in every single room in our home, for real.
My favorite thing about the diffusers we have is that they have lights inside, like a soft lamp!
You can diffuse whatever you are needing- calm, energy, headache relief, help relive a cough and more. There is even a combo to duplicate my favorite Anthropologie candle- the Volcano. And I made sure to get diffusers for the kids rooms that they are a diffuser and humidifier combo. One of my favorites to diffuse is just Peace & Calming Essential Oil. It smells so good and it has helps ALL OF US to relax. I used to diffuse it before the kids get home from school and the homework, but now its going all the time with them home!

In research done on liquid minerals (the best form for absorption), participants were found to have adverse effects on the liquid minerals without essential oils, whereas those effects were completely eliminated with the addition of essential oils. This plus the additional increase in synergy and bioavailability makes mineral supplements like Young Living's Mineral Essence much more effective than other mineral supplements on the market.
Here's another example: Before putting essential oils in Young Living's MultiGreens supplement, there was a 42% absorption of the nutrients in 24 hours. With the addition of YL essential oils, blood absorption increased to 64% in 30 minutes and 86% in one hour. What?
If you want to get the most for your money and the most nutrients and health benefits possible for your body,
