I enjoy making our home feel cozy and festive with essential oils during the colder months. I also take the opportunity to restock our wellness cabinet with oils and natural remedies we use year-round. Over the years I’ve made many changes to what we bring into our home, and those choices have had a meaningful effect on our family’s health. I’ve used Young Living oils and supplements for years and truly appreciate their quality and versatility.
Below I’ll share the essential oils I recommend for winter, how I use them, a few favorite diffuser blends, and details about a current sale and a gift offer to help you restock your wellness supplies.

Stress Away – “Vacation in a bottle.” This calming blend pairs vanilla with lime for a fresh, comforting scent. Use topically on wrists or neck, add a few drops to Epsom salts for a bath, or diffuse with lavender to create a relaxing bedtime atmosphere.

Peace & Calming –As the name suggests, this blend brings a peaceful, calming mood to a room. It’s gentle enough for children and pets and works well in the diffuser or applied topically with a carrier oil.
Thieves – This popular blend supports immune health and is a versatile household staple. Diffuse it, inhale from your palms, apply diluted to the feet, or use Thieves Vitality in warm tea with honey and lemon. It’s also effective in cleaning; add drops to Thieves Household Cleaner or to baking soda for tub and tile scrubs.
Thieves smells wonderful paired with citrus oils like tangerine for spicy, seasonal diffuser blends.
Orange – One of the most versatile citrus oils. Orange has antioxidant properties and a bright, cheerful scent that pairs well with almost any blend. Use diluted for topical applications, in beverages, or in the diffuser to lift the mood.

Bergamot – A citrus oil known for lifting mood and easing stress. It blends well with frankincense and patchouli or with spruce and lemon. As a vitality oil, it adds a distinctive flavor to teas and foods.
