Citrus Slush

There is something so refreshing and summery about citrus oils. I don't know if that is because we stick lemon or lime in our Coronas and water or if it is just the fresh scent.

This Citrus Slush blend uses Lime, Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend) and Grapefruit. The combination is energising, purifying and uplifting to help your home smell delicious and its occupants happy and ready for fun.

Sugar Plum Fairy

If you are anything like me, Christmas Eve isn't a relaxing day - it's your last chance to get your shit sorted for Christmas! I'm using this beautiful blend today to uplift my Christmas spirit and to motivate me to get organised.

This Sugar Plum Fairy blend uses two of dōTERRA's ready made blends - Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend) and Motivate (Encouraging Blend). These two blends both mean business. They are uplifting and energising to get you up and moving.

Then there is Douglas Fir. Not only does this fir look like a Christmas tree, it also has that tree scent which smells like Christmas for those who decorate a real tree. Douglas Fir is also great to use when you have low energy to help give you a lift.

After diffusing this, I have no reason not to get myself organised for Christmas!!

Get Up And Go

I love diffusing a fresh and energising blend during the day. Not only does it make me feel good and give me some energy, but it also is a fantastic way to have the house smell great without using an air freshner that is filling your home with chemicals.

This Get Up And Go blend uses Lemon, Peppermint, Wild Orange and Frankincense. Lemon, Peppermint and Wild Orange are great for raising your spirits and increasing your energy. Frankincense gives it more depth and its grounding qualities help keep you balanced.

Another thing that is great about Lemon is that it is the Oil of Focus. It engages the mind and aids concentration which helps give the extra energy some direction and drive to get tasks complete.

Sweet Dreams

For those of you who really enjoy the sweet scents, this may just be the night blend that you are chasing.

I have shared before that Lavender and Cedarwood have calmative and sedative properties which is why they are regularly used in diffuser blends at night.  Marjoram is usually associated with cooking and it's sedative and relaxing properties don't tend to be discussed, but these qualities make it perfect to be used for sleep.

The ability to uplift and invigorate are qualities of Wild Orange that I have previously shared, so you are probably wondering why I have put it in a sleep blend?  It is because Wild Orange is a clever little oil and has calmative and sedative properties too!  It makes Wild Orange a great oil to have on hand because it so versatile.

Lavender Lullaby

Sometimes when we have a lot going on in life, sleep can evade us.  It is nice to have a diffuser blend on at bedtime to help you relax and fall into a deep sleep.  Lavender Lullaby is a lovely blend that is perfect for these situations.

Lavender and Cedarwood are both calming and have sedative properties which will help you go to and stay asleep. Bergamot is assuring and relaxing to help you let go of some of those stresses that might be keeping you up.  Those deeper notes of Vetiver are very grounding and relaxing, not to mention that this oil also contains sedative properties.

Breathing in these calming and sedative oils can help you relax and get that deep sleep you are chasing

Just Be Happy

Just Be Happy is a beautiful daytime diffuser blend using Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon and Ylang Ylang. These oils combine to uplift, energise and bring joy.

Let's look at what each of these oils brings to the mix:

  • Bergamot isn't just uplifting, but it is also assuring to help ease stress
  • Grapefruit is a purifier so it will help freshen the air while lifting your energy
  • Lemon is energising and brings joy
  • Ylang Ylang is both calming and playful, and it adds a beautiful floral note amongst the citrus oils

Calm Deep Sleep

The essential oil that most people associate with sleep is Lavender, but not everyone loves its scent. Not to worry though, there are plenty of options to help you sleep without relying solely on Lavender. This blend doesn't have any Lavender at all and it is one of my go to sleep blends.

Calm Deep Sleep uses a combination of Bergamot, Clary Sage and Cypress.  Bergamot and Cypress are both calming and Clary Sage promotes calm and sleep. Together they make an unreal bedtime blend.

Apple Blossoms

This blend is called Apple Blossoms because that is what it smells like when you close your eyes, breathe it in... and use a little bit of imagination.  Regardless of whether you think it smells like Apple Blossoms or not, it is a beautiful blend.

Cardamom has the ability to both invigorate and relax, while Douglas Fir is cleansing and grounding. Grapefruit has a lovely fresh scent and Frankincense is grounding.  This is a great blend to have in your home.

Feel Good

I needed a bit of a boost today so I decided to diffuse this beautiful blend to lift my mood. The Feel Good blend brings together Bergamot, Wild Orange, Spearmint and Ylang Ylang.

Bergamot, Wild Orange and Spearmint are all uplifting, while Ylang Ylang brings its calming and soothing scent to the party.

Allow this blend to work its magic as you breathe in its sweet aroma.

Liquid Jelly Beans

If you are feeling This blend is called Liquid Jelly Beans for good reason - it smells sweet, juicy and delicious! It combines Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend), Juniper Berry, Lemongrass and Wild Orange.

These oils bring with them qualities you could describe as revitalising, regenerating, renewing and uplifting, making them a great choice when you are feeling a bit disengaged, drained or discouraged.
