It's the time of year when we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends will help set the stage to do just that. Rich in warm, spicy oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove, these blends will also help show some love to our immune, adrenal, and respiratory systems (all of which need some TLC this time of year!). The woodsy oils in these blends help calm our minds and bodies and create the coziest holiday home. So fill up your diffuser, and keep it running all season long!

Log Cabin Imagine a cozy little cabin nestled in the woods, a cool breeze blowing by, and the lovely glow of a fire. That is what this diffuser blend is!! Calming and grounding Patchouli meets the woodsiness of Pine, allowing you to envision the forest. The Clove, Pine and Bergamot bring the warmth and light of a crackling fire. This blend is a little sweet, a little spicy, and a little woodsy… the perfect cozy combination!

Favorite Scarf Just like the comfort of your favorite scarf, this blend wraps you in the warmth of familiarity. Diffuse it throughout the cooler months to bring some fall and winter hygge into your home! Christmas Spirit blends Cinnamon Bark, Orange and Spruce - the perfect cozy combination that supports the immune system. It also helps uplift the mind! Add in a little extra spruce (Idaho Blue Spruce!) for some sweetness, the brightness of Grapefruit, and the spice of Clove for the perfect blend.

Thankful Heart We believe that a thankful heart is something to cultivate year round! Joy, Tangerine and Frankincense are powerful emotional tools that can help us recenter and focus our minds and hearts on the beauty of life before us. Joy is uplifting to the emotions, helping us move from feelings of sadness or shut down towards feelings of joy. Frankincense is incredibly grounding and centering to the mind, while Tangerine is uplifting and stimulates creativity, and Bergamot is wonderful for releasing anxieties. Diffuse this blend throughout this season as a cue for your inner self to stop and look around at the beauty surrounding you.

Northern Lights Black Spruce is grounding and soothing to the body and mine, and Orange is uplifting to our emotions. It is a wonderfully soothing blend that smells amazing – this combination will also rival any scented candle!

Comfort & Joy The holidays are a time for gathering with loved ones, but let's be honest—sometimes that can be an emotional experience.

Christmas Spirit brings the cozy, festive feeling we all want, while Frankincense adds a grounding element so you can feel calm and centered. Lavender softens the edges of tension, and a bit of Bergamot brings a bright, uplifting twist to help ease anxious feelings. Diffuse this blend when gathering with family, or whenever you need a little extra emotional boost! It's like wrapping yourself in comfort while still embracing the joy of the season.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell wonderful and inviting all at the same time. You can also easily transform these blends into roller recipes, bath recipes, sprays, and more!!

  • 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 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 judgment, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends!
  • 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 on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
  • To make a 2oz massage oil from a 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 Complex or other carrier oil to the top of the bottle. Invert to mix, then use as desired!
