We all know that essential oils, or EO's, are life. I don't go a day without diffusing or topically applying my EO's and my kids are right along with me. The health benefits are irrefutable and they leave my home smelling heavenly. 

EO's can be used aromatically in a diffuser, topically (sometimes mixed with a carrier oil) and internally. Overall, I use my EO's in a diffuser - four diffusers to be exact. I have them placed in various spots in my home. Can you tell how much I love EO's? 

Anyway - I wanted to share with you my go to essential oil blends. These are the blends that I typically use on a daily basis. I do change things up - especially when someone in my home is sick or another need has to be met. My kids and I took it upon ourselves to name our fav EO blends. I hope you enjoy!

Sleeping Beauty

This EO blend's name is very fitting. When I run it through the diffuser, this is exactly how we all sleep - and we wake up too! Well rested and ready to start our day. My son named this blend and its the perfect way to describe it.

"Sleeping Beauty" consists of:

• 3 Drops Wild Orange

• 5 Drops Lavendar

• 4 Drops Balance

Peaceful Bliss

I instantly feel a sense of peace and calm with this blend. "Peaceful Bliss" is perfect after a long day of working and running around. I like to diffuse this blend at the end of a long day, usually in the evening after dinner. When the day is winding down and everyone is getting ready to settle in for the night, this is one of my favorite blends to fill my home. 

The "Peaceful Bliss" blend consists of:

• 5 Drops Lavender

• 3 Drops Wild Orange

Joyful Exuberance 

I know this name is a little much -but this vibrant blend makes me feel just this way! This blend produces so much energy, excitement and happiness. I usually diffuse this in the morning after breakfast and power through my day. If I feel like I'm slacking before diffusing "Joyful Exuberance", this sluggish feeling quickly diminishes after the aroma fills the room. 

"Joyful Exuberance" consists of:

• 5 Drops Wild Orange

• 5 Drops Grapefruit

• 4 Drops Cedarwood

Wild Orange is known for its mood boosting benefits and has a sweet citrus smell. Grapefruit provides an energizing and uplifting smell. -And while Cedarwood is known to promote relaxation, blending this EO with Grapefruit and Wild Orange allows for the perfect "Get It Done" atmosphere. 

Sound Sleep

If you cant tell by now, I'm really into EO blends that promote a good nights sleep. As a mommy of 3, I like to insure that my sleep is as beneficial as can be. This blend is so calming and grounding, it instantly places me into a state of restfulness once I run the diffuser. 

"Sound Sleep" consists of:

• 4 Drops Lavender

• 3 Drops Frankincense

• 3 Drops Wild Orange

Frankincense is a calming and grounding blend. When paired with Lavender and Wild Orange (which on its own is the ideal blend for calm nerves and relaxation) this blend is the perfect combination for a great nights sleep.

5 Best Spaces to Display Your Essential Oils

I am a firm believer in the healing powers of essential oils. I was first introduced to EOs (essential Oils) last year and since then I have been expanding my knowledge of these powerful health tools. As you can imagine, I’ve built quite a collection of EO’s and I quickly found myself looking for ways to store them. I wanted to make sure that whatever I used to store my oils would be aesthetically pleasing. That's when we (my hubs and I) decided to make our own version of an EO storage shelf. Now that we have this beautiful storage piece, I had to figure out the best place to hang it.

I decided to “share the wealth” and give you guys some examples of the best places to hang this beautiful storage shelf or any other similar storage shelf for your EOs.

Kitchen

I opted to hang my shelf in our kitchen. We have diffusers all over the house. So I do plan on adding more storage throughout. However, since this is our first EO shelf, I wanted to hang it in a place that was centrally located in the house and easy to access. Our kitchen was the best place for this. Since its being hung in the kitchen, I chose to place oils that I mostly use in the common living space and kitchen. Oils such as Oregano, Grapefruit, Lemon, Wild Orange and Eucalyptus.

Bedroom

An aesthetically pleasing EO shelf works double duty as a functional storage item and beautiful decor for the bedroom. A designated spot on the wall that is easy to access is the best place to hang your shelf. I suggest storing oils such as Lavender, Wild Orange, Frankincense, Balance and other calming blends since the bedroom is a place where you go to unwind at the end of a long day.

Foyer

The entrance way of your home should always be inviting. If you have a traditional foyer, this would be a beautiful place to hang your EO shelf. Hanging it above a foyer/entrance table would be ideal (especially if your diffuser is sitting pretty right underneath). I would store oils such as grapefruit, lemon, peppermint in spaces like these. These scents are invigorating and inviting.

Bathroom

The earthly, calming feel of this EO shelf would look beautiful in a bathroom. Just as any other room, this shelf acts as a beautiful decorative piece. Along with storing oils such as Purify (which reduces odors) and lavender, you can also use your EO shelf to display small succulent plants.

Sunroom

This EO shelf is certainly a part of nature. The reclaimed wood brings a calming element of outdoors into your home. Why not hang it in a place in your home where you can enjoy the beauty of nature from the best view of your home? A sunroom is a beautiful place to diffuse your EO’s. Storing them on this display shelf makes access to your oils an effortless process.
