When my husband and I got married, we had a couple of friends that were sweet enough to gift us some doTERRA petal diffusers. I had always wanted to get into essential oils but had been struggling with where to start - which oils to buy, what diffuser to get, what blends I wanted, and which essential oils would benefit me personally. I was feeling so overwhelmed with all these options, but when we were gifted some essential oils and diffusers, it was like I finally had my starting point without having to make a bunch of decisions. I had heard of both doTERRA and Young Living essential oils but I decided to go with doTERRA because that was what all of my friends and family used, and the brand that I just personally felt was best for my family. Naturally, when I first got my oils and my diffusers, I was absolutely obsessed. I had about six or seven oils when I first started using doTERRA, and so I was able to create a couple of different blends with those oils to get me started. However, shortly after, my husband and I were able to purchase a bunch more oils and really start our doTERRA journey. My personal favorite way to use essential oils is in my diffuser, because I love the way they make my house smell and my husband and I love the way they make us feel when they're wafting through the air.
When I got more and more of my oils, I started a Pinterest diffuser blend binge search. I took Pinterest by storm and started pinning all sorts of different blends that I thought my husband and I would like. So, I thought I would share with you my favorite, ultimate list of diffuser blends that my husband David and I adore - only a couple of these are blends that I personally made up, but the rest are Pinterest finds. These blends smell amazing, make you feel great, and just make your day run smoothly and effortlessly.

These are just a few of my favorite essential oil blends and they help David and I in so many ways. The Rise and Shine blend help gets us up and around in the mornings, the Fresh Laundry blend always makes our house smell so clean, and the Happy Dreams blend helps us sleep calmly through the night. There are some oils that are amazing by themselves, such as Citrus Bliss (which is my husband's absolute favorite oil EVER) or Breathe (which was the only thing that kept us going this last summer with all of the smoke from the fires in California). Frankincense is also a really great oil, especially if you suffer from any sort of chronic pain or illness like I do. I hope you enjoy these blends as much as we do!
If you have any questions about essential oils or their uses, please feel to comment or message me and I'll try to answer them. Oils are so much fun and they honestly have helped my husband and I so much - in fact, Peppermint is the only thing that can help him when he feels nauseous or has a stomach bug! Try out some of these diffuser blends and tell me which ones you liked best and which ones helped your mood throughout the day.
