Winter Essential Oil Blends
Winter is here and it’s time to get in the mood for the holiday season. Having certain smells reminds you of times spent with family and friends, whether it’s the scent of a fresh tree in the living room, peppermint candy canes, or gingerbread ready to be made into houses.
The best way to recreate these aromas is by diffusing essential oils so they can float through your home or office and be a constant reminder of joyous occasions that will get you right in the spirit of the season.
But how do you recreate those scents? We’ve put together a list of winter essential oil blends that will be sure to get you in the mood this holiday season.
Which Brand of Essential Oils Should I Buy?
There are a number of factors that you should consider when choosing a brand of essential oils. Although it doesn’t matter which brand you choose, here are some things to consider when making your decision:
● Purity - Essential oils should be derived from natural plants free from pesticides and other harmful substances that will make their way into your body via your nose, lungs and skin. Be careful, even “natural” fragrances can be made from sources that are not what they claim to be. If you have a cinnamon essential oil, make sure it’s actually made from cinnamon and not some other natural source that smells like cinnamon, but it is cheaper and easier to produce.
● Sustainability - Sustainable farming practices ensure that we can enjoy the plants that make these essential oils for generations to come. Think you have a cheap essential oil? Imagine how much more expensive it will be when there’s a shortage of the plant it’s made from due to a lack of farmland to grow it on in the future.
● Purpose - It’s important that you support a brand that cares, and not just about creating great essential oils. Choose a brand that empowers people to build healthy and thriving homes and families.
For these reasons I love Young Living Essential Oils. Their commitment to pure products, a healthy earth, healthy homes, and thriving lives is the gold standard for the industry. Feel free to choose your own brand of oils, however you can’t go wrong with Young Living.

How To Use These Winter Essential Oil Blends
There are 3 ways to use these essential oil blends: diffusion, topically, and direct smell.
To diffuse them, add water to a diffuser, like this Young Living Essential Oil Diffuser, add your winter essential oil blends, and you’re ready to fill the room with your favorite winter aromas.
Adding oils directly to your skin is another great option. You can carry these winter essential oil blends with you throughout the day, and they are typically less offensive than normal perfumes or colognes. You can dab them directly on your skin from the bottle, or use a roller tip applicator for lessy messy applications. *If putting directly on your skin, make sure you use a carrier oil where necessary!
Last but not least, you can mix these winter essential oil blends in a bottle and smell them directly from the bottle. This is a great option if you don’t have a diffuser and you don’t feel like putting them on your skin or clothing.
