Who knew essential oils could do so much? There are so many blends out there that can help with different things such as nausea, concentration, sore muscles, headaches, sniffles, and so on!
I am happy to say Young Living essential oils have taken over my household and I am obsessed.
When I first started my oily journey I wasn’t sure where to begin. At first, I thought essential oils were only used for a diffuser but I couldn’t have been more wrong.
My friend Allyson taught me that there are so many essential oil blends that can be created for roller bottles, sprays, diffusers, cleaners and so much more.
After I got my starter kit, I tried different blends for my diffuser and the smells were amazing!
So, the next steps for me were to try rollers.
I ordered some really cute gold-topped glass rollers from Amazon and decided on three different essential oil roller blends to try. An Immunity Blend, an Allergy Blend, and a Sleepy Time Blend.

First, take a glass roller (get the gold-topped one, it’s so cute) and then put your drops of essential oils in.
Next, fill the rest of the roller with the carrier oil of your choice. A carrier oil helps dilute the oils and “carries” them onto your skin. Some great carrier oils include jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and fractionated coconut oil (a liquid form of coconut oil). I got my fractionated coconut oil from iHerb.

Check out my first three essential oil roller blends below.
Immunity Blend (10ml roller)
- 10 drops thieves // 10 drops lemon
- fill the rest with a carrier oil
I use this roller on my kids daily as it helps support the immune system.
Roll this on your child’s spine and bottoms of feet before they head off to school. Say bye-bye to runny noses and sniffles!
Allergy Blend (10ml roller)
- 5 drops peppermint // 5 drops lavender // 5 drops lemon
- fill the rest with a carrier oil
Since Spring has finally shown up, the allergy roller was a must-have in our house. Roll this on your chests, behind ears and bottom of your feet.
Sleepy Time Blend (10ml roller)
- 10 drops lavender // 10 drops stress away
- fill the rest with a carrier oil
This is a big one for our household. Rosie would stay awake until 11 pm if we let her, so we start to go through our nightly “calming down” routine after bathtime. Now, we include this roller about 30 minutes before bedtime and apply it to the bottoms of her feet and back of her spine.
PLEASE NOTE: I diluted these rollers for the kids. It is better to start out with less essential oils and work your way up!
Why Essential Oils?
Was I skeptical of essential oils at first? Of course!
However, I started with essential oils after following my friend Allyson on her journey. After watching her IG stories on all of the benefits these oils bring, I knew this was something I had to try.
Besides, who knew that all of the household cleaners that are supposed to help clean your house are actually harming you with their awful chemicals and carcinogens?
YUCK.
Not all oils are created equal! Which brings us to the next question about which oil brand I decided to go with.
What’s So Great About Young Living Essential Oils?
“NOT SO FUN” FACT: A company can say that their essential oils are 100% pure even though it may only contain 5% of pure essential oils. So, their oils can be full of fillers and other yucky stuff.
Uhh, what?!
Which brings me to Young Living.
Young Living has been in business for over 20 years and is known for its Seed to Seal promise.
This promise” includes selecting the highest quality of seeds, cultivating the highest quality aromatic plants, distilling to ensure that the beneficial plant compounds in each batch of essential oil remain uncompromised, testing to ensure the oils meet demanding specifications, and carefully sealing and inspecting each bottle of essential oil.”
That’s pretty amazing, right?
Not only does Young Living have essential oils but they also have household cleaners, a makeup line, personal care products and more.
I am proud to say that I have fully emersed myself into essential oils and am slowly learning more about the cleaning products. In the long run, I hope to make a full transition over to a non-toxic lifestyle for me and my family.

I only have a 5ml bottle and I just did the 10/10 of lavender/stress away. I haven’t added the coconut oil yet. Will that be an ok dilution? I’m new to applying on my skin. Will that be okay
I would definitely test it out, just in case there is sensitivity!
Hi. How old are your kids? I have 3 yrs old and 13 yrs old. Are the recipes good for both age?
Mine are 3 and 5! This works great 🙂
