Recharge this season: The holiday period is a whirlwind of activity for many of us.

Between catching up with loved ones, attending festive gatherings, and embracing the spirit of the season, our schedules fill up quickly. While these can indeed be joyful times, they can also nudge us towards a sense of imbalance.

Luckily, Aromatherapy serves as a formidable ally in combating stress and fostering emotional equilibrium. The panoply of essential oils available can stimulate that serene, content state of mind that comes from the assurance that you've got everything under control.

Today, I'm excited to share an easy-to-carry holiday stress relief blend that proves to be not only effective but also a delightful addition to your daily essentials. Just roll it on your pulse points whenever you sense the tension building up.

Holiday Stress Relief

The magic of this blend is housed in a sleek glass roller-top bottle that accommodates approximately .35 oz (10 ml) of liquid. The compact size makes it a perfect fit for your pocket or handbag.

  • .35 fl oz (10 ml) Vanilla-infused Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis)

  • 2 drops Lavender Essential Oil (Lavandula angustifolia)

  • 2 drops Opopanax Essential Oil (Commiphora guidotti)

  • 2 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil (Citrus sinensis)

You can procure your roller-top bottle from Aromatics International. Fair warning though, their vibrant array of unique oils and creative containers might leave you with a rather hefty wish list!

To concoct your blend, decant your jojoba into your bottle (a mini funnel or dropper might come in handy for this), followed by each of your essential oils, drop by drop. Secure the roller top, twist on the lid, and give it a gentle shake.

Spotting stress before it strikes isn't always an intuitive task. But wouldn't it be wonderful if we could preemptively defuse it? This blend can be utilized throughout the day to maintain a stress-free state, or as a quick response tool when you sense the sudden onset of overwhelm. Simply glide it over your wrists and on the pulse points of your neck.

One delightful bonus? The fragrance of this blend is so captivating you can use it as a makeshift perfume.

Here's to a peaceful, aromatic holiday season! Enjoy!
