Essential oils are a great tool to use for calming the nervous system, soothing digestive stress, and creating a lower-toxin home environment.
I use Simply Earth Essential Oils and have been really happy with the quality and variety of their oils.
I love that they make essential oils accessible without the traditional MLM model, so you aren’t paying inflated prices simply because of a multi-level marketing structure. They offer both individual oils and blends, as well as a subscription box that includes essential oils, recipes, and the supplies needed to make different DIY products. They also donate 13% of their proceeds to organizations working to end human trafficking.

My Favorites:
While it’s hard to narrow down favorites, as there are so many good ones and seasons affect which ones I’m using, below are a few that are used most.
- Tranquility: one of my favorite blends to support relaxation
- Sleepy: diffuse at bedtime, it smells so yummy
- Peppermint: I am a HUGE mint lover! I love blending this with Defender for an immune blend or rubbing it on my temples/under the nose for a “brain reboot”.
- Citrus Burst: so fresh and clean! I diffuse it while cleaning. It’s also one of my favorite blends to diffuse with peppermint & rosemary.
- Spearmint: am obsessed with anything spearmint so just diffuse this on repeat with peppermint
- Head Roller: while you can get this in an oil blend, they also have a pre-made roller that is great for rubbing on your neck/shoulders for tension headaches
How I Use Essential Oils in My Daily Routine
- Diffusing a sleep blend as part of my bedtime routine
- Using refreshing citrus or mint oils during the day for an uplifting scent in my home & office
- Choosing essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances when possible (they have a Perfume Kit which I use to make my own perfume and it is lovely!)
- Creating a calming environment during stressful days
- In the car-they have a car diffuser vent clip & I like to add a calming blend to it
If you’re someone who loves DIY…
Simply Earth has a monthly recipe box subscription that is so much fun! Basically, each month has a different theme, and they provide the essential oils, recipes, and supplies you need to make products related to that theme. Ex: beeswax candles for candle month, bath soak for spa month. You get FOUR oils each month plus the supplies to make the products. It really is so fun! I saved a few of my monthly boxes and brought them out during a family get-together and we had a blast making the products together!
Final thoughts…
Another thing I’ve really loved about Simply Earth is the incredible resources they have for you! From recipes and blogs to the amazing essential oil course they’ve created where you can even learn the “sciencey” stuff behind how to make blends. The course is free with a recipe box subscription, but you can also purchase it alone as well. Highly recommend it!
