The "Love Day" Blend

My husband isn’t really into romance. By that I mean, he’s not good at secrets, he doesn’t really do random dates or gifts, and spontaneity is seriously lacking unless it’s adding a bag of beef jerky to the grocery cart or going out for tacos. So, I decided I was going to be extra sweet this Valentine’s Day by making up my own “Love Blend” in my diffuser.

Now, you have to be pretty sparing with Ylang Ylang around me. I find it smells an awful lot like urinal cakes, and it’s a very potent flower. I’m new to using Bergamot, but I loved the scent straight from the bottle. So, I put 4 drops Bergamot, and 2 drops Ylang Ylang into my diffuser and INSTANTLY there was a significant emotional change in my home. The air was lighter, the mood was fuzzy and warm feeling.

My husband really loves Ylang Ylang, so this blend suited both of us very happily. He said it wasn’t overpowering, and not too subtle. I loved every drop of that blend that I would use it again in a heartbeat. I felt that it perfectly suited the mood of Valentine’s Day.

Bergamot is absolutely perfect for Confidence and Calming and it very uplifting. Ylang Ylang is very balancing and romantic. I would even use this blend with friends and family in the house if we were going for a cozy cottage feel. The oils together made me feel like I was melting into the couch when relaxing with my husband that evening. The sweet and robust scent made it difficult to feel easily irritated – which was good because we ordered out and waited over an hour for dinner to arrive.

I highly recommend trying this blend out if you love flowers, or you are in a lovey-dovey mood. Also, if you feel you need emotional support, this would be a great blend to relax with and center yourself.
