Top 10 Rollerball Blends for Peace, Love, & Happiness
/Essential oils are scientifically proven to calm, soothe, and relieve anxious thoughts. They can also support deep sleep, relaxation, and lift feelings of overwhelm and stress. I KNOW that we all need a little bit of help in all of those areas!
So today...I'm going to tell you all about my 10 favorite blends for peace, love, and happiness! But first...let's find out why rollerballs are so awesome.
There are 5 things that happen when you make and use essential oil rollerballs:
1. Your oils last longer.
You can create endless amounts of rollerballs with one bottle of oil. This is a great way to have one in your purse, one in the bathroom, one in the kitchen...you get the idea!
2. Your oils are super effective.
Using oils "neat" or straight out of the bottle is effective, but not always the most desirable way to apply oils. Diluting your oils with a carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil, jojoba, etc.) actually keeps them on your skin longer and decreases the evaporation rate.
3. Your friends are happy.
I LOVE giving rollerball blends as gifts! If someone has never used oils before, rollerballs demystify the process. Roll here, roll here, roll here. Easy peasy. They might think they are just smelling good...but the emotional and health benefits are endless!
4. Your life gets easier.
Rollerballs make everything with oils easier. Put them in your bag and you're out the door. No messy oils on your hands while you're out and about and need a quick application. When your kiddos need oils NOW, you don't want to be opening 3-4 bottles of oil to apply. Rollerballs to the rescue!
5. Your family is empowered.
I love rollerballs because they are highly diluted and very safe for kids. My girls (ages 3, 6, and 11) all have their own rollerballs that they carry with them. They use them for emotional support throughout the day...and when they feel themselves getting angry or upset, they know to reach for their oils. This helps them become very aware of their feelings and how their needs shift during the day. I love that they are empowered to take action on their own. They also each have their own rollers for bedtime.
Don't forget that all of these recipes also work perfectly in a diffuser (which is the perfect compliment to topical use for emotional support! Just use about half of the amount recommended.
**All recipes are for created for 10ml rollerballs. Add the oils and then top rollerball off with fractionated coconut oil. Creating rollerballs is like creating the perfect entree or cocktail...each person will do it a little differently. Use these as starting points and find your perfect custom blend!**
Let It Go Blend

This is my girls' favorite blend...it was named after our favorite Disney movie! They use it primarily for meltdown mode.
