According to healthline.com, essential oils such as lavender have been known to be a soothing solution for the evenings, but what about something that makes scents to kick-start your busy mornings? doTERRA offers some suggestions.
“Upon waking, turn on your diffuser for a fragrance that’s sure to perk you up and get you excited about your day,” doTERRA recommends. In a YouTube video, the brand suggests, “Try diffusing Black Pepper, Ginger, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Clove for a warming combination. Try diffusing citrus oils like Grapefruit or Tangerine.”
Other oils doTERRA.com recommends for the morning include Wild Orange for a “refreshing, uplifting aroma,” Frankincense for comfort and the grounding doTERRA Balance Oil Blend for “promoting harmony and tranquility in your environment.”
Your 5-Minute Morning Sanctuary
Start with doTERRA’s Wild Orange oil. Place three drops in your diffuser while getting dressed. The bright, uplifting aroma is thought to jolt motivation.
Next, reach for Peppermint oil. A quick inhale from the bottle awakens your senses — a better option than hitting the snooze button. Rub a diluted drop between your palms, cup them over your nose, and breathe deeply. The cool, invigorating scent can give you a wintery, fresh boost when you need it most.
Create an energizing shower experience by placing three drops of Eucalyptus oil on your shower floor (away from direct water flow). The steam will disperse the revitalizing aroma throughout your bathroom. Or you can whip up your own doTERRA Eucalyptus shower melt.
Eucalyptus essential oil shower melts transform an ordinary shower into a luxurious spa experience. The recipe requires simple household ingredients: cornstarch, distilled water, and Eucalyptus essential oil.
Start by mixing 1 cup of cornstarch and 5 to 10 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil in a bowl until the mixture resembles crumbly powder. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of distilled water while mixing, allowing clumps to form. The mixture will need additional drops of water until it reaches a thick paste consistency. The paste can then be transferred to a mini ice cube tray and smoothed flat.
Freeze the shower melts for an hour or until completely set, then place a single melt on the shower floor. Running water will dissolve the cube, releasing refreshing Eucalyptus aromatherapy throughout the space. Storage options are flexible — store the set melts in a jar kept in a cool, dry place. If the melts are a bit runny, store them in the freezer — and use less water next time.
Bring More Power to Your Shower
If you’re not a DIY person and want a ready-to-go sanctuary shower moment, you can achieve that with doTERRA’s spa Refreshing Body Wash. This luxurious gel cleanser, infused with pure Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Cedarwood essential oils, delivers the most divine experience imaginable.
The silky formula glides across the skin like liquid satin, creating the dreamiest cloud of lather.
Store your morning oils in a dedicated spot on your nightstand or bathroom counter. This visual reminder helps cement the habit. Consider setting up your diffuser on a smart plug, programming it to start diffusing your chosen blend five minutes before your alarm rings.
And while you’re at it, why not set an intention for the day? “Setting an intention each morning before work can help you better align your actions with your values, stay focused on your priorities, and, most importantly, get excited about the day ahead, instead of dwelling on every task you need to complete that day,” psychologist Jessica Jackson told CNBC.
Transform your chaotic mornings into moments of intentional peace with rituals that incorporate doTERRA essential oils. By dedicating five minutes to this ritual, you’re investing in your mental clarity, emotional balance, and a moment of zen. Remember, small, consistent actions can create powerful changes. Your future self will thank you for starting today.
Invigorate Your Senses With doTERRA Pink Pepper Bath Bombs
Discover the perfect harmony of citrus and spice with Confetti Bath Bombs, featuring the bright, lively aromas of Citrus Bloom and Pink Pepper essential oils. This unexpected yet delightful pairing creates a multisensory bath experience that combines the best of citrus, spice, and floral elements. To create these luxurious bath bombs, you’ll need 1 cup each of citric acid and baking soda, 1/2 cup each of cornstarch and doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil, 10 drops of Citrus Bloom and 4 drops of Pink Pepper essential oils, plus decorative baking sprinkles or rose petals and natural food coloring of your choice.
The creation process is wonderfully easy. Begin by combining the citric acid, baking soda, cornstarch, and Fractionated Coconut Oil in a large mixing bowl. Add the Citrus Bloom and Pink Pepper essential oils, then mix thoroughly until you achieve a soft dough with the consistency of slightly damp sand. The mixture should hold together when pressed — if it feels too wet, add small amounts of baking soda and cornstarch until you reach the perfect consistency. Next, incorporate your chosen natural food coloring, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
To assemble your bath bombs, first place your decorative elements (sprinkles or rose petals) into the base of a silicone mold, then pack the bath bomb mixture firmly on top. Allow your creations to dry completely for at least 24 hours before carefully removing them from the mold. To enjoy your handcrafted bath bomb, drop it into a filled bathtub and watch as it dissolves, releasing its uplifting aromas. For best results, store your finished bath bombs in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to use them.
