Sun Kissed Diffuser Blend
This Sun Kissed Essential Oil Diffuser Blend is one of my favorites to help capture that joyful feeling of being warmed by the sun. It's a blend of bright, uplifting essential oils that will remind you of sunny days spent outdoors with friends and family.
Plus, it's perfect for diffusing while you're working or studying to help keep you motivated and focused. Enjoy!
- 2 drops Grapefruit essential oil (Citrus paradisi)
- 2 drops Juniper Berry essential oil (Juniperus communis)
- 2 drops Sweet Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)
Add drops to diffuser with recommended water and enjoy! Keep diffusers away from cats, and make sure dogs can leave the room. If you are pregnant, check with your doctor before using juniper berry.
Don't have a diffuser? You could also use this blend on an aromatherapy inhaler. Add 5 drops grapefruit, 5 drops juniper berry, and 5 drops of orange. Just keep near your computer or in your purse when you need a cheerful boost. For kids 6+, cut the recipe in half.

Safety Guidelines for Using Essential Oils
Diffuse 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time, read more about how long to diffuse oils.
It is best not to apply undiluted essential oils onto the skin. When using essential oils topically on the skin, be sure to dilute with a carrier oil like jojoba oil or sweet almond oil. Cold-pressed grapefruit can cause sun sensitivity on skin.
Using essential oils can improve a person’s emotional, physical, and mental state. For best results, make sure you use pure essential oils and learn how to use them properly.
People can have different responses to essential oils, you may find what works for one person, doesn't work for you. See my kid-safe essential oils list before using oils around children.
