Hi hi, friends!! I’m Emily Recker, a wildflower mama loving life on the coast of NC alongside my preacher-man husband and our four kiddos (including 3 boys–a precocious 5 year old, 2 year old, rowdy twins, & a beautiful teenage foster daughter).
Our house is constantly full of plants and people, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve been oiling up since I first became a mom and am honored and excited to share some of my favorite blends with you! You’ll notice many of these blends focus on emotional support—which was one of the best surprises I found when I started using my oils consistently.
I’m in love with these rollers from the Crystal Collection, and maybe it’s just me, but I find I’m WAY more likely to reach for my oils consistently when they’re showcased in these beauties!
First up, I’m an enneagram seven, so I *need* to start the day with happy vibes. I roll this blend over my heart, behind my ears, and down the back of my neck, then inhale and exhale a few times to calm my mind.
Be Happy
- 10 drops Frankincense
- 10 drops Joy, YL blend
- 10 drops Orange
A sweet friend recommended this blend to me, and I’ve never turned back! I wear it as perfume most days, but the truth is…it’s more than just a yummy scent. It’s earthy and grounding, and I apply on my collarbone and wrists (multiple times a dayyyy).
Dirty Hippie Perfume
- 10 drops Cedarwood
- 10 drops Frankincense
- 10 drops Patchouli
Next up is the blend I reach for when I sit down to work—my brain gets squirrely (enneagram 7 vibes), so I take time to grab this roller, roll it on my wrists, collarbone, and the inside of my palms, then cover my nose with my hands and inhale. All of these oils support a calm, focused brain, so yah…here for it!
Get Ish Done
- 10 drops Frankincense
- 10 drops Cedarwood
- 10 drops Lavender
- 5 drops Vetiver
I keep this blend in my handbag for date night—a buddy of mine discovered this as a diffuser blend, and I became so obsessed that I decided it NEEDED to be a perfume blend as well.
West Elm Perfume Blend
- 10 drops Davana, YL blend
- 10 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce, YL blend
- 10 drops Grapefruit
Before bed, I roll the Angel Warrior blend on my shoulders to support feelings of safety, then roll the sweet dreams roller on the bottoms of my feet, across my collarbone, down the back of my neck, and on my forearms, and I’m off to dreamland!
Angel Warrior
- 15 drops Valor, YL blend
- 15 drops White Angelica, YL blend
Sweet Dreams
- 10 drops Dream Catcher, YL blend
- 10 drops Stress Away, YL blend
- 10 drops Lavender, YL blend
