The winners of the doTERRA Lavender Essential Oil (affiliate link) are:
Melissa W. – “I start winding down about an hour before bedtime (which we keep at the same time every night if possible) turning off the TV and putting away all electronic devices. We turn on soft music while we wrap up the evening, Once In bed we turn on a fan for white noise, we journal out last few thoughts … then meditation closes out the night. Kind of a production, but very effective.”
Nancy N. – “I like to sit calmly for about 5 min. Would love to try this on my pillow. Love lavender!”
Michelle D. – “On Friday or Saturday night, when my kids can stay up a little bit longer, we snuggle together in our comfy recliner. Sunday through Thursday, I read to the kids for 30 minutes and talk about what we liked best about that day. After that, then I complete my bedtime rituals with calming yoga stretches and/or a bubble bath, with the lights dimmed low. I’m usually asleep within 10 minutes. ?”
Congratulations, winners!

Why I Love doTERRA’s Lavender Essential Oil
Today, because I’m fortunate to be vacationing in Provence, the heart of lavender country, I’m giving away three (3) bottles of doTERRRA lavender essential oil (affiliate link).
I love, love, love doTERRA essential oils and lavender is one of my favorites.
Lavender is often considered a must-have oil to keep on hand at all times due to its versatile uses, including calming and relaxing properties that promote peaceful sleep and ease feelings of tension.*
I keep a bottle in the bathroom, in the bedroom and in the kitchen – to use in the bath, on my feet before bed and on my skin whenever I cut or burn myself in the kitchen!
Lavender Essential Oil Benefits
Lavender is known for it’s calming and relaxing qualities, so try adding a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil to your pillows, bedding or bottoms of your feet for a restful night’s sleep.

Lavender Essential Oil Description
Lavender has been used and cherished for centuries for its unmistakable aroma and myriad benefits. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume.
Its calming and relaxing qualities continue to be Lavender’s most notable attributes.
Applied topically, Lavender is frequently used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections.
Add to your bath water to soak away stress or apply to your temples and the back of your neck.
You can also add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet to relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.
Because of its versatile properties, I consider Lavender the must-have oil to have on hand at all times.

I like to relax with a warm bath smelling of lavender, then lay in bed abd look through magazines until I get sleepy.
Reading before lying down to sleep relaxes me!
A cup of tea and melatonin works for me. I will have to try putting lavender on my pillow. I bet the smell would help me fall asleep faster when I awake in the middle of the night.
I have a cup of hot herbal tea
A cup of tea, reading ,and avoiding the news programs
Oh I so agree on not watching tv right before bed. Especially the news.
I like to take a bath with Epsom salts and calming oils.
I like to read an enjoyable, easy book for a bit before easily falling asleep
I like to spray a lavendar mist on my pillow before going to bed. It helps me relax and drift off to sleep
Warm epsom salts bath and a large mug of chamomile tea for me.
I take an over the counter sleep aid. It seems to work very well. I fall asleep and stay asleep and that is important to me. I work full time and I get up at 5:;30 AM. It is essential that I get a good nights sleep. I do not function very well without enough sleep. I love Lavender, and would like to receive this gift.
Thanks.
I try to get to bed early…I would love to try this!
I like to read in quiet room before bed, usually does the trick!
I begin by going to the beach and watching the sun go down….. and the moon rise…. peaceful way to end my day.
I tun my cell phone to silent at 8:00pm…start a warm bubble bath, and fix a cup of camomile tea….close my eyes and do deep breathing and try to push away all the stress of the day…no interruptions and take that time for myself…it relaxes me enough to where I get a good night’s sleep..no sleeping pills! Just the natural way!
I like to end my day with a half hour or so of reading a good book. Occasionally after a really tough day, a few sips of wine or bailys helps to lull me off to sleep.
I like to take a hot shower and then use baby powder before I climb into bed – windows open and fan blowing!
I like to relax by reading for a while before going to bed.
Eat early so plenty of time for food digestion then sleep is so much better.
I read a good book & rub lotion on my legs & arms. Lavender is on of my favorite scents. I have the glade lavender warmer in my bedroom.
