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

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 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.

As I have tinnitus, I like to listen to something to help me fall asleep. That way I don't hear the ringin of the tinnitus in my ear. I usually watch TV on a low volume (nothing that would stimulate me enough to stay awake and watch) or I listen to soft music.
Lisa Tewsley
I usually try to unwind by watching my favorite cooking TV show!
