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 love to diffuse lavender in the evening to relax while I knit.
I snuggle up and get comfortable and listen to Blue Gold by Stephen Fry
I snuggle up get comfortable and listen to Stephen Fry / Blue Lagoon
I try to shut down mobile devices and take a warm shower and then follow up with Doterra Frankincense and Lavender on my feet and chest.
I open my bedroom window for fresh air, read a chapter in a good book and before I know it I am asleep. We also have lavender planted in our garden to enjoy all spring and summer.
I turn out the lights in my computer/reading room, snuggle up in my oversized cushy chair, put my headphones on, close my eyes & listen to a CD of ocean waves & thunder. It always relaxes me & soothes my soul.
Long slow deep breathes and pictures in my mind of the sound of gentle waves lapping on a hot tropical beach.
A warm bath & either rainstorm or ocean sounds on my Relax & Sleep app.
I would love to try the lavender oil. I have the Breathe.

I like to turn off all screen devices about 30 minutes before I get in bed. Then to relax I read and/or meditate focusing on my breathing.
