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.

Laying in bed with my IPad and reading a good book.
I like to relax by taking a nice bubble bath. I would love to try the lavender oil to help me sleep better.
Wine & a good book!
I have my green glass globe Victorian lamp next to the bed and always keep it on a little while as a calm glow. I like to lean against an arm pillow I’ve had for years (one with back and arms) to read or rest. Air movement from a ceiling fan or the air conditioner help as well. Always talking with my husband quietly is a real blessing.
Lavender is my favorite essential oil. I use more than I should in my diffuser when I get in bed. TV and smartphone off by 9 P.M. I also apply a few drops on my pillow. My lovely niece who has bravely battled MS for many years is the one who shared the benefits of essential oils. I’d love to receive a bottle for her.
I like to write my ” to do ” list for the next day. It helps me wake up with a plan already set for the day.
i like to read in bed and i always have a lavendar candle burning for about 1/2 hour before i turn the lights off
I love doTerra essential oils. And Lavender is one of my very favorites because it can be used in so many ways. When I am stressed, I diffuse it to relax at night. I also use it on my dog when she is afraid during thunder storms or fireworks. I also take it with me when I travel to put on the pillow case at the hotel to help me get a good nights sleep. I have put it in my bath water to enjoy a relaxing bath. So when I want to relax, I will often go to lavender – rubbing it on my neck and listening to music, reading a book, or knitting.
I get the deepest, most restful sleep when I have had a good workout sometime that day. I also turn off electronics, do some stretching and read a good book. (no work reading)
I like to read articles or a book. It takes my mind off the events of the day and helps me relax.
