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.
This video shows how to use lavender when going to sleep…

I quit drinking early in the evening so I don’t get up through the night. Sometimes I read or crochet to help relax my mind. I have a lavender and vanilla air freshener in my bedroom.
I use lavender every night before bed – I have a roll on – however, I have not tried it on the bottom of my feet. Will do that tonight!
It is my favorite way to relax before bed.
Thanks for the kind offer!
I have a hard time falling asleep so I have tried about everything. I have taken unisom a lot and have recently tried to get out if that habit! I try deep breathing as calming thoughts, but I think he la end at oil would be something great to try!
Thank you!!
I unwind before bed with a warm bath with lavender oil in the water. It helps relax me and get me in the mood for bed
I LOVE lavender. A couple months ago we took a day trip to Loess Hills area of Iowa were a couple started a lavender field. (Not like where you are!!) It’s just getting going, but it was very relaxing to visit. I bought a lavender mist for the bathroom. To get a good night’s sleep I like to read.
I like to read in bed to relax before I fall asleep.
i have had sleep issues since i developed diabetes 20 years ago. i never sleep more than 4 hours a night and that short time is interrupted 2 or 3 times. i have tried everything. i do get some relief now that i am taking melantonin i only wake up once but still never get uninterrupted sleep. i have never tried oils because i also have severe allergies and anything scented even lightly gives me sinus pain and headaches (another issue i deal with is chronic pain from fibromyalgia and sinus and migraine headaches. I actually don’t want the free oil because i couldn’t use it anyway it is just nice to share my issues with someone who won’t groan because they have heard it before.
Warm bath with candles, then a good book with lavender in my feet!
I wear a sleep mask to shut out all light. I use a mild fragranced lotion on my hands and arms. Then I say my prayers and I’m asleep in no time.
