This time of year many of us are traveling to visit family and friends for the holidays. Wouldn't it be nice to have some natural essential oil rollers and spray in your bag for sleep, energy, tummy troubles, windy roads, anxious feelings or to help manage cravings? Read on below for some easy to make recipes for your traveling comforts.

To sleep or not to sleep?

When going on vacation it can be difficult to get a good night's rest when sleeping in other places besides your own bed. Other ties you are trying to keep up with the crowd and stay awake until the wee hours of the morning. Or maybe you have that long drive to make and need something to keep you awake and alert. Learn how to make a Sleep Well Linen Spray or a Stay Awake Energizing Roller below:

Sleep Well Linen Spray

1 TBS Witch Hazel

5 drops Serenity Restful Blend

Combine in a 2oz. spray bottle. Fill with water and shake well. Spray lightly on liens and pillow for a good night's rest.

Stay Awake Energizing Roller

5 drops peppermint

5 drops wild orange

Combine oils into a 5ml roller bottle and fill the remainder with FCO. Apply to pulse points and behind neck as needed.

Food, food and more food!

Let's face it. Some of us have sensitive stomachs when we are eating "travel" food especially when making pit stops at fast food restaurants en-route. Or we eat too much of the wrong kind of food and our bellies let us know. Learn how to make a Tummy Tamer Roller Blend below. Your tummy will thank you... and so will everyone else!
