Some days in the preschool classroom are more difficult than others. I work with a special needs population, which includes children with a variety of needs. I do truly love my job, especially the adorable little kids and my amazing co-workers. Some days are just tougher than others.
Today was one of the tough days. We just returned from a week-long spring break, and the children were wild! I felt like no one was listening and everyone was yelling. My throat was sore from raising my voice and my feeling of frustration were at a high. I needed something to calm me down.

On those particularly stressful days, I reach for my YLEO Stress Away blend, to which I have conveniently added a roller ball fitting. I keep this oil in my purse (at.all.times.) and when I feel myself becoming frustrated/annoyed/cranky/anxious, I reach for this one. I apply a small amount to my wrists and rub together, and may also add some to the back of my neck as well. The delicious blend of scents (including Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender) is amazing and is so calming. A few sniffs of my wrists and a few deep breaths makes all the difference.
I even busted it out at the grocery store the other day to combat annoyance at the ridiculously long line!! It sure didn't make the long line shorter (or another cashier pop up), but I felt better, decided to be patient, and picked up a copy of People to bide my time :)
