Sunshine in a Bottle: My Experience with doTERRA Sunny Citrus Essential Oils

July 5, 2024

Hey there, lovely readers!

Today, I’m excited to share something that’s been adding a burst of sunshine to my days—doTERRA’s Sunny Citrus Essential Oils. If you’re anything like me, juggling mom duties, work, and trying to carve out a little "me time" can sometimes leave you feeling a bit frazzled. So, finding simple joys that brighten your day is always a win, right? Well, let me tell you, these oils are like a little bottle of happiness! 🌞

A Ray of Sunshine in Your Home

Let’s dive right in. Imagine waking up to a kitchen that smells like you’re standing in a grove of fresh oranges, grapefruits, and limes. That’s what doTERRA’s Sunny Citrus blend does for me. It’s a delightful mix of Wild Orange, Grapefruit, and Peppermint essential oils, and it’s become my go-to for a quick pick-me-up around the house.

When I first opened the bottle, I was greeted with a zesty, invigorating scent that instantly lifted my spirits. I knew this was going to be something special. Here’s how I’ve been incorporating it into my daily routine:

Morning Boost

Mornings in our house can be a whirlwind of getting kids ready, packing lunches, and making sure everyone has their shoes on the right feet. To set a positive tone for the day, I add a few drops of Sunny Citrus to our diffuser while I make breakfast. The bright, citrusy aroma fills the kitchen, and it feels like I’m bringing a little bit of sunshine inside, even on the cloudiest days.

I’ve also started adding a drop or two to my morning shower. Just a couple of drops on the shower floor transform my bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary, giving me that extra boost of energy and a moment of calm before the chaos of the day begins.

Cleaning Companion

As a mom, I’m always on the lookout for ways to make chores more enjoyable, or at least less of a chore. Sunny Citrus has become a little secret weapon in my cleaning routine. I add a few drops to a spray bottle with water, and voilà! I have a natural, fragrant cleaner that makes wiping down countertops and cleaning up spills a bit more pleasant. Plus, the kids love the fresh scent too, which is a bonus when trying to get them to help with chores!

Midday Mood Lifter

Afternoons can sometimes drag, especially if you’re dealing with the post-lunch slump. When I need a quick refresher, I reach for my Sunny Citrus oil. A drop or two on a cotton ball tucked into my desk drawer, or a quick sniff directly from the bottle, and I’m feeling more alert and ready to tackle my to-do list. It’s become a little ritual that helps me recharge without reaching for another cup of coffee.

Crafting Cozy Evenings

By the time evening rolls around, the day’s activities can leave the house feeling a bit stuffy. I love diffusing Sunny Citrus in the living room as we wind down for the evening. Its cheerful aroma creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for family time, whether we’re playing games, watching a movie, or just chatting about our day. It’s a subtle way to refresh the space and keep our spirits high as we relax together.

Travel Buddy

We recently went on a family road trip, and I brought my Sunny Citrus oil along. It was a game-changer for keeping the car smelling fresh and cheerful during those long drives. I put a few drops on a car diffuser clip, and it kept everyone in good spirits, even during those inevitable “Are we there yet?” moments.

Final Thoughts

Incorporating doTERRA Sunny Citrus Essential Oils into my daily routine has been a delightful way to add a splash of joy and energy to my life. It’s these little moments of brightness that make a big difference in my day. Whether you’re new to essential oils or a seasoned user, I hope you’ll find as much happiness in Sunny Citrus as I have.

Here’s to finding sunshine in the small things and adding a bit of citrusy cheer to your everyday routine!
