I like bergamot, clary sage and Roman chamomile for calming. Ylang ylang is nice, but it is very strong and gives me a headache.
Peppermint oil is energizing and is supposed to help with workouts: https://breakingmuscle.com/healthy-e...nt-on-exercise *All essential oils need to be diluted in a carrier oil before putting on to the skin.* More about essential oils and cats: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ar...onous-to-cats/ .

I only use oils in roller bottles prepared for skin application.
Usually, I massage the oil onto the soles of my feet then breathe in whatever remains on my hands. Aldi recently had a great set of blends for sleep, chilling, energy and pain relief which were much cheaper than what I had ordered from an online store: https://www.vitalityextracts.com/ I usually ordered with a discount code and enough bottles to get free shipping. If I had to choose just one, it would be their Inner Peace: https://www.vitalityextracts.com/col...-peace-roll-on

With all due respect to everyone's budgets, buying the cheapest essential oils is not always the best way to go. They are often highly diluted at best or downright fake at worst. I also don't think much of the big companies (Young Living, etc.) that tout essential oils as the cure-all for everything.
I buy my oils from companies that specialize in the best quality oils. One that I have used often is Eden Botanicals: https://www.edenbotanicals.com/ They sell tiny vial sample sizes of almost all of their oils. Also, they have sample sets. With the good stuff, you only need a drop or two in carrier oil. Just my .02.
