Sponsored Post: Calming Aromatherapy Blends For The Perfect Night-In and a Good Night’s Sleep

May 3, 2020 · 1 Comment

With social distancing becoming the new normal, your number of monthly nights-out is already down to zero. (Wandering around the block doesn’t count.)

Staying indoors all day and every day can make anyone go insane. Add to it the stress of working from home, meeting deadlines, feeding your family 3x a day and putting up with your kids’ shenanigans and it can seem like an insurmountable challenge.

Every day is a mess like that, but your nights can be peaceful. And they should be because a good night’s sleep is really important for you to cope with all the madness that’s quickly becoming considered the “new normal”.

However, when you have 101 tasks on your to-do list, it’s hard not to think about them, especially when you are trying to get some sleep. Frustrating, right?

There are many online sleep-inducing apps that claim to be highly effective, but it doesn’t make sense to seek comfort in technology when it’s causing discomfort in the first place.

One of the proven ways to get a good night’s sleep is to add some essential oils to your routine. An essential oil diffuser is the first thing you need on your bedside table. Once you have it in place, the next step is to bring out the essential oils and create your sleep-time blends.

 

Today we’ll go over some of the best essential oils and how you can create various blends to fill your room with soothing aromas that may help you calm your nerves and sleep like a baby.

  1. Bergamot

    Bergamot

Made from the Bergamot fruit extract, it is one of the most popular essential oils used in aromatherapy. Its delicate, citrusy fragrance accented with floral notes has a calming effect on the mind and body. Combining your bedtime routine with the right essential oil can help relax your mind, reduce involuntary muscle tension and lull you to sleep like 1.2.3…

  1. Vetivert

It has a rich, earthy scent which might seem unusual at first, but eventually, it will grow on you. Also, there’s always an option to mix it with other essential oils to fill your room with gentle aromas for your night-in.

  1. Frankincense

This essential oil works as a sedative – in a good way. It helps to balance your emotions, calm your mind and support natural healing. In case you are having 3 AM existential crisis or trying to win an argument in your head, this is one of the essential oils you will want to reach for.

  1. Lavender

    Lavender

All of us have used this essence in one form or the other, at least once in our lives. Lavender is known for supporting healthy sleep as well as its relaxing effect on all ages – babies through adults. Also, if you want to fragrance your room, Lavender is a better and safer alternative to synthetic room fresheners.

  1. Valerian

Thanks to its sweet, earthy aroma, Valerian essential oil is known to ease stress and occasional restlessness and promote healthy sleep. It’s a herb native to Asian and European countries and has been in use since time immemorial.

  1. Ylang Ylang

Ylang-Ylang Ingredient Definition on StyleChicks.com

Ylang-Ylang

This essential oil is believed to have aphrodisiac essence that helps to balance female and male energies and fill the room with tranquil aromas that’ll drift you off to dreamland. Perfect for a romantic night-in, what do you say?

  1. Clary Sage

Thanks to its cooling essence, this essential oil has commendable soothing effects and offers various skin benefits when used topically. Put a few drops of Clary Sage in your diffuser and let that calming effect be all over the place.

Clary Sage

  1. Patchouli

Made from patchouli leaf extracts, this essential oil not only creates a relaxing, sleep-inducing environment but also cleanses the air as an anti-bacterial agent. It can be used in a diffuser with other essential oils for a soothing aroma throughout the night.

 

 

Using these essential oils in blends can elevate the calming effect, and by using various permutations, you can have a new mix every day.

For now, here are five exotic blends that you can create by combining above-mentioned essential oils.

The Shut-Eye blend

What do you get when you mix one drop of Lavender with one drop of Valerian in your diffuser? A glorious night of stress-free sleep. This is one of the straightforward blends that create a calming effect and fill your room with a pleasant, soothing aroma.

The Tranquility blend

If you are having trouble sleeping because of your heightened brain activity, two drops of Frankincense, one drop of Vetiver and two drops of Bergamot in your diffuser will calm your emotions, and you’ll start to feel light and fall asleep in minutes.

The Beauty Sleep blend

When was the last time you had an uninterrupted sleep? Like ages ago, right? Two drops of Bergamot, one drop of Vetiver and one drop of Patchouli should do the trick for you. This mild concoction of essential oils will relax your muscles to prepare you for a good night’s sleep so that you wake up feeling fresh all day, every day.

The Lights-Out Blend

After watching your favorite Netflix show, it’s time to hit the bed. But you can’t stop anticipating the next episode. Mix Ylang Ylang and Clary Sage in equal proportions and top it off with sandalwood to create a soothing aroma. This blend balances emotions and relaxes your mind to help you sink into bed.

The Hit-The-Sack Blend

If your idea of a night-in involves extended screen time, it may affect your ability to drop off to sleep. A combination of Frankincense (two drops), Clary Sage (two drops), and Vetiver (one drop) will gently nudge you down the ‘sleepery’ slope. Turn on your diffuser 30 minutes before you are ready to drop.

 

Conclusion

There are immense benefits to using essential oils in your everyday life. Apart from being a great sleep-inducer, essential oils, when used in their recommended form, can help you cope with a variety of health issues, like anxiety, headaches and migraines and skin rashes to name a few.

Which blend are you going to try today?

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets

August 6, 2017 · Leave a Comment

 

Aromatherapy is a powerful way to impact the senses. Essential oils can calm or invigorate, uplift a mood or enhance mental clarity and concentration. Essentials Oils are easily enjoyed from home with the use of diffusers, but wouldn’t it be helpful to harness the power of essential oils when away from home such as at school, when traveling, exercising, or during the work day? Wish you could carry the benefits of essential oils with you wherever you go? You can with LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets.

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelet with genuine Gemstone and lava beads are beautiful, ethical and functional

ABOUT LOVEPRAY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER BRACELETS

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets are made with genuine gemstones and lava beads to diffuse the essential oils of your choice throughout the day.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Lava beads are porous and thereby retain and slowly diffuse any added essential oils. They last throughout the day without leaking or staining clothing or other jewelry. Get personal aromatherapy wherever you go from an attractive, intricate piece of jewelry.

Close up of the beautiful lava beads, love the natural purple and green peacock iridescence in the light!  The porous beads hold essential oils all day.  As seen here on the Rose Quartz bracelet.

Lava beads on the Dalmatian Jasper bracelet have a beautiful onyx textured finish and compliment the gemstone variegation, and the metals both secure and set off the colors and textures

APPEARANCE

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets are well made and are attractive pieces, each with a unique artisan style. They come in several highly versatile colors and varieties of gemstones to mix and match with your wardrobe. Gemstone choices include colorful and vibrant Onyx, Amethyst, Jasper, Tiger’s Eye, Amazonite, Rose Quartz, Mookalite, Sunstone, Rose Crystal, Howlite, and Damalatian Jasper (black and white spotted). The bracelets are versatile pieces that go with both casual and dressier outfits.

These LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets enable having a custom essential oil blend, or a natural, simple scent by providing the power of essential oils on the go.

ADVANTAGES OVER APPLYING A SCENT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIN

Oils applied directly to the skin can stain clothing and may cause an allergic reaction. You may also at times be in a scent-free zone, such as some work environments or doctors offices, so the ability to remove your diffusing bracelet as needed is a way to still wear a scent even if you must briefly be in a scent free environment. Lastly, the oils’ scent being diffused on the lava beads outlasts direct skin contact, diffusing just a drop or two of oil evenly throughout the day.

HOW TO INFUSE THE BRACELETS

Apply the essential oil or a blend of oils directly to the lava beads. I found the beads to hold the scent and have impressive essential oil diffusing properties for several hours. Only a drop or two is needed to last throughout the day. Once the scent dissipates, a different oil can be used the next day if desired.

Add a drop of the essential oil or oils of your choice to any lava bead for diffused essential oil benefits that last all day!

OUR EXPERIENCE WEARING LOVEPRAY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER BRACELETS & SOME OILS WE TRIED

Some ideas we found useful for using these bracelets include:

EXERCISE: Walking, Yoga, Pilates class

Grapefruit essential oil is both stimulating and uplifting. Don’t feel like going to the gym or can’t relax enough to concentrate on your form or to get a good stretch? Exercises such as Yoga, Pilates, and stretching are enhanced by the uplifting scent of Grapefruit Oil. Grapefruit also enhances concentration. BONUS: The scent of Grapefruit makes people perceive you as younger than you actually are.

SCHOOL OR LEARNING, TAKING AN EXAM

Peppermint Oil infused on the LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets is invigorating and aids with mental clarity. It’s beneficial when studying, or concentrating on a project or school exam. Studying at the library or learning a new skill? Try Rosemary essential oil on your bracelet. Diffusing Rosemary Oil can also be helpful, it is reputed to help students concentrate while doing their homework or learning.

Diffuse Peppermint for concentration, clarity and to repel bugs

A PRESENTATION, LOOMING DEADLINE OR OTHER NERVE-RACKING WORK EVENT

Rosemary Essential Oil is a calming oil that helps with nervousness and fatigue, yet it still improves mental clarity, especially when under stress, like during a presentation or tense staff meeting or when one is overworked and facing a looming deadline.

Use just a drop of Rosemary Essential Oil on the LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets for stress

COPING WITH A DRY OFFICE OR ALLERGY SEASON

Does your office or classroom have forced air heating or air conditioning that makes the environment very dry? Try applying Eucalyptus essential oil to the LovePray bracelet for combatting overly dry offices, especially during allergy season, or when recovering from a cold.

Diffuse Eucalyptus on the bracelet during allergy season or in dry environments

NATURAL BUG DETERRENTS

Wedding season is here, and while outdoor receptions and ceremonies at sunset are picturesque, they are also bug-ridden. Don’t want to wear a chemical-filled, foul-smelling bug spray to a wedding, al fresco dinner party, or picnic? I found this to be a perfect time for a LovePray Essential Oil bracelet because it’s a pretty way to keep the bugs away! Tea Tree Oil deters bugs and ticks and is useful for camping, hikes, and picnics when bug spray is not an option. Peppermint Oil also deters bugs, as does lemongrass. Citronella oil is also highly effective.

My bracelet diffused with Peppermint Oil saved me from the bugs at a recent outdoor wedding!

My pretty LovePray diffuser bracelet diffused with Peppermint Oil saved me from the bugs biting me at a recent outdoor wedding! I love not smelling having to smell like bug spray at a formal event!

CURBING THE MUNCHIES AT A RESTAURANT

Going out to eat with friends, you want to be social but not completely ruin your diet? Try Peppermint Oil, Grapefruit or Lavender on your LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser bracelet to curb excessive over-eating. TIP: Discretely directly inhale the scent of the infused beads immediately before reading the menu and ordering for an extra boost of essential oil inspired self-control.

Lavender Essential Oil helps curb the munchies

BUILD A SIGNATURE SCENT

Use a single scent such as Lemon, which is invigorating, smells clean and is considered a universally pleasing, or blend a few oils together for your own signature scent. What is your favorite essential oil combination?

Health: Islands Miracle 100% Pure Essential Oils Boxed Set

October 7, 2016 · Leave a Comment

A quality therapeutic grade essential oil is a very useful item to have around the house. They are useful blended with carrier oils and micro-misted into the air with oil diffusers. A quality set of essential oils is the Islands Miracle 100% Pure Essential Oils, ten oils that come in an attractive box set.

OIL VARIETIES INCLUDED THE ISLANDS MIRACLE ESSENTIAL OIL SET
There are ten essential oils in this boxed set. The varieties include Frankincense, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Orange, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Patchouli, Rosemary, and Silver Fir.

QUALITY
These are not just a fragrance in an oil base; they are the real deal and are tested in a variety of ways for quality and safety. Each bottle contains 100% pure unadulterated essential oil, which means there are no fillers, additives, or carrier oils. Islands Miracle Essential Oils are extracted utilizing advanced distillation and extraction methods producing the finest, therapeutic grade oils. This Essential Oil set is an exceptionally good value for both the quality and variety of oils.

PACKAGING AND DESIGN
The box is a thicker presentation-style gift black box with a decorative front decal. The box is sealed on both sides by the decal. Inside the bottles are lined up in two display columns with color-coded labels. The individual bottles are clearly labeled in larger print on colorful packaging, and the oils themselves are packaged in dark amber bottles to retain freshness. Each bottle has a Euro inverted dropper and a secure-fit black cap.

USES FOR ESSENTIAL OILS
The included usage guide suggests various uses for the oils. Some options are:

1) Diffusing: Add a few drops of one or more compatible oil scents to an oil diffuser. Particularly useful during times of sickness, allergies, congestion, or in an overly dry and stale air room. Also useful for cleansing the air of bacteria, the scent of mildew, pet odors, and cooking smells. I like to use the Islands Miracle Diffuser because it has a simple one button design with rotating colored light and it is very easy to use and clean. It is perfect with the wonderful Islands Miracle Essential Oil Diffuser

2) Essential oils are useful in soapmaking and in making massage oils and hair and skin conditioning oils. Add a few drops of an essential oil or a combination of essential oils to a carrier oil such as Jojoba, Safflower, Almond or Sunflower Oil. When applied topically, essential oils must always be diluted; they are too powerful to ever use them directly on the skin.

3) Essential Oils can be used in household cleaning products. Tea Tree and Eucalyptus have anti-microbial qualities, lavender, lemon and orange add a fresh, clean scent to homemade household cleaning remedies.

4) Therapeutic uses including Eucalyptus oil can be used for respiratory congestion, and Tea Tree Oil can be used to treat skin disorders as well as a natural alternative to chemical bug sprays.

Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense is typically a more expensive oil, and for a good reason. There is a host of health and beauty benefits to Frankincense, and a quality Frankincense is usually an investment. Used for centuries to ease pregnancy and post-natal symptomology, it can also help relieve chronic stress and anxiety, reducing pain and inflammation, and boost immunity. Frankincense is particularly useful when combined with Shea Butter and Coconut Oil for the treatment of stretch marks and other scars. It also has immune-enhancing abilities. Your dentist may be aware of some of the DIY recipes for dental care products that include Frankincense oil because it is excellent at addressing bad breath and general oral health issues.

This Islands Miracle Frankincense is a true essential oil and has a stronger scent than cheaper competitor oils. If the scent of Frankincense is strong or overpowering for you, I found that it balances well with a blend of adding a drop or two of the Orange Oil that is also included in this kit.

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender Oil is frequently used for relaxation and restful sleep. It also is useful to infuse near a closet full of clothes that need to be aired out after being packed away all season, including fall sweaters that have been sitting in dry, stale-smelling storage.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Eucalyptus Oil is very helpful for congestion due to allergies, colds, or respiratory issues. I liked this Islands Miracle Eucalyptus as it had all the sinus-clearing capability of Eucalyptus without being too pungent.

Lemon Essential Oil
Lemon is an almost universally favored scent. Research studies indicate when people detect the scent of lemons; they think a house is cleaner and more inviting. I like to diffuse lemon oil, especially if finicky guests are coming over. I was glad this Islands Miracle lemon essential oil was *not* a Lemon Pledge fake-lemon type of scent. It is subtle; I diffused it in the kitchen after a particularly pungent spicy meal was cooked to reduce any lingering smell, and the result was just a fresh, clean scent, not an obvious mask of lemony fragrance over food aromas. It only took two drops in the diffuser for about ten to fifteen minutes.

Orange Essential Oil
Orange oil is a calming sedative, an anti-inflammatory, and an antispasmodic. It is very useful when added to a massage oil or cream blend, especially for joints. To test this out, I made a blend of the Islands Miracle Orange oil and jojoba for use on my knees after my leg day exercises and did find it relieved some of the achiness. Diffused Orange Oil is also an excellent oil to eliminate pet odors or strong cooking odors in the kitchen and is very useful on cuts or abrasions due to its’ anti-bacterial properties.

Peppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint Oil is invigorating, improves mental clarity, and can eliminate the cook odors of fish or other strong food scents. Diffusing Peppermint Oil is also a natural way to deter pests such as bugs and mice without being harmful to children or pets. I tried adding a tiny drop of the Islands Miracle Peppermint oil to my regular shampoo for an invigorating, deep cleanse to my hair and scalp. I massaged my scalp for an extra minute and let the shampoo sit on my hair before rinsing and could feel the Peppermint tingle. It was relaxing and refreshing, and my scalp felt great!

Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea Tree Oil is useful as a natural insect deterrent, whether it is diffused in the house (or on a porch or deck) or worn as an alternative to chemical bug sprays. Tea Tree is useful when there is an illness in the house; it is antibacterial and anti-fungal. It can help eliminate airborne virus and bacteria. It is also very helpful for deterring mold and mildew in basements and the bath. I used the Islands Miracle Tea Tree Oil in our house after a recent respiratory ailment and was pleased with how quickly the air smelled fresh again without a lingering medicinal scent. I was impressed with the quality of this Tea Tree Oil, whereas I typically need to use 8-10 drops of another competitor’s Tea Tree Oils in my diffuser, it was only two drops of the Islands Miracle Oil in my diffuser to get results.

Patchouli Essential Oil
Patchouli Oil is often thought of primarily as a fragrance ingredient, but it has been used therapeutically in aromatherapy to treat depression and anger. Its’ medicinal uses include as a topical antiseptic, an astringent, an anti-fungal, and as an insecticide. It also protects clothes and fabrics from insects. As Patchouli is highly aromatic, take care to dilute it well, so the scent is not overwhelming for topical use. I found Grapeseed Oil and Jojoba Oil to both be good carrier oils for Patchouli to use as an all-over skin treatment deter insects when working in the garden.

Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary Oil has a strong herby, evergreen scent. In aromatherapy, it helps with nervousness, fatigue, and mental clarity, especially when under stress. Some find that diffusing Rosemary Oil helps students concentrate while doing their homework. A drop of Rosemary Oil can be added directly to shampoo or lotion. It also blends well with several of the other oils in this set including the Frankincense, Lavender, Peppermint, and the Eucalyptus. I tried a drop of the Islands Miracle Rosemary in lotion for a relaxing and soothing foot rub after standing in stiletto high-heels last week and found it very soothing. There are some medical contraindications for Rosemary, those who are pregnant or have certain health issues should avoid topical Rosemary Oil use until speaking with a doctor.

Silver Fir Essential Oil
A wintery scent, Silver Fir Oil has antibiotic and antiseptic properties. It is very useful if one has a bad bronchial cough (one that is not limited to nasal passageways or simple sinus type congestion) that Eucalyptus can address. Silver Fir is powerful and should be used sparingly as it is a vasoconstrictor. But as with all the Islands Miracle oils, you just need a drop or two. In a diffuser, the Islands Miracle oil quickly adds a winter-wonderland type scent to the air within minutes.

CONCLUSION: The Islands Miracle 100% Pure Essential Oil Set is an exceptionally high-quality set of oils, I am very pleased to have it for use in my home for aromatherapy purposes, for cleansing the air after cooking, and for beauty and health uses. I am particularly fond of the Lemon because it is a true lemon scent, and the Frankincense is such an excellent value. It is often difficult to find quality oils that have been tested as extensively as Islands Miracle quality tests their products. This set makes for a very beautiful and practical gift for an essential oil user, or for anyone who likes to make soaps and lotions, or for anyone with kids or pets who does not want to use excessive chemicals when they can find a natural alternative to address so many household and health needs.

Islands Miracle Essential Oil Diffuser

September 29, 2016 · Leave a Comment

ABOUT Essential OIL DIFFUSERS

Essential Oil Diffusers are a quick and easy way to add an aromatherapy element to your at-home spa day, to soothe a stuffy nose or a dry cough, or cleanse the air after cooking. A diffuser can remove pet smell from the house, freshen linens, and infuse the air with warm, inviting scents when guests are coming over.

THE ISLAND MIRACLES OIL DIFFUSER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

This diffuser is an attractive piece with a fresh, light, modern look.

The Island Miracles Oil Diffuser has an attractive leaf pattern that allows the glow of the colored light to show. The light is enough to serve as a nightlight but it not too bright or glaring. There are several colored light shades including green, aqua, yellow, orange, red, magenta-pink, and bright soft white. There is an option for continuous color rotation or to select one color, or no light at all, just the diffuser mode.

The plug is hidden in the back of the device to keep the cord out of sight. The design is modern but feminine and suits several decors. It would look good in a kitchen, bath, bedroom or spa services office such as massage therapy or day-spa.

There is amply-sized water well that is easy to wipe clean. There is a soft sheen to the sturdy exterior of the device.

HOW TO USE THE ISLAND MIRACLES OIL DIFFUSER

  1. Fill the diffuser with water to the “MAX FILL” line seen clearly demarked on the inside of the fill receptacle.
  2. Add 3-6 drops of your desired essential oil.
  3. Plug in the diffuser.
  4. The Island Miracles Oil Diffuser is very easy to operate. There is one large, simple button on the front of the diffuser, press it once to turn it on. The colored light will appear and will change from one color to the next.
  5. To select a color, wait until the desired color appears in the rotation, and press the button once.
  6. To run the diffuser without the colored light, lightly press the button for the third time.
  7. To shut the diffuser off, press the button a fourth time.

Diffuser set up is easy, although instructions are included if necessary.

RESULTS

The Island Treasures Oil Diffuser scents the room very quickly by dispersing the oils into the air with a micro-fine mist of steam moisture. The steam is a fine enough mist to absorb into the air without leaving the room damp, as some humidifiers can do, yet it adds enough moisture to help soothe a dry cough or make a dry room more comfortable. The scent is not overpowering, it just takes a few drops of oil, and the mist is consistent without spurting or leaking. The diffuser is quiet, the only indication that it is on is the optional colored light and the light stream of steam, there is no noise. I like this feature for using the diffuser while trying to get restful sleep.

POTENTIAL ESSENTIAL OILS TO DIFFUSE AROUND THE HOME

  • Lavender Oil, Ylang-Ylang, and citrus oil scents are soothing and helpful for restful sleep, spa-day, or making a long soak in the tub more luxurious.
  • Chamomile promotes a stress-free environment
  • Peppermint Oil is invigorating, improves mental clarity, and can eliminate the cook odors of fish or other strong food scents. Diffusing Peppermint Oil is also a natural way to deter pests such as bugs and mice without being harmful to children or pets.
  • Lemon is a favorite scent that makes the house smell clean and inviting with a fresh scent that is not overpowering
  • Eucalyptus Oil is very helpful for congestion due to allergies, colds, or respiratory issues.
  • Tea Tree Oil is useful when there is an illness in the house; it is antibacterial and anti-fungal. It can help eliminate airborne virus and bacteria. It is also very helpful for deterring mold and mildew in basements and bathrooms, especially in the shower.
  • Lavender, Peppermint, and Frankincense have anti-spasmodic properties that are useful for some people with respiratory issues. If you have known medical issues, consult a doctor

Various other diffusing oils including lemongrass, cinnamon, bergamot, and orange, amongst many others, can be used with the Island Miracles Oil Diffuser. Island Miracles also has their own line of Essential Oils that can for use with the diffuser; we will be reviewing the Island Miracles Essential Oils in a future post.

CONCLUSION: The Island Treasures Oil Diffuser is an attractive piece with a modern floral leaf design. It is sturdy and well-constructed. I really like the silent feature and easy clean-up. The one button use makes it easy to use and adjust without too much fuss. To me, these are standout features.

Suitable for all-season use, it is particularly useful in dry winters when forced air heat can make a room feel stuffy, and no fresh air reaches the room, making the air feel stale. The diffuser makes a thoughtful gift for someone in a new apartment or dorm.
