I love Scentered. If you want to treat your body as the temple it should be, (in between the odd aperol spritz and naughty desert that is) then I would strongly recommend these lovely aromatherapy balms and candles.
Essential oils have been extracted from aromatic plants and used medicinally since ancient times, and for good reason and Scentered prides itself on high quality. Their balms are blended moringa and shea butters, infused with essential oils, in a handy twist-up container. They are 100% natural, so no nasties such as parabens, artificial fragrances or colours.
The first thing you’ll notice when you open the packet is the amazing smell. And the second, and third thing you’ll notice is the amazing smell – nothing more, nothing less.
This set of five balms is a real treat – ‘Be Happy’, ‘De-stress’, ‘Focus’, ‘Escape’ and ‘Sleep well’ – the names speak for themselves.
You can rub the balm onto pressure points as you dash out, or you can take time, lie down and relax, apply the balm of your choice, then take some deep breaths and send yourself to another place and time, just for a few minutes in your busy day – or longer if you really want to feel the benefit.
Personally I suffered from terrible jetlag – it’s been the bain of my working life, and my holiday-time too. There’s nothing worse than staring at a hotel ceiling, conscious that the few hours before that important meeting are ebbing away, and yet no amount of counting sheep is doing the trick. So I was delighted to spot the Sleep Well and Focus travel pack. It contains a 5 g stick of each of these two balms – to help you get off to sleep, and then to focus at that meeting – and the pack is small enough to slot into your hand luggage.
There are more suggestions on how to use these products on the Scentered website, where their lovely balm sticks, and beautiful scented candles can be purchased.
Go on – treat yourself, you deserve it.
