It has been quiet on the blog this week because :-
a) I am extremely tiredb) I have been super busy
c) I am enjoying as much freedom* as I can before my in-laws arrive tomorrow to stay with us for God knows how long (kill me now!!)
d) All of the above
And the answer is... d) All of the above... BUT especially c)
*By "freedom", what I mean is - prancing around in the comfort of my own home with no bra on!!! Ladies, you all know what I mean, right?
Anywaaaaay, I've been doing a lot of breathing exercises lately to help me relax and wind down. I am usually an extremely patient, mild-mannered, non-confrontational person but I am preparing myself in case I need to "have it out" with my MIL.
Luckily for me, to help me relax, L'Occitane sent me a lovely package of their soon-to-be released Aromachologie Relaxing range - Perfumed Sachets, Pillow Mist and Massage Body Oil.
Three words - TO. DIE. FOR.
As you already know, I'm a big fan of lavender pillow sprays from This Works so I was SUPER eager to test out L'Occitane's version.
The Relaxing Pillow Mist contains essential oils from lavender, bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange and geranium. It is BEAUTIFUL!

It comes in a generous 100ml bottle which is a good thing because I spray this liberally all over my 3 pillows, my side of the duvet { Aussies say 'doona' } and even on my wrists because I love the smell that much. It is definitely not one of those old-lady-overpowering-lavender scents but just to be on the safe side, have a sniff in store before you purchase it.
As for the Relaxing Perfumed Sachets, they give the extra oomph! Because I am an insomniac, I struggle to fall asleep and I'm always tempted to turn on my phone and go on Facebook or something until it bores me to sleep. But now, instead of doing that, I take a DEEP SNIFF of the Perfumed Sachet { which I conveniently place under my main pillow } and do a few deep breathing exercises and that gets my sleepy senses going.
There are 2 sachets in a box but the other one is currently sitting in my work locker as I'm saving it for the uber stressful days at work, i.e. every Monday to combat Monday-itis!
I have relaxed so much more since using both of these L'Occitane products. They are already on my Regular Repurchases List.
The Relaxing Body Massage Oil has sadly not been put to use yet. My husband is always asleep by the time I jump into bed. I shall have to test it tonight { Fifty Shades of Grey style! TMI?!! LOL! } before the in-laws get here. I'm very hopeful since the other products have been awesome.
Anyway, if you're a fan of lavender scents and/or you're looking for some relaxation, do check these out when they hit L'Occitane stores in March.
Disclosure - thanks again to L'Occitane for providing these products to help me relax!
