This week I'm obsessed with... Puressentiel Rest & Relax Air Spray!

You can rub all the lotions and potions you want into your skin but nothing makes you look better then a good night's sleep! Whether you have trouble falling asleep or having a restful night's sleep help is at hand with:

Puressentiel Rest & Relax Air Spray - 75ml - $22.99 - contains 12 100% natural essential oils including: Rosewood, Garden-chamomile, Cypress, Lavender, Mandarin, Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Palmarosa, Petitgrain, Sandalwood, Vervain - an aromatherapy spray used to calm and help with peaceful nights. It's easy to use, they recommend that you either spray it in the four corners of the room or spray a tissue and place it on your bedside table - if you don't have a large room go with the tissue or you might find the scent to be a little too much.

And when I need a little stress relief on the go

Puressentiel Stress Roll-On - 5ml - $9.99 - with a combination of 12 essential oils including: Roman Chamomile, Lavander, Lavandin, Marjoram, Mentha pulegium, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, West India Sandal-wood, Clary Sage, Vetiver, Ylang Ylang - to help to relax and create a sense of wellbeing, harmony of body and mind. Whenever I start to feel stressed I just apply on the inside of my wrists, temples and over neck arteries. Rub the wrists against one another, and breathe in deeply taking 10 deep breaths - and instantly feel calmer!

If you're in Quebec you can already find the Puressentiel line in your local pharmacies - Ontario will have to wait until September or find in online at HealthSnap.ca.
