4 Magic Recipes for Rest and Relaxation

4 Magic Recipes for Rest and Relaxation

admin 0 Comments

I’m all about the nervous system these days. Over the last decade, life has become increasingly challenging-I think everyone experiences a season like that, especially in middle age. Today I’m sharing a sleep/relaxation roll on recipe, pillow spray, essential oil inhaler and diffuser recipe to help improve sleep, support the nervous system and relax your mind. 

First, can I just say that blogging has become about pleasing Google (fact checking, robot/AI like posts) for a long time now. In fact, blogging all together has become a thing of the past. Most people don’t want to take the time to read a full blog post-bite sized video clips on social media have become the only content that is effective. However, I’m hanging in there and when I share a post about health, I by no means come from a place of authority. I like to write as though we are close and personal friends and am sharing my personal experiences. This is one of those  posts. I research and come to my own conclusions and sometimes it feels worth sharing. I have no credentials when it comes to giving health advice. I just like to share what works for me in the hopes it may work for you too. 

My nervous system has been a big concern of mine for years and so I’m encouraging self awareness and suggesting using essential oils as a tool to start calming the system. It’s always a favorite part of my journey to getting back to a calm nervous system. 

Are You In Fight or Flight?

You’ve probably heard of fight or flight. It is when a stressful life event can cause your body to stay in alert mode in order to protect itself. It’s a self preservation tactic our bodies do to help but when a stressor lingers for weeks, months or even years our nervous system can get stuck. Our body goes into fight or flight by producing too much cortisol. 

A few indicators that your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight:

  • Scaring easily if there is a loud noise or someone sneaks up on you.
  • Gaining belly fat
  • Low energy
  • Waking at 3 am
  • Slow digestion
  • Muscle tension
  • Racing thoughts
  • Shallow breathing

Supporting the body and letting it know it’s safe to come out of fight or flight usually just takes time. However, I proactively work on nurturing myself back to normal, also known as “rest and digest”. 

My tools to calm my nervous system are prayer, reading, jigsaw puzzles, walking, getting in bed early with lots of cats, essential oils, dim lighting and good TV, saying NO to invitations that may heighten stress, THC micro dosed gummies etc. Your tools may look different. The key is to find out healthy ways to relax your mind and body and do those things as much as possible. 

The point of saying all of this is to share a series of DIYs I’ve been loving in my nighttime routine. I love using essential oils and truly believe aromatherapy is a very powerful tools when it comes to relaxing and sleep.

4 Best Essential Oils for Relaxation and Sleep:

  • Lavender: Lowers anxiety and heart rate to help you fall asleep faster. Many studies have shown lavender is effective when it comes to the nervous system.
  • Roman Chamomile: Soothes the nervous system, relieves physical tension and stops nighttime waking.
  • Cedarwood: Grounds the body and encourages melatonin production.
  • Ylang Ylang: Helps lower blood pressure and heart rate, encouraging relaxation.

Nervous System Reset Roll On Recipe:

  • 15 drops Lavender
  • 5 drops Roman Chamomile
  • 5 drops Cedarwood 
  • 2 drops Ylang Ylang
  • Top off w/ carrier oil (Fractionated Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Jojoba, Sweet Almond, Avocado etc.)
  • 10ml glass roll on bottle

I sometimes like to call this roll on, “Liquid Xanax”.  You can carry it with you during the day and/or use it before bed. Roll it on pulse points and on the bottoms of the feet before bed. You should also inhale it by taking slow, deep breaths.

If you’d like to make this for a child, I recommend reducing the amount of essential oils by half. 

TIP: If you’d like to make this in a 1 ounce roller bottle just triple the amount of drops. I found 1 ounce glass roller bottles with rose quartz balls that I’m wanting to use for other recipes-they’re so cool!

Sleepy Time Diffuser Blend:

  • 7 drops Lavender 
  • 3 drops Roman 
  • 1 drops Ylang Ylang

Add essential oil drops and water to a diffuser 1 hour before bedtime. Allow to run through the night. 

TIP: If you love the Young Living glass diffuser but don’t want to spend $350+, I’ve had THIS ONE for 2 years now and it’s still going strong. It is identical.

Time to Unwind Inhaler Recipe:

  • 6 drops Lavender
  • 3 drop Cedarwood
  • 3 drops Roman Chamomile
  • 2 drops Ylang Ylang
  • Inhalers

I love making essential oil inhalers. They are a wonderful (and easy) tool to have on hand for many different occasions. You can use an inhaler as often as needed. You simply remove the lid, hold it under your nose and breath deeply for 1-2 minutes. You can find more information in my Essential Oil Inhaler post along with quite a few inhaler recipes (and cute labels) including an allergy inhaler, an illness inhaler and a nausea inhaler.

Sweet Dreams Pillow Spray Recipe:

Add all ingredients to a glass spray bottle and generously spray your linens, especially your pillows before getting into bed. 

TIP: You can always add more essential oils if you feel the scent isn’t strong enough. I love lavender so I often sneak a bit more after a few sprays. 

Where To Get The Best Essential Oils:

I typically get my essential oils from Plant Therapy. Sometimes I’m in a hurry and get them on Amazon but honestly, ordering them from their website is just as quick and free shipping. Plus, going to their website gives me a chance to check for sales which happen often. I also love Mountain Rose Herbs essential oils. They are great quality as well. Both companies are 3rd party tested, organic and reasonably priced. 

I hope this post has been helpful. I’m very inspired by the art of relaxing. I think it is easier said than done and so many of us live in a stressful environment that is taking a great toll on our overall health. I’d love to start a discussion in the comments and hear how you de-stress and nurture your nervous system! 

xx, Jenni

Charlotte Tilbury's anti-ageing Magic Cream reduced to £11

Charlotte Tilbury’s anti-ageing Magic Cream reduced to £11

admin 0 Comments

Charlotte Tilbury fans will likely already be familiar with the brand’s famous Magic Cream – the cult-favourite moisturiser that’s become a staple in countless skincare routines thanks to its rich, hydrating formula and glowing finish. And right now, beauty lovers can pick it up for the equivalent of £11 in a special limited-time deal.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Iconic Magic Mini Skin Set has been reduced from £48 to £33.60, saving shoppers £14.40. The travel-friendly kit includes three bestselling beauty essentials – Magic Cream, Magic Serum Crystal Elixir and a sculpting gua sha – meaning each item works out at approximately £11.20.

For anyone yet to discover the hype, Magic Cream is formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and peptides, which help leave skin feeling plumper and more moisturised. It also contains vitamins C and E, ingredients known to help brighten the complexion while providing antioxidant nourishment.

The Magic Serum Crystal Elixir is another bestseller from the range. Infused with peptides, vitamin C and niacinamide, the lightweight serum is designed to help skin appear smoother and more radiant while reducing the appearance of pores over time.

Completing the trio is a gua sha facial massage tool, which can be used alongside skincare to help encourage circulation, ease facial tension and temporarily create a more sculpted-looking complexion.

Beyond CT, another tempting travel-sized kit is Boots Spring Skincare Refresh Edit (£30, worth £75.20). This bundle features a blend of full-size favourites and must-have minis, including names like The Breakout Hack, BYOMA and RoC.

Otherwise, The Body Shop has some great discounts on its body care bundles. That includes the White Tea & Elderflower Essentials (£14.50, was £29), which includes a shower gel, hand cream and body butter.

Back to Charlotte Tilbury’s Iconic Magic Mini Skin Set; it’s had some great reviews from fans. This person shared: “First time using these products, but it won’t be the last! I brought the set for a long-haul flight, but thought I’d try it out beforehand, and I can’t stop using it. The tool is great, and I’m sure I’ve noticed a difference on my face.”

Meanwhile, a second shopper piped up: “Great little set to try and to take on a break. Product feels smooth, light and easy to use. I am 60, and my skin loves CT products, and the packaging looks so luxurious.”

However, as with all skincare products, it isn’t for everyone. This reviewer said: “I was really looking forward to trying this product, and it’s a great-sized gift set! Unfortunately, the Magic Cream made me break out, so I never tried the serum as I was worried this would break me out too.”

The ‘magic wand’ anti-ageing gadget that ‘made a difference to my 68-year-old skin’

“Wow, I’m so addicted to this machine, it’s like a magic wand. It works with wrinkles and makes the skin absorb the product.”

I found a ‘magic wand’ anti-ageing gadget that ‘really made a difference to my 68-year-old skin’ reduced on Amazon(Image: Amazon)

Anti-ageing routines do not have to mean regular trips to expensive clinics or take up too much time in the day. Using the right anti-ageing products that are suitable for your skin can help improve the visible signs of dullness, sagging, fine lines and wrinkles.

Combining the correct serums and moisturisers with a gadget like Medicube’s Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device is a great way to maximise the efficacy of these products without having to invest in more steps.

Medicube’s Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device typically costs £220 but has been reduced by 48% to £115 as part of Amazon’s Prime Day sale (June 23 to June 26). This brings the price down to £115, the cheapest deal we’ve seen in a while.

While it’s still a considered purchase, the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device will save on getting glass skin facials in the long run. The rechargeable device combines electroporation, microcurrent, EMS, LED, and sonic vibration to provide professional-level, at-home skincare.

The Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device may not be a miracle cure for rewinding the clock, but it is designed to boost skincare absorption to create ‘glass skin’ while targeting fine lines, skin elasticity, facial contouring, and pore tightening with continued use over time. The brand recommends using the device in five to ten minute sessions throughout the day.

The device is suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin. The gadget combines six technologies into four specific modes, eliminating the need for multiple devices.

The Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device has racked up 1,216 five-star reviews (Image: Amazon)

On booster mode, the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device uses gentle electrical currents to create temporary micro-channels in your skin, pushing serums and essences much deeper into skin than doing it manually.

Used on dry skin, air shot mode sweeps electrical currents across your face to gently exfoliate, smooth texture, and tighten the appearance of enlarged pores without breaking the skin. MC mode sends low-level currents to stimulate and plump the skin, targeting fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

The device also features five different LED light colours including blue for pores, red for elasticity, orange for brightening, green for volume, and purple for enhanced absorption) and customizable sonic vibrations. It also connects to the AGE-R app via Bluetooth, which acts like a pocket aesthetician to help you track your progress, control the settings, and build a custom routine.

The popular device helps to promote elasticity in the skin (Image: Amazon)

Elsewhere, Boots is offering 10% off the Sensse MicroGlo Microneedling & LED Device, now costing £89.99 instead of £99.99. The breakthrough in intelligent skincare combines four professional-grade technologies in one sleek device, delivering spa-quality treatments from the comfort of your home.

If there’s more room in your budget, Cult Beauty’s Déesse Pro Sculpta by Déesse Pro is available for £499. The multi-functional device is designed to treat fine lines and wrinkles, and restore contours and elasticity, not just on your face but your body, too.

Back at Amazon, the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device boasts an overall star-rating of 4.2 out of five based on more 5.939 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: “I have been using for one week so far and have seen great results. This is an expensive product but if you invest in your skin care you will see results.”

A second wrote: “I have been using it for a month and I love it so much. Wrinkles are gone and my double chin appears smaller, will keep using it.”

“After using the Booster Pro Skin Therapy Device for just a week, I’m already seeing fantastic results,” a third penned. “My pores look smaller, and my skin tone is more even and glowing. It’s really easy to use and has made a noticeable difference in how my skin feels and looks. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you want healthier, more vibrant skin.”

One shopper, however, found the Age-R Booster 6-in-1 Real Glass Annealing Device to be be too ‘time consuming’ and gave it a three-star review. It reads: “Easy to use but recommend to use three to five times a day. Who has that kind of time? It is very well made.”

Before and after using the Medicube device (Image: Amazon)

A second three-star review mentions: “Decent device with some benefits like improved absorption and radiance, but results are subtle. LED anti-wrinkle effect is minimal. Pore care works okay. Build quality is good, but expected better for the price. Average performance overall.”

But somebody else loved their latest Amazon skincare purchase, adding: “Wow, I’m so addicted to this machine, it’s like a magic wand. It works with wrinkles and makes the skin absorb the product.”

Another five-star review reads: “Love this device, it really has made a difference to my 68-year-old skin. Great price on Amazon too. Best to look at some YouTube videos for how to use though.”

admin 0 Comments

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, skincare has become more than a beauty ritual; it is a daily act of self-care. With pollution, changing weather, stress, sunscreen, makeup, and excess oil affecting the skin every day, the need for a gentle yet effective cleanser has become more important than ever.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Daily Cleanser

Cleansing is the foundation of every skincare routine. It helps remove dirt, sweat, excess sebum, pollution, sunscreen residue, and daily impurities that settle on the skin. However, the right cleanser should not only clean the skin but also maintain its comfort and natural balance.

A harsh face wash may leave the skin feeling stretched, dry, or irritated. This is why consumers are increasingly looking for skincare products that are gentle, nature-inspired, and suitable for daily use.

A good face wash should help:
