Nectar Essences Review and Giveaway

Lavender helps you sleep better, Jasmine reduces stress, lemon and grapefruit revitalize you, sequoia makes you feel grounded, and rose inspires love and connection.

Which is all fine and dandy in theory, but not always easy to procure on a day to day basis, or when you need it most.

At least it wasn't until now.

The brilliant creator of Nectar Essences has found a way for you to benefit from all the healing and life enhancing properties of flowers on a daily, if not hourly basis.

What are you looking for? Something to help you get a good night's rest? Something to help ease your child into a good night? Work a spritz of Sleep into your evening routine and enjoy the rest that the lavender and jasmine mix will bring.

Are you looking for a scent that will bring you and your partner closer at the end of the day? Balance will do just that. Particularly effective if used after Sleep has sent the children to dreamland...

A quick spritz of Awake when you sit at your computer to start your day will help you focus your energies and awaken your senses helping you be instantly more productive.

And if you're traveling, grab your bottle of At Home and enjoy feeling grounded and connected to the earth so you can banish that unnerving feeling of being away from home.

Smells control our moods more than we can ever imagine. With Nectar Essences you don't have to wait to be in that particularly fragrant backyard to be transported to a place of serenity or joy.

Little L and C love when I spritz them with a little Sleep just before bedtime and I'm very prone to alternating the use of De Stress and Awake when I'm having trouble getting to work. I find the simple act of spraying and then basking in the smells to be therapeutic, like I'm doing something good for us.

Nectar Essences Pros:

- Light, not overpowering fragrances that never seem to become cloying.
- Bring a whole new level to your daily routines by calling another sense into action - smell!
- Scent for pretty much any need - rest, action, love, sleep, de-stress.
- Affordable - each spray is $28 - great for personal needs and for gifts.
- Scents work in tandem to suit your needs (Sleep+De Stress...) and the smells meld beautifully.
- Contains only organic materials.

Nectar Essences Cons:

- I wish that I could leave Awake in my car so we can use it every morning, but I'm worried that the heat would alter the fragrance and diminish the effect.
- I wish the smells would linger a little longer, but it's not designed to be an air freshener. Bummer.

I'm prone to stress and I'm losing weight or unable to sleep when I do... so I'm willing to try the De-stress one.

AM/PM looks good to me.

Hmmm, they all sound intriguing, but Awake might be best for those days at school when I'm just not all there!

Spelling tests, in particular, put me to sleep.
