Gotta get higher? There’s an oil for that. Wanna wind down? There’s an oil for that too. Lately we’re obsessed with these moody essential oils blends from sustainable-chic retailer, The Dreslyn, for a little aromatherapy action that gets us to just the right level.
We’re all about staying in balance, but sometimes an energy boost or release is a welcome change — whether it’s a little cardio and a coffee catapult on slothish mornings or a breathwork session followed by a glass of wine to wind down from a stressful day.
