Breath in the Beauty of Blooms from Nectar Essences + EXCLUSIVE GIVEAWAY!
Recent studies have shown the our sense of smell is intimately tied to memories and emotions. This didn’t come as much of a surprise to me – my noise often revives events and feelings I’d hardly remember otherwise.
One of the “strongest” smells for me is warm cinnamon, which evokes happy memories of not only food but special times shared with family and friends.
After meeting Jenny Pao though other San Francisco friends, I was delighted to hear about the Nectar Essences line she had recently started. Based on both the spirituality and science of flower essences, Nectar Essences delivers “sweet remedies for the soul”, made from organic and biodynamic essential oils.
Call them homeopathic, call them new age, call them hippie remedies – no matter your opinion, many medical professional are starting the see the benefits of smell therapy. Both animal- and eco-friendly, Nectar Essences‘ sprays can calm you down, perk you up, and let you drift off into dreamland.
Maybe it’s mind over matter or personal memories of pleasant smells, but it is likely a mix of both concepts that make aromatic sprays so effective. For 2 weeks, I tested 3 Nectar Essences sprays (Awake, De Stress, and Sleep) at least once a day. The longer I used the sprays, the more effective they became, leading my body and mind to become nearly “programmed” to react to the unique smells in individual ways.
The “Awake” spray helped to pull me out of my morning grogginess and focus my mind on whatever the day would bring. Whenever I would get overwhelmed or distracted by too many different projects, I’d take a 5-minute break and use the “De Stress” spray. Not only was I able to come back to my work with a refreshing mindset, I was able to skip my usual afternoon nap without feeling exhausted. As my usual bedtime approached, I’d spritz my bedroom with the “Sleep” spray to help silence my chattering mind and loosen any tense muscles.
To help start of 2009 with a renewed sense of purpose and pleasure, how about an … EXCLUSIVE GIVEAWAY!

I was reading this post and wanted to leave a comment about my own personal experiences with Nectar products. I have always been a slight insomniac and when I did fall asleep, I never felt completely rested. I got a bottle of Nectar’s ’sleep’ essence and immediately noticed a difference when I started using it. Not only does it smell nice, it helps me relax and fall asleep faster and wake up more refreshed. I have only been using it for a little while, but am already becoming addicted to the Nectar products.
To try to recycle more.
My green resolution is to switch beauty products into organic ones with no chemicals. Not only are these good for me, they help mother nature too!
i am going to try not to buy anything i that is not a necessity – no matter what a good deal it is!! as well as trying to make more things myself even from things that would normally be going to the landfill or being recycled.
My resolution is to switch to green beauty and cleaning products. I’m also trying to cut down on water usage though I love my long warm showers & bath!
My green NYR is to ride my bike (won a schwinn recently so I now have the ability to do this whereas I didn’t have a bicycle before) whenever possible to consume less gas (which also saves me money and is healthy for me where I’m getting extra exercise).
My green resolution is to think before I buy. No more impulsive spending on things I don’t need, even if they are labelled “green”. Less is more
I love the idea of these sprays and would be blessed to receive them.
I don’t believe in “resolutions” per-se but I did decide that this year was the year I do my best to be as self-sufficient as possible. Growing our own food (we are vegan so this is fairly simple). Creating functional items from recycled/re purposed goods, Composting, driving less walking/biking more, hopefully by the end of the year I will have some sort of solar project at least in the works if not done…. some sort
I am going to try to compost more, and use more natural home cleaning stuff-I hate using chemicals around the cats and kids!
I will ride my bike more often, build my strength, so that I can travel by car less often. Start small, dream big!
I am going to recycle more.
I just bookmarked the Nectar Essences website a few days ago. Wanted to purchase
I enjoy fashion, so my green new years resolution is to think before I buy and to focus on buying local and organic (already doing this with food). I’m shooting for 80% of my clothing/accessories/make-up/etc to be eco-friendly (maybe next year, I’ll shoot for 100%!).
I actually have two. The first is to take better care of myself. I haven’t been doing a very good job of that, and I resolve to eat healthier, eat local and organic when I can, and to walk whenever I can. The second is to do a better job of encouraging others (ie. my family members) to adopt green practices in their everyday lives, like recycling.
to be more conscious of recycling and reusing
My green new years resolution is recycle recycle recycle…and try to find what I need on freecyle FIRST.
As of Jan 1, I became a vegetarian, which is so much better for the environment. I also use reuseable shopping bags for all my marketing!
I want to buy more green cleaning products and remember to bring my own bags to the store. I always forget them
Consume less, reuse more, recycle like crazy! ( These products sound wonderful….would love to try them. )
To remember to bring my reusable bags to the grocery store EVERY time.
I intend to buy the Brita pitchers and drinking bottles rather than buy the plastic throwaway ones
My green New Year’s resolution is to always carry reusable bags when shopping.
I hope to recycle even more this year. Thanks for the chance.
To recycle my plastic bottles even if I have to bring them home to do this.
