Last-Minute Gifts

Need a last-minute gift idea?

Homedics sells some really nice essential oils under their name, Ellia. During this year's Cyber Monday, I got a great deal and was able to order some of the new roll-on oils that I'd been wanting to try.

They arrive in these pretty cylindrical boxes with lids. The rollers are very easy to apply, too. The scent doesn't last a very long time (I don't think it's meant to behave the way some perfumes do), but when applied to pulse points you will smell it initially.

I've been enjoying Fight It, which is meant to help you stay healthy over cold and flu season. It has a nice spicy citrus scent, like a good cup of tea. I've also been using Dream Away before bed. Frankincense and Myrrh are also cool to try this time of year!

Macy's sells Homedics wellness kits, each with its own essential oil roll on. I think I saw Dream Away (for relaxation), Jet Lag for travelers, and maybe a Stress Relief oil. I could've used that Stress Relief oil this holiday season!

I may not buy into all of the supposed health benefits of essential oils, but what I do appreciate is that the fragrances are natural. I worry about the chemicals in our beauty products, and if I can find an effective alternative that is safe, I will try it.

Blessings on your Christmas Eve, cafe friends!
