New to my collection is a brand called Eve & Keel and they very kindly sent me two products from their collection. Every so often you are introduced to a brand and you just click with what they stand for, their ethos, what they offer and the sales pitch just reaches out to you - that is what happened with Eve & Keel. Eve & Keel state that they are here to support wellbeing and encourage a sense of balance. Their range of stress-slaying products are just perfect for creating a self-care toolkit and being Vegan, cruelty-free, hand- crafted and organic as well as recycled or recyclable, they definitely put a lot of thought into the products they create and sell throughout the entire process.
Lockdown has been difficult, I don't think anyone would argue differently, it has been difficult for a lot of different reasons - for me, working from home and not going to my office has been hard, I've not seen my work colleagues in person since March, I haven't seen my friends and other than going shopping for essentials - food, I have barely left the house.
I was kindly gifted the Deep Release Body Oil and the Creativity Sacral Chakra Roller to try.
Starting with the Deep Release Body Oil (£38) it is designed to 'Feed your skin and Relax your mind'. I really liked this oil from the first use, for me it has two uses, either on your own skin after a hot shower or bath when your skin probably needs a whole lot of moisture and hydrating, or it can be used as a massage oil, which of course you can massage yourself or ask your beloved to rub those aching shoulders, your back and so on.
This oil smells just divine, the first thing I noticed about it was the scent, it is incredible and just so fresh. It is made up of 4 base oils and three essential oils and each one of those has a role to play.
Jojoba, Apricot and Sunflower oils are referred to as being Skin food and their job is to absorb into the skin quickly whilst nourishing and hydrating to leave behind skin which is silky smooth to the touch.
Vitamin E is the antioxidant and its job is to stabilise free radical cells to help keep skin springy and youthful.
Mandarin is the comforting oil, with its uplifting scent of Mandarin calms a heavy mind while it’s skin-loving properties get to work restoring your natural glow.
Sweet Marjoram is a bit of an unsung hero when it comes to essential oils and hero for all things tight and crampy, Sweet Marjoram is the perfect blend of pain relieving and relaxing.
Lavender which is known for its properties to help heal, soothe, relieve pain, calm as well as to encourage deep sleep.
On the skin, this oil isn't greasy or slippery in anyway, once it comes into contact, it does absorb super quick and it leaves behind no film or residue, just a sweet scent of Mandarin, which for me is really noticeable and as it settles there is a slight hint of Lavender, but nothing too overpowering.
The creativity: sacral chakra roller (£27) is described as being a floral powerhouse of feminine, use this roller to find your flow and unleash your inner Aphrodite. I was really intrigued by this roller, which as a product, I am a huge fan of and have used other brands offerings for a good few years.
As you can see, this rollerball is really pretty to look at and it has been designed to enhance your creativity and passion as well as to support your energy and deepen your feminine wisdom. The red Carnelian crystals which you can see is a stabilising stone which is said to restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. The crystals work alongside a host of essentials oils which include the likes of
May Change which has a really pretty citrus scent and its role is positivity,
Jasmine is to bring strength and energy whilst
Ylang Ylang brings about a calm confidence and sense of empowerment.
To use this rollerball, you simply roll it across your pulse points (wrists, temples) and for me, the fragrance along with the action of rolling it on those pulse points is relaxing and calming in itself.
These are just two of the products available from Eve and Keel and there is a whole lot more to see with other rollers ranging from Bath Salts and balms to mists and oils. A wonderful way to spend some 'me time' in bliss.
