I’m not sure I believe in certain scents being enough to de-stress me. I’ve used Rescue Remedy and other flower remedies in the past with little effect and I certainly wasn’t convinced that a combination of lime oil, bergamot and geranium would be enough to keep me calm.
What I was sure of was that I needed something. Running around after two kids and a husband is stressful enough as it is; adding work and a killer commute into the mix was enough to send me over the edge. And that was before I really got into my current role. The stress levels have soared and whilst I probably do my best work under pressure it’s not a sustainable option.
Then along came MamaBabyBliss and their Bliss Stick Uplifting Oil. I was curious to see if it would be any better than other things I’ve tried but I didn’t hold out much hope.
I was wrong.
The Bliss Stick is a small roll-on that you dab on your pulse points for an instant natural pick me up. Its all-natural ingredients include lime oil to lift depression and energize a tired mind while easing breathing and assisting digestion, bergamot for depression, feeling fed-up, respiratory problems, colds and flu, PMS and SAD and geranium to help relieve stress, mild depression, PMS, anxiety and tension, menopausal problems and for general energizing.
The products is manufactured in the UK, are not tested on animals, are free of chemicals and are safe for breastfeeding mothers. They do not contain mineral oil, paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum, Sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate or parabens. They are packaged in glass bottles for easy recycling with bio-degradable bubble-wrap for protection.
And it actually works!
I’ve been religiously dabbing the stuff on my wrists and I’ve noticed such a difference in my stress levels. The oil’s scent can seem a bit strong, especially if you use a lot of it, but as long as you’re not wearing perfume it’s not a problem.
The Bliss Stick Uplifting Oil costs £5 – a small price to pay – and is available from www.mamababybliss.com. It’s part of a range of natural pampering products for pregnancy, babies and mothers, all of which are made with natural active ingredients that are ethically sourced and are entirely free of chemicals found in similar products.

I think I might go and get some of that Vic, thanks for the heads up and very reasonably priced too!
