The first step to looking your best is a great night’s sleep. If you’re having trouble, but don’t want to rely on a prescription, try Essence of Vali –it’s a safe herbal alternative. Their sleep collection contains mists, oils, and balms made to relax your body and mind through your sense of smell. The subtle scents gently soothe you into dreamdom.

Sleep is Essence of Vali’s most popular collection. The blend is made with lavender flowers, cedar wood, marjoram leaves, and ylang/ylang petals. Try the collection out by picking up the Sleep Travel Set ($18, essenceofvali.com). It  includes the Sleep Mist, Bedtime Balm, and 2 Mini-Size Concentrates for on-the-go use in a pretty blue pouch. Take them with you on your next trip to really get some “R and R” out of your vacation.

Remember, a simple drop or spritz of the formula on your pillowcase, or a dab of the balm on your upper lip is all it takes. These solutions can also be used during the day to alleviate stress, and Valerie Bennis, president and founder of Essence of Vali, says some of her clients claim it does wonders for migraines.

Sweet dreams!
