With life admin, household chores and approximately 29193 emails to contend with, I am forever fantasising about a countryside spa break or even just an extra hour or so of uninterrupted sleep. The next best thing? Squeezing little self-care habits into your everyday.
That's where Ede comes in. The modern aromatherapy brand uses the ancient power of aromatherapy and organic ingredients to bring micro-moments of 'mind care' to your every day. Housed in brightly-coloured boxes, each scent is aptly named by intention. Whether it's 'Morning Brew' to act like an invigorating morning shower for the senses, or 'Burnout' to encourage calmness and a quieter mind, there is a scent roller to help you 'wherever you are, whenever you roll'.
There's even a handy Match Your Mood quiz on Ede's website to help determine which 'roll on therapist' will make the biggest difference in your life. All of them, please and thank you.
One happy customer shared, "As someone who loves aromatherapy and has used it as a tool for aiding my mental and physical wellbeing for years, Ede has hit the mark on their products. Firstly, the packaging is gorgeous and feels super chic.
They continued, "[Burnout] is the only one I have tried so far but find it to be massively grounding as soothing for those days when I experience high anxiety and just for overall comfort. It really is a hug! I also love to use this post-evening shower to help me wind down after days at work. Really looking forward to trying more of their products in the future!"
The idea to start a cool-yet-effective aromatherapy brand started when Ede founder Eve, discovered aromatherapy during her struggle with anxiety and fell in love with the benefits for her mind. She believed there wasn't a brand on the market that was 'cool or relatable', so she created one.
I've tested out three of the best-selling aromatherapy rollers and am chuffed to confirm that they are ruddy brilliant. Check out my thoughts and where to shop below...
