Thanks for posting that Lil22 - looks interesting, have you tried it?
-
Hi I haven't, was rushing posting but was just going to say I've seen about three articles now on this, for insomniacs etc.
I gutted as just been to Newcastle and there is a lush there, but not one near me.
I'll def be trying though, its natural and seems to work. Xxx
-
Let us know if it works Lil. No Lush near me, but will look out for it when next in the city. Can smell the shop fifty yards away!
-
Haha! I no, I always think I'd have a banging head working in there xx

Off to lush to buy some 🙂
-
I will for sure, if you do keep us up dated xxx
-
The nearest lush here has sold out of sleepy 😫
-
I've ordered some online. You have to pay for delivery but if it helps it's worth it. It should be here by Tuesday so I'll keep you informed :)
-
Fab, It really sounds amazing xxx
-
I can't wait to try it. I'm a long time user of all things "Lush" and all of their products smell really good. If it doesn't help my insomnia at least I'll smell fab :-*
-
Hehe exactly xxx
-
Hope Lush don't hold you responsible for the stampede of menopausal women beating down their doors today Lil!!
-
Haha maybe I should of asked for commission 😜Xxx

I use sleep serenity lavender pillow mist from Avon it's lovely and natural lavender essential oil only pillow too
-
Is it just me who finds lavender overpowering? I grew up helping Mum make lavender bags using Grandma's lavender bush.
Maybe its global warming that has given lavender a boost to its scent. One drop is enough and it has never helped me go to sleep or relax.
I share Valerian with the cats. They are calmed when something noisy is on, such as the annual Fireworks Championship which is held here. Spectacular but oh so noisy. If we are stressed, it helps us too. A big thanks has to go to Sarah, our vet for introducing it to us.
-
I'm thinking lavender the main ingredients but must be the other things to mixed with it, I do put lavender on my pillow and have tried the avon lavender range to.
I guess when you don't sleep well you try anything. Xxx
-
I made lavender bags from our garden plants for years & still layer these between stored linen. Also tried sleeping with one tucked inside the pillow case, put lavender oil on the pillow & tried an electric fan diffuser from Neal's Yard with lavender oil. Now use those plug-in fresheners with lavender oil. Have tried lavender scented body lotions with & without oatmeal & hand cream too, but none of it helps me sleep! Still, I love the scent of it, so still use it in the bedroom.
-
Wow you are the lavender queen ☺️
I do find it relaxing at the moment the progesterone tablet is helping me sleep four hours before waking which is good for me. I also take magnesium xxx
-
I find the Utrogestan sedative Lil, but unfortunately doesn't see me through the night by any means! Magnesium seemed to be the missing piece of the jigsaw before meno & helped with all sort of things, but since then I can't seem to tolerate it. Meno seems to be super-complicated when on thyroid meds!
