I recently sent some bamboo + organic cotton eye pillows to the awe-inspiring Yoga By Candace for a photoshoot for her upcoming book.
(Here’s a behind-the-scenes clip of her setting up her yoga props like a boss for the shoot!)

Candace mentions in this post that she can’t sleep or travel without her eye pillow now (My mom says the same thing) :)
Others have told me that they love using theirs for savasana, or as a cold pack for their tired, computer-stressed eyes. Want to try one for yourself? All aromatherapy eye pillows are currently $5 off in my etsy shop – now until Monday 2/1
https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheLotusRoot
I’m also giving an eye pillow away to one lovely winner ♡
To enter:
1: LIKE The Lotus Root Facebook or Instagram page (or both!)
2: Share your favorite memory that you associate with a scent. Are you transported back to your grandma’s kitchen every time you smell blueberry pie? Do you think of your trip to India when you inhale the scent of Sandalwood?
Leave a comment letting us know on Instagram (on this post) or on Facebook
(right here) for a chance to win. Giveaway ends Monday, 2/1 at Midnight EST.
The winner will be chosen at random and will receive the eye pillow of their choice from my shop.
As you probably know I’m a big fan of the power of aromatherapy, and will be talking more about essential oils and their effects on the mind/body/soul in future posts. I’ll also be getting more deeply into their benefits for the skin (and which oils to avoid) so stay tuned! (and as always – feel free to reach out if you have any questions!)

What people are sayin’:
Got the most Om-mazing “Dream” lavender scented lotus eye pillow to help with sleeplessness from Liz at The Lotus Root. When I opened the box, the out pouring of calm scents and love was unbelievable. It’s been such a rough day for Pain and I am so happy to have my eye pillow ♥ Thank you Liz!! – Krysten F. from Holla For my Mala – Asbury Park, NJ
Smells amazing and is the perfect size and weight. Thanks! Crystal C. – CA

Well, I’ve been dropping hints about this for months, and I’m finally ready to let you know that I’m making some big changes.
For the last year and a half I’ve been working on a line of handcrafted, natural skin care products, which will be in my online shop in a couple of months. Woohoo! I’m so excited to share them with you.
I’m even more excited to start writing more articles, how-to’s, etc. about all of the things that I love – herbalism, self care, ayurveda, supporting small businesses (organic farmers, beekeepers, essential oil producers..etc.), fair trade, aromatherapy, health & wellness, different healing modalities, detoxing, non-gmo ingredients, nutrition, sustainability, d.i.y natural skincare ..etc..etc.. etc.. all things that tie into what I’ve been working on.
I find it appaling that there are so many so called “natural and organic” skincare products out there that are loaded with harmful ingredients. I hate it when people I love are tricked by the marketing buzz words. I know it can be overwhelming navigating through all the info out there, but I love it. I want to make your life easier by breaking it down for you, and sharing what I’ve learned. And by creating products that are truly natural, non-gmo, cruelty-free, organic whenever possible, in recyclable packaging, and made with the highest quality ingredients I can get my hands on.
I’m also having a fall giveaway on my Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheLotusRoot
So head on over there to let me know your number one skincare need/concern – The winner will get the item of their choice from my shop
I’ll still be doing t-shirts from time to time – but all new items will be limited edition, printed in very small runs.
If natural skincare isn’t your thing, sign up here to get updates on new t-shirts and art. Otherwise, I’m looking forward to continuing to share info on health & wellness, natural solutions, and ways to detoxify your life (and not putting toxic /carcinogenic products on your skin is a huge part of that).
