I've been telling you all for a while now that I've been struggling with my sleep, as well as bad fatigue and anxiety, so I've been trying a whole host of different things to find some things that'll help even by a little bit. Recently I've been trying out some products from Cloudy as they kindly sent along some of their gummies, diffusers as well as some of their bodycare products and sleep spray so I thought I'd share how I'd gotten on with them.
Day & Night Stress & Sleep Gummy Duo
I was really excited to try out this duo because originally I was going to get the Sleep gummies but then I thought with my anxiety this Day & Night duo would be perfect because I could try it out during the day to see how it helped my stress and anxiety levels. Each bottle of this duo comes with a 30 day supply and you can get anywhere from 1 month to 6 months worth with a discount. The Mellows Relaxing Sleep Gummies are designed to promote relaxation and support a better sleep. They're filled with magnesium, ashwagandha and melatonin which helps to relax your body and mind. I have struggled so badly with insomnia lately and the Mellows gummies have been helping to unwind and actually fall asleep. I have noticed a difference in my quality of sleep between the nights that I use these gummies and the nights that I don't. Life with bad anxiety means that it's a 24/7 thing that I can't turn off so I'm always on the hunt for something to tell that especially whilst I'm going through high intensity CBT. The Calmies Stress gummies are designed to help promote calmness and balance as well as reducing stress, they're filled with ashwagandha, rhodiola and L-theanine. I've been using these Calmies gummies on my really bad anxiety days when it feels like things are spiralling and none of my usual techniques aren't working to calm it down. These really help to take the edge off it so I can semi-function and show up for work on these days, it also doesn't leave me feeling spaced out.
Starter Kit: All Diffusers
I won't lie, when these first arrived I hadn't truly read into them and what they were for so I actually thought they were like vape pens. However I was very glad to find out that these are aromatherapy pens with plant-powered formulas with one of each in the bundle, a melatonin, calm, focus, and caffeine pen. I really like how portable these pens were so they can be taken on the go for travelling but the calm, focus and caffeine ones are also perfectly sized to fit into your bag for taking on the go. They all have different scents depending on which one you pick, you can buy them in multi-packs or you can pick your favourites individually. I really like having the calm and caffeine ones on my desk for work.
Calming Cream Relaxing Body Butter
I usually tend to have showers or baths at night and thanks to my dry skin, I much prefer using body butters because it really helps to lock in moisture in my skin. The Calming Cream Relaxing Body Butter is filled with lavender, vanilla, coconut cream and shea butter whilst helps to nourish your skin whilst also calm your body and mind, de-stress and relax you ready for bed. Even on the days where I've had a shower or bath earlier in the day, I've been massaging this into my arms and chest particularly which compliments the sleep spray which helping me to unwind so that I can get some sleep. I've found this particularly helpful in combination with the other Cloudy products on my high anxiety days to really help take the edge off enough for me to start winding down especially when the insomnia hits.
Dream Mist Relaxing Spray Mist
Something I've been using in my sleep routine for several years now is the Dream Mist Relaxing Sleep Spray. It's a lavender, vanilla and jasmine mist that can be used on your bed, pillow and even your pjs to decompress and relax ready to fall asleep. I really like how cute the bottle for this sleep mist is, I love having it out on my bedside table. I really like the addition of vanilla and jasmine in this mist because it's a more modern scent and doesn't have that typical old fashioned scent so I love using it every night and it also leaves a lovely scent on my pjs too which is always a plus.
Cloudy have been really kind and even given me the discount code DANIELLELEVYBLOG for you to get 10% off your order so you can try their products out for yourself.
