THE ALYSSA
So back story to this candle.
My god daughter just started high school
She’s a super tough chick !
But we all know anxiety can be tougher, she was struggling a little and was overwhelmed,
So I decided to put some things together to just I guess help her along,
Came up with this cute little candle quote and scented it in the ever so calming lavender and some hints of basil, lime and mandarin,
Gave her some amethyst jewellery and explained to her what the crystal represents, along with some stress relief and anxiety relief essential oil which we blend ourselves and her own diffuser so she can have some me time when she feels overwhelmed!
Anxiety can be such a hard thing to tackle, my journey with mental health I’m super open about,
I was extremely sick a year ago almost to the day was when my first panic attack started to the point I was visiting hospital every single week thinking I’m having heart attacks, getting reflux, trialled on so many medications which just made me worse and there side effects were shocking, in the end I didn’t respond to any of them and at one point I didn’t feel I could go on in life, I’m very lucky I had a huge support unit and a husband that didn’t leave my side long enough for me to act out the things in my head, my body just needed time and some techniques to cope, and I can now recognise my triggers before my panic attacks begin, I still have emergency meds on hand, but I haven’t taken them for months !
I’m calling this the Alyssa range as a little tribute to my god daughter, and I hope these candles can help someone else in hard times.
