This year’s UAE National Day celebrations sees the beautiful Emirates turning a milestone 50. And what better way to honor our hometown than by pampering ourselves with holistic mists, citrusy scents, and cruelty-free makeup buys that are made right here in Dubai? The perfect way to #supportlocal this year.

Your sleep remedy, that’s natural, organic and made from the best essential oils to help you sleep, tune out, turn the monkey mind off, restore, heal and bounce back the next day. Apply a few drops to the body. These sensory points – wrists, earlobes, shoulder, neck, soles of the feet, chest area - are highly recommended to quickly get the oils into the body and the bloodstream. This essential oil blend is proven to help you achieve an uninterrupted night of sleep. Its key ingredient lavender has calming properties and has been scientifically-proven to help support a night of continual rest.
