2020 began with a bang and it hasn’t let up since. We have experienced a global disruption of life. Think of all that we have gone through together.

The Cause

1. It started with the tragic deaths of legendary Los Angeles Lakers Basketball star Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and their friends in a helicopter crash.
2. We were quickly ushered into the coronavirus pandemic.
3. Political tension arose after the presidential election.
4. Racial strains divided our country after the murder of George Floyd and the Asian hate crimes.
5. Many people lost jobs due to the shut down and businesses closing.
6. The global death rate reached unbelievable heights.
7. The deliverance of the vaccine caused uncertainty and more division.
8. We must never forget the toilet paper craze. Incidentally, it’s back on a smaller scale.
9. Floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters have created more discomfort.

Any one of these alone would produce stress and anxiety. Generally, there is a point of recovery from one event to the next. Unfortunately, these events were stacked upon each other with no break between them. There’s no need to wonder why the anxiety rate has dramatically increased.

A Beginning to Self Recovery

Thank goodness for a rock created long before our existence. Have you seen the beautiful rosy-hue stone, rose quartz? Its use has been dated back to 7000 BC. Roman and Egyptian women utilized it for muscle tension and for peace and calmness. Rose quartz properties are known to inspire inner love.

And that’s where I come into the picture. I am ever so grateful that our Jafra brand uses the best from nature to provide beauty and wellness products. Enter JAFRA Essence Inner Love, a collection of 4 products that brings balance and tranquility. The line promotes love and friendship. When you have inner love for yourself, you are able to healthily give love to family, friends, and others.

The Products

I have experienced the Inner Love collection since its launch, August 2021. It is quite relaxing. But here is the “what came first, the chicken or the egg” philosophical question. Do I have more inner love because I am using the collection or am I using the collection because I already have inner love for myself? Hmm… Really, it doesn’t matter which cycle you jump onto for self-love. The important thing is to do it.

• Wash away environmental stressors and moisturize with the rose quartz inspired Shower Gel with Rosehip Oil. The aroma will lift your spirits.
• Slough off dead skin with the Pink Himalayan Bath Salts. Pour a hand-full into a warm bath and relax for 20 – 60 minutes. Enhance the experience with candles and soothing music. Or for a quick experience, use in the shower. Lather with the Inner Love Shower Gel with Oil then sprinkle the Inner Love Bath Salts into your hands and gentle massage over skin. Ahh..the aroma will capture your attention and the magnesium in the salts help with nerve function and reduces inflammation.
• Enjoy the calming energy as you deeply hydrate your skin with the rich Body Butter. This is made of shea butter and vitamin E to condition your skin as it relieves stress.
• Finally, keep the calming composure for hours with the Jafra Essence Inner Love Eau de Toilette. This, as well as the shower gel, bath salts, and body butter is composed of cardamom, fresh white flowers, and sensual musk.

JAFRA Essence Inner Love collection makes a fabulous gift to yourself or to give to someone who desires more relaxation. I don’t know who doesn’t want that. However, if you or someone you know is experiencing higher anxiety levels or depression, please seek professional help from a counselor, doctor, or clergyperson.
