ENDORSEMENTS

Dear Miss Havisham,

Due to continuing insanity, this morning I ran 17km. When it started to hurt, my brain started saying helpful things like "If you turn right here, you'll be home in 2km. If you go left, you'll be home in 14km. You're turning left! Don't do it, don't do it." In order to bribe myself to continue to turn left, I started making myself promises. Some did not convince me, such as "You have to finish your run, so you can do housework." The one that convinced me to keep going was "When you finish, you can have a nice, warm bath, with some lovely Jaloux." You can only imagine how I blessed your name at the thought of a beautifully scented bath that soothes the aches away.

With fond regards,

- Emma

All the best dear Emma for the 2008 Blackmores Half-Marathon. I'll be sending suitably positive vibes out to you. Shine on you crazy diamond!

Normally I don't "write in" very much, but I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with your nightmare-soothing oil. It's as gentle as can be and has made quite a difference in my troubled night-times. Normally, you see, I talk and moan and sometimes walk in my sleep. When I started using your aromatherapy oil, I noticed my dreams were much less troubled. My significant other made the comment that amazingly, I seemed to be having better nights lately, and I explained why!

It [The Broken Range] is so beautiful, my nose has never twitched so happily before, and hyper gush... but I don't know what the hades you put in these things, but never encountered oil like this, so refreshing. I will sound mad now but why is it every other oil I've sniffed comes off slightly patchouli-ish... or has that weird, I don't know, smell spectrum of health food, nut-chewing, birkenstock grinding vibe... yet yours is so..so...

Elegant.

That's the word! Elegant. And it just blended well with my usual perfume...like a proper lady slipping in noticeably but without crass flash.

I did want to say thank you for the package, it arrived safe and sound and has been making my sleep a great deal more pleasant over the last few days.It truly does help me reach a point where I can turn off my mind, and well, as I have said, considering how picky I am with scents ... thank you, gratefully and with feeling.

Here is a drawing for you as a demonstration of a peaceful rest finally achieved

Darling, I LOVE the product!
Thank you So much!
I have just gone and blogged about it all, raving.
I really appreciate that you've got good stuff here!
So much so-called scent has funky packaging or cute copywriting but the actual juice is synthetic...

I have been using it [Nightmare Range] every night and am having more insightful dreams. And, believe me, I NOTICE such things.
They’re more purposefully directed for psychological insight – I have had slightly waffly dreams for months but you have fixed it!"

After a night of 80's music, dancing, crimped hair and free drink vouchers - I knew I was going to be in trouble the next day - sure enough awoke with a rather pesky headache and a bad day-after crimp in my hair - but what should I see sitting on my antique dressing table as I rubbed my still slightly mascara smeared eyes but a bottle of Miss Havisham's roll on 'Nightmares' oil - a dab on the temples and behind the neck did wonders for me, this combined with a single panadol completely cured my headache and slight nausea. Now all I had to do was wash that crimp out of my hair and I was ready to get on with my day!

Thank you Miss Havisham. You might be the "grim lady" living in a "large and dismal house" but you sure know how to cure a hangover!

I was doing an all day workshop on Genetic Epidemiology in Melbourne. I'd had 3 hours sleep the night before, had to catch a flight to Melbourne at 6am and the head cold just topped everything off.

By the time I hit 2pm my brain was toast despite the 10+ coffees I'd poured into it. To make things infinitely worse the person sitting next to me had the worst case of BO I've experienced.

Remembering that I had some of you nightmare soothing roll on I quietly administered it on my wrists and neck. This dispensed with my headache within minutes and increased my focus and concentration. Most importantly it completely blocked the appalling BO from the person next to me.
