Ahh February, the month of love, femininity, and of course roses.

Now when I tell you that I’m obsessed with roses, I absolutely mean it. Rose cocktails, coffee, tea, perfume, oil, chapstick, facial care, heck – even rose freakin’ deodorant. I do not kid when I say that I slightly (and by slightly, I mean definitely) am obsessed.

There is just something about it that has me hooked. The energy, the flavor, the essence – it’s truly a gift from God.

As Holistic Cocktails has been growing, so have I been learning more and more about botanical benefits and how it can help our mental health.

There are a lot of reasons that led me to Holistic Cocktails, and one of those reasons is because I wanted to boost my mental health, and gravitating to the rose was a sure indicator that it’s exactly what I need to help heal and feel deeply again.

Roses are one of those things that have so many more benefits that go beyond just the vitamins and nutrients that it’s packed with. It’s the way it makes you feel, the way the essence embodies you, and the way that it helps to ground you in the present all in the same moment.

Roses are known to boost your frequency, open your heart, increase your feminity, and boost your inner “glow“. It brings you to a spot of love, helping you to process life with deep compassion. It brings clarity and creates the space for you to feel.

One major aspect of mental health is processing how you are feeling and why you do the things you do. If you’re in a haze or fog of life going through the motions, roses can help bring you back to a space where you can observe the current moment you’re in right now. It’s grounding, yet elevating. It’s humbling, yet empowering you to take a step back and love yourself and love others with depth. 

If this sounds like something you need and are craving, I invite you to add more roses and love into your life. Even in the simplest of things, it can help bring the peace and grounding you might need in that very second. 

With my love journey (and obsession) with rose, I‘ve created a collection of rose products over the years that I’m either already in love with or am eager to try. I’ve also realized that 25% of my drinks have some sort of rose in them and can be found here.

They bring me happiness and excitement and I hope they can do the same for you. 

With lots of love xx
