KELLY & COMPANY
Welcome to 2020!! It’s time to get body and mind healthy and happy and
what better way to do that than to treat your body like the temple that it
is. The place to start is Kelly & Company, An Essential Oil Experience. Not
just a pop up over-nighter with questionable products, our Kelly Swope
actually knows what she’s talking about, and her products actually work.
Let’s get the scoop!
Kelly was born and raised in Pennsylvania and grew up with an interest
in essential oils and aromatherapy. She explains it as ‘just a natural
part of me that wanted to always know more about the product and
new ideas for a better overall healthy life.’ Married and raising children,
Ralph, Courtney, Chelsea and Chloe (in that order), kept her busy. One
day she was reading a book by Mary Kay Andrews and the description of
the drive between Savannah to Tybee got her and the family in the car
and on a vacation to Tybee 15 years ago.
After Kelly completed her Aromatherapy Certification from Aromatic
Wisdom Institute, she was ready to open her own business. She found a
niche in Tybee and went for it.
Here, Kelly shares 5 ways to experience the benefits of using essential
oils, perfect for newbies and experienced veterans alike:
1. Aromatherapy Inhalers - Inhalers are easy to use and travel well.
Inside each inhaler, which is the size of a lip balm, a cotton wick is
loaded with an essential oil blend—all you need to do is remove the cap
and inhale! Head Comfort is one of Kelly’s best sellers, good for general
headaches and also for alleviating head pressure and clearing sinuses.
Other varieties include Outdoor Sensitivity (allergy season will be here
before you know it!), PMS, and Deep Sleep.
2. Soothing Muscle - Available in lotion or body oil, the Soothing Muscle
essential oil blend helps with aches and pains. The anti-inflammatory
properties of Frankincense and Cypress are combined with warming
Black Pepper and cooling Peppermint. Pairs well with a neck or body
wrap, which are filled with flaxseeds and lavender buds.
3. Sleep Products - You’ve got to sleep, and sleep well, in order to keep
on winning every day! Kelly offers a variety of products to help—inhalers,
a diffuser blend, sprays, and roll-ons. ‘Lavender is very relaxing, and has
sedative properties. It is in all of our sleep items.’ Rest, relax, and restore
when you get your best night’s sleep ever.
4. Soap - We all shower (and if you don’t, get to it). Kelly & Company uses
essential oils to scent their soap, which promote emotional balance.
5. Essential Oil Blends – ‘Essential oil blends can be used for so many
different things. If you’re feeling a bit under the weather, put some
Pirate’s Elixir in your diffuser—it’s a great immune-boosting blend. You
can use essential oils for emotional benefits, too. Some of our blends
include Calm, Focus, Motivate… the names correspond with their
purpose!’ The blends can be used in diffusers or with diffuser jewelry
(Kelly offers both in her shop), or as part of your own DIY spa day. Not
only can the right blend can help you feel better, it can also help you
understand that relaxing is an actual possibility and not just something
other people do. With your body and mind in the right frame, you are on
your way to a happier life.
Kelly’s shop also offers fun coffee cups, beachy items to make you smile
and the best t-shirts. The message in a message t-shirts are her favorite
and Tybee Happy with the BE and the HAPPY highlighted are just fun!
Kelly & Company is located at The Shoppes at 1207 Hwy 80 next to Just
a Breeze frame shop and Seaside Sisters. Stop by and see how this lady
can help you feel a better you. Why not feel uplifted, invigorated and
ready to go out and conquer the world? Or maybe just conquer the beach
walk! Feel your best always!
