A Helping Hand For a Friend: Sharing a Little Light This November
There’s something about November with its suddenly shorter days and greyer skies that makes us instinctively turn inward. But it’s also when we need each other most.
If you’ve been feeling the weight of the season, you’re not alone. And chances are, someone close to you is feeling it too, whether they’re saying it out loud or not.
That’s what inspired us to launch a new offer this month to go along with our newest blend arriving just in time for winter.
Give a Helping Hand To a Friend
For every pot, pouch or even sample pack of our new Hello Bliss low mood formula you order this November, you’ll receive a free 1-week sample pack to pass on to a friend who might need a little extra support.
It’s our way of helping you care for yourself and someone else in one gentle gesture.
A small act of kindness, a thoughtful moment, or a “this helped me, maybe it’ll help you too” can mean everything.

How to Support Someone (Without Taking On Too Much)
Many of us feel emotionally stretched at this time of year. You might want to be there for others but also feel your own energy is lower than usual.
And that’s okay. The goal isn’t to carry someone else’s weight, but to walk alongside them with kindness and boundaries.
Here are some simple ways to be a supportive friend, without burning yourself out:
1. Listen, without fixing
You don’t need all the answers. Just being present without trying to change how someone feels can be deeply comforting.
2. Offer something small, not everything
A message. A walk. A shared cup of tea. Supporting someone doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your own energy. Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that land the deepest.
3. Share what’s helped you
Rather than “you should try this”, consider: “This helped me feel a bit more like myself, let me know if you want to try it too.”
4. Protect your space too
You can care about someone and still protect your own time, boundaries and wellbeing. You showing up for you is part of showing up for others too.
Meet Hello Bliss: A Herbal Blend for Low Mood & Emotional Overload
Whether you’re feeling flat, emotionally heavy, or just a little off, Hello Bliss is designed to meet you right where you are and gently bring you back to yourself.
It’s a calming, non-sedating daily blend of herbs that support the nervous system, emotional balance, and the deeper layers of the heart and gut where mood lives.
Here’s what’s inside, and why:
Meadowsweet (Filipendula)
Soothes the gut and supports the mind-body connection. Many of us hold stress and emotion in our digestion, Hello Bliss helps ease the tension.
Reishi
A deeply nourishing medicinal mushroom that supports emotional resilience, immune health and long-term stress recovery.
Linden (Tilea)
Calms frazzled nerves, eases restlessness and soothes the heart, especially when mood dips come with anxiety or tension.
Rosa (Rose)
Traditionally used for grief, sadness and emotional numbness. Rose is a gentle gladdener of the heart and helps soften emotional heaviness.
Lemon Balm (Melissa)
A well-loved mood-lifting herb that calms and brightens. Supports the gut-brain connection and helps ease worry and low mood.
Calendula
A sunny lymphatic herb that helps shift emotional stagnation and gently uplifts - think of it as emotional flow support.
Rhodiola
An adaptogen that restores depleted energy, improves mental focus, and lifts emotional exhaustion without overstimulation.
Lavender (Lavendula)
Gently calms the nervous system and reduces inner tension, particularly when you’re feeling tightly wound.
Alfalfa
Rich in minerals and phytonutrients, alfalfa supports physical vitality, mood stability and gentle nourishment from within.
Saffron
A powerful botanical studied for its mood-enhancing effects. Helps lift emotional heaviness and bring brightness to the day.
This blend isn’t a quick fix to numb symptoms like its pharmaceutical equivalents. It’s a steady, quiet support to help you feel more grounded and more like you.
Kindness Is Contagious
Whether you’re offering a sample to someone who’s struggling, or just planting a seed of support, our Helping Hand For a Friend offer is about spreading a little softness in a season that can feel hard.
When we lift each other gently, one mug of tea, one herbal capsule, one kind conversation at a time - the whole season starts to feel a little lighter.
Take care of yourself. Offer care to someone else. Let’s move through these darker months together.
