Create Your Own Calm

Today's the day, and many of us are tied up in knots. Staying calm in any situation is an art, and one that I have been working on. Calmness does make everything better. This post is filled with self soothing ideas for each of life's situations, beyond election day.

Osea Vagus Nerve Pillow Mist

I have used pillow mists before, and they are comforting. This one is always at the top of pillow mist lists. It's a botanical blend of oils like avocado, apricot, and jojoba. The all natural essential oil scents of lavender, chamomile, and lemon, destress the mind and relaxes the senses. Sounds delightful. 

Nordstrom and Osea Malibu

The Martini Emotional Bath Soak

A great gift idea for anyone who is stressed out. "It's formulated with premium Epsom and Himalayan salts plus an array of botanicals including valerian, passionflower and chia seed oil. It also contains essential oils of frankincense, myrrh and sandalwood." #cleanbeauty
