Feeling stressed? You are not alone. It's time to indulge in a bit of self care. What is that? It's really just the practice of protecting and promoting one's own well being and happiness. This edit of ten feel good products will add a new sense of calmness and pleasure to your life. Think chocolate!
Lavender Essential Oil
Treat your body and your senses to the healing benefits of lavender oil. I put a couple of drops in my nightly bath. The benefits are many such as it is a natural antibacterial agent, it improves mood and lessens stress, supports brain function and more. It's also VERY relaxing.
Therapy Dough
It's like play dough but for adults. I would certainly share it with my child, however. If we are stressed, the kids will be, as well. It has been blended with essential oils which makes this stress reliever also an aromatherapy experience. Squeeze that stress away!
Pomegranate Noir Home Candle
A candle can create a calmness both to your surroundings and to your senses. This is one of my favorites, which was gifted to me by my niece. It's crisp, luxurious, and bright. Love it!
I Am Everything Affirmation Cards
Words matter. So let's fill ourselves with positive affirmations. Light a candle. Shuffle the deck. Read a card, and believe it. We humans can be so hard on ourselves. Let this ritual replace self degrading and questioning thoughts with positive vibes.
Uncommon Goods
Here is an inexpensive way to get fit this year. Strong muscles are basic to good health, both physical and mental. Classic hand weights that will not slip, roll, or scratch your floors. Available in 3, 5, 8, 10, and 15 pounds. Sold individually.
Hardcover Personalized Journals
Why not try a gratitude journal this year? It's not too late to start. During difficult days, it is helpful to write down your thoughts. It is always a good thing to be grateful for whatever you have. They say the more grateful you are the more you will have in life.
Bangle Bracelet Sets for setting your daily intentions. Each bracelet is meant to set one intention for your day. Create a daily ritual by intentional thought each time you put one on. They are weatherproof, weightless. soundproof and TSA approved. "Ms. Shop This" loves the set that she received for Christmas.
My #1 self care method is to take a hot bubble bath. And what you put in your bath makes a difference. Love the names of these soaks. Don't we all need to jump on the "Peace Train" these days? These products are handmade by vulnerable people in recovery, with disabilities, and living in poverty. They use ethically sourced natural ingredients. Which should be important to all of us. Bubbles are best with soft music and a candle lit.
Nothing can lift my spirits better than a little chocolate, and I havent had any in 12 days. This chocolate has been made in small batches in Brooklyn, NY. It's dairy and gluten free, and made from certified organic cacao beans. After looking at the nutritional values, I think I can do this and still feel healthy. 42 cals per piece. And what a wonderful $25 gift to a health conscious chocolate lover, or yourself!
The Comfort of Lunya
I just discovered this wonderful website during the holidays. The company creates styles for the modern woman when she sleeps, lounge, or works from home. Think washable sink, fine pima cotton, fleece lined and organic materials. Any one of these pieces will be like a hug from you to you.
