There are so many reasons to be stressed these days. Work, kids being home, and many of us are less able to see friends and family that keep our spirits up. Anyone that feels depressed or has high levels of anxiety should get professional advice and see a doctor. If you are the type of person that is looking for some friendly advice, here are tips that are proven to work.
Choose bath products that make you happy when you smell them and help you relax. A smell can carry us back to a specific time and place in ways that photos and conscious thinking cannot. It’s a memory that is impossible to hang on to unless you smell it again. Scents from a vacation or our grandma’s house can summon feelings of security and love from deep in our earliest memories.
It’s no coincidence that many products geared to relaxing have lavender. Aromatherapy has been shown to have benefits in terms of stress relief and overall wellness. There are lavender sachets to put next to your bed, scented candles that can make you feel calmer during a hectic workday, and moisturizers that soothe and keep you calm.
Not all scents are created equal. Some people I know love the smell of vanilla while others can’t get enough of eucalyptus. Honestly, it’s all about personal preference and what makes you feel good. Here are some favorites that we’ve recently discovered:
Pipette Relaxing Body Lotion and Pipette Relaxing Body Wash
Designed with moms and dads in mind, Pipette’s de-stressing aromatic body wash cleanses without stripping the skin’s natural oils, leaving skin soft and smooth. The 100% plant-derived aroma is a Zen-inducing mix of citrus and geranium. Pipette’s relaxing lotion melts in instantly, adding long-lasting, weightless moisture. The calming scent of both products are perfect any time you need a quick mood boost. Although I first thought of these as bath products, I’ve been using the body lotion every time I’m feeling like I need a break. It’s been working wonders.
