When you find yourself saying, “Serenity now…”

The past week or so has been a bit stressful for me (OK, who am I kidding? The past year has been beyond overwhelming.) I try to meditate as much as possible and medicate as little as possible, but sometimes an email or a phone call while I’m at my desk working is enough to incite a minor freak-out. And without Jurlique’s Calming Blend Aromatherapy Mist, I may have gone over the edge—more than once.

This multitasking spray features a relaxing mix of lavender and grapefruit to chill you the F out naturally. The directions say to close your eyes and mouth and spray over your head and inhale deeply. Even more, you can spray it around the room to infuse your entire space with its aromatherapy benefits, and you can also use it on your pillow and sheets to promote relaxation when you get into bed at the end of a long stressful day.

Maybe it’s the aromatherapy, or maybe it’s just taking a few moments to stop what I’m doing and take a few deep breaths, but it’s calming effects have me contemplating buying the essential oil version for my diffuser. Although I usually light a candle when spending a chunk of time in my office, I’m thinking this would be more beneficial for my state of mind--which is in dire need of improvement! I mean, whose isn't?
