We all have stress, but we all cope differently. Sometimes we have an extra glass of wine, sometimes we eat things we know we shouldn’t, and sometimes when things get particularly frenetic, we bite our nails (horrible, we know). Amidst all of last week’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week brouhaha, we got a pitch about some survival kit essentials which included 21 Drops De-Stress essential oil blend—and although we followed each and every show from afar, we knew we needed to give this natural approach to stress management a try.
Packed with a blend of frankincense, lavender, ylang ylang and chamomile essential oils, this roll-on aromatherapy was created to calm nerves, relieve tension and mitigate the effects of stress on our bodies. After applying to our wrists, temples and the sides of our neck, we took a few deep breaths and gave the oil a change to work its magic. And, yes, we felt a bit more relaxed after taking a time out. Then, we promptly tossed the adorable vial into our bag so we have it on hand the next time we find ourselves in a stressful situation, which we have a feeling will be sooner rather than later.
So tell us, how do you de-stress? Mediation, yoga, hard liquor?
