All You Need: Rest & Relaxtion

After weeks of cramming for finals, finishing projects, coordinating events, planning travels, and entertaining guests I felt like I was going literally going to break into pieces. All the pressure was beginning to take a toll on my mental and even physical health. My shoulders had knots everywhere, tension headaches wrecked havoc on my social life, and my legs hurt so bad I started taking the elevator to my econ class on the, ahen, second floor. Then one night, I just couldn't take anymore. 3 o'clock in the morning the day of my Art History 8 a.m. final  and I find myself desperately raiding the bathroom cabinets for toilet paper when it catches my eye. Like an oasis in the desert, there sat my Lush Sex Bomb. I drew a bath and plopped the little ball in. Within moments my entire bathroom filled with a beautifully delicate, warm, romantic scent that had my worries instantly melting away. The pink water, scorching hot, soothed my aches while my skin seriously tingled. I relaxed. And my beauty life has never been the same! Honestly, I've always been a sucker for calming aromatherapy scents (I don't go anywhere without my Johnson&Johnson's Melt Away) and this bath bomb takes the cake as my all time favorite. If you need some serious R&R, try other aromatherapy based "me-time" products! Look for herbals such as Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, and Eucalyptus. I've given some of my favorite products to help you shopinistas out! I hope this article brings you peace, love, & happiness!*

The first thing that attracted me to this when I was browsing Lush was the name. I know, typical ;-) I loved it so much the first time I picked up another one the next day at work and just did it two nights ago to make sure I still liked it enough to brag on. Here's what it does~

There were even rose petals left behind.... better than most men! #swearbyit !!! I got out of that tub feeling soooo readyyy to snuggle up and drift off to a fabulous nights rest! 

Here are some other products I'm fascinated with for working out my kinks! 

(Clockwise)

1. Lush Sex Bomb, $6.45 

2. L'Occtaine Jasmine Eau de Parfum, $66.00   Smelled this only once in store but can't wait to go buy!

3. Smith's Rosebud Salve, $5   Been using since high school. Keeps lips soft as can be!

4. Johnson & Johnson's Melt Away Stress Collection, $5-13   Like I mentioned, I carry the travel size with me everywhere! 

5. Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum, $16   I saw this at Sephora last week and I'm desperate to try! Does anyone know if it's good?!

4. ScentBug Oil Warmer, $13  Mine is hot pink! My sister and I have matching lol. The black is timeless. You have to get little oil pad things to accompany and they run $4 for I use this EVERY DAY when I do my homework and when I'm blogging! It's a simple, cost efficient way to relax at any time. 

5. Aura Cacia Lavender Essential Oil, $5   I found these at a local vitamin shoppe.  Work really well with the scentbug!

6. Aura Cacia Ylang Ylang Essential Oil, $5  

7. Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo, $30    My good friend Andrea brought this on spring break and I couldn't resist trying it.  My dad has always been an Aveda men's line fan and he's pushed the products on me for a while. However, this is the first product I have found myself recommending to friends. I use it only when I'm looking to get a really oil free clean because it tends to dry out locks. Smell is intoxicating! 

8. Juicy Couture Mood Ring, $45   Ok so this wont actually de-stress your soul but it is SUPER adorable!!

Enjoy your summer ladies! Don't forget to stop and smell the roses<3 *Bisous*
