Bouts of stress and anxiety sneak up on all of us, but we’ve made it our mission not to let them beat us down. When we start to feel panicked or antsy, we try to take inventory of the situation and focus on gaining perspective. It might sound counterintuitive, but we’ve discovered that the easiest way to de-stress is to be prepared. For us, that means having the right wellness products at our disposal so that all we need to focus on is breathing and taking care of ourselves.
Ahead, we curated a collection of items POPSUGAR editors rely on during moments of self-care. We also sought guidance and recommendations from wellness experts for the products they reach for to restore balance and rekindle their inner selves. Our recommendations encompass an array of items, from weighted blankets and sleep-enhancing essentials to supplements and spa-worthy bath products. So what are you waiting for?
