Take a break and slow down this month using our tips. We hope that you get the chance to take a deep breath, let go of your worries, and relax this month! The Willow Hill Blog is featuring tips and tricks to help you let go of the stresses of daily life. Make your Puyallup, WA a stress-free zone in June.
Relaxing Scents
Sometimes creating a relaxing environment is as easy as changing up the scent of your apartment. The National Sleep Foundation has an article on The Best Scents for Relaxation and Sleep. One scent that’s sure to have you feeling calm and relaxed? Vanilla. Sleep.org writes, “This fragrance is famous for being a potent relaxer. In fact, people who smelled vanilla while completing a stress test had more stable heart rates and better blood pressure readings than those who took the stress test in an unscented room.” Click the link for information on other relaxing scents and smells.
Calming Colors
Surround yourself with calming colors! You may not be able to paint your Willow Hill apartment, but you can surround yourself with colorful furniture and decor! House Beautiful has an article on 16 Paint Colors That Give a Room a Relaxing Vibe. Buy some blue curtains, a lavender coffee table, or a grey throw pillow this month.
Soothing Spa
Make your own spa night! Basin is a one-stop shop for bath bombs, milk baths, natural facials, body scrubs, and more. We recommend trying their apricot chamomile bath bomb for a calming and soothing bath. We recommend trying their sun kissed facial to help combat any sun damage. Always remember to check the ingredients and any allergy warnings before use.
Yoga
Yoga is a great way to get your daily exercise in, stretch, and relax. Yoga Journal has a guide to different yoga poses for relieving stress. Buy your own yoga mat, take a few deep breaths, and use yoga to become a more calm and collected person.
