Alright, confession time: I’m hurtling into a month so chaotic, that my brain can’t even process it. Between endless deadlines and trying not to lose my mind, I’ve resorted to wellness products. Do they magically transform me into a mindful, calm goddess? Absolutely not. But they make it look like I’ve got my life together, and that’s half the battle, right? Oh, and let’s not forget the small matter of me unwinding with my fave romance—read: smut—novels. Yep, that’s the level of ‘mindfulness’ I’m operating at.
Here’s what’s getting me through the madness:
SEREKO Calming Pen
So here’s the thing: I’m not really one for breathing exercises or counting backwards from ten. Instead, I whip out this genius little calming pen and inhale deeply, as my sanity depends on it (because it does). It’s got a blend of essential oils that do something, and suddenly I’m a tiny bit less feral. A literal pen of peace. Take it with you everywhere.

Secret Alchemist Sleep Roll-On
When the world gets too much and I’m wound up like a spring, I reach for this roll-on. It’s like the universe tucked lavender, chamomile, and tranquillity into a neat little bottle just for me. One swipe and my brain actually slow down long enough for me to fall asleep. Plus, it smells like I’m floating on a cloud, which is the only place I want to be at 2 AM.

Shower Steamers from Unplugged Beauty
Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my steamy, shower aromatherapy session, courtesy of these divine little pellets. Just pop one of these shower steamers at the base of the shower and let the eucalyptus and minty goodness envelop you. The best part? No bathtub required.

Kama Ayurveda Pure Lavender Water
Lavender water is basically me trying to cheat my way into looking like I have it all together. I spritz this on my face when I’m stressed, tired, or just need to pretend I’m fancy. It smells like a spa and makes me look like I’ve just had eight hours of uninterrupted, blissful sleep. (Spoiler: It isn’t going to happen.)

Seva Home X Bobo Calcutta: Limited Edition Candle & Diffuser Gift Set
Gift-getting is my love language. Even if that gift is for myself. I saw this and added it to the cart and now it gives me peace on my mantle. Yes, I gave myself a gift set, let’s move along. Bobo Calcutta’s wild, colourful prints? Love it. The scents? Heavenly. It’s like they looked into my chaotic soul and said, “Here, calm down.” I light this baby up, and suddenly, the world feels a little less like it’s on fire.

Comfier Electric Head Massager
Let’s get real for a second—when life’s too much (and it usually is), nothing beats a head massage (and a hair wash, but that can’t be a product pick right?). This thing vibrates, kneads, and practically sings lullabies to my head. It’s like a personal masseuse, but one that doesn’t talk and lets you scroll Instagram while it works.
Available here.
111Skin Sub-Zero De-Puffing Energy Mask
Whether I’m dealing with 5 AM wake-ups or staying up too late reading (again), this mask is my saviour. It de-puffs, it energises, and it makes me look like I have my life together even when I’m holding it together by a thread.
Available here.
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray
Yes, another product for sleep. Do you see a theme here? Yes, this is a self-note for me to sleep more. I don’t know what they’ve put in this spray, but it’s magic. A few spritzes on my pillow, and falling asleep is that much easier. Honestly, if you’ve been tossing and turning in bed, this is the wellness fairy dust you didn’t know you needed. Sleep deprivation? I do know her, but not over the weekends once I spray this baby UP!

There we go—my survival kit for a very busy month of pretending to be zen while clinging to my wellness products like they’re the last lifeboat on the Titanic. If these don’t keep me grounded, well, there’s always next month, right?
