10 Comfy, Soothing Products to Have the Best National Relaxation Day Ever
This Thursday, Aug. 15 is National Relaxation Day, and even through it's in the middle of the work week, we plan to celebrate in style with a dose of healthy R&R.
It's a good reminder that we can incorporate self-care into our routines any time we need it, so below, we've gathered a few of our favorite products for comfort and relaxation to improve our moods and help us get the rest we need.
The Happy Planner Classic Ditsies Guided Mood Journal: $15.99
Every day is better when you start if off with gratitude, and The Happy Planner's Classic Ditsies Guided Mood Journal teaches you how to use a journal as a means of self-expression and reflecting on what you're most grateful for. It's packed with prompts and guided highlights for introspection and tracking your moods, putting you in the right mindset to tackle anything (or spend the day resting and relaxing).

Moon Juice Magnesi-Om: $49
About half of Americans are magnesium deficient, which is a shame, because every cell in the human body needs it to function, and it's also a key mineral for supporting muscle relaxation and cognitive function. Moon Juice's Mangesi-Om is a tasty supplement in Guava, Muscat Green Grape, Blue Lemon and Berry flavors that dissolves in water to provide all of the benefits of chelated magnesium gluconate and magnesium citrate, plus calming L-theanine, to give you what the body needs and put you in a relaxed state of mind.

If you're like us and don't get to drop everything this National Relaxation Day, Nodpod BODY can still put you in a relaxed state of mind when you're working or on the go. It's a portable 25 by 30 inch weighted blanket, adding 6.5 pounds of gentle pressure wherever you need it on your body, and it's great for everything from working at your desk or driving to naptime.

Voesh Gua Sha Cleansing Bar: $19
Gua sha has been used for centuries as a way to relieve aching muscles and improve lymphatic drainage, but Voesh has reinvented the ancient practice with their Gua Sha Cleansing Bar, serving as both a gua sha and soap bar. It includes niacinamide for brightening, probiotics for strengthening the skin barrier, hydraying rosemary oil and detoxifying charcoal powder, but best of all, you can smooth away the tension with each stroke of the bar.

I Dew Care Sundae Scoop Ice Cream-Inspired Wash-Off Masks & Headband Set: $28
We also adore wash-off face masks for pampering sessions, and I Dew Care's Sundae Scoop Ice Cream-Inspired Wash-Off Masks & Headband Set is like an ice cream social for your skin. Not only is the Sprinkle Headband so cute, saving your hair in the process, but the dessert-inspired masks each serve an important purpose. The full-sized birthday cake-scented Cake My Day is a super hydrating mask with hyaluronic acid, squalane and glacier water while the mini Cookie O'Glow uses real cocoa fruit powder and cocoa seed butter to clarify skin and the mini mint chocolate chip Chill-Mo Mint cools and soothes skin with real peppermint and aloe.

eberjey Gisele TENCEL Modal Slouchy PJ Set: $148
There's nothing quite like changing into your comfiest pair of pajamas once you get home for the evening, and it'd be hard to find a set more silky-smooth than this eberjey Gisele TENCEL Modal Slouchy PJ Set. The special fibers aren't just extra soft but also temperature-regulating, and the drapey knit fabric is as flattering and beautiful as it is comfy.

Crickle Daisy Toasted Marshmallow Ain't She Sweet Scented Candle: $65
Candles are another essential, setting the scene for an extra relaxing night, and we've just fallen in love with Crickle Daisy's Toasted Marshmallow Ain't She Sweet Scented Candle. The sweet, caramelized marshmallow scent is otherworldly, filling the room with ease, and we're also big fans of the inclusion of matching wooden matches (no pun intended).

If you prefer not to vigilantly watch burning candles and your spaces have also been a little arid this summer, you may want to invest in NEOM's Wellbeing Pod for your home-fragrancing needs. This beautiful essential oil diffuser activates with the touch of a button, spreading your favorite fragrances and adding moisture to the air, with dimmable mood lighting and a breathing mode for guided moments of calm. NEOM also offers their own essential oil blends for sleep, de-stressing, mood boosts and more, or you can use any other beloved oils you already have at home.
