EDITOR'S NOTE
My hope for today’s newsletter is for it to feel like a joyful, welcome distraction, a brief moment of you-time, or an easy escape whenever needed. Today, we're covering products our editors turn to during tense moments. Here are some of my current favorites:
These sparkling waters packed with calming adaptogens
This body balm for muscle tension

Flewd’s Bath Soak Bundles
Get three of the stress-crushing magnesium soaks for just under $30.
Margo here. My obsession for the last few months has been these bath soaks from Flewd. They helped me stave off body aches when I had COVID-19 in August, and they come in handy when I feel overstimulated and need help falling asleep. They have eight times the amount of magnesium than other soaks on the market, so effects can be felt in just 15 minutes. Baths are my favorite budget-friendly self-care practice, so grab three soaks for less than the price of a pedicure.

(Not So) Silly Little Treat
In our series (Not So) Silly Little Treat, Skimm’rs share the joy-sparking products they’re buying during the week. Today’s submission? A $5 candle from Target:
“I’m all about using aromatherapy to unwind and brighten my mood. Lately, one of my go-tos has been this candle from Target. There’s just something about the eucalyptus scent that instantly quiets my mind, while the lavender notes feel like a warm blanket. I’m stocking up on more as we speak.” —Sarai Thompson, Senior Social Media Manager
