To help you out, we’re taking you through five ways to relax, help you unwind, and take care of yourself.

>>> Take a soak >>> Big Dipper Mineral Bath by Bathing Culture
Taking a bath is often considered the ultimate for relaxation, so if you’re lucky enough to have a tub, you should indulge! You can turn off the harsh, unforgiving lights and light candles to change the space from being a boring bathroom into a cozy sanctuary. Add some salts, like these that feature a blend of Himalayan salts, Dead Sea salts, green sea clay, and jojoba oil, making you feel like you took the hot springs home right to your own bathroom.

>> Get Cozy >>> Maze Black + Pewter Throw by Happy Habitat
After the bath, when you’re in that dreamy relaxation mode, keep it going by curling up on the sofa with a cozy throw. Throws are great to keep around on the back of the couch or the foot of your bed – not only do they offer warmth when needed, they add a design element to any space they’re in. Pick one with your favorite colors or one that makes a bold statement, either way, you can’t go wrong when it’s time to curl up and get cozy.
