    33 Soothing Things To Get You Through Mercury Retrograde

    Because we could all use some relief.

    1. A suprisingly effective migraine stick to free yourself from splitting migraines with the help of peppermint, spearmint, and lavender therapeutic grade oils.

    2. A luxurious foaming lavender bath you can soak in after the world dances on your nerves. This'll turn you into the Abominable Sudman while soothing your spirits with pure Epsom salt.

    3. A pair of cozy wool socks because you're never completely warm without them, am I right? As Cardi B said, "A 🙊 never gets cold."

    4. A white noise machine to tune out disturbances in a very noisy world while you're in bed.

    5. A tea sampler box because a warm stream of leaf water really goes a long way on a tough day. All of these are delicious but my favorites are the lavender, jasmine, and blueberry blends.

    6. A satin pillowcase that you'll never have to turn over because it's always *fresh*. This one is so much easier on skin and hair than cotton. It's puppy-approved too 🐶!

    7. A deep mattress topper in case your mattress feels more like a rock lately than anything else. If you wake up sore, the memory foam can help relieve your pressure points.

    8. A calming face roller because it'll help your serums penetrate so much deeper. I love storing mine in the fridge so it's nice and cold when I need it.

    9. A conveniently portable massage gun to help alleviate aches and pains that keep you in agony. It penetrates 60% deeper than a typical vibration device to increase blood flow and relieve discomfort.

    10. A bed tray in case you're prone to getting stuck in bed. This'll hold a light breakfast and your laptop during morning meetings. There's even a small drawer for utensils!

    11. A cuddly body pillow because nothing compares to all-around support — especially if you're pregnant.

    12. Or a pillow that slides perfectly between your knees to relieve your pressure points while you sleep. As a side sleeper myself, I definitely notice a difference when sleeping with a pillow like this.

    13. A time-marked water bottle so you don't have to go back and forth from the sink every hour just to stay hydrated. It's got a wide mouth to make cleaning and refilling a breeze.

    14. A chunky knit Bearaby Cotton Napper that's as beautiful as it is calming. Heavier blankets can also provide benefits believed to help some people with stress and anxiety.

    15. A notebook where you can journal affirmations, vent, and jot down goals.

    16. Or a high-quality weighted faux fur blanket that feels just like a warm hug ⛄️.

    17. A bed and linen spray to teleport you straight to the beach each time you jump in bed for peak relaxation.

    18. A picturesque linen duvet set so you can get that relaxed look that's all over your Instagram explore page. Quince's linen doesn't shed like crazy and I look forward to diving in every night.

    19. And a set of microfiber sheets that have over 55,000 🤯 5-star reviews because they're soft, light, and breathable.

    20. A voice-controlled Bose Smart Speaker 500 so you can really run your home without moving. I tell my assistant to play music, turn on my air purifiers, change the color of my lights, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

    21. An inner strength set with jasper, carnelian, and tiger eye that are said to help with endurance. If you need a little something to boost your energy, self-esteem, and light a fire in you, try these.

    22. A calming sleep salve to ease your weathered spirit after a rough day of existing in 2021. Just massage this lavender, chamomile, and lemon-infused balm onto your body and let it put you to sleep.

    23. An invigorating soy candle for anyone who needs some inspiration during these trying times. Lemongrass and vanilla notes will softly awaken their senses while refreshing the room.

    24. A fuzzy two-piece sweater-and-shorts knit set to live in until, well, forever. You'll be wearing these around the house and everywhere else for the foreseeable future — trust me.

    25. A pair of fleece slippers so plush, you just might trade your favorite pumps for a pair of these every blue moon. I mean, you'll basically be walking on a memory foam cloud.

    26. A pre-folded satin scarf to wear to bed, or as a stylish accessory. It's great for retaining moisture, which has helped preserve my precious edges.

    27. An all-weather cotton robe for strolling around the house post-shower or whenever you don't feel like wearing clothes.

    28. A Horti subscription to regularly deliver vibrant plants that'll brighten your day and windowsill. Unlike most companies, they'll also send a pot and soil for when your babies outgrow their home.

    29. A knitted sweater dress you'll love to dress up for work or down for dinner. Made of ultra-soft merino wool, it's on the looser-fitting side, which is why I love wearing it.

    30. A gentle toner to rebalance and hydrate your face after you've dried out your skin. When you're done, recycle the bottle for 15% off of your next BeautyStrike purchase.

    31. A Squatty Potty for those whose digestive functionality is, regrettably, MIA. It just helps everything ~flow~ better.

    32. A face steamer to open your pores and make every product extra effective. Plus, there's nothing like a face steam on a dreary Monday morning.

    33. A 100% natural soy wax candle that's specifically designed to take care of pet-related smells. Now Fido's presence will be announced with a bark and not a stench.
