    37 Practical Things To Help Stave Off The Sunday Scaries

    And the Monday scaries...and Tuesday scaries...just all the scaries.

    1. A soft weighted blanket you'll want to live under for the entire weekend. Meant to simulate being held, reviewers have noted this weighted blanket helps ease anxiety and promote sleep.

    2. A weekly to-do list notepad that allows you to see all the things you have to do next week (and next week, too) so you can plan your days accordingly. And maybe when you've checked everything off, you can treat yourself? (Yes, you deserve it.)

    3. A ceramic travel mug with an attachable tea infuser if you know you won't have time to enjoy your English breakfast tea at home. It'll also keep your drink hot for up to three hours!

    4. Or a luxe travel mug that reads "boss babe" because after that second cup of coffee, you'll be ready to run everything.

    5. A mood-setting 7 p.m. candle and a refreshing 9 a.m. candle to help make your nights feel more liberating and then put a springy pep in your step in the mornings.

    6. A dimmable desktop ring light so at least you know that you'll look good during your early morning Zoom meeting...and your mid-afternoon Zoom meeting...oh, and that last minute Zoom meeting you'll get an invite for at 5:30.

    7. An adjustable sunrise alarm clock that'll gently wake you up with sunlight and your choice of nature sounds. Start the day with ease and comfort so you are grounded when the day speeds up!

    8. A five-pack of glass food storage containers because investing in doing meal prep on the weekends means less time to stress about what to eat throughout the week. And each container has two compartments so you can mix up each meal!

    9. A variety pack of Recess sparkling water for anyone seeking some flavored calm and clarity. This hemp-infused sparkling water is mixed with real fruit juice to naturally help relieve you of stress.

    10. A set of round acne patches or extra-large square acne patches loaded with zit-shrinking hydrocolloid and tea tree oil, because the last thing you need is to wake up to an unwelcomed blemish.

    11. An aroma diffuser designed to act as both diffuser *and* humidifier, creating cool, fragrant mists that will make the dreariest of days feel like a spa day. Plus it looks like marble so it'll complement any room it's in.

    12. A dry erase calendar so you can stay ~up to date~ on all of your appointments, deadlines, meetings, to-do lists, so you don't have to worry about something important slipping through the cracks. Just make sure to throw some self-care days on there, too.

    13. A luxuriously oversized temperature-regulating blanket made of eight layers of 100% muslin cotton so soft, you'll easily drift off to sleep on Sunday nights. The real question is whether you'll be too comfy to get out of bed Monday morning...

    14. A pack of shower steamers that'll fizz and diffuse, filling your shower with refreshing and rejuvenating fragrances as they mingle with the steam. Yes, your bathroom is now an aromatherapy sauna. Wait, is that a thing?
