Give the gift of relaxation this year because let’s face it, 2020 has been rough. I don’t know about you, but my stress levels have consistently been through the roof. From being pregnant during a pandemic to losing my mother as well as my grandmother and being unable to attend the funerals. My little family has been isolated on an island over 3,000 miles away from our major support systems. Similarly, I know that many people have lost family members, canceled weddings, or have been quarantined in unhealthy environments. Because of that, I think we could all use the gift of relaxation right about now.
Here is the ultimate list to help you give the gift of relaxation this year.

Give the Gift of Relaxation…. to Yourself!
Oops, how did two of these end up in the shopping cart?! Don’t forget to add an extra relaxing item (or more!) into your cart to treat yo’self! Since you’ve also endured 2020, you deserve a little relaxation as well. You cannot pour from an empty cup. With that logic, gifting yourself relaxation helps you increase others’ relaxation as well. Who can say no to that?
