Sometimes we look around our home and there is so much we want to change, that it can become quite stressful. Equally, sometimes our homes have recently undergone so much change that when we are finally happy with them, we feel a bit lost and forget how to enjoy the simplest pleasures our home can offer us. Here are a few simple things you can do in your home to help you to feel more relaxed and to de-stress.
Become a plant parent to indoor plants!
Plants have so many health benefits, they look great and can really style a corner of the home you're not quite sure what to do with. They offer a sense of calm whilst also a wonderful feeling of achievement when you look after them and help them to reach their full potential.
Plants can:
- Lower levels of anxiety.
- Increase attentiveness and memory.
- Increase productivity.
- Reduce stress levels and boost mood.
- Spark creativity.

Invest in a wax burner
Candles are out, wax melts are in! For an affordable and lasting scent, treat yourself to some wax melts from an independent seller. I promise you, you'll be amazed by how calm you feel with one on the go. Be sure to use an 8hr tea-light and your house will be smelling amazing for at least 4 or 5 hours after it finishes burning too! I recently bought some Snow Fairy scented wax melts from an Etsy seller and my house smelt EDIBLE. Yes, I wanted to eat my house!
Bath salts
Is there really anything more relaxing than a bath? Yes, yes there is... a bath with bath salts. Go for Epsom or Magnesium and you'll be so relaxed. It really is possible to wash away your worries from the day when you have a salted bath.
An Egg Chair
Ok, it is still Summer -after all invest in an egg chair, or even a nice comfortable patio set and eat your breakfast in your garden or on your balcony. It's the most perfect way to start your day, unless of course it's pouring with rain!
