CALM FOR THE HOLIDAYS - Colonial Candle

CALM FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Let's face it, no matter how exciting it is, the holidays can be chaotic and overwhelming. Acknowledge the chaos and embrace a new tradition of tranquility. Despite the upcoming festivities being a special time to reconnect with family and friends, the new normal has left us stressed out. Find special moments even though things haven't gone as planned.
Before the holiday chaos starts and you are presented with a dizzying array of demands, schedule a bit of 'me' time every day. Take some time out for yourself; it could just be taking a bath, lighting a scented jar candle, doing something that will give you peace of mind. Give yourself the gift of relaxation without distractions; this will invigorate you, reduce anxiety, relieve your mind, and restore inner calm.
Get into the spirit of the holiday season, leaving out all of the pressure and noise associated with it. Aromas, like geranium, lavender, oak, and Patchouli, have proven to calm and soothe the mind.

Unwind With Wick for National Relaxation Day - Colonial Candle

Unwind With Wick for National Relaxation Day

In 1985, fourth-grader, Sean Moeller came up with the idea of National Relaxation Day. And who would know better about forgetting responsibilities for day than a 9 year-old? Sean suggested that people shouldn’t do anything of real value on this holiday. He told his idea to his grandfather, William D. Chase, who was the founder of Chase’s Calendar of Events. The event stuck and is still an annual holiday every August 15th.

Most people associate relaxation with hitting the spa for a massage, sauna or steam room. But there’s also relaxation in simple tranquil moments such as going for a walk, lighting a candle, going for a run, laying in the sun, sitting in a park, smelling lavender, doing Tai Chi, yoga, taking the time to just stretch, or setting a timer and sitting silently for 5 minutes and concentrating on long slow mindful breaths. Or maybe you spend the day focused on gratitude and on all the things to be grateful for.

Just like National Relaxation Day, our Sweet Pea candle is only available for a limited time. Enjoy one while they last and let your stress melt away as the delicate aroma fills your room. However you choose to relax, may you find some zen on National Relaxation Day.
