For the Girls that Deal with Overstimulation
15
items This list is for the girls (ME) who sometimes feel the world just gets a little too loud, too bright, or too much. This list has calming tools and cozy things to create a safe, grounded vibe. I've added things from Loop earbuds and lavender steamers that turn your shower into a mini spa. Perfect for anyone who needs a reset, whether you’re winding down after work, protecting your peace in public, or just making your space a little gentler...

Calming Drink Mixes
Calming non alcoholic drinks
I love Nello Supercalm. I'm not a huge drinker so it's a good alcohol alternative.
Nello Supercalm Raspberry Lemonade Drink Mix
U relax is another alcohol alternative. It naturally helps you to wind down without the side effects.
Ü Relax | Kava Drink | Relaxation On Demand
A nighttime fave that's soothing and cozy, and actually makes me look forward to winding down. Kinda like a warm hug in a mug before bed.
MoonBrew Nighttime Magnesium Hot Cocoa
A canned calming drink that so easy and convenient
Recess Drink
Night Time Wind Down
After a day of activity (stimulation), these items help calm my body and brain
The ultimate “do not disturb”. Blocks out the light, feels super soft on your skin, and makes sleep feel way more luxe. Perfect for nights when you need extra rest or naps in the middle of the day.
BeeVines 2 Pack Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask
Literally like a cozy hug you didn’t have to ask for. The weight gentle and it helps calm nerves. Helps me fall asleep after a busy day.

Turn your shower into a mini spa. Just drop one in and the lavender steam instantly calms you down. My go-to when I need to relax but don’t have time for a full self-care day.

The whole Stress Relief line is amazing
Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Stress Relief Candle
Anxiety Relief When Out
These items help me when I am out and about
Loop earbuds help so much with my sound sensitivity. I was wearing my AirPods with no audio. Loop made a much better option for the overstimulation. You can still hear the outside world, just toned down.
Loop Earplugs
These sweats are weighted. It’s like being wrapped up in a comfortable blanket. They definitely have a calming affect. Great for flights or working the night shift.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Calming Items and Practices
From lighting, to alarm clocks to writing practices that ease anxiety
Probably one of my favorite purchases that help with overstimulation. Lighting can be mood changing. These are great for the bedroom or even the bathroom.
Philips Hue
This helped soooo much with dealing with grief. I could not sleep. My best friend bought me a Hatch Restore. It was such a big help. I especially like the sleep stories.
Restore 3 - Smart Sound Machine Alarm Clock
Sometimes I’m anxious but I still have things that I have to do. A to-do list helps so much. I don’t have to rely on my memory (which can be unreliable when I’m anxious).
Happy Kind To Do List Notepad - 6.5x9.8, 60 Sheets
Believe the hype! Get some color pencils. So for me, it helps calm my brain because I have to focus on this one activity.

When you need to sit and color, these are perfect
