The anxiety headaches…. Don’t even get me started. I love this ice pack because if covers yourself eyes from the lights while cooling your head (which, fun fact, in turn cools down the rest of your body). This has become a MUST in my household. Even ...

Whenever I feel overwhelmed or overstimulated I pop these bad boys in and the noise cancellation immediately helps calm me down. I am not exaggerating when I say these are my favorite headphones. If you feel unsafe having music playing with both buds...

THESE!! I’m sure you’ve heard people talk about sour candies for anxiety (which I also recommend) these help so much. The slight “spiciness” of the ginger and the soothing effect ginger has on your stomach will forever make these a nonnegotiable!!
