Relax, take it easy

Happy Relaxation Day

26/07/2022

Summers are for slowing down. What better time to embrace Il dolce far niente than on Relaxation Day? On August 15, we celebrate this unofficial holiday by unplugging and unwinding. Does the idea of doing nothing stress you out? Ease into it with our brands to relax your mind, your body and your soul.

Our hectic lifestyles in this fast-paced world demand a lot of juggling: a career, family, social responsibilities… All work and no play not only makes us dull, but also stressed. And since stress is really harmful to our body, it’s important to take it easy once in a while.

Let Relaxation Day set the example for many more stress-free moments where you take a step back, inhala and exhale, and let the day float by. Since everybody unwinds differently, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite tried-and-true ways to cultivate calm.

Relax your mind

Selfcare saviours

Put your phone on airplane mode, hit the play button on your favorite soothing playlist, and unwind your mind by treating yourself to some serious selfcare.

Ganō Care harnesses the natural power of hemp for calming and relaxing effects. Soothe your senses by taking in a few drops of the natural Ganō Re.LAX oil, enforced with CBG & CBD, and pamper your skin with Ganō’s activated facial cream. Slather your body in Lierac’s body milk and remineralizing anti-fatigue cream. Nothing says relaxed like hydrated, rejuvenated and glowing skin. Don’t forget to show your hands some extra TLC with the hand and nail cream from Jowaé or Roger&Gallet.

Relax your body

Make yourself at home: comfy seating

If you’re always on the go, you might want to spend Relaxation Day on the couch with your favorite magazines and movies. No judging here. Transform your home into a haven of relaxation with a comfy couch and cosy cushions by La Redoute and BoConcept. And guess what? They’re perfect to cuddle up on.

Dress for less stress

Goodbye stiff denim, hello lounge and athleisure wear! Slip into something more comfortable with these soft fabrics and loose fits, and let the feelgood party begin. Short shorts (CKS or Sun68), sweatpants (GUESS Active), a sweater (BRAX) to chillax in, velour bootcut pants (Imprevu) or a floral kimono (Améline by Mayerline)? The choice is yours. Doing absolutely nothing has never been more stylish.

Relax your soul

Stop and smell the flowers

Take time to appreciate the world around you and indulge in nature’s finest smells. Bring in the aromatherapy to boost your mood!

Ganō’s scented Cannabis Candles are made from 100% natural ingredients and are enriched with terpenes derived from Cannabis Sativa L. As they burn, the natural terpenes fill the room for optimal 'terpene aromatherapy' and, unlike scented candles with artificial perfumes, these scents won’t harm your health.

Juttu’s Paddywax scented sticks and Roger&Gallet’s soap take your senses on an olfactory adventure. Roger&Gallet’s sunny perfume Néroli brings a soothing scent of orange blossom that transports you to the South of France, with sweet honeyed aromas and spicy green notes. The perfect balance to relax the mind and soothe the senses. Say goodbye to all your anxieties.
