The Ultimate At-Home Relaxation Experience with Aveda

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

One of the most paramount, and personal, lifestyle choices that I've made for my life, has been to consciously choose to do one thing a day to celebrate my self. I made the deliberate choice to seek joy and happiness in every experience that comes my way.

The trick to really enjoying this practice and doing one thing a day for your self, is realizing that they can be very small, yet joyful, things, and they don't have to break the bank. The things that I do to celebrate myself on a daily basis range from taking a bubble bath, taking 30 minutes to watch my favorite TV show, cooking my favorite meal, reading my favorite magazines, treating myself to a cupcake, writing a love letter to myself, taking the time to meditate, calling my best friend, and so on. 

The single most powerful insight that has come out of practicing this daily ritual of seeking joy has been realizing the power of gratitude. And one thing that I'm super grateful for is Aveda. They provide so many at-home relaxation experiences that have fundamentally helped me shift the way I think and live. Below are a few at-home relaxation Aveda products that I love and I hope they bring joy, happiness, and relaxation to you as well.
