My "Calm Down Kit"

I apologize for my absence yesterday, but I'm back babes! I had a busy weekend plus I wasn't feeling too great on Monday. I had a major headache- which often times (for me) comes from stress and not getting enough rest. I usually allow myself to get pretty stressed out over little things! I know it's bad but I try not to let the small stuff bother me (For instance: Someone squeezing into a tiny seat next to me on the train).

I recently had the opportunity to try Origins Peace of Mind On-the-Spot relief (Limited Edition). Its a cream lotion ($10) that promises to melt away tension and stress. All you have to do is apply two small dabs to the back of your neck, temples and earlobes. The first time I tried this I only applied it to the back of my neck (at the end of a long day, the back of my neck usually feels tight)- This was the wrong thing to do! The cream causes a slight tingling sensation, and, well, it felt like I got slapped on the back of the neck instead.
*Just FYI- Origins will donate $35,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation from sales of Peace of Mind On-the-spot relief sold in North America.

Now, what I do is apply the cream to all three pressure points and then spray my face with the Evian Brumisateur. I know, it sounds like too much drama to be going through but when I feel like my day is closing in on me, it does help to provide a refreshing and invigorating feeling (the cream has a soft peppermint-y scent).

The bottle is very tiny and so is my Evian Brumisateur spray- I keep them both at the bottom of my over-sized purse.

What's in your "kit"? What helps you stay calm, cool & collective?
