Self-care products to help you relax during this election cycle

There's no getting around it: Election time is stressful.

With constant political texts, commercials, social media posts and a 24/7 news cycle, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and thus important to take extra time for yourself to rest and recharge.

You can do those things for free by meditating, listening to your favorite album or watching a comfort movie, but there are also some helpful tools you can use to kick up your self-care routine during this hectic time of year.

For example, sipping an herbal tea can have a calming effect while offering antioxidants and hydration, while a new Kindle might be the best way to set your phone aside and dive headfirst into a novel you've had on your TBR list.

For a more relaxing bath time, you might try adding some classic Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt and setting up a diffuser with doTERRA's "Console" blend that merges frankincense, rose and sandalwood for a gorgeous scent that fills the room.
