Though summer is lots of fun, all the travel, barbecues, family reunions, camps and back-to-school shopping can be kinda… stressful. That’s why it’s SO important to take a break to slow down and relax. Thankfully, National Relaxation Day is Aug. 15, so if you’re looking for an excuse to take things easy, now’s your chance.
Whether your idea of relaxing is as elaborate as a full-blown spa day or as simple as turning your phone off for a couple of hours, here are a few ideas to help you unwind, Scentsy style!
If you can’t take the day off work, we’ve made fragrance recommendations to capture these relaxing moments!

- Take a walk or a hike. Find a friend (dogs count!) and lose yourself in nature for a few hours. Fragrance recommendation: Forest Wildflowers
- Go fishing. Whether you own a pole or not, what could be more relaxing than hanging out in a boat with your best buddies and a cool beverage by the water for a couple of hours? Fragrance recommendation: Thunderstorm
- Hang out by the pool. Grab some SPF, a drink, some trash mags and kick your feet up. Fragrance recommendation: Havana Cabana
- Have coffee with friends. Catch up with an old friend or just take a much-needed break. Fragrance recommendation: Mochadoodle
