It’s National Relaxation Day!

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! And if you can’t take the day off work, we’ve made fragrance recommendations to capture these relaxing moments!

1. Read a good book. Bonus points if you do it in a hammock! Fragrance recommendation: Clothesline
2. Take a walk or a hike. Find a friend (dogs count!) and lose yourself in nature for a few hours. Fragrance recommendation: Forest Wildflowers
3. 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
4. Hang out by the pool. Grab some SPF, a drink, some trash mags and kick your feet up. Fragrance recommendation: Havana Cabana
5. Have coffee with friends. Catch up with an old friend or just take a much-needed break. Fragrance recommendation: Mochadoodle
6. Get a massage. ‘Nuff said. Fragrance Recommendation: French Lavender
7. Take a yoga class. No time? Pop in a DVD with some friends or search YouTube for free videos and score a moment of Zen. Fragrance recommendation: Just Breathe
8. Take a long bath. What could be more relaxing than warm water and fragrant bubbles? Fragrance recommendation: Jammy Time
9. Garden. We’re not talking about heavy-duty lifting and digging. Just get out in the sun and plant some flowers! Fragrance recommendation: Flower Child
10. Do a puzzle. There’s something very soothing about touching all those puzzle pieces (and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to do a puzzle and check your phone at the same time!). Fragrance recommendation: My Dear Watson
