Organic Beauty View

Summer is a time for vacations, weddings, road trips, campouts and dozens of other activities that are wonderful and memorable and exciting- but nonetheless exhausting. You know the feeling of returning from a trip only to wish that you had a few additional vacation days for recovery? That happens to us all. So I’ve learned to pamper myself along the way by bringing a few therapeutic beauty products while traveling. It amazes me how a special scent or a comforting balm can make everything more relaxed.  And since I’m not about to haul around full-sized bottles, This Works’ Travel set of eight tiny products (each one could fit in your palm) has become my year-round favorite. Carrying on a tiny tube of cooling eye serum, a hydrating face spritz, a multi-purpose balm and a little rich lotion just makes flying that much better, even in economy class. This set (and other This Works products) really stands out for its aromatherapy benefits, which come in incredibly handy on long trips. The Energy Bank and Deep Calm bath oils have enough relaxation power to turn an anonymous hotel bathroom in to a fragrant spa when you need it most. And I’m addicted to the two essential oil roll-ons, Breathe In and One For All, that soothe or clear your head at a moment’s notice. These essential oil blends are 100% pure, 90% organic and highly concentrated, so a drop or two on pulse points is all you need. Don’t be surprised if you keep them in your purse long after you land!
