Call it my secret weapon (weapons?) for unwinding and relaxing. You saw me mention essential oils quite a lot over the last couple of months, but why do I love them so much? Well, try diffusing a lavender oil while also using a Calm app, and tell me who wouldn’t love them. There’s just something so soothing about meditating and diffusing your favorite oils.
