As I mentioned in my interview with Ouigi, The Brooklyn Circus has launched a scented candle collection. Joya was burning as we chatted and here it is; 60 hours of pure joy. With notes of Blood Orange, Vanilla and Sweet Musk, it’s the perfect compliment for a relaxing evening.
Get it for $30 at The Brooklyn Circus 150 Nevins Street 718-858-0919

There are not, to my knowledge, places actually called “Recovery Spas”, but if you’re like me, you know what it means intuitively. First let me tell you what a recovery spa is not:
A recovery spa probably does not exist in Las Vegas. Or probably not in any other city filled with noise and bright lights.
A recovery spa is probably not a part of a chain with commercial elements to its décor.
A recovery spa is definitely not ugly, noisy, dirty, or any other adjective that elicits stress.
So what is a recovery spa?
A recovery spa is a place where when you walk out the front door, you find yourself still in a place of peace and serenity.
A recovery spa might be privately owned, rustic, quiet, beautiful, and health oriented.
A recovery spa makes sure that guests get the attention they need, while simultaneously giving them space to […]

Garden Water Fountain
The Benefits of Water Fountains and Waterfalls
Outdoor Fountains and Garden Planters are a beautiful addition to any backyard or patio. They are scientifically proven to soothe and relax us as we are able to slow down, listen and enjoy the sound of running water just as we would if we were out in nature.
Water fountains and waterfalls – which come in tabletop, wall mounted, and free standing varieties – bring the soothing sounds of flowing water to the home, but they also bring a visual element. Not only are water fountains and waterfalls beautifully designed and able to complement just about any existing home décor, the water itself lends another dimension of stress relief to the equation. Watching the dance and trickle of water as it flows across rocks, down textured surfaces, and into a basin at the bottom enhances our auditory experience. When we listen to sound machines […]

Another computer crash? Technology stress has scored again! Deadlines are approaching and critical files are lost.
As a society, we are dependant on computer technology and when we need it most, it often sabotages us. Computer crashes cause us anger, stress; cholesterol levels rise! We can get shaky, feel tense or sick to our stomach. Stress is responsible for 80% of all doctors’ visits.
Many people react emotionally to machines that have no sense of concern or let alone remorse for what they’ve done to us by stopping cold. To encourage anxiety relief, firstly, it’s best to alter your perception of events and attitudes so that you can remain calm in an increasingly technological society.
Three Rescue Remedies for Computer Stress
1) Take a few deep breaths and think to yourself: “Tomorrow the sun will rise again. This too will pass.” These positive thinking techniques help both mental and physical well-being.
2) Either fix the problem […]

Yoga practice has realistic solutions for stressed-out teenagers. Young people need to take time out for non-competitive and wholesome activities, such as Yoga. When teens have a chance to explore themselves from within, this is time well spent.
Yoga is considered to be an extremely effective method for relieving stress. Many people avoid yoga with the idea that they either can’t or don’t wish to maneuver their body into a pretzel. However, these positions are for advanced practitioners. Yoga has many postures that are simple to perform.
Looking for ways to beat stress? Yoga makes it easy. Even five minutes spent doing yoga will give you stress relief. In these tough times it’s only natural to feel stress.

Stress can do anything on earth that it wants to you. If you don’t control it, it will control you. But what is life really without stress? A little makes things interesting. But there are mild and more extreme cases of stress. Prevent the outcome of too much stress, or fight it when its here.
We all experience it. Whether your life is busy, you’ve lost something/someone, or everything/everyone around you is getting and keeping you down. Find something to keep you up. When life gives you lemons, you’ll probably sometimes want to just sit there, hide, stay to yourself and let it build up inside of you until you feel that fire in your chest that makes you just want to scream until it is out. Get out of that habit. Get help.
Harmful effects of stress
sleepless nights
less productive at work/school/sports team
headaches
stomach aches
colds out of the blue
nasty attitudes towards loved ones
high blood […]

Social Anxiety Symptoms To Watch For
Social anxiety is one of the many classes of anxiety disorder. As is the case with the other forms of this condition, the symptoms can be very real to the person suffering from them. In fact, they can be so strong that complete avoidance of triggers is the defense mechanism that kicks in. Understanding the symptoms and what to watch out for can help a person who might have social anxiety realize the need to seek assistance to control and even overcome the condition.
Since many of the symptoms of social anxiety also mimic life-threatening and serious physical conditions, it is almost always advised that a physician be the one to determine the root cause. Even if the triggers are “obvious” social anxiety, such as an extreme fear of speaking in public or going to job interviews, a physical evaluation is almost always called for.
Some of […]

Pregnancy can be hard on the body of a expecting mother and do to the fact many women are sensitive to taking anything internally that might harm the child they end up suffering these changes to their body needlessly. Pregnancy causes pain and cramps in the body of the woman as it adjusts to fit the ever-growing child that is being nurtured inside. Also the body tends to retain fluid and be more vulnerable to stress during this time potentially increasing risks to both mother and child.
Massage is one way that expectant mothers can alleviate all of these symptoms and at the same time enjoy some quiet time to unwind before the birth of the baby. By having a massage chair at her disposal during this time the toll taken on her body can be greatly alleviated for a more enjoyable pregnancy. Massage chairs from leading manufacturers such as Inada will […]

Journeys with Jelila
How to say ‘no’ without alienating yourself.
Relax and enjoy the peace of Ubud, as you harmonise yourself! Come on a Journey with me now and discover how…
Relax, breathe, and imagine yourself before a gold table. A card shark shuffles cards very fast, laying them out. He places exotically-shaped gold rings on some cards, you choose one you like best. Examine the design, notice how it makes you feel and what it reminds you of, talk to the magician if you need explanation, and when ready, gently return.
My client, Deirdre was having trouble with her boyfriend. ‘I always seem to do what he wants, and make all the running, while he puts his feet up!’ she said. ‘Usually I’m an independent person, but around him, I act like a wuss!’
It transpired that Deirdre was having trouble saying ‘no’ because she subconsciously believed ‘I […]

So, I’ve been doing some reading about stress, what it does to you, yadda, yadda, yadda and laughter seems to be one the THE best ways to battle it.
And then I thought, “How can we apply this to what we’re doing and our business?” I know — do something silly that gets a few chuckles! How about some wacky contest?!
Behold, the “Name the Stress Monster” contest was born. You’ll have to check it out on our site, but I think it’s pretty funny myself (ok, I would since I’m the idiot that created it, but hey — if I can’t say I’m fabulous, who will.)
