It always feels like around this time of year, our stress levels skyrocket. Whether you’re a student returning to school, getting flooded with assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities; preparing to conquer your hectic, busy, and demanding work schedules; or just being overwhelmed with all the things life throws at you, these last few months leading to the end of the year is truly a stressful time. I know for myself, September through December are my most stressful months as I am busy keeping up with my academics, fulfilling my roles and responsibilities within extracurricular organizations I am involved in, working my internship part-time, while struggling to find time for myself and make the most of my last year of college. Though I enjoy keeping myself busy and am blessed with the roles, experiences, and opportunities I have had so far, I have often experienced burn out where I feel like I am doing so many things at once and have come to realize that I did not do a good job of prioritizing myself and doing things that I enjoy doing for fun and for myself.
As a Black beauty connoisseur and a girl who loves to do her research, I stumbled upon a brand called Homebody which specializes in providing customers with the best-of-the-best health and wellness bath rituals powered by plants for stress, mood, pain, sleep, and overall well-being. From Cupcake Wars winners to award-winning entrepreneurs, founders Rebecca Grammer-Ybarra and Christy Grammer changed their career paths and introduced their own health and wellness body care products to the world, including plant-powered bath salts, bath bombs, bath oil, and body polish all in one. These specialty products are specially formulated with bioactive and sustainably sourced phytocannabinoid rich hemp CBD, herbs, roots, flowers, adaptogens, superfoods, and beauty botanicals to best soothe and calm your soul. Hearing all these amazing benefits and reviews, I was quick to run to my nearest ULTA and snag some of their products, and let me tell you… you will not be disappointed. Listed below are my personal favs. And don’t forget… always buy Black!
