Need some much needed Zen in your life during finals week? Take a look at these simple ways to add a relaxed, calming feel to your dorm room or apartment in an instant.
Succulents
Not only are they extremely low-maintenance, but succulents and cacti are an easy way to add some air-friendly plants in your room. They require minimal sunlight and only need to be sprayed with water once a month!
Himalayan Salt Lamp
In addition to adding a soft glow, Himalayan salt lamps are known to cleanse and deodorize the air. By pairing negative ions with positive ones, a heated salt lamp can help improve your breathing, mood, and sleep, not to mention they can help reduce stress.
Aromatherapy Diffuser
Whether you’re in a candle-free dorm or simply looking for a way to incorporate calming scents, try out an aromatherapy diffuser. Becoming more popular, these hassle-free diffusers are perfect to use before bed when you need to unwind after a long day. Mix and match your own oils to fit your needs, whether it be lavender for relaxing, eucalyptus to refocus, or citrus for an uplift.
Cozy Blanket
Nothing beats climbing into bed after a long day of studying with a comfy blanket. Invest in a neutral, high quality blanket that can double as a throw. Your hard work will pay off when you have a luxurious bed to relax in after!
Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, so make sure to de-clutter and tidy up your room before finals, a stressful event or a long day of work.
