How to Relax After this Crazy Week

Well, this week has been all sorts of stressful already with news of Trump winning the US elections, Marcos granted burial at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani (at ng Isang Magnanakaw), among others. We honestly just want to pause and relax in our homes with a warm cup of tea until the chaos subsides at least.

If you feel the same, we’re bringing you comfy beddings, coffee, and scented candles to help you calm down. Let’s de-stress together.

First, you need pillows to rest your head from all the tedious reading you’ve been doing on social media. West Elm’s Mongolian Lamb Pillow (P3,365 to P8,242) has soft wool that’ll give you a good night’s sleep.

West Elm. Available at Estancia Mall and Central Square. For more information, visit their website.

With soft pillows, get a blanket to keep you warm while watching the news or a TV show if you’re tired of it. Wrap H&M Home’s Herringbone Throw (P2,290) around yourself with a hot tea or coffee in hand.

H&M Home. Available at SM Makati and SM Megamall. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.

For coffee and snacks, you can opt for this Espresso Cup with Biscotti Plate set from Seek the Uniq. We know stress eating isn’t advisable all the time but hey, we’re not stopping you if you need to.

Seek the Uniq. Available online.

Lavender can always help with stress so we suggest you light Jo Malone’s Lavender & Lovage Home Candle and let the scent waft in your room.

Jo Malone. Available at Greenbelt 5. For more information, visit their website.

Lighting can affect anyone’s mood. A good way for you to relax properly is to have dim ones like this Malta Lantern from Pottery Barn. You can either get the small or big ones, and just light a candle in your living room and bedroom.

Pottery Barn. Available at Estancia Mall and Central Square. For more information, visit their website.
