New routines. Early alarms. Soccer practice. Snack duty. PTA sign-ups.
Yep, back-to-school season is officially upon us.
Whether you’re juggling school drop-offs, running the show in your classroom, or packing your college kid’s dorm tote, we’ve rounded up our handmade self-care essentials to help you feel calm, collected, and smelling amazing every step of the way.
From desk drawers to sports bags, these are the must-haves that make the madness feel manageable.
✨ 1. Aromatherapy On-the-Go
When deep breaths aren't cutting it, grab one of these:
Aromatherapy Inhalers – Perfect for a mid-day mental reset at your desk or before walking into a chaotic meeting. Just uncap, breathe, and carry on.
Roll-On Aromatherapy Blends – Gentle, grounding, and purse-friendly. Roll them on your wrists or temples for a moment of peace wherever you are.
Shower Steamers – Don't underestimate the power of a 5-minute shower with a mentholated steamer. It’s like aromatherapy… but in your bathroom.
🛁 2. Bath Bombs for Everyone
School nights? Kid meltdowns? 5 AM alarms? You’re going to want a tub.
Aromatherapy Bath Bombs – For winding down after a long day of “Mom, can you help with my math homework?”
Signature Scents – For that “me time” bath you promised yourself.
Kids’ Bath Bombs – Colorful, fizzy fun to help with after-school transitions and bedtime routines.
Pro Tip: Teachers love these as gifts. Keep a few on hand and win the “favorite parent” award.
🚗 3. Essentials for the Car, the Bag, or the Locker
Let’s face it: back-to-school season means living in your car again.
Body Creme – Quick hydration before the carline or after a sweaty gym class.
Roll-On Perfume – Compact, no-spill fragrance to freshen up before parent-teacher night or a long shift.
Lip Balm – You can never have enough. One in your purse, one in your desk, one in your kid’s backpack.
Hand Spray – Germs? We don’t know her. Keep this stocked at all times.
🌿 4. Freshen the Ride
If your car is your second home, it might as well smell like it.
Car Diffusers – Pop one on your rearview and enjoy a subtle, long-lasting scent that keeps your mood high (even in traffic).
Room + Linen Sprays – A few spritzes in your car = instant refresh. Bonus: your kids might stop complaining that it smells like snacks in there.
☀️ 5. Still Hot, Still Buggy
Fall sports are back, but that summer heat hasn’t left yet.
Scorchin’ Hot Spray – Our cooling magnesium mist for tired, overheated legs after practice or the playground.
Fight the Bite Sticks + Don't Bug Me Spray – Keep the bugs off your players and yourself during those late practices or early morning games.
Odor Neutralizing Body Spray – Especially from our Men’s Line, it’s the go-to for stinky gear bags and post-practice funk.
