A GOOD WAY TO REDUCE STRESS
National Wellness Month is a reminder to prioritize self-care and create healthy habits. Whether starting a new job, taking a test or flying, I recommend Boiron StressCalm and StressCalm On the Go. These homeopathic medicines have no known drug interactions and offer sedative-free relief for occasional nervous tension, irritability, and fatigue due to everyday stress, so stay focused and relaxed. Perfect for busy routines and available in meltaway tablets or pellets for ages 12 and up. Wellness is about finding simple ways like StressCalm to manage life’s everyday challenges.
GET READY FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR
With school starting, be prepared in case a bug invades the household with Oscillococcinum by Boiron, or Oscillo for short. Taken at the first sign of flu symptoms, it helps fight those symptoms like chills, body aches, and fatigue before they get out of hand. Oscillo is a non-drowsy, homeopathic option that is suitable for everyone ages 2 and up and does not interact with other medicines. It’s ideal to keep at home or take on the go and is widely available wherever. For more information, visit discover.boironusa.com
BODY-CARE ROUTINES
It is important to establish a body care routine. Check out the NEW Olay Summer Fizz Body Wash Collection. It nourishes your skin with a hyaluronic serum complex and other skin-loving ingredients to help promote a healthier skin barrier. The Olay Summer Fizz Body Wash also comes in invigorating scents. My favorite is Strawberry Fizz. It makes every day feel like a sun-soaked adventure. It is free of parabens, phthalates and silicones and is available nationwide for just under $10.
