Booking a salon visit or scheduling a staycation sounds amazing, but it can be difficult to arrange especially during a hectic workweek. Here are a few of our best recommendations for how to destress in the comfort of your own home.

 

Get Moving

Sometimes stress builds up in the body even while we’re doing nothing at all. Restlessness is often common with a busy work schedule, so channeling that energy is key. Try to unwind by getting up and moving your body. A quick 30 min indoor yoga session can fuel your body with an endorphin high and help melt away that unwanted stress.

 

Meditation and Clean Breathing

It is easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and forget to reconnect from within. The next time you find some alone time, even if it’s just for a few minutes, sit in silence with your eyes closed. Focus on generating deep, consistent and intentional breathing. We suggest lighting one of our Skylar Candles – free of parabens and sulfates to create the ultimate at-home oasis.

 

Perfect your craft

If meditation and staying still isn’t your thing, an alternative is taking up a hobby that requires focused attention on a rhythmic task. Hobbies such as knitting, coloring, photography are great ways to wind down the day and have been shown to decrease stress and improve mental health.

 

Girls Night In

What better way to relax than a spa day with your best girlfriends? Take the stress out of planning a trip to the salon by hosting your own day spa in the comfort of your home. Bring out the candles, Skylar Rollies and sweet treats- your moments of serenity and bliss await.

4 Ways to Relax Without Leaving Your Home

4 Ways to Relax Without Leaving Your Home

Read more

Looking for a way to cut down on clutter without sacrificing comfort and efficiency? Here are our top 6 travel carry-on essentials for the ultimate hassle-free trip. Check out our must-haves below.

1. Headphones  

Most domestic flights do not provide complimentary headphones, so don't forget to pack your own and prepare a relaxing playlist for the flight. 

2. Face Mask or Hydrating Mist 

Combat the less than ideal in-flight air by bringing along a travel size facial mist or your favorite soothing face mask. Not only will your skin feel hydrated and rejuvenated after a long flight, but it's also a great way to relax and decompress during your trip. 

3. Travel Rollies

In our opinion, there's nothing more important than feeling comfortable while traveling and arriving refreshed and smelling good. Our favorite way to feel beautiful is by rolling one of our signature Skylar scents. Skylar Rollies are the perfect in-purse accessory for freshening up mid-flight, or when you land. Layer two fragrances during your flight to indulge in moments of bliss. 

4. Portable Battery Charger 

Most domestic flights do not have charging ports located near your seat. Whether it's calling an uber after your arrival or sending the family a text to say you've landed, having a charged phone upon arrival is important. We recommend bringing a portable charger to avoid any last minute mobile emergencies.  

5. A Healthy Snack

Avoid being lured into purchasing unhealthy in-flight snacks like candy bars and chips by bringing a few healthy snacks with you. Not only will you be able to avoid the high cost, but you'll also rest easy knowing you've prioritized nutrition and clean eating. We recommend raw almonds and dried fruits!  

6. A Good Book 

There's nothing more relaxing than curling up to a good book on a long flight. No matter where your flight takes you, enjoy a literary adventure during the journey.

6 Essentials to Bring in Your Travel Carry-On

6 Essentials to Bring in Your Travel Carry-On

  1. Wake up with a glass of warm water and lemon

A cup of warm water with fresh squeezed lemon in the morning is your new best friend. This combination is the holy grail for flushing out toxins and boosting your metabolism. Great for regulation and alertness, this morning habit is a must. You can also try steeping tea with fresh lemon for a caffeine kick. 

  1. Cut out processed sugar

While sugar is not inherently harmful, too much sugar, especially processed sugar, does more harm than good. When our bodies take in too much sugar, our insulin level spike, causing our bodies to store excess fat. To combat, try cutting out processed sugars and instead opt for natural sweeteners found in fruit or honey. *Fruit also contains fiber which studies show many humans have a deficiency of.

  1. Opt for complex carbohydrates

Simple carbs, for example, white bread, crackers, and cakes are essentially processed in the body as sugar and used for energy. However, because simple carbs are so easy to digest, this often results in a fast spike in your body’s blood sugar post carb consumption and can cause weight gain (unless a person is extremely active). One easy way to enjoy your carbs without the worry of a spike is by eating more complex carbs, like sweet potato and brown rice. Complex carbs are slower digesting, and don’t spike your insulin the way simple carbs do.  

  1. Choose darker greens

We all know mom was right about eating your vegetables, but what she might not have told you is the importance of eating dark leafy greens. Darker greens, such as kale and spinach, contain greater amounts of minerals and vitamins than lighter green like iceberg lettuce. Darker greens are nutrient-dense and contain less water, making them the ultimate go-to snack for health nuts.

 

  1.  Water. Water. Water

There is nothing more important than staying hydrated and drinking enough water. The health benefits of staying hydrated (without drinking added sugars) are innumerable. Water helps to improve skin health, regulate your body’s internal processes and body temperature and supports your kidneys, just to name a few!

The importance of clean beauty is well known. At Skylar, it's who we are. Below we explain 3 reasons to make the switch to clean and detox your beauty routine.
 
1. Free of Toxins and Parabens 

Skylar fragrances are free of parabens and toxic chemicals. What does this mean? When fragrances are added to the skin, they do not just it on the surface. In fact, our pores actually absorb a lot of the fragrance, similar to how moisturizer hydrates by being absorbed into the skin. When traditional perfumes are absorbed into the body, toxins lurking in those fragrances are also absorbed. This can cause issues such as skin irritations, allergies, migraines and can even cause allergies in babies.

Here are just a few chemicals found in traditional perfumes that our fragrances do not include:

Our products are free of:

Parabens

Phthalates

Sulfates SLS & SLES

Synthetic Dyes

Synthetic Musks

Allergens

2. Hypoallergenic

At Skylar, we do not use harmful chemicals or allergens. Some natural ingredients can cause sensitivities in some people (lavender and grapefruit are just a few examples). In order to make our scents hypoallergenic, we replace those allergens with safe non-toxic substitutes. All our scents contain some synthetic ingredients for this reason. As a clean beauty brand, our philosophy is to use the best ingredients nature and science have to offer so you can smell beautiful without a worry. 

3. Cruelty-Free

There is nothing we love more than our furry friends. All Skylar, products are vegan and never tested on animals.

We never use any animal by-products (commonly used in perfumes) including musk (from deer). We think fragrances should only spread love and happiness, always!

Self Love Valentine's Skylar body

We love Love, and we love the idea of celebrating it. But Valentine’s Day tends to be so...complicated. You know what we mean. 

We think the most important type of love is self love. Buy yourself those flowers, get a massage, and enjoy a nice dinner—because you love yourself and you deserve it. The best part? You can keep it simple. We’ve rounded up our favorite ways to pamper ourselves in the shape of a few easy, at-home spa treatments.

7:00 am: Smoothie Operator
Super healthy juice doesn’t necessarily sound exciting, but we promise the right smoothie recipe can offer a real “treat yourself” moment. We love starting our day by making a spin on Heidi Swanson’s cherry smoothie recipe, using frozen strawberries and raspberries (because it is winter, after all). The delicious blend of fruit with nut milk, nut butter, and the unique addition of hibiscus water makes this smoothie rich, exotic, and brightly hued. Just the kind of special treat that’ll make you feel indulgent (without the guilt).

7:30 am: Spritz Yourself With Notes of Love
Our Love Notes Duo is the perfect combination of sweet-meets-spicy. Spritz on Meadow and bask in soft notes of tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom all day. If you feel up to it, layer on Arrow to add some spiciness and create a unique scent that's feminine and alluring (you can always layer later in the day as well).

9:00 pm: Homemade Bath Salts Worth Their Salt
Bath salts are super easy to make yourself, with the added benefit of letting you blend your own scents to your liking. Take 2 parts coarse sea salt and blend with 1 part epsom salt (our choice for relaxing our oft-tired muscles). Add a pinch of baking soda for added skin softening and conditioning. Then add a few drops of your favorite essential oils, mix together, and store in a lidded glass container. Faster than you can say “Bath and Body Works.”

9:30 pm: Aw Sheet! Make Your Own Sheet Mask
These paper masks are ubiquitous, and for good reason: they’re awesome! But instead of putting mystery ingredients on your skin (um, snail slime?), it’s incredibly easy to DIY using your favorite natural serums (ours is Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum). Just grab some organic cotton makeup puffs, soak them in your go-to serum to the point of being nicely saturated (but not dripping wet), apply them to your face and ta-da! Fifteen minutes later, you’ve got a glowing complexion. Next-level tip: If you want to step up your sheet mask game, you can spring for these.
