Are you freaking out yet? Christmas is only three days away. Is the stress of holiday shopping, gift wrapping, ham cooking, family visiting, etc. driving you absolutely barking mad?

No worries. Origins has a handy little treatment called Peace of Mind On the Go Spot Relief that will help you de-stress in an instant. I was visiting my local Origins store after a long day of attempting to find something to wear for Christmas (you know how absolutely horrible that could be). I tried on about 100 dresses before settling on one that actually looked decent. I stopped in the Origins shop to pick up some blush (highly recommended by Hannah) and I came out with a small $10 bottle of this miracle lotion.

The salesgirl explained how to use it– you put three dots on your index, middle and ring finger and then rub them together with the fingers on your other hand making sure to breath deeply to experience the benefits of the refreshing scent. Then, you take your fingers and rub the product onto the back of your neck, your earlobes and your temples. Let me tell you, I completely forgot about shopping and dress-wearing and worrying for a couple minutes. It was wonderful.

Once it is applied to your skin, the lotion sinks in and gives off a nice tingly, cooling sensation that lasts for quite a while. I walked back from the store to my apartment (roughly a 15 minute walk) and I could still feel the sensation on the back of my neck. The fragrance of this product is really relaxing– very minty with a hint of eucalyptus. The woman at the store said that many people use this to help with headaches too.

This little bottle is the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone on your list (including that hard-to-buy-for guy. I used it on my boyfriend and he loved it!). You can throw it in your purse and use it whenever you are feeling the slightest bit overwhelmed.
