How Do You Like To Unwind?

Have you ever completed a schedule audit? If you haven’t tried this before, it’s simple (and great to try if you feel like your life is being controlled by your to-do list)! All you need to do is pull up your calendar, or if you’re old school like me, pull out your planner, and you ask yourself the question, “How am I spending my time, and is it effective?” 

After completing this audit, I quickly realized that what was missing from my schedule was time to unwind. I work full-time as a career coach for a tech-ed company, run a private career coaching practice, and work at Kiskadee, and while I love and take pride in the work that I do, prioritizing time to unwind was not happening.

So, as some of us return to the office and as some of us see kids off to school for the first time in over 18 months, taking the time to unwind feels more important than ever. Fortunately, Kiskadee has a number of special and unique items in store right now that can help make this happen. And if you’ve already mastered the art of self-care and want to help a friend cultivate this as a new habit, these items also make great gifts! 

First up, we have the Waffle Throw Blanket by Barefoot Dreams. This blanket feels like the warm hug that we all need at the end of a long day. It’s perfect for cozying up with when reading a good book or catching up on your latest Netflix show. 

Green Bubble Gorgeous Polishing Sugar Scrub (available in store) & 3-in-1 Energizing Shower Steamer Spray

After completing my schedule audit, I tried to think of ways to enhance rituals in my daily routine. An easy option was treating myself to two items that upgrade any shower experience - a handcrafted Polishing Sugar Scrub by Green Bubble Gorgeous and the 3-in-1 energizing shower steamer spray. My home bathroom now smells like a day spa, so it’s a win-win. 

Assorted Candies by Candy Club available in store

Assorted Candies by Candy Club available in store

This last item may seem a little out of place on the list, but I couldn’t resist including it. These Candy Club treats are truly sugary nostalgia in a jar and may be one of my favorite items that we have in store right now. There are plenty of options to choose from - including peach hearts, choco bears, and churro bites - they do not disappoint and are the perfect sweet treat to end your day.

Like what you see but can’t make it into the nest? You can find these products and much more on our new website, kiskadeeshop.com, or find us on Instagram at @kiskadee_shop. Happy unwinding :)
