Having a stressful day, week, month or year? Sometimes a spa day is all you need to press the reset button on frayed nerves and get back on track.

We’ve gathered a list of 10 items for you to snag for your next at-home spa day that’ll have you relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to take on the world (soon enough).
1. InnoGear Essential Oil Diffuser with Oils
It’s important to set the mood for your spa day, and an essential oil diffuser is one of the best ways to help shift you into a zen mindset.

This diffuser generates a large amount of mist, and has three different working modes, with the longest lasting up to 10 hours.
Essential oils are known for their calming and mood-boosting properties, and since these oils are 100% natural, there is no need to worry about any toxic additives or fillers (but do be careful around pets).
