If your aches and pains prevent you from hitting the gym, give this cushioned yoga mat from Gaiam a try. It's made especially with your body in mind, relieving pressure on trouble areas in your hips, knees, and ankles. That way you can get a solid workout in without feeling the pain (well, the bad kind of pain).
Some people like essential oils. Others like incense. If you lean toward the latter, add this Japanese wood incense holder to any nightstand, shelf, or coffee table in your house. It even comes with eight incense sticks, which burn for about 20 minutes each, to get you started. Psst, it's even small enough to take with you while you travel!
First: Buy a diffuser. Second: Stock up on your oils of choice (lavender is a must, obviously). This diffuser disperses a cool mist of essential oils and water to ensure that you're getting all of the good stuff from the oils (the scent and benefits) instead of burning them with a heat like many other diffusers do.
