The end of summer break is nearing. Can you feel it? You’re getting back-to-school emails, the weather is staying HOT, and the sun doesn’t dip below the horizon until well into the evening. It’s time to kick back and enjoy all the fruit of your labor.

Of course, that’s often easier said than done. You might have big plans to relax this weekend. But when Saturday rolls around, you feel that itch to tackle a chore. Your phone might ring. Your neighbor might ask for a hand. In our fast-paced world, it can be hard to enjoy a little calm. 

Fortunately, specific things can help. We’ve teed up four products designed to help you disconnect from your busy life and get the downtime you deserve — and need. 

#1: A hand massager

If you struggle when your hands are idle, consider getting a hand massager. This way, your hands will be actively engaged even as you take it easy. Just slip your mitts into the soft, Lycra-lined chamber and turn it on.

The massager goes to work to compress and massage away tension, aches, and pains. If you’re sitting in a climate-controlled room, you might even want to activate the heat mode for added relaxation. 

#2: A neck and back massager

If you find yourself trying to kick back but glancing over and spotting a to-do, try reaching for this instead.

This neck and back massager gives you options. It features 3 adjustable intensity levels and 3 massage modes so you have full control. This one also comes with an optional heat mode to really work out those kinks and relax your muscles.

Getting a professional massage isn’t an option when you’ve been at the splash pad all day and finally cleaned the popsicle drips and sunscreen off every surface of your home. Take some time to recover. You’ve earned it.

#3: An eye massager 

If that neck and back massager won’t slow you down, how about closing your eyes to the never-ending list of responsibility for a while? Our eye massager doesn’t just rest on your face. It goes to work to help you relax — this summer and beyond. 

With rhythmic compression therapy, it taps into 10 acupressure points around your eyes to:

• Reduce eye strain
• Soothe headaches
• Improve circulation
• Minimize eye puffiness
• Help you relax to get better sleep

Plus, its lining is vegan leather, making it ultra-soft on your face and super easy to clean. And when the weather cools off this fall, it offers heat therapy, too. 

#4: A leg compression system

Do you struggle to sit still? If these other relaxation solutions still aren’t enough to help you take it easy, you can always turn to a leg and foot compression system. This portable device massages your calves and feet using air compression. If you feel tired and tight from too much time on your feet, this is the perfect way to treat yourself this summer. 

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Find what works for you so you can have the relaxing, restorative summer you deserve.
