Aromatherapy for the Finals-Frenzied

"It's the most wonderful time of the year..." Once finals are over, that is! For stressed-out college students, this time of year is anything but wonderful until that last paper or test is finished. But you shouldn't have to spend half the holidays feeling unmerry. Making time for relaxation is key to maintaining a rosy glow during the craziest weeks of the semester. Gretchen Glapion Halpin, president and founder of Soothe Your Senses, Inc., created a unique collection of aromatherapy treats inspired by the gentle pace of Louisiana and the tradition of the Traiteur (Creole healer). These southern sensations, which Gretchen calls "complex potions," are designed to leave you feeling refreshed and revived. Soak sore muscles in a hot bath steeped in a Calming Bath Tea ($9-$15) or soften your feet with a Cane Sugar Scrub ($20). There's also a variety of relaxation CDs ($12), bath salts ($8-$9), body oils ($21), salt loofahs ($22), and spa gift sets ($30-$52). Herbs like lavender and chamomile, oils, and other ingredients are combined to form these delicious scents. Take a break and visit their Web site at www.sootheyoursenses.com.
