Weighted blankets are said to help comfort people with anxiety and, in certain cases, even aid in sleep. Great! But the only problem is a lot of high-quality weighted blankets can be pretty pricy.

Anthropologie is, at times, extremely overpriced and it remains unclear how mere mortals can afford to shop there on a daily basis. But I must admit that sometimes, when I get stressed and am in close proximity to an Anthropologie store, I walk in and smell the candles.

Many scents are lovely and soothing, but Boulangerie's Espresso scent is my personal fave. And you know what? I think I've finally convinced myself to splurge on one, because in terms of Anthropology, these babies are actually cheap.

Price:$18.00 at Anthropologie

Lip care doesn't have to be expensive, either. This Aqua Jelly Lip Mask is cheap, but ingredients like shea butter, coconut, honey will leave your mouth feeling hydrated and smooth. We do think you're ready for this jelly.

So much of our lives are spent typing on keyboards that we've almost forgotten the magic that can occur when pencil meets paper.

Can you say comfort food? Though I'd hate to admit it, we can't live solely off peanut butter cups.
