If you are someone who feels the stress of beating the crowds, avoiding the delays and still getting into the office on time, then keep on reading. I’ve gathered my favourite self-calming tips that help counterbalance that daily commute rust-hour stress like being stuck under someone’s armpit, or sweaty skin. Plus, I’ve added my travel companion must-haves for any and every journey.
Deodorant
Speaking of armpits here’s a sustainable natural deodorant for you to check out. Wild also has a baking soda free-range and you can enjoy 50% off your first purchase with this link.

- Mint & Aloe Vera
- Sandalwood & Patchouli
- Rhubarb & Raspbery
- Lily Petal & Freesia (Limited Edition)

HeadPhones
Cancel out the chaos with a good pair of headphones. It takes an investment to get a good pair (trust me I’ve tried a lot).
Supplements
Preparation should also be internal so prepping in the morning with some good supplements is a must. April use carefully selected vegan ingredients.

Fan
London’s concrete heat means you really need to keep cool to a whole new level especially if you intend to get the underground. Check out these portable rechargeable mini fans which are perfect on a go.
A Good Read
A great way to still feel accomplished is to read a good book while on your journey. I’m currently enjoying ‘101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think’.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Having a great water bottle is a must! Check out my previous post for my top picks.
