One of the jr girl scout badges is "Stress less". One of the suggestions is to make a stress less kit, with 10 items. So what would you put in your kit? Any ideas to make this a great meeting.

so far here is what I have.

We will make a healthy snack (baked apples)
We will make bath cookies
We will make stress balls
maybe yoga
music, candles etc

What says de stress or spa at your home? I am afraid to really do face cleaning, etc, too many of my girls wear make up and it could just be a hassle to clean faces, then mask, etc. I have 10 girls.

Any help appreciated!

maybe some chocolate, a magazine, book, hair treatment

Good luck, if I think of anymore I'll post again. Sounds like a fun badge!

A pretty marble or polished rock that the girl can keep in her pocket to hold to remind her to relax.

An affirmation written in pretty script or calligraphy about the benefit of relaxation.

Oh - and of course - you HAVE to put some chocolate in there! The best destressor .

Hot Compresses!

Boil water, add essential oils like lavender or geraium, pour over moistened wash cloths.
A quick relaxer, and being "behind" the compress really de stresses.

Meditation. Use a meditation CD, and have the girls spend a few minutes sitting and meditating on positive things, with breathing exercises.

Oh, duh.... didn't read properly. Maybe you could make a CD for each kit, with instructions for deep breathing?
