Mercury is in retrograde this month, and we won't be surprised if you're asking yourself, 'What does that even mean?' When a planet is in retrograde, or when it looks like it is traveling backward in the sky, things may seem to flip flop. So when Mercury—which rules communication, clear thinking, truth, and travel—goes into retrograde, these things will turn upside down. Most of these affected topics are pretty important when it comes to planning a wedding. But don't worry! We've got you covered with products that will keep you calm, cool, and collected.

Activation Products EASE Magnesium Spray

ease-250ml-bottleimage-print

This is a topical magnesium spray that helps combat stress ($39). Here's why more magnesium is the key to stress less: Stress causes magnesium levels to drop, and unfortunately, a lack of magnesium magnifies stress. Low magnesium levels during stressful times can cause energy depletion and fatigue, hindering the body's ability to manage stress. When stress depletes magnesium storage, arterial spasms can result.
