5 Simple Ways to Combat Stress This April | Stress Awareness Month
April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to focus on self-care and finding ways to bring more balance into our busy lives. In 2025, stress is at an all-time high—but so are the ways to manage it! Here are five easy and effective ways to de-stress and feel your best.
1. Prioritize Mindful Moments
Take a few minutes each day to breathe deeply, stretch, or simply enjoy a quiet moment. Apps like Calm or Headspace can help you practice mindfulness on the go.
2. Move Your Body
Exercise isn’t just about fitness—it’s one of the best ways to relieve stress. Whether it’s yoga, a nature walk, or a dance session in your living room, find what moves you and make it a habit!
3. Stay Connected
Spending time with loved ones (even virtually) can boost your mood. A quick chat with a friend, a coffee date, or even a heartfelt text can make all the difference.
4. Get Enough Rest
A good night’s sleep is essential for reducing stress. Try unwinding with a warm cup of tea, avoiding screens before bed, and setting a relaxing nighttime routine.
5. Treat Yourself to Some Shopping Therapy
Sometimes, a little retail therapy is just what you need! Whether it's a pair of statement earrings, a dainty gold necklace, or a stylish new handbag, a fresh accessory can lift your spirits. Browse our merch store and find something beautiful—because you deserve it!
This April, take a moment to breathe, relax, and focus on you. Stress may be inevitable, but with the right tools (and a little shopping therapy, you can handle anything that comes your way.
Best regards,

Have You Heard of Nail Rings?
While I was on vacation in Dubai, I saw some women wearing Nail Rings and learned that Muslim women are required to wet their hands and nail beds with water during ablutions/prayers, which prevents them from getting acrylic or gel nails installed. So, they wear Nail Rings to be fashionable and religious as the same time. Kudos to them for coming up with this solution, which practically allows you to take off your artificial nails and put them back on 10 times a day if you need to—like a wig, but for your nails.
For me, I fell in love with them immediately because it practically makes sense for me as an artist and a busy mom. I can wear them for special occasions such as parties, concerts, and photoshoots, or I can wear them regularly and just take them off whenever I need to do some house chores or personal care.
After my vacation in Dubai, my team and I worked very hard to bring this to the USA. What makes my brand unique and better compared to the one other brand that I found in the USA is that my team and I permanently bond the artificial nails to the Nail Rings, saving you time and hassle—unlike the type that Muslim women wear, which still requires glue tags and some form of installation. That defeats the purpose for me as a busy person; sometimes I don’t even have that extra 30 minutes to install the sticky glue on top of my real nails, then install rings on top of the glue tags, and finally fix the nails on top of the rings. With Janeliasoul Nail Rings, you just slide them on, and you're done in less than a minute, while the curvature in the rings provides the support they need. Taking them off is just as fast and easy, with no need to soak your hands in water for the glue tags to dissolve.
Nail Rings have become one of my favorite products. We have added a collection to the store and we have a new arrival every week. We source the artificial nails from vendors that supply handmade press-on nails. After that, my team and I assemble them here in our home studio in Owings Mills, MD, USA with a lot of love and care. We use non-toxic bonding practices that maintain our health and safety, and by extension, yours too. I am proud to launch this very practical product. They are super stylish, adjustable, and reusable up to 30 times. We think you would love them too and invite you to check out our Nail Rings.
