Wipe Out Your Summer Slump

The Fourth of July is just a week away ... which makes this weekend the perfect time to stock up on summer gear. We're not talking barbecue tongs and pool toys (although they're great too) but sunblock, sunglasses and maybe a new pair of flip-flops. A great addition to your shopping list is a pair of disposable cleaning towelettes — sort of the grown-up version of diaper wipes — that are perfect for wiping picnic-schmutzed hands, disinfecting airplane tables, or simply a cooling schmear on a hot day. And if you're looking for wipes you can feel good about, look no further than Herban Essentials Essential Oils Towelettes.

Herban Essentials' wipes are infused with 100 percent pure essential oils that are naturally antiseptic and antibacterial. The oils are, for the most part, cold pressed ... which, just like with olive oil, guarantees maximum intensity. And although the wipes come in a handful of scents (as well as in yoga-mat and pet versions too), the standout is the orange version, since orange oil has been found to relieve depression, promote calm, and make people feel happier and more focused.

And particularly this weekend — after a week in which pop icons have died and politicians have admitted adultery — who couldn't use a little uplifting mood alternation, especially when it's this clean and natural?
