Markets are one of the best part of our jobs as Gifts & Decorative Accessories’ (GDA) editorial team. Seeing new product, old and new friends, and attending educational events in-person all over the country is always fun and informative. That being said, it does wear us out, and we know we are not alone! Markets mean longer hours and lots more walking and standing for everyone involved. Thankfully though, while walking the July Atlanta Market floor this week, the GDA team was lucky enough to receive a few samples of health and beauty products that made resting up in our hotels a breeze. See our picks, from beauty finds to migraine-friendly travel kits, below.

Chronic Tonic Roll-on by Tonic.

Having aches and pains? Just need to relax a little? Tonic’s Chronic Tonic Roll-On may be just the thing for you. Made with 300mg of CBD, organic MCT oil, and therapeutic grade essential oils like lavender, chamomile, peppermint and eucalyptus, Tonic’s roll-on CBD provides targeted relief for tension and discomfort with a direct application of the product to problem areas. The CBD solution is absorbed best after a shower or steam session, and its organic MCT oil base works wonderfully as both a carrier for the cannabinoids and as an emollient.

Cooling Patches by Arctic Fox Wellness.

I have gotten migraines for as long as I can remember. And while I am very fortunate to only have them set in a few times a year, I was less lucky this market when one came on Wednesday night. I had stories to write, emails to answer and lots of product to see the next day, so I knew I had to put a stop to it as soon as possible. Thankfully, the folks at Arctic Fox Wellness had me covered. I tried a cooling patch from their signature Migraine Emergency Kit in combination with my usual routine, and it worked like a charm.

Made with a cooling hydrogel, the patches are travel friendly, approved to carry on for plane travel, single use and require no refrigeration. To help with my migraine. Arctic Fox Wellness suggested I apply the patch to my forehead and within moments, I could feel the tension in my head relaxing and I was able to finish up my work for the night and sleep off the rest of the migraine to wake up refreshed the next morning.

The patches, which come two to a pack, remain cold for eight hours and simply stick to clean skin after being opened. Arctic Fox Wellness’ full Migraine Emergency Kit, designed by a fellow migraine sufferer, contains 15 migraine relief essentials chosen to target each type of migraine’s symptoms all packed into a read-to-use travel bag. Other products in the travel bag kit include a pain relieving finger massager rings, ear plugs, instant ice packs, a sleep mask, essential oil roller and more.

Lenise Willis tries out the ToGoSpa cooling collagen undereye treatments in Rose Gold.

My eyes are almost always a little puffy; even when I was a little girl I would get dark, puffy eyes if I lost any amount of sleep. As an adult, that’s only gotten worse. Throw in some fun, but definitely stressful, market travel and forget about it! Everybody knows how exhausting covering a market is; I get no less than 12,000 steps in every day at market, scouting out new product trends, like the latest trending fragrance, and our favorite market finds, and then I stay up late to catch up on emails and write articles. So I look pretty rough in the mornings.

Thankfully, while touring the Ivystone showroom, woman-owned ToGoSpa gave me and Addie some Rose Gold Collagen Eye Masks, which help to depuff, tighten and brighten the skin under your eyes. The micro-infused collagen gel pads are cold and feel amazing at first touch, and after 15-20 minutes my undereye area felt so much better. It really did feel brighter and tighter and the puff was definitely gone! It was just the refresh I needed to tackle another busy day at market. The undereye treatments smell great, too, and contain the nourishing ingredients of aloe, vitamins C and E, amino acids and rose extract, as well as resveratrol to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. The spa patches come in a convenient travel pack of three, too, so they’re easy to throw in your luggage back for future trips.
