Yara’s Bliss eye pillows

Humidity, allergies and annoying, prickly sinus pains make me long for colder weather — and that’s saying a lot because I truly heart summertime in NYC.

Yara’s Bliss, whose fantastic line of bath teas and soaps received a fond shout-out from me just a week ago, makes one of the more useful products I’ve stumbled upon this season: soft, therapeutic, squishy and delightful eye pillows.

Yara’s Cucumber Melon Eye Pillow is hand-sewn and filled with Jasmine rice, herbs and essential oils. The pretty plush cushion’s underside is lined in Bridal Satin. Pop one in the freezer and you’ve got an instant remedy for your migraine headache; slip one in the microwave for a few seconds and soothe your aching sinuses.

The next allergy-relief apparatus on my list is Yara’s Bliss Soothing Eye Mask, which can be used hot or cold to treat sinus pain, congestion and dark circles.
