Lounging Accessories

Fatigue is a common side effect of chemotherapy treatments, especially on the heels of the busy holiday season. For women in treatment who are used to running the show, losing energy is an especially unpleasant surprise. But thanks to designer Marc Jacobs, we know that being stylish means making any look our own, including looking good, even while lounging.

-- If you’re dehydrated from fluid loss during chemo, contacts can feel especially uncomfortable for tired eyes. Give yourself a break and store them by your bed in this lovely Vera Bradley contacts case. Dry eyes and dry mouth are early signs of dehydration. You can become dehydrated from sweating due to fevers and hot flashes, so listen to your body. Don’t hesitate to contact your nurse or medical provider if you notice these symptoms so you can get the right amount of fluids and electrolytes. 

-- A great alternative to contacts are the Jennifer readers. They help you keep an eye on style, whether you’re flipping through the newest issue of your favorite glossy magazines, journaling as a form of meditation, or indulging in the latest best-seller on your Kindle!
Speaking of Kindles and e-Readers, they make a great companion during chemo, but you don’t have to settle for the same steel grey look as everyone else. Find a lovely Kindle case that turns ordinary into signature.
