Self-Care Essentials We Swear By

Omnilux Contour Face Red Light Mask

This dermatologist recommended red light therapy mask only takes 10 minutes a day to use and my results have been amazing. As someone who suffers from rosacea, this mask calms my skin down immediately. I particularly enjoy using it after a workout that's made my face red or after a walk outside in the wind. My skin is also more clear, bright, and bouncy.

Omnilux, $535

The 5-Minute gratitude journal

Sitting down in the morning and setting intentions for the day always helps me lean into positivity, even when I'm feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

Amazon, $23

Kobo Clara 2E eReader

I use my Kobo every night—sometimes I read for 20 minutes and other nights it's just a page or two. It gets me out of my head so I stop making to-do lists for the next day. The screen is anti-glare and has a soft glow with blue light reduction.

Amazon, $159

Skinfix barrier+ Triple Lipid + Collagen Plumping Lip Treatment

I haven't had dry, chapped lips since I started using this product (and that includes an entire winter season!). I put it on every night before bed for soft and smooth lips.

Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez

This creamy, blendable formula gives the ultimate rosy glow. Add it on to a makeup free face and you'll instantly smile.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine

You won't be able to stop reapplying this balm thanks to it's light scent, non-sticky formula and sheer colour. I currently have three—two in my purses and one in the car—because I can't be without it. It gives me that 5-second  pick-me-up my day sometimes needs.

Sephora, $32.50

Vintage Soft Cropped Hoodie

A matching sweatsuit is not a want but a need for a self-care day. You'll instantly feel cute and cozy. Just throw on a pair of runners and you'll look stylish enough to head out the door for any errands that come up.

Vintage Soft Dolphin Shorts

I love a pair of sweatpants, but there's something about sweat shorts that really makes me feel most at home. I get to be nice and comfy without ever overheating.

New Balance 530s

You've probably seen these shoes everywhere, and there's a reason. They're comfy, ultra-durable (I've been wearing mine non-stop for two years), and go with so many outfits. I love pairing mine with ankle socks and my sweatsuit on self care days, or with trousers and t-shirt for when I'm working.

New Balance, $130

Nécessaire The Body Wash - With Niacinamide, Vitamins + Plant Surfactants

The light eucalyptus scent of this body wash takes me straight to the spa—even when my shower can only be three minutes.

I use this lotion religiously when I get out of the shower. It's non-sticky and passes the leggings test—I can put leggings on right away without them getting stuck.

I make it to the mat every day—it's a non-negotiable for my self-care routine. Whether I'm doing a five-minute meditation, a yoga flow, or a HIIT circuit, this mat stay put, dries quickly, and gives me balance in my life.

Lululemon, $98
