All Things Wellness

The older I've gotten the more I've fallen in love with all things wellness. How we speak to ourselves and what we put into our bodies play a huge role in our overall mental health and well-being. Rather I'm reading affirmations and mantras aloud or simply giving myself an encouraging compliment I choose to speak positively and kind to myself. I wrote a list of affirmations for the first time on October tenth of last year, I read them daily and it always sets the tone for my day. Reading them aloud was initially awkward for me so I would say the affirmations in my head as I whispered along, now I proudly read them out loud and truly believe everything I'm saying and putting out into the universe. I also noticed when I have a clear mind and experience optimal happiness it's usually due to a clean diet along with vitamins. Herbs and holistic healing have always intrigued me, finding vitamin alternatives to prescription drugs or over the counter medicine is something my body has responded well to.

Listed below are a mix of five of my favorite vitamins/supplements and self care items. I hope you try one or two of these items and make them apart of your daily routine.

I got the recommendation for the deck of affirmation cards below from fashion/beauty influencer Aaliyah Jay and I absolutely love them. I pull one card from the deck daily for a quick uplifting affirmation. These were created by the brand "Modern Love" and can be purchased on Amazon.

Sun Warrior Collagen is a plant-based vegan option for those who want all of the benefits of collagen without it being animal-derived. You will see improvement with your skin, nails, and hair. My favorite flavor is the Tahitian vanilla. It can be purchased through their website sun warrior or at your local Sprout’s farmer market.

Echinacea Goldenseal is my holy grail supplement, it aids in supporting the immune system and strengthening immune function. This is a supplement I love most during the seasonal weather change. It can be purchased through Nature‘s Sunshine website.

Equate 2-in-1 Bath Gloves can be purchased at your local Walmart. This item is very reasonably priced and can elevate your bath/shower routine tremendously. You’re able to clean and exfoliate for a smooth soft finish. Self care is very important and you can experience it without breaking the bank.

Honey Garden’s Elderberry Syrup is used for immune system support. I love this product as well as their immune boost drink. If you prefer liquids more than solid vitamins this is an easy way to protect your immune system year-round.

This can be purchased through their website or at your local herb and vitamin shop.

Our wellness and well-being is our responsibility and should be something we're making a priority. Never forget to put yourself first and pour into you. We only have one body, treat yourself with tenderness and care.

All ways always with love,
