These Are the 30 Items I Use to De-Stress Like a Wellness Expert

If you're looking to cut back on your alcohol intake but still like to enjoy a fun beverage, you need this Kin Spritz ($47) in your life. It's relaxing and yummy; what could be better?

I've tried more face masks than I care to admit, and I keep coming back to the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask ($48) whenever my skin needs some TLC. It's very thick and moisturizing but not too intense for my sensitive, combination skin. I immediately take a big exhale once it's on, and it makes my sunday nights a little less scary.

Gua sha is a facial sculpting technique that isn't always the most comfortable experience, but I find it really relaxing when I practice it. Plus, I love the way my face looks afterward. This Kora Organics Rose Quartz Heart Facial Gua Sha ($58) is so cute.

Another thing I like to do to de-stress? Read. When I'm curled up with a candle, my rose water, and a great book, I'm impossibly happy. Rebecca Makkai's The Great Believers ($14, originally $27) is next on my list.

I've got a pretty major sweet tooth, and I like to finish the day with something sweet. But if I eat too much sugar, I get a stomachache, and that's not exactly relaxing. So recently, I've switched over to drinking this Four Sigmatic Mushroom Hot Cacao With Reishi ($16). It satisfies my sweet tooth while preparing me for bed.

If you have shoulder pain that never seems to go away, like I do, you need these Kieba Massage Lacrosse Balls For Myofascial Release ($10, originally $12). I used them once in a Pilates class, and they got out a knot that must've been there for over a year. Now, I can't imagine life without them; think of it as a much more targeted foam roller.

If you're of age (21+), I highly recommend these Lord Jones Old Fashioned CBD Gumdrops ($45). They're delicious, and I take one before I go to bed, so that I don't stay up for hours watching Friends.

Ok, hear me out on this one. I get headaches, and I was putting ice packs on my face that kept falling off. This Gel Eye Mask With Eye Holes ($10) is genius because I don't have to worry about that, and it makes me feel like a superhero.

The hot product of 2021 will continue to be hand sanitizer, and this Everyone Hand Sanitizer Spray: Coconut and Lemon ($16) is the best smelling one we've ever tried. Seriously, you won't be able to go back to using anything else.

You've seen this The Five Minute Journal: A Happier You in 5 Minutes a Day ($25) everywhere, but it really does work. There's something so satisfying about starting and ending your day with gratitude and reflection.

These Slip Small Slipsilk Scrunchies ($39) are beloved because they keep your hair back without producing that dreaded bend, and without giving you a headache. It's a win all around.

If you don't have a weighted blanket, this is the year to invest. We like the look and feel of this Bearaby Cotton Napper ($249), and you can customize the weight.

My day starts when I take my first sip of iced matcha. This MatchaBar Matcha Green Tea Powder ($30 is really high quality, and when it comes to matcha, taste is so important.

Aside from being a brilliant title, How to Be Vegan and Keep Your Friends ($16, originally $20) is something I can use to help ease my anxieties about eating plant-based in a group setting. It also makes for a funny gift.

A key component of wellness for me is proper hydration, and that's why I want to treat myself to this Larq Self Cleaning Water Bottle ($95). I do enough dishes every single day, and the fact that I don't have to worry about cleaning this bottle is so awesome.

When I'm stressed, I get knots in my back, as so many of us do. Instead of living in pain, I use the Theragun Elite Percussive Therapy Device ($400). It's intense, but it really does work like you've just gotten a deep tissue massage.

This might sound insane to some people, but here's the truth: I didn't own sweatpants before last year. I never saw the need for clothes that I wouldn't wear out of the house; I'd either put on leggings or pajama pants. However, I've learned recently that it is really nice to be in loose, comfortable clothing. Shocking, I know. These Alo Muse Sweatpants ($98) do the job and still make me feel slightly pulled together.

My face gets puffy easily, and this The Skinny Confidential Hot Mess Ice Roller ($69) is a lifesaver. I keep it in the freezer and roll it over my face; it's even helped me with headaches.

For me, lighting a candle means I'm home for a while. It's kind of my switch into relaxation mode, so I'll be stocking up on this delightful Maison Louis Marie Candle No.4 Bois De Balincourt ($34).

This C & The Moon Malibu Made Body Scrub ($64) is a real treat. It smells like a cupcake, and leaves your skin softer than you could possibly imagine, even without moisturizer.

If you're reading this, you probably need to foam roll. Yes, it might be painful in the moment, but the results are well worth it. We like this Love Sweat Fitness 2-in-1 Foam Roller ($30).

Since we're all staring at a screen all day long, we need blue light glasses. When I don't wear these Felix Gray Hamilton Glasses ($105), I can feel the headache come on.

One of the most important cornerstones of wellness is staying hydrated, and while I love my collagen lattes and kombuchas, I need to get more regular water in my life. Enter the Prodyne FI-3 Fruit Infusion Flavor Pitcher ($19, originally $25), which infuses my water with a little bit of fruit, jazzing it up a bit. My favorite combos are raspberry pineapple and cucumber mint, but the world's your oyster when it comes to these.

As a self-proclaimed lip balm expert, there is nothing more annoying than when a product doesn't do it's job. The Lord Jones Whole Plant Formula CBD Lip Balm ($19) is actually moisturizing without being overly goopy; in other words, a near perfect product.

I need to get some kind of movement in every day for my sanity, and this Alo Warrior Mat ($100) is a really sturdy option, where you won't slip out of downward dog. It's a wellness essential for me.

My brother gave me these Ouai Chill Pills Bath Bombs ($30) and wow, they're great. I'm lucky enough to have a bathtub, and it's a really nice treat to soak after a long day.

You know what's stressful? Deodorants with aluminum and other harsh chemicals. You know what else is stressful? Body odor. This Agent Nateur Holi(rose) No4 Deodorant ($26) is the only natural deodorant I've been able to wear all day long without needing to reapply, and it comes in the loveliest rose scent.

Speaking of collagen lattes, this Vital Proteins Collagen Latte Supplement ($45) is a great treat when I'm bored with my regular tea or water. The added protein doesn't hurt either.

When I need a moment to recenter myself, I like to write. Since I spend so much time on the computer, I like taking pen to paper with this Intention Journal ($39).

In my opinion, everything starts with sleep, which is why I like this Pinch Provisions Digital Detox Kit ($16, originally $26). I've learned through experience that watching TV or being on my phone right before bed severely hinders my quality of sleep, and this kit is the perfect complement to my willpower.
