If this isn’t the year for taking care of yourself and wellbeing, I don’t know when is! 2020 has been one wild year for all of us. I think we could all agree that we must keep up on our wellbeing and self-care more than ever.
It’s the year of taking care of ourselves, so we can better take care of others. I’m sharing items that I use for my health and creating a healthier home. From wellbeing and self-care, to home goods and gifts that give back, I hope these items will inspire your holiday gifting this year!
1. Mate The Label Organic Loungewear
This has been the year of loungewear as many of us spend much more time at home. I love these items for cozy days around the house, and I like to sleep in them, too. A few of my favorites are the Organic Terry Lounge Short, Organic Cotton Classic Tee, and Organic Thermal Wide Leg Pant.
2. Lunya Organic Sleepwear
Silk pajamas have upped my sleep game. Lunya organic silk sleep sets are so soft and comfortable. The best part - you can throw them in the washing machine with the rest of your clothes, no special care needed. I especially love the tank and shorts set and tee and shorts set.
3. The Sill
A live plant is always a great gift idea when you’re stumped on what to give. The Sill ships potted plants straight to your front door. From succulents and snake plants to holiday wreaths and elegant orchids, fresh greenery brings life to a room and helps filter the air!
4. Molekule Air Filter
Speaking of filtering the air, now that we’re spending more time than ever at home, paying a bit more attention to the air quality inside our house is so important as it can actually be more toxic than the air outside. Molekule Air Filters not only have a modern, sleek appearance, but they are high-performing, quiet, and easily moveable from room to room.
5. Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Blue Light is making us sick! I have worn blue block light blocking glasses for years now and can completely tell a difference...plus the research doesn't lie! You can watch this quick video that explains why this matters! Not all blue blockers fully block blue light; the only two brands I trust are RaOptics and BluBlox. Avoiding blue light and quality sleep should be just as much a priority as eating healthy!
6. Athleta Coaster Luxe Sweatshirt
If we’re going to be home, we might as well be comfortable! This is my favorite sweatshirt - comfortable yet stylish. I have this top is so many colors! It’s perfect to pair with your favorite leggings.
7. Organifi Gold
Organifi Gold is an all natural, organic superfood tea with ingredients to boost immunity through better rest. It includes turmeric, mushrooms, magnesium, ginger, and other nourishing ingredients to support calmness and comfort the body. I enjoy a glass of this at night - it’s so soothing!
8. Beautycounter Ultimate Renewal Bath Set
People are turning to self care more than ever this season (we need it!). Upgrade me-time with this skin-softening trio, designed to create a luxurious at-home spa moment to reveal hydrated, healthier-looking skin and boost peace of mind. It includes everything needed to unwind before, during, and after bathing.
Beautycounter is a B Corporation focused on bringing the safest skincare and makeup to the marketplace while simultaneously fighting in Washington for more health protective laws in the personal care industry. When you shop with Beautycounter, they are able to give back to trusted non-profits, charitable organizations and research groups that help push the better beauty movement forward! The Good Scents Hand Cream Trio is another great gift, especially for all of the frontline workers this year - the perfect stocking stuffer!

9. Live Large Love Loud Hats
My most favorite of them all. This is my non-profit that I created in honor of my late love Tom Alexander. He unexpectedly passed away and has left such an important message on my heart to share with the world. This life is so very short, so turn up the volume on your life…Live Large and Love Loud! This huge selection of hats shares that message in his honor and ALL proceeds are donated to Roundup River Ranch. A camp experience for children with serious illnesses and their families at their beautiful Colorado ranch.
10. Rothy’s
Rothy’s began as an idea to turn recycled, single-use plastics into something both beautiful and useful. They have taken millions of plastic bottles destined for landfills and repurposed them into timeless, durable shoes and bags. I LOVE the sneakers (run true to size), the points (I suggest going up a half size), the essential tote pictured here, and the essential pouch - I have a slight addiction! I don’t feel guilty buying them when I know they are saving the world from plastic!! Want $20 off your first order? Make sure you use this discount code link!
11. Athleta Balance Joggers
These incredibly soft joggers are a weekend must-have. Whether you wear with slippers and a sweater, or take outside with sneakers for a day of errands, I can’t recommend these pants enough!
