SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS TO ELEVATE A SELF-CARE ROUTINE
Spring is in the air + I’m happy to be writing this during the week of Earth Day! This season always brings a sense of a fresh start - the sunshine starts making more of an appearance and the blooming flowers are inspiring because if these flowers can flourish and thrive after a dreary winter, then you can too!
It’s important to take the time for self-care so you can show up for yourself, for others and for mama earth too. I’ve created a list of some of my favorite sustainable brands + their products you can use to elevate your self-care routine. Between a nourishing body wash, clarifying facial mist, a soft, sustainable robe you can wrap yourself in + more! Not only do these products make you feel calm and refreshed, they are clean and natural so you can feel even more at ease incorporating them into your daily routine.
With clean, healthy and safe ingredients the Nécessaire Body Essentials Kit is without a doubt a power trio. Nécessarie is a personal care company that believe self-care is a necessity. I’ve been using the natural fragranced sandalwood body wash + exfoliator and using those two along with the fragrance-free body lotion after a shower is a game changer. Not to mention the chic sustainable packaging is the cherry on top. They have a bergamot and eucalyptus scent that I definitely have my eye on next!
Made with just plants, herbs and non-toxic ingredients, there is so much to love about OM Organics. I’ve been absolutely loving the Spirulina Tonic Clarifying Mist + Wild Plum Hair Oil.
The facial mist made of Spirulina, Rosemary Water and Sandalwood Water is a perfect addition to a skincare routine. I use this as a toner after I wash my face with a cleanser, then I follow it with a moisturizer to fully absorb the facial mist and it leaves a nice, dewy glow!
The lovely hair oil made with argan oil, broccoli Seed oil and macadamia oil adds a soft shine to hair and helps to strengthen. I usually use this product before I apply heat to my hair to protect the ends and it creates an overall softness and shine to my hair.
When I say I live out of this cloud cotton robe most days out of the week, I truly mean it. Parachute is a modern lifestyle brand committed to helping people feel at home. Their products are thoughtfully designed in Los Angeles and manufactured using only premium quality materials. With this soft, cozy robe made from premium 100% long-staple Turkish cotton, this piece adds the perfect luxury touch to a self-care routine and bring some relaxed comfort to your world.
I recently discovered Organic Olivia and I’m shocked I haven’t found out about them sooner! This health + wellness brand is focused on holistic healing and natural remedies through herbs and adaptogens in the form of tinctures, supplements + more. My personal favorite product is the Brain Juice herbal tincture. Working from home and starring at my laptop for most of the day, I tend to get brain fog, fatigue and lack of motivation. I wanted a natural remedy to help give me the focus boost I needed and this was the perfect match!
Brain Juice is a blend of medicinal herbs that helps:
• support mental + physical energy
• assist cognition + focus
• combat brain fog
• aid memory + productivity
I’ve been putting about a full dropper in my water 2-3x a day and I’ve felt a difference in both my mental + physical energy. This product has definitely elevated my self-care routine and daily regimen.
And lastly, of course it wouldn’t be a self-care routine without some essential oils. With the scents of patchouli, lavender, vanilla and Himalayan cedar wood, I can’t get enough of this Daydream Essential Oil. Add a couple of drops to your diffuser and with the extra kick of the organic full spectrum CBD, you’ll have a room filled with a relaxing, comforting fragrance in no time. I love diffusing this essential oil after a long work day to help me relax and unwind.
I hope that you found this blog post helpful + inspiring in some way! Caring for yourself is so important and being mindful about the products you use for a self-care routine can help yourself and the planet too. I would love to know if you end up using any of these natural products I shared and what your self-care practice is!
With much love + care,
