Wellness Essentials from Amazon
You really can’t beat Amazon; from the prices to the ease of being able to shop online and have something delivered within a day or two, I rarely leave my house to shop these days. Today I wanted to share some of my favorite wellness essentials that I’ve gotten from Amazon and use every day.
dry brush
Dry brushing exfoliates your skin without causing irritation, promotes lymphatic flow and drainage, and detoxifies the skin by increasing blood circulation. I was hesitant to try it as I have extremely sensitive skin, but this is a gentle, soothing process (you’re not supposed to apply a ton of pressure). I dry brush twice a week for about five minutes; it’s an easy habit to introduce and stay consistent with because you can habit-stack it before your shower. While the price point of dry brushes seems to be all over the place, I love this one as it’s only $25, the bristles are high quality, and it comes with a longer handle so you can get harder-to-reach areas.
levoit air purifier
To say I’m obsessed with this air purifier is an understatement; I have one of these in every room, and it really saved us during fire season. You can notice a difference in the air, especially if you have pets. There are different settings, including one for night, so you don’t have to worry about the noise level and it syncs up to your phone so you can adjust it remotely. The night setting is barely audible, and I typically use the timer setting to run it for 8 hours at a time. The filters are reusable, and easy to clean, too.
beekeeper's naturals propolis throat spray
You may have seen this throat spray on TikTok; it’s definitely worth the hype, all-natural, and I don’t travel without it. The propolis extract promotes your immune system, and can soothe a sore throat, too. Shake then spray around 4 sprays into your mouth daily.
dumbbells, resistance bands, and kettlebells
Buying dumbbells, resistance bands, kettlebells, and an adjustable workout bench for my home has helped me prioritize fitness and made working out a daily habit. I recommend adding the weights to your cart and then utilizing the “save for later” feature to be notified when they go on sale. These resistance bands have held up really well and kept their shape, even when I accidentally stuck them in the washer. My go-to workout socks are also from Amazon; they have the perfect amount of scrunch without losing their shape.
yoga mat
This extra-thick yoga mat is perfect for stretching or working out. It adds extra cushion so there’s more support, yet it has held its shape over the years I’ve had it, so it’s definitely durable. It comes in different colors and the price can’t be beat, although I have heard that some people have issues with the travel strap.
candle warmer lamp
Candle warmers are perfect and make it healthier to enjoy candles as there’s no open flame, soot, or smoke. You can also control the intensity of how quickly it burns, which is great if you’re sensitive to strong fragrance like me. The height of this lamp is adjustable to fit a variety candle sizes; the brightness is adjustable, too. It has a remote and timer function so you can set it and forget it. If you’ve ever dealt with an uncentered candle wick or candle that won’t stop tunneling, a warming lamp is ideal for you. I also recommend this wick trimmer; no need to spend $20 when this one looks high-end and gets the job done.
essential oil diffuser
I keep this diffuser in my bathroom and love to run it while I shower; it makes my shower feel more like a spa experience and helps me wind down after a long day. This diffuser is my second favorite and I don’t travel without it; it’s small enough to fit in your carry-on and makes your entire hotel room smell good.
natural bamboo bath mat
Once you try a bamboo bath mat, you’ll never go back to the old-school bath mats, which collect mold and bacteria like crazy. It’s non-slip, easy to clean, and you can’t beat the price.
seventh generation disinfecting multi-surface wipes
I’ve had these wipes delivered to my house every month for the last four years; you won’t find a better price anywhere else. I love these much more than Clorox wipes as they’re gentle but still effective enough to clean all surfaces. The lemon scent is my favorite, but lemongrass is more consistently in stock.
organic tea bags
Another wellness product I subscribe to on Amazon is tea. My favorite brand, Art of Tea, is a high-quality, organic tea brand and their blends are so much better than what I’ve found at grocery stores. My favorites are the Earl Grey Crème and Pacific Coast Mint, which I drink every night. You save money by subscribing on Amazon, and I find I get a better deal ordering this way as opposed to directly from the retailer’s site.
