Our Assistant Fulfillment Manager Shares Her Self-Care Routine

Taking care of my skin has always been an important part of my daily routine. I like to see it as a ritual that I practice every morning and night. Recently, I have been focusing more on taking care of my hair since I have neglected it over the years. It can be overwhelming with the amount of different products on the market, so I look for clean products that not only deliver the results I’m looking for, but can be used in multiple ways. That way, my routine is simple and easy! 

One of my go-to products is the Act + Acre Apple Stem Cell Serum, which promotes hair growth, combats shedding, and regenerates your skin. I use it on my scalp and face, and, after a few weeks of consistently using it, I’ve noticed my hair and skin feel more hydrated and my hair looks fuller. Another product I’ve been loving is the natureofthings Cleansing Body and Scalp Polish, which I use as a detox/shampoo for my hair, and a lather for my body. The smell is amazing, and my skin feels so soft as a result.

Journaling has been a recent addition to my daily routine. I can be very critical of myself, and I tend to get overwhelmed easily. I wanted to start writing down my thoughts and feelings, but didn’t know how to start. The Five Minute Journal by Intelligent Change was a great tool for me to get started. It’s a guided journal that only takes five minutes of your time, focusing on gratitude, affirmations, and daily reflections. I noticed a huge improvement in my mood when I started filling it out, and overall felt more appreciative and grounded. I’ve noticed that when I start my day journaling, I accomplish most of my written intentions for the day, which feels very rewarding for me. 

After a long and busy week at the warehouse, I like to unwind and treat myself by taking a nice, warm bath with soothing bath salts. My favorite brand is the Costa Brazil Sal De Banho Bath Salts, and I also like to use the Wildflower Healing Relief Stick to help loosen any tight muscles.  My job is physically demanding, so sometimes I feel sore by the end of the week, and these two products are perfect for relaxation and recovery.
