My Simple List of Wellness Musts 🫶
My routine has become so special to me because of these simple things…
☀️☀️☀️
🧘🏻♀️ Reformer Pilates classes
I’ve been doing Pilates on and off since 2018. I recently got back to it in August after a two year break. I always forget how much I love it until I get consistent with it again! It’s low impact and I love how strong I feel again. It’s been a staple every morning for me now.
💡 30 minutes in front of my happy light
I was dealing with a really bad phase of depression this summer after my bunny passed away. My mom got me a happy light thinking it might help. I honestly don’t know how much it affects me, but it’s easy to integrate into your routine. When I’m starting my work day, I just prop it up next to my laptop and turn it on. Definitely doesn’t hurt to try it, especially with seasonal blues right around the corner.
🌿 All of my supplements I take in the morning
Herbs and supplements I take in tincture form:
- Iodine (for thyroid support since I have Hashimoto’s)
- Ashwagandha (for anxiety)
- Milk Thistle (liver detoxification)
- Black Walnut (for chronic candida)
- Lemon Balm (for anxiety)
- B-12
Supplements I take it capsule form:
- Vitamin D & K2
- Probiotic
A few more ways I get what my body needs:
- Liposomal Vitamin C
- Liposomal Glutatione
- Brazil nuts for Selenium (again for thyroid support)
- NP Thyroid (my medication for hypothyroidism)
🍳 A healthy breakfast
I’ve been trying to eat more protein with my breakfast or at least have something filling. My options are limited for breakfast since I have to stay away from gluten and dairy, so I’ve been trying to convince myself to eat regular lunch or dinner foods for breakfast, but for some reason I can’t wrap my head around it! Last week, I made more eggs with veggies than usual, but it was so good.
🌙✨
🧖🏻♀️ White clay mask 2-3 times per week
Pure white clay (can be found at health stores) is amazing for your skin. It sucks out all the icky stuff from your pores. It’s been really hard to upkeep my skin lately, but I’m loving the clay masks so far.
🍒 Tart Cherry juice + magnesium
Ok so I mix these two together. I have a powdered magnesium I absolutely HATE the taste of so I wanted to improve it but in a way that also gives me extra health benefits. Tart Cherry juice is great for fighting inflammation, muscle recovery, sleep, and boosting your immune system. I drink it about an hour before bed to make me extra sleepy and promote a more restful night!
🚿 Shower with my filtered shower head
My preference is always evening showers. And ever since I was able to upgrade my shower head it’s even better! A filtered shower is a must for anyone and everyone, even if you think your water is clean. There’s so much icky stuff in the pipes of everyone’s houses, so filtering it is essential because it’s so much better for your skin and hair. I have the one I use linked in my bio for a discount!

Hey everyone! Drawing inspiration from my own journey, I wanted to share more about how you can create your very own 'wellness picture' – a holistic routine that truly supports you. It's not about being perfect, but about building sustainable habits that make you feel good, inside and out. When it comes to movement, my love for Reformer Pilates isn't just about strength; it's about mindful movement that connects my body and mind. If you're new to it, start with a beginner series. The controlled movements and core focus can be incredibly transformative, and it's so gentle on the joints! Finding a studio with experienced instructors makes all the difference. For those days when the sun plays hide-and-seek, my Happy Light is a game-changer. Beyond just seasonal blues, consistent light therapy can genuinely boost your mood and energy. When choosing one, look for 10,000 lux and make sure it’s UV-filtered. Placing it near you during your morning routine, like while you enjoy your Healthy Breakfast, makes it easy to integrate without feeling like an extra chore. Speaking of breakfast, if you're struggling with gluten or dairy, don't be afraid to think outside the box! I've found success with savory options like leftover roasted veggies with an egg, or even a protein smoothie with compliant protein powder. It’s all about finding what fuels your body best. Navigating the world of Supplements can feel overwhelming, but for me, they’ve been key in addressing specific needs like thyroid support and anxiety. Before adding anything new, always chat with your doctor or a qualified nutritionist. They can help you understand what your body truly needs and recommend high-quality brands. My routine includes specific tinctures and capsules, and I always make sure they fit into my morning schedule so I don't forget. As my day winds down, the evening rituals become just as important. My weekly White Clay Mask isn't just skincare; it's a moment of self-care. Clay masks are fantastic for drawing out impurities and can be customized with essential oils or hydrosols for different skin types. For a truly restful night, combining Tart Cherry Juice with Magnesium has been a revelation for my sleep. Magnesium comes in various forms (glycinate is great for sleep!), so find one that suits you. And trust me, a good-quality tart cherry juice makes all the difference in taste! Finally, a Filtered Shower head has truly elevated my daily cleanse. It's easy to overlook the water quality, but filtering out chlorine and other nasties can dramatically improve your hair and skin health. It's a small investment with big returns, especially if you have sensitive skin or spend a lot of time in the shower. Remember, your wellness picture is unique to you. Experiment, listen to your body, and don't be afraid to adjust. Consistency over perfection is the secret ingredient!
