Iliza Shlesinger Hates Mom-Shamers As Much As You Do

An alarm clock for an anniversary gift? Hear us out. A Lofie isn’t any old alarm clock. Instead you’re guaranteeing your partner (or parents) a better night’s sleep and much happier mornings – the ultimate gift. Loftie lets you leave your phone in another room overnight, and includes a nightlight, white noise, wellness content (like sound baths and breathwork) and, oh yeah, an alarm that gently lulls you awake. Bonus: it also doubles as a speaker!

Tina Chow Rudolf created Strange Bird as a company designed to be diverse, inclusive, and representative of faces in her own life. The brand’s products combine wellness and skincare, and are formulated with natural products like ginseng, ginger, and goji berry, as well as flower and crystal essences. The Inner Clarity cleanser is a 3-in-1 product that’s a cleanser, exfoliator, and mask. Plus, one percent of sales go to supporting organizations that focus on women’s mental health.

“What we put on our bodies is just as valuable as what we put inside,” notes Balshin. With a focus on making CBD approachable and accessible for all, Yesterday Wellness’ CBD balm has just five ingredients: beeswax, MCT oil, broad spectrum hemp extract, lavender oil and eucalyptus oil. “This way, there are fewer novel ingredients that you need to familiarize yourself with,” he says. When coupled with synergistic ingredients, topical CBD formulas take effect quickly—ideal for anyone who needs relief fast, notes Balshin. And the best part? It smells incredible. Lavender + eucalyptus + the slightly earthy scent of hemp “really is the holy grail,” he states, and we have to agree. If you prefer or want to add a CBD oil, we love their peppermint, lemon or original oils, too.

From targeted ads trying to sell us supplements that promise “better” versions of ourselves, to posh co-working spaces for women that guarantee inclusivity and networking (with a $200+ monthly price tag) all in the name of self care, we’ve all been sold the idea that the harder we work and invest in ourselves, the more serious we are about our emotional and physical health. Self Care is here to dismantle the corruption that leaks like poisonous gas in the wellness industry by introducing us to characters Maren and Devin, the two co-founders of a wellness social media startup called Richual. After Maren tweets something inappropriate about the president’s daughter, Devin forces her to take a “digital detox” so she can deal with the PR shitshow. Meanwhile, the company’s board member, Evan Wiley, is about to get exposed for his sexual misconduct. Behind the scenes is the hardworking head of content, Khadijah Walker, who’s been scared to bring up a secret that, once exposed, reveal just how “inclusive” and “feminist” Richual really is.

You’ve probably heard of melatonin. It’s a hormone secreted by your brain’s pineal gland to get you ready for relaxation. As we get older, the body produces less of it (#thanksmothernature) and that may affect your ability to fall or stay asleep. Taking a melatonin supplement may help counter lower levels in your body to help your sleep quality and quantity. It’s safe and non-addictive, but definitely talk to your doctor if you have more questions about how it can help you. These fruity-flavored gummies contain multiple ingredients to help you get a good night of shuteye. Melatonin works with L-Theanine, a calming amino acid that’s also found in green tea, and other botanicals like chamomile and passionflower that soothe and relax your mind before bed. You won’t feel any grogginess the next morning as the gummies are drug-free and non-habit forming. They’re flavored with blackberry and a hint of mint, and there are no artificial flavors or colors. Chew two gummies 30 minutes before bed, no food or water needed. Says one chillaxed customer, “For decades, I have been plagued by various levels of insomnia. That was before an angel referred me to OLLY Restful Sleep Gummy Supplements. Combining the perfect texture of Welch’s Mixed Fruit Snacks and the nostalgic flavor of Children’s Dimetapp, these gummies’ relaxing effect are felt within minutes, with a good night’s sleep always soon to follow.”

KN95s + cute patterns = a win.

A lovely scented candle to take away the day's stress.
