I've tried a TON of meds, tips, tricks to get over colds and flu-like illnesses faster, and reduce their severity. I've been sick with ENT illnesses too many times to count, and here are some of my top vetted recommendations. Disclaimer: I have ZERO medical training, these are just some things I have found to have helped me personally.

I used to battle insomnia and had a tough time falling asleep. In my search for rest and ways to more easily fall asleep, I curated a list of dreamy, soothing songs that capture the calming sounds of rain and singing bowls. These melodies help me drift off comfortably and quiet my racing thoughts at night.

I just had a hysterectomy in March and boy, let me tell you the recovery was far harder and is longer than I anticipated. These items helped me a lot and may help you!

Winter can be hard—especially when you’re balancing work, family, and everyone else’s needs while trying to keep your own energy, mood, and motivation intact. Short days, cold weather, and constant routines can quietly wear you down, and seasonal depression or winter slumps are more common than we admit. This list is a collection of small, supportive things that genuinely help me get through the darker months until spring feels close again. Nothing extreme, nothing unrealistic—just practical comforts, mood-boosting tools, and gentle habits that make winter feel a little lighter and more manageable. These are products and ideas that help with energy, sleep, motivation, and emotional well-being, especially for busy women and moms who don’t have the luxury of slowing life down when winter hits. Think warm light, movement, cozy routines, and small moments of care that add up over time. If winter affects your mood, focus, or overall sense of yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t need a complete overhaul to feel better. These are the things that help me hold steady, feel supported, and make it through to spring one day at a time.
