natural herbal supplements for immune system health, gut health, mental health, and healing hormonal & inflammatory acne :-) these systems are ALL inextricably linked!! so supporting one system will inevitably support the other systems and i truly recommend everyone to take all majority if not all of the supplements i recommend. these recommendations are only of the highest quality, as it is EXTREMELY important to use only high-quality, organic supplements, i know it can be more pricy, but the cheaper ones often have a lot of junk in them and are not as potent in the supplement, thus making it ineffective. some of the best brands that might not be organic but are still good quality, and most affordable are “nature's way," “solaray”, and “NOW”

Self-care has grown beyond bubble baths and face masks—it’s now about creating environments and habits that feed every part of who you are. The way we eat, the places we go, and the services we choose all shape our energy, our mood, and ultimately, our health. Start with food that loves you back. Look for places that serve clean, nutrient-rich meals—smoothie bars that use organic produce, cafés that offer adaptogenic lattes, and restaurants that make freshness their signature. If you’re cooking at home, think of it as an act of love. Create a small ritual around it: light a candle, play music, and eat slowly. Food is energy, and energy responds to intention. Then, invest in services that support your wellness journey. Maybe it’s a float therapy session to quiet your nervous system, a sound bath to balance your energy, or a lymphatic drainage massage that leaves you feeling light and renewed. These aren’t indulgences—they’re recalibrations for a body that carries energy.
These are the products I use to stay fresh, clean, moisturized, and smelling expensive at all times.
