My at-home wellness toolkit — recovery, relaxation, and body care, curated for the solo life.
My physical therapist turned me on to this after I had shoulder surgery. The best part is you can reach those sections of your back that you ordinarily could not reach. But it also can be used in other parts of your body, like under your foot and you...
LiBa Deep Tissue Back Neck Massager Blue
These are great to have around. They take up almost no storage space. They are very easy to travel with. Also make good gifts. There is no reason not to have and more importantly, use them.
Resistance Bands for Workout, Therapy, Pilates
This is the exact brand and model that I use. I recommend it because I've been using this for years, around seven or eight or more years. I use it in the wintertime regularly but not really as much in the warmer months because of humidity. I even gav...
URPOWER 500mL Essential Oil Diffuser Humidifier
Looks like they no longer have the brand that I bought (Naipo) but this is basically the same massager. Yes, it's intended for the neck and it does work well. Especially with the heat if you need to relax, but sometimes I slide it down and use it on ...
Back Neck Massager with heat.
I know it seems counterintuitive, but when you lay your bare skin down on these acupressure points, it's stimulating and kind of relaxing at the same time. Especially the neck pillow kind of gives you this tingling sensation. And it feels real good, ...
Acupressure Mat & Pillow Set for pain relief and relaxation.
This is a company I trust. I have been buying essential oils from this place for years. I use the essential oils in my diffuser. You can also make your own soaps, and you can also buy soaps already made and private label them.

I keep this foam roller in my bedroom within sight. It encourages me to use it nightly to roll my lower back since my lower back hurts due to my lordosis. I use it in many other exercises as well.

No, i'm not recommending these for playing tennis. I actually use tennis balls as part of my exercise routine. This is one way I use it to strengthen my weak ankles: https://youtube.com/shorts/KLuZhXWIPss?is=yuqp5Sn5RvWLafY6. Also, when you have knot...
Pressurized Tennis Balls for exercises not tennis.
So dry brushing is really good for moving the lymphatic fluid. I didn't learn of the importance of it until I had cancer. It was in my lymph nodes, and I had to have several removed. Unlike the circulatory system that has the heart to pump it, the l...
Here's another easy way to upgrade your shower. Put a filter on your shower heads. You'll remove a lot of the toxins that seep in through your skin, which is the largest organ in the body. I became hyper aware of toxins after I got diagnosed with can...
Aquabliss SF100 Daily Revitalize Shower Filter, in different finishes.
This needs to be in every solo dweller's home. Buy one for every room in the house. Trust me you will use it. Because sometimes the wall corner just doesn't cut it. And after you've had shoulder surgery, you learn you cannot reach as far back as you ...
