Self-Care Resources

As a mom and therapist, it's important that I take care of myself so I can keep caring for others. It's important for you to take care of you, too! Below are some items I personally use and recommend.

Hidrate Spark PRO Smart Water Bottle

by Hidrate Spark

I often get hyper-focused on what I'm doing and forget to stop and take a drink of water. This water bottle lights up when I need to take a drink of water, and it also lights up to celebrate when I've achieved my goal! This water bottle syncs via Bluetooth to my phone, tracks my water consumption, gives me information, and celebrates my water wins!

Headstand Bench

by KOKSRY

This headstand bench has been a fun self-care item for me. Despite me almost always having neck and shoulder pain, this doesn't add to it! It's fun to push myself and my strength while also being mindful in managing my balance. I love that it's cushion is comfortable, it's very stable, and that it can folded down and stored away easily when not in use.

Foot Spa

by CANGO

The feet hold nerves and acupressure points that, when massaged, help relieve stress, tension, and pain. This foot spa has bubble massage, vibration massage, and shiatsu rollers, and it also has temperature control! The foot spa also comes with a 16oz bag of a calming Lavender Epsom Salt foot soak.

Large Reusable Gel Ice Pack

by Magic Gel

This large, reusable ice pack is very versatile. It can be great at helping to cool down your nervous system or helping you feel grounded. It can also be helpful for reducing pain, inflammation, and more!

Neck and Shoulder Hot or Cold Gel Pack

by Magic Gel

This gel pack is made specifically for your neck and shoulder areas. It can be cooled or warmed and it's reusable. It's great for relaxation or relieving pain, stress, and more!

Heated Neck Stretcher

by TINHIN

I live with a lot of neck pain and stress certainly adds to it. This cervical neck stretcher with heating pad (that gets really hot!) has helped to ease my neck pain and stress. It also comes with a nice storage bag!

Fascia Muscle Roller

by Coolife

In addition to my neck and shoulders, my legs tend to experience a lot of pain. The pain varies if I've been more or less active, but this roller helps relieve that pain.

Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set

by ProsourceFit

Yes, this mat and pillow set looks like it would be uncomfortable, torture even! When you gently lay on it, however, it's quite relaxing. The acupressure points help target pressure points to release stress and tension. Being that the mat and pillow are separate, it makes it to where you can move each (or use one or the other) to customize it for each person.

Faux Sheepskin Rug or Bed/ Sofa Cover

by Reafort

I have this faux sheepskin rug/sofa cover in grey. I use it as a rug in front of my dresser, where I step each day. It is soft, machine washable, and does not shed. It's helpful to take a moment to be mindful and ground myself when my feet touch it.

CranRx Cranberry Gummies

by Nature's Way

Urinary Tract health is important for a lot of reasons. When we're uncomfortable "down there," though, it can add a lot of stress! These gummies help a ton. They are gentle, they taste great, and they work fast! (Don't take them if you're allergic to any of the ingredients or otherwise have a reaction.)

Jade Roller & Gua Sha

by BAIMEI

This jade facial roller and Gua Sha are very relaxing. They're cool to the touch naturally but can also be cooled in the refrigerator. They come in a nice box that can be used for storage.

Reusable Microfiber Face Cleansing Cloths

by Sunland

These microfiber cloths are amazing! They're gentle and have held up really well after many uses. They can be used with water alone or with a cleanser. They have a little pocket that you can slip over your fingers for better control, and they come with a laundry bag!

Hanging Wild Bird Feeder

by Twinkle Star

Nature is soothing. This hanging bird feeder has been great for attracting wild birds to my yard. I have it hung up from a shepherd's hook, but you could certainly hang it elsewhere. (Tip: I use the free Merlin Bird ID app to help identify the birds.)

Bird Bath with Solar Powered Fountain

by Enhon

This bird bath has been a nice addition to my yard. I like that it's not permanent, it's moveable, and it's solar powered. While the interior of the bath has lost some of the paint and the solar panel has become discolored, everything is still functional and looks great. The birds love it and it's nice to watch them enjoy a bath.

Portable Metal Pill Organizer

by TEAHOOR

This pill organizer has been great for day trips and other travel. The individual sections can be added and removed. With adults and kids, I often bring a few ibuprofen, Pepto Bismol, etc. of adult and children strengths "just in case." It's nice to be able to load a few of each into their own containers so they can be easy to organize and find. As a bonus, they include an extra top and hook so you can make two sets of them!

Self Love Club Journal

by JJ Publishing

This is a nice little journal. I've purchased it for use with a women's retreat that has a self-love theme. The ladies loved it!

Magnetic Bookmarks with Inspirational Quotes

by Paper Junkie

The ladies at the women's retreat also were given magnetic bookmarks. They got to choose the inspirational message they loved the most, and many ladies had a hard time choosing! These bookmarks are great for holding your spot in a book, journal, workbook, and so on. Seeing the nice message on the bookmark has a nice "pick me up" feeling that comes along with it.

Inspirational 2 Pocket Folders

by Paper Junkie

In addition to the Self Love Club Journal, I also gave out a 2-pocket folder that each lady got to choose. The quality of these folders is great and they're beautiful. The ladies loved them!

Floral Ballpoint Pens

by Ubabe

These pens are gorgeous and each one in the pack is unique. They write so smooth and the pens have a nice weight to them in your hand. Also, each pen comes with an additional ink cartridge that you can drop in. All the ladies at the women's retreat loved receiving one.
