Jen's Favorite Wellness Trends & Products
While one doesn’t typically think of organization as a form of “wellness,” or “self care,” I absolutely do. The aesthetics and structure that come with organization absolutely appeal to me, but the peace of mind and internal clarity are what I believe in so deeply. Now that we have discussed that organization is in fact an act of self-care, I am going to go over some of the other wellness trends and products I practice, use, and love.
LIQUID IV
It’s worth mentioning that staying hydrated in general is one of my main focuses recently. With that, Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier has me completely infatuated. 1 of their sticks provides 3 times the amount of electrolytes in traditional sports drinks, as well as 5 essential vitamins. Their Seaberry flavor is also tropical and delightful! To no exaggeration, when I properly hydrate throughout the day (shoutout to my Stanley cup too), my mood and energy levels are instantly elevated.
OURA RING
I should start this by saying that if there is one thing I am prioritizing most in my wellness routine, it would be sleep. I am so grateful for my businesses, but at the same time, it’s a pretty common occurrence for me to sacrifice hours (and hours) of sleep. After looking into the Oura Ring, I was instantly drawn to the fact that their entire mission was improving mental and physical health (via sleep). Oura tracks your sleep quality and sleep stages with research-grade sensors. It also can support you in your fitness journey by showing you your heart rate, activity levels, and training frequency to tell if you're hitting your goals. Not only has it allowed me to understand my body to greater depths, but it’s encouraged me to prioritize myself and my health.
ATHLETIC GREENS
Similar to my method with Liquid IV, I love to multitask my water consumption with a little extra dose of vitamins and minerals. As cheesy as it may sound, AG1 has changed my life. Not only do I have the affirmation that I am nourishing my body with high quality vitamins and pre/probiotics, but I can truly feel the difference. My digestion and energy levels have improved so much with consistent use. I am also fully convinced regular consumption has helped boost my immune system. Go to athleticgreens.com/lifeinjeneral to receive 1 year supply of Vitamin D3 + K2 and five AG1 travel packs with your first purchase
MICRO WORKOUTS
If you are anything like me, trying to find time and energy for a 60 minute HIIT workout feels near impossible. By removing a time barrier, workouts feel so much more approachable. This can look like a 10 minute pilates video on youtube, or 1 minute of squats and lunges. This bite sized workout is the perfect amount of time to make me feel recharged and refreshed.They might be short, but they make a difference!
HIGHER DOSE
There are few things that can relax me as much as Higher Dose’s Infrared Sauna Blanket. I initially started using it for a little extra glow to my skin, but was instantly captivated how it made me feel after using it. The Infrared Sauna Blanket has grounding layers of crystal, charcoal, and clay to promote a deeper state of rest. It does wonders for circulation as well! Higher Dose also has a PEMF Mat and Red Light Face Mask that I am hoping to try soon! All of there products seem to truly take your wellness journey to the next level!
CYCLE SYNCING
I can’t be the only one who blames their “time of the month” on just about everything. From sugar binges to breaking out, I always rule it to my period. Although I am still new to the concepts and practices, my understanding is that we have the ability to improve our quality of life by taking note of how our hormones change throughout the month. I am constantly trying to understand how to eat, drink, and exercise in a way that supports the different phases of my cycle.
BEAM
As you have probably caught on to, I am in a place with my wellness journey where I am prioritizing products that help me unwind and destress. Beam has a variety of blends that support anything from recovery to an energy boost. While I love all their blends, I have been taking their Dream powder in the evenings (it basically tastes like hot chocolate before bed)! Not only has my sleep improved, but my stress levels have improved immensely! Use my code LIFEINJENERAL to get 35% off your first order when you subscribe and then 20% off all following orders!
