HEALTH + WELLNESS WANTS




Alright I'm going into a “season of wellness” right now. Obviously you should always prioritize your health & well-being but I definitely think the body asks us to pay a little more attention at times. I have a few things I'm working on + a running health & wellness wish list.

First and foremost are all the sleep things. I haven’t been sleeping great for the last few weeks (even more so than usual 😩) so I'm looking for reinforcements!

Sleep is tricky because there are so many factors from lifestyle, environment, etc., that can affect it on a daily basis. I’ve been waking up with soreness in my neck + I just feeling uncomfy at times. The reality is I probably need a new mattress (love that for me) but I think a new pillow + topper is a good start. I have a down comforter and LOVE it so I'm thinking about trying this down mattress topper too... have you tried anything like it before? Would love to hear feedback.

I also think some different supplements might help. I’ve usually leery about sleep vitamins/melatonin/etc., however both the Dream Dust & Magnesium-Om blends from Moon Juice look interesting + get great reviews. I’ve been using this magnesium for awhile now which my mom swears by, however I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my actual sleep. I'm sure it depends on the person. I can always benefit from lowering overall stress too (also impacts sleep) so the Super You supplement looks like a must try too.

The Nodpod is also suppose to help with sleep. It's essentially a weighted blanket for your eyes which is pretty neat. It's suppose to help you relax + calm anxiety. 

Has anyone read any good period books? I haven't read anything beyond The Care and Keeping of You when I was like eight? LOL, I know ya'll know. On a real note- I'm interested in better understanding the female cycle, the four phases + how it relates to your daily life. In the Flo seems to focus a lot on that + how certain phases are better when it comes to exercise, etc.
