We are entrenched in articles, podcasts and stories about new year’s resolutions, being better this year in every way, and making lifestyle changes that stick. We don’t expect you to do it alone. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite tools to help you live your best life in 2023!

 

The Bellabeat Ivy wellness tracker

The Bellabeat Ivy (a feminine accessory in blush rose gold or blush silver) is one of the top wearables specifically made for women that doubles as an elegant statement bracelet. Ivy is the only health tracker designed and engineered for women which correlates menstrual cycle data, lifestyle habits, and biometric readings. In sync with the Bellabeat App on your phone, it reveals a comprehensive and accurate reporting. It tracks your heart rate, cycle data, fertility, sleep patterns, and provides a daily readiness + wellness score. $249

We’re bringing #SelfCareSunday back to life. Spend a little time on your facial features this year. This eye lift wand will make you feel healthier and look younger. It comes with 100 doses which can be applied topically. You’ll see visible results in a few weeks to 30 days. Keeping our faces youthful is not just for the celebrity crowd. Try this non-invasive option vs looking to surgery down the line. $149

Divya’s Ayurveda Reset Kit

It’s a new year, so it’s time to kick those healthy eating habits into place. The Ayurveda Reset Kit from Divya’s does just that! The 3-day package is a combination of delicious plant-based, one pot meals, teas and broths that use flavorful blends of organic spices and herbs for a gentle detox effect.

Cozy Earth apparel

Living in comfort goes a long way for our physical and mental health. Cozy Earth is one of our most favorite companies (they make comforters and towels, but also athleisure wear).  Whether it’s for a workout, a walk, or just WFH, their super soft Modal V-Neck Tee features a 4-way stretch fabric and side slits for extra mobility. This feminine silhouette is perfectly relaxed, comfortable, and flattering. You can even dress it up as this tee pairs effortlessly with any skirt or pant! Their Modal Jogger showcases a unique pique knit texture that moves with your body, featuring deep side pockets and an elastic drawstring waistband that provides an adjustable fit. $95/$145

Lola Arnao’s Luxury Trio

Lola Arnao Beauty boasts hand crafted self care products by mother-daughter founders, Kathy Griswold and Angela Gargano. Angela is a former sommelier-turned-clean beauty enthusiast. Kathy is a chef of over 50 years with a passion for natural ingredients who’s found a new calling in the world of sustainability. Their Luxury Trio includes a limited edition solid lotion bar, a 4 oz avocado-oat bath bar and their luxury shave set (a 6 oz fragrance-free solid shave bar, bamboo shave brush and bamboo bar storage box). $110

Boxed Water

“Drink more water” and “be less wasteful”  are common New Year’s resolutions– kill two birds with one stone and try Boxed Water. This company prioritizes sustainability, with completely sustainable packaging that is 100% recyclable and refillable. Guzzle down your H2O knowing that even the cap can be reused. Boxed Water bestows a plethora of both plain and flavored waters – including but not limited to: cucumber, blackberry, and lemon. We recommend the cool, calm, and collected Cucumber Water. This beverage will have you dreaming of the spa and adding a bit of recyclable luxury into your everyday ritual. Bottoms up! $55

Grooming Lounge Body Care Products

 Lather yourself in opulence with Grooming Lounge, said to be the country’s premier source for luxurious men’s grooming. We suggest waking yourself up with energizing and nose-turning men’s body wash – cheekily named Our Best Smeller. This wash is paraben free and packed with Acai, Aloe Vera, and Black Pepper Oil. Every man needs a decadent cologne – one that is deeply rich and masculine. The Grooming Lounge’s Magnificent Bastard Eau de Toilette is only worn by men who defy such definitions as hero or villain, good or evil, friend or foe. This fine luxury is surprisingly affordable. $20-$75

Wander and Perch waterproof bag

This water-resistant bag is an accessory for the swimmer on your team. You can put your wet bathing suit or dirty gym clothes into this bag while you’re on the move. It’s stylish while keeping everything else in your bag high and dry. Throw this into a school backpack, gym bag or laptop bag when you’ve got to “keep it separated.” $44

TheralCE™’s patented design works to soothe and relax through 360-degree cold and heat coverage (no inserts or velcro!), light-blocking material, and expert-grade gel for cooling or warming. This cap is comfortable, stretchable, and form-fitting with a one size fits all design. $34.95

Happy Day Gluten-Free Pasta

Everyone loves pasta, but sometimes we want to reduce gluten in our diets to reduce inflammation or help with digestion issues. This pasta is organic, gluten-free and vegan. It’s perfect for a family with dietary issues or those looking for a healthier option for spaghetti night in 2023. It’s made with rice, quinoa and amaranth, but you’ll barely taste the difference. $23.99

Shapermint shapewear

What we see in the mirror when we’re dressed in our favorite outfits really matters. Sometimes, all you need is some comfortable shapewear underneath to really make you feel your best. Shapermint features super comfortable and high waisted undies that hug your curves the way they should. Their supportive bras keep everything in its place (including minimizing those underarm bulges. And, their sexy swimwear is designed to hide the things you don’t want to show and highlight others. $15-40
