With everything that’s going on these days, it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re finding time to take care of your mind, body and soul. But we all know it’s not always easy to find time to practice self care in between busy schedules, family obligations and long hours at work.
Luckily, these 12 simple products and practices can help bring some much-needed self care into your life, even if it’s just a quick five minutes of me time.
Pampas & Reed Bath Soak
One of the best ways to indulge in some self care is with a hot bath.
Turn your next soak into a serene self-care ritual by adding a luxurious bath soak or bath tea from Pampas & Reed. Made with organic botanicals like rose petals, lavender and elderflower, these indulgent blends are perfect for unwinding and relaxing.
Not only are baths perfect for relaxing, but soaking in warm epsom water can also help relieve muscle tension and pain, soften and smooth skin, and even help fight off illness.
Ripple Yogawear Stonewash Jumpsuit
Finding that right piece of clothing can truly be a form of self care. A garment that hugs the body in all the right places and allows for free movement and flexibility. The Stonewash Jumpsuit from Ripple Yogawear can be the perfect way to show yourself some extra love.
Whether you’re heading to a yoga class or just running errands, this comfortable yet flattering one-piece will quickly become your new summer staple. Made with soft and eco-friendly cotton, Ripple’s natural yoga wear is ethically made with Mother Earth in mind, so this is a piece of clothing that you can truly feel good about treating yourself to.

Each of their candles is made with soy wax for an eco-friendly and vegan burn, making these candles the perfect addition to your next self care ritual, whether that’s meditating, journaling, relaxing in the bath or just enjoying the scent of juicy mandarin oranges and mimosa blossoms.

Metaskin Face & Body Cups
Your nails aren’t the only part of your body that could use some extra care. Your skin also deserves a little love during your next self-care day.
If you’ve never tried facial massage or cupping, this set by Metaskin is an amazing way to spend some time nurturing your face and body, and getting glowy, radiant and healthy skin in the process. Similar to facial rollers and Gua Sha, but with more impactful results, this cupping set is designed to tone, smooth and de-puff your skin through lymphatic drainage. Cupping is a great alternative to botox, lasers and injectables, and bonus: it’s completely natural, with no downtime at all (no bruising, unlike traditional cupping sessions).
Take 10 minutes in the morning and/or at night to watch a few of Metaskin’s free at-home tutorials available on their website, and spend some time being fully present with this therapeutic mind-skin ritual.
