Happy Friday friends! Who else is irrationally excited that the weekend is finally here? I am extra happy because I’m headed to Costa Rica tomorrow! It was a last minute trip planned a few weeks ago, and I’m so excited to leave bright and early tomorrow morning to get some sunshine, spend time on the beach and explore the rainforest.

In other news, I’ve been trying to get my holiday cheer on over here (slowly but surely) and pulled together a few gift guides of things that are basically all on my made-up Christmas list for myself. I shared my cozy homebody guide, and today I’m sharing a few things any wellness warrior would love. Whether it’s for your sister who loves yoga, your matcha-loving bestie, or a friend who’s working on their inner and outer glow – here are a few of my favorite things that would make for the perfect gift.

While many of these are pretty self-explanatory, here are a few of my personal favorites:

Sleep Drops: I definitely have a bad case of the Sunday scares most weekends (and sometimes stressful week nights), and there’s nothing worse than tossing and turning when you can’t fall asleep. I’ve been taking these The Nue Co Sleep Drops when I have anxiety before bed, and it’s been super helpful in getting me relaxed and more mindful before bed. I take about 6 drops in water before bed and it instantly calms me down. It’s a little pricey (but worth it!), which is why it would make for a perfect gift for anyone who needs a little nudge to dreamland before bed.

Vital Proteins Collagen Water: It definitely took me awhile to get on the collagen train, but now I’m a big fan – especially of this Vital Proteins lavender collagen water. I usually mix two scoops with a cold glass in the morning, and I’ve seen a visible difference in my skin when I use it on a regular basis. I’ve even gotten a few friends to start using it too, and they’re big fans as well now!

One Love Organics Beauty Balm: This all-in-one wonder balm is one of my favorite beauty products of all time. It’s nourishing and doubles as a magical balm to remove makeup too. I use it on my face and dry skin during winter and it works wonders – plus it smells pretty darn amazing too.

Cozy Jacket: I’m in love with anything super soft in fluffy (can you blame me? It’s freezing in Chicago!), and I love this Alo zip up for weekends in, or to and from yoga. Plus, it feels like you’re wearing a blanket, which doesn’t hurt 😉

Give a Shit: My incredible friend Ashlee wrote this book last year, and it’s full of easy, every-day ways to help save the planet. From buying sustainable clothing, to reducing your eco-footprint, to making the world a little cleaner, Ashlee writes with honest candor that makes the whole read super enjoyable while being informative too. This book totally opened my eyes to how to make an impact on the world, and I’d highly recommend it as a gift for anyone in your life that’s looking to be a little more eco-friendly!

Alright friends, that’s enough for me! I’m planing to share a few more posts while I’m in Costa Rica (I have a few fun holiday posts coming up that I can’t wait to share!), so keep an eye out for some fun posts coming soon! xx
