I’m In A Wellness Rut—Here’s What I’m Adding to My Cart to Help

If I had a dollar for every wellness trend I’ve tried, I’d be able to afford a personal wellness coach to help me through the current self-care rut I’m experiencing. With the cure-alls from the TikTok Shop, the unattainable (and unnecessary) morning routines of celebrities and influencers, and the endless chatter about cortisol, becoming the happiest and healthiest version of myself has felt more like a pressure cooker than a peaceful pursuit. Most days, just keeping makeup wipes and a glass of water by my bed feels like a major accomplishment, let alone doing a HIIT workout and cooking a well-balanced meal after work.

But, to put it mildly, 2024 did me in, and I feel like crap. And while I’m generally anti-resolution, I’m not above making small, attainable changes to get back in the game. Thankfully, CVS has up to 40% off on hundreds of wellness items through January 25, with even more discounts for ExtraCare members so that I can ease back into my wellness practices, stock up, and stay consistent (without breaking the bank). Here are the CVS Welcome to Wellness Sale essentials I’m adding to my cart to help me start feeling like myself again:

Collagen Peptide Powder

I’m all about sneaking in some extra protein and beauty benefits without a ton of effort. And this collagen powder is a one-way ticket to better skin, joint, and hair health. By habit stacking a scoop with my morning coffee, I can start my day on a strong note—without taking up any extra time.

CVS | Gaiam
Hand-Held Massager

Maturing may be actually taking care of muscle soreness rather than just toughing it out and building more tension. For the tight and tired, this is a great and simple way to get a post-workout or post-stressful-workday massage in without leaving the house.

3lb Hand Weight

I don’t have the time, energy, or money for a fancy gym membership right now, but with an endless database of professional workouts on YouTube, it’s me and these 3-pound hand weights against the world. Simple, effective, and exactly what I have the capacity for.

Melatonin Gummies

Getting my sleep back on track has been a major struggle, but these melatonin gummies make it easier to fall asleep fast and wake up feeling somewhat human. They help me unwind after a stressful day and give me that extra push to get a good night’s sleep—essential when 2024 felt like one never-ending to-do list.

Liquid I.V.
Hydration Multiplier

I’ve made electrolytes a daily habit—so many people are deficient in them, and I’m not trying to be one of them. This is by far the easiest way I’ve found to get them in and avoid that afternoon lull.
