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 BOGO free on hundreds of wellness items through January 11 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 Wellness Sale Essentials I’m adding to my cart to help me start feeling like myself again:

Magnesium Supplements

I’m tired of feeling like my body is always on the edge of burnout. And one of the easiest ways for me to get back on track is to rework my go-to supplements back into my routine. This magnesium is my BFF when I’m just feeling off. It helps calm my nerves, relax my muscles, and even supports my bone health.

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.

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.

3-in-1 Resistance Band

I’m all about efficiency, and this 3-in-1 resistance band is the perfect addition to my routine (coupled with my ride-or-die hand weights). It’s easy to use, doesn’t require a lot of space, and targets all my muscle groups. Quick, no-fuss fitness that’s perfect for when I’m feeling overwhelmed and can’t commit to a long workout.

Lime Sparkling Water

I know I’m about six years late to this one, but: soda’s officially out, and sparkling water’s officially in. I swapped out chemically drinks for seltzer, and I’m not looking back. It’s my go-to when I need a fix of something fizzy but way better for my body than my standard Diet Dr. Pepper.

Cleanser Infused Facial Pads

After a long day, I just want to take my makeup off and crash. These cleanser-infused facial pads are the cool older sister to the standard makeup wipe. They make it easy to cleanse and tone without extra effort, and they leave my skin feeling fresh without any fuss.

Olive Oil & Sea Salt Popcorn

They’ll never make me hate a salty, crunchy snack. But I do know I need to put the potato chips down. This olive oil and sea salt popcorn is crunchy, satisfying, and doesn’t leave me feeling sluggish or greasy afterward.

Anticavity Toothpaste

For when even brushing my teeth feels like a chore, this watermelon toothpaste makes it a little more fun. It’s refreshing and sweet without being overpowering—and it’s healing my inner child, making her less afraid to schedule that long-overdue dentist appointment.
