Our top picks for this icy season of sniffles, dry skin, winter winds, and also cozy time indoors!
Ellie
Baraka Ceramic Neti Pot
My chronic sinus inflammation and irritation gets a lot worse in the brutally dry air of the winter. Though I had heard about the benefits for sinus hydration and symptom relief, I dragged my feet on regularly doing sinus rinses until this year, and the difference has been palpable. Integrating a rinse into my routine using one of these beautiful ceramic neti pots has been really supportive for managing my symptoms. Plus, the glaze colors are gorgeous!
Amber
Gibson Games Puzzle, Autumn Equinox
True story: It's a Saturday morning in January and I'm off work. I've slept a little later than usual, so when I wake I'm delighted to realize it's snowing outside. I bake a batch of cinnamon muffins, work my way through a pot and a half of tea, and spend the morning at my kitchen table working on this gorgeously illustrated jigsaw puzzle while my cat paws at it and tries to steal the pieces. It's as close to a perfect snowy morning I've ever experienced in my life.
If you could reasonably call yourself 'indoorsy', these beautiful puzzles will be your new winter favorite!
Victoria
Baking Powder (Organic) in Bulk
During the winter I try to leave my house as little as possible, and since spending time at home means more time in your kitchen, in comes the baking! So I buy lots of baking powder during the winter. Plus I occasionally use the baking powder to shine stainless steel pots. You can also use baking powder to remove stains from your clothes! SO bring in a 32 oz jar, get it weighed at the bulk section, and fill it up with baking powder!!
Allison
Himalayan Chandra Neti Flo Kit
Whenever I start the feeling a little congested, I use the Himalyan Chandra Neti Flo kit to clear my sinuses. I find that doing this right away can really open things up and provide some relief from whatever impending cold I have at the moment.
Rose
Ere Perez Wild Tomato Riche Creme
This face cream is a new obsession of mine. It's thick and luxurious, and is suitable for use both at night and in the morning. I was worried it might be too heavy and rich but I was completely wrong. It melts right into my skin and is proving to be an amazing moisturizer during this harsh winter. Its red hue comes from tomato seed, which is a source of lycopene, an antioxidant that can help with skin elasticity and dryness. A little goes a long way!
Shannon
Eco Lips Lip Scrub Stick-Vanilla Bean
Protect yourself from chapped lips this winter with Eco Lips Lip Scrub Stick! I love that this lip scrub comes in a stick for easy application! The sugar gently exfoliates while the blend of jojoba oil, coconut oil & olive oil leaves your lips soft and hydrated.
Caleb
Marin Soothing Hydration Cream
Smooth, hydrating, luxurious, made from lobster! Marin’s super unique face and body cream is a game-changer for those of us who struggle with dry winter skin and the conditions that come with it. Hydrating enough for body, light enough for face, I keep a large one at home a small bottle in my bag.
Ashley
Flora Sophia Focus Mushroom & CBG Gummies (Mixed Berry)
A gem for supporting completing manageable tasks centered around my personal goals!
Sally
Nova Scotia Fisherman Hand & Body Lotion - Sea Kelp
Needing a new hand and body lotion this winter that promises to "cast away dry, cracked, scaly skin ?" Nova Scotia Fisherman Sea Kelp hand and body lotion is for you. I noticed a huge improvement on my dry hands this winter after only a few uses, and the smell is truly delicious - not fishy at all - Available in additional scents of Sea Fennel and Sea Buckthorn & Shea Butter, as well as a travel size, perfect for carrying with you at all times !
Zach
Fur Scrub Sheet
Every winter my skin suddenly lets me know I've got to pamper it and this is one of my favorite new skincare secrets. I've owned a bunch of different show poofs and exfoliators and this one from Fur is hands down the best one ever. It dries quickly, is just the right amount of scratchy without being too irritating, plus it's extra long making it easier to use.
Emily
Cambridge Naturals Brand Sinus Blaster
A perennial favorite, I keep this on hand all season long for that tingly, back-of-the-throat scratchy feeling that lets me know the sniffles are about to descend. Made with powerful, immune-boosting herbs like echinacea, elderberry, garlic bulb, andrographis and olive leaf, and packed with respiratory-supportive herbs like spilanthes, osha, and wild cherry bark, this is my absolute go-to for those pesky seasonal ailments!
Mike
Diaspora Co. - Chai Masala Spice Blend 45g
It's cold. I hate it. Chai warms you up, but what if we had... REALLY GOOD chai? I confess, I don't make it the way the tin asks you to. But, it revitalizes the years old black tea I have (and refuse to throw out) with the help of a little honey and milk. Imagine if you made this with fresh tea, too. It's wonderful!
Daisy
Nopalera Cactus Flower Exfoliant - Tangerine
One of my favorite products year-round (especially in winter) is the Nopalera Cactus Flower Exfoliant. Inspired by the nopal plant, also known as the prickly pear cactus, Nopalera utilizes prickly pear cactus oil and pad fibers in this exfoliate to create a powerful cleanser and moisturizer all in one. When my skin is feeling especially dry and dull, this exfoliate is a wonderful addition to my shower routine and leaves my skin noticeably softer, moisturized, and less dull. As a bonus, it comes in two amazing scents, tangerine and hibiscus!!
Tom
Solaray High Energy Multi
Besides having all of the usual vitamins and minerals in a multi, this one is especially packed with B-vitamins that help me combat wintertime fatigue. The whole food and herb blend are there to provide immune support as well. I find it to be a great value as well - a 4 month supply for $34.99!
