Amazon Wellness Finds for Taking Care of You
Taking care of yourself sounds like a long bath and an hour by yourself. Most weeks it looks more like drinking water before noon and getting to bed before midnight. These ten amazon wellness finds for moms are the small ones, the kind that fit into a day you did not get to plan.
The reason I wanted to say anything at all is this: you do not have to earn rest by finishing everything first. Nobody finishes. Rest anyway.
Just so you know: some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy something, at no extra cost to you. I only share things I genuinely love and would tell a friend about.
Counting down from ten.
10. The sleep mask with a little weight to it
It wraps around your head instead of strapping on, and the beads inside give steady pressure across your eyes. It blocks light, it goes in the wash, and it stays put if you sleep on your side. This one.
9. The spa basket to keep on hand
A full set of bath and body things in one box, already put together. Keep one in the closet and you have a gift ready the next time somebody you love is going through it and you do not know what to say. This basket.
8. The five minute journal
Undated, so you can skip three weeks and pick it back up without a row of empty dates staring at you. Morning prompts, evening prompts, and it takes about as long as the name says. This journal.
7. The heating pad that covers your whole back
Thirty three inches by seventeen, six heat settings, six timer settings, and it shuts itself off, which matters if you fall asleep under it. On the days my body is being difficult, this is the thing that helps without asking anything of me. Here it is.
6. The lavender box for a hard week
Lavender bath things gathered in one box, made to be handed to somebody. This is a good one for a friend in a rough stretch, and a good one for the shelf in your own bathroom. This box.
5. The alarm clock that wakes you up with light
The light comes up before the sound does, so morning arrives slowly instead of all at once. It doubles as a white noise machine with sleep sounds, and it dims all the way down at night. Better mornings usually start the evening before. This clock.
4. The floor cushion for your quiet corner
A firm buckwheat cushion that keeps your back from giving out ten minutes into sitting on the floor. Put it by a window with your Bible and a lamp, and now you have a spot to go to. This cushion.
3. The gift basket you will want to keep
Eight pieces, magnolia and jasmine, in a basket that looks like something on its own. Buy it for somebody else, then order a second one, because you will not want to hand over the first. Here it is.
2. The water bottle with the time marks
Forty ounces of glass in a silicone sleeve, with a straw lid, a regular lid, and time markers down the side so you can see whether you are behind. Water is the cheapest thing on this list and the one most of us skip. This bottle.
1. The gratitude journal for this year
Five minutes a day, with prompts and quotes so you are not sitting there looking at a blank page. On the days when the list is short, writing down three small things shifts what you notice for the rest of the day. This one.
Small counts
None of this fixes a hard season. It can make one a little softer to live in, and that counts.
If you are in a stretch where taking care of yourself feels like one more thing on the list, start with water and sleep. Those two carry more than all the rest of it put together. And on the days you cannot manage even that, His faithfulness does not run out when mine does. 🤍
