I'm a beauty editor, which means I love skincare, makeup, and haircare products. I mean it, too—researching, testing, and curating beauty products is my passion. But in the words of Walt Whitman, I contain multitudes, and beauty isn't my only passion. I love reading. I love traveling. I love my dog. And I love health and wellness, too.

In my mid-20s, I was diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis. Pair that with a decade-long struggle with anxiety, and navigating my health—not to mention the monstrous wellness industry—felt incredibly overwhelming. I started slow, and after many years of trial and error, I've found what works. In fact, I've created a long list of wellness essentials that make me feel my best.

When I say "essentials," I simply mean that these products elevate my experience; it might not be the same for others. Still, in the spirit of sharing, I thought I'd disclose the entire list in the hopes it can help someone on their own wellness journey. Ahead, see 30 items I love and recommend to all of my friends.
