4. JOlie shower head fIlter - $165
**MY PERSONAL FAVORITE FROM THE GIFT GUIDE** Transform a daily shower into a purifying ritual with the Jolie Showerhead Filter. It filters out harsh chemicals and minerals from water, which can help in reducing skin irritation and improving hair health, offering a cleaner and more refreshing shower experience. I have been using Jolie for about a year now to help with my year-round eczema. In just 2-weeks of using the filter I saw a major difference in my normal dry/flaky skin & my hair's texture. I now am signed up for their subscription for a new filter every 3 months! Click here to shop Jolie
5. LEVOIT HUMIDIFIER - $93
This sleek and silent humidifier is a beacon of relief for dry, winter air. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, it helps to keep skin hydrated and comfortable, complementing any skincare regimen with its restorative moisture. This humidifier has been apart of my winter routine for the past 3 years. The best thing about it? IT DOESN'T GROW MOLD. Anyone that has had a humidifier in the past knows the woes of having to keep up with cleanings so pink mold doesn't start growing at the base. As if all of the amazing skin & wellness benefits aren't enough, never having experienced mold with this product makes it a sure-fire winner.

It's ideal for repairing skin barrier damage caused by environmental stresses and frequent hand-washing. Shield your hands from the winter weather here!

Winter is always my favorite time to cozy up with a new book! Delve into the world of skincare with 'Clean,' where James Hamblin demystifies the science behind skin health. This book is a treasure trove of information, perfect for the skincare enthusiast eager to understand how to care for their skin from the inside out. My big takeaway was that taking care of your microbiome is the future of skin health. Read up on the latest skincare discoveries here!

The Loftie Alarm Clock is designed to promote a more natural sleep cycle with its gentle wake-up features.

Now we have been able to go to bed without our devices. I play 'brown noise' every night to help drift off to sleep & I wake up to the sounds of gongs each morning. the alarm sounds that you have to choose from are far less... violent? than any traditional alarms!
