Every morning and evening, I take my dog Korra for a long walk around our neighborhood. Getting 45 minutes to an hour of outdoor movement every day keeps my body and mind feeling relaxed. I used to listen to podcasts or music on my walks, but ever since the beginning of quarantine, I’ve made sure to keep my walks totally technology-free, and it’s been amazing! In the evenings my husband joins us, and our walks have become a way to connect with each other away from the distractions of our home.
Aside from that, I make sure to take a daily prenatal multivitamin to make sure I’m filling in the gaps on any essential nutrition I may be missing…and as much as people will say this isn’t a wellness routine, I love to unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine. My favorite lately has been this Malbec.

As I’m approaching my 30s, going “back to the basics” has never felt more important to me. These days, I’m learning how to sink into each moment as it comes, without judgement. If I’m feeling anxious, frustrated or even content, I allow myself to, well, feel it. This has become wellness for me. With the help of Balance, a (free!) meditation app personalized to meet your mindset goals, I’m able to return to what makes me human and tune into what my body is trying to tell me.
Oh, and I honestly couldn’t live without my Otto Skin Goods serums, specifically The Multitasker Night Serum. I swipe some on at night after cleansing and wake up with silky soft, clear, healthy skin. I’ve never ever seen results like I have with these products—it’s like a fresh start for my complexion every single time I use it!

Moving my body daily is an absolute must for at least 20 minutes up to an hour. Whether it’s taking my dog for a walk, doing a Tone It Up work-out on their app, taking a barre class or joining this dance off sweat session, it’s a powerful way for me to unwind and add in balance to my day. And, may I just add, bringing dancing into the mix is incredibly freeing and a fun way to start or end the day! It’s great to do with your significant other, friends and family too.
Caring for my skin is another ritual that keeps me feeling my best. I could not go with out my favorite Vitamin C serum which is essential for environmental protection and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and discoloration. And this magical eye-cream that I use every night. It’s dreamy!
