2020 is the year for self care… Whether you are participating in distance learning or teaching in the classroom, 2020 has been a tumultuous and eventful year for educators everywhere. I use many of these items daily for a little extra self care – the essential oil rollers, aromatherapy jewelry, weighted blanket, and the motivational water bottle. And you can’t forget the rose gold, teacher wine tumbler for the evenings! 😉
You can find them ALL on Amazon!

I love that this Motivational Quote and Time Marker Water Bottle is 100% BPA and toxin free! I use mine to track my water intake throughout the day. It comes in different ombre colors and styles – so be sure to check them out! 🙂
I cannot live without my doTerra Lavender roll-ons. I have one by my bed and one in my bag at all times. It helps me relax throughout the day and fall asleep before bed. I use it on my wrists and behind my ears.
PureGlow Crystal is a 2-in-1 Pink Himalayan Salt Lamp & Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser with Aromatherapy! It is designed to help boost your mood, increase energy levels, and neutralize the positively charged ions that emit from electronic devices like smartphones, televisions, radios, and more.
Every night I struggle with falling asleep. This essential oil is the #1 selling blend on Amazon. I also love everything Maple Holistics – they are a wonderful brand that I trust.
Aromatherapy just got prettier! If you haven’t tried aromatherapy jewelry, I suggest the Subherban brand! They have beautiful agate jewelry with lava rocks that absorb the essential oils, so you can smell the oils on your wrist all day long! I love the bright and playful colors featured in the Free Spirit bracelet!
This meditation journal is hilarious and healing. Doing the writing exercises, I definitely felt more at peace and it’s a great way to relax before bed.
If you are using Zoom with your students or other distance learning tools, you may have mastered the look of all-business on top and comfort on bottom! I am OBSESSED with these matching cotton candy tie dye sweatpants and slippers!
When it is late in the day and coffee is no longer an option for me, I love drinking this tea to wind down. Best part – I don’t have worry about the caffeine! It is a decaf vanilla chai with a blend of black tea, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, clove, & cardamom and a touch of vanilla.
Rich in minerals, the pure mud aids skin renewal, creating a gentle exfoliation effect that removes excess oil, toxins, and dead skin cells for a softer feel and radiant glow. I feel like my pores are noticeably smaller and I love the subtle lavender scent.
Ultra Epsom Salts with Magnesium and Natural Lavender Essential Oils – If I’ve had an extra stressful day, I love soaking in a bath to help sooth sore muscles and relieve stress before bed.
Last but not least (my favorite self care item for teachers) – the weighted blanket! This blanket is 20 pounds of perfection. It feels like being enveloped in a cozy hug at all times. The only downside – I now can’t sleep without it.
