Mama’s “Wellness, But Make It Easy AF” Guide

Updated: Dec 4, 2025

Listen… motherhood already asks you to be the snack provider, the emotional support human, the finder of lost water bottles, AND the designated family wellness coordinator.


So if you’ve ever thought:

  • “I need to take better care of myself… but with WHAT time?”

  • “Why do the kids get the fancy organic snacks and I’m over here eating crusts?”

  • “Why are my beauty products disappearing into tiny toddler hands?”


…welcome I have just the things for YOU.


Here’s the truth: You need less friction. Less decision fatigue. Less overwhelm. More support, more simplification, and yes—more pampering, because you deserve it even if your 3-year-old tells you you look “crinkly.”


Below are the products I personally love, use religiously, and recommend on the daily. And because I’m a mom and will never gatekeep a discount code, you’ll find all the savings linked for you if you feel like treating yourself or a friend to something you both deserve!


Deep breath. Let’s make your wellness feel like a gift, not another chore.



Before I even had babies, I was serious about ditching endocrine disruptors and the junk hiding in beauty products. Fast forward to now, where my daughters treat my skincare shelf like it’s Sephora’s free sample wall… and yes, ingredients matter even more. I found Naked & Thriving and fell in love — effective formulas, clean ingredients, luxe vibe without the “my entire paycheck is gone” prices. And! They always include free samples with every order - bonus!


If you want to treat yourself (you do), grab $20 off your first order here.


Primal Kitchen — Sauces, Dips & My Everyday Collagen

I add their collagen to my matcha almost every day and it's my favorite hack for my clients and me to get an extra 10-20 grams of protein with zero mental load. Throw it in your coffee even when you feel like a zombie = win. Use code "nourishedmama" for 10% off your order.

This is your permission slip to eat like an adult even when your kids are screaming for applesauce packets.


I don’t drink coffee, but Four Sigmatic has won me over with their functional mushroom blends for a little treat in the evening after I have survived the bedtime chaos instead of raiding the pantry. Treat yoself or your mom bestie to something tasty this season, or check out their coffee if you need extra energy to get through wrapping those presents.


My favorites:

Organic, third-party tested, no weird fillers (I used to work for a supplement company, so I do NOT tolerate junk in my trunk (of supplements). Sip it, sigh deeply, pretend no one will wake you up at 3 AM asking for water you left in their room, or just because they want more 'snugggggles'.



I love my Peloton, but the real magic is the app, which I had LONG before I got the bike, and I still use it EVERY, SINGLE, DAY. Strength, yoga, stretching, HIIT, mindfulness — all at home, equipment optional, in 5 minutes or less if needed. If you or a friend has been trying to get back to fitness this season, this is the perfect gift, and you don't need anything extra!


Perfect for:

  • during nap time

  • after bedtime

  • when you’re hiding from your kids in the bathroom (we’ve all been there and need a minute to breath)


You get 60 DAYS FREE. Bring mom friends and take classes together — it’s adorable chaos and you get credit for an awesome gift and spend NOTHING!



Little hands, snacks everywhere, and chaos in every corner? This diffuser quietly fills the room with a soft, calming scent that instantly makes your space feel more zen—even if the kids are still screaming. Perfect for moms who need a tiny moment of peace, and it takes 5 seconds and helps you imagine you're actually at a spa instead of trying to wash your kids' hair and not get soap in their eyes.



💌 Gift idea: Pair with a candle or cozy blanket for a mini home sanctuary kit for a mom friend.

Shop Nest Bamboo


Silk pillowcase + sleep mask = fewer wrinkles, less bedhead, and a luxurious reminder that yes, moms deserve indulgence. Does it work? I don't know, but I can kind of pretend I'm one of those faceless influencers doing her 232-step bedtime routine. Bonus: your toddler might steal it for dress-up, but that’s part of the fun.




Ya'll know swaddling works for babies, but girl - what about you? Enter a weighted blanket - it helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and make cold winter nights cozier. Perfect for moms who just need to disappear under something warm after bedtime chaos, and if you're experiencing any perimenopausal symptoms (ahem... me!), this can help you stay asleep or get back to sleep!



I am never not sore, and I swear this lotion makes all the difference. Placebo? I don't even care. Rich, creamy, and absorbs quickly—this lotion is perfect for sore muscles and tired joints after a full day of momming. The magnesium adds an extra touch of relief for those who feel it all in their shoulders, back, and legs, and if you can't stand added scents, this baby is unscented. I even use it on my kiddos when they have 'growing pains'. Gift one to yourself and your best friend so you can both relax!




Lavender Aromatherapy Shower Steamers — 5-Minute Spa

Not every mom has time for a long bath. I bought these for a friend a long time ago and snagged some for myself, and I swear these make those five minutes in the shower—when you hear phantom ‘mom’ cries—feel like a decadent day spa getaway where the only thing on your to-do list is… nothing. Every single person I've bought them for LOVES them, and they're so cheap you can get them for yourself too!



So there you have it—my tried-and-true, chaos-proof, “don’t make me hide in the pantry” list of wellness gifts that actually make life better for moms. Whether it’s a weighted blanket to hug yourself after bedtime wars, collagen that takes 2 seconds to add to your coffee, or a shower steamer that makes five minutes feel like a spa day, these are the things that don’t come with guilt, tantrums, or mysterious missing socks. Treat yourself, treat a friend, or just leave the kids to their snacks for five minutes—because you, my fellow mom, deserve it.
