As a personal chef, I spend most of my days in the kitchen creating gluten-free meals and recipes that make people feel their best. But between planning menus, grocery runs, and long cooking days, I’ve learned how important it is to also take time for myself. Over the past year, I’ve found a handful of health and beauty products that help me recharge, feel grounded, and show up as my healthiest, happiest self — both in and out of the kitchen.

This year, I’ve been all about simplifying my self-care routine and choosing products that actually make me feel good — inside and out. For hair, the Divi Scalp Serum and the Dyson Airwrap has been a total game-changer. I’ve noticed increased hair growth around my face and my hair is  smooth and shiny without the heat damage. Sleeping on silk pillowcases has seriously helped keep frizz and breakage at bay.

When it comes to skin and body, I’m obsessed with the OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil — it’s hydrating, fast-absorbing, and makes my skin glow like I just left the spa. I also love Primally Pure antioxidant balm and plumping cream – nourishing self-care that feels good and smells amazing. 

Lately, I’ve also been wearing a weighted vest during my walks, and it’s surprisingly calming while helping me build strength. Paired with simple, gluten-free meals, plenty of hydration, and a few minutes of mindfulness, these little daily rituals have made me feel balanced, grounded, and genuinely well. 2025 is definitely the year of clean products, mindful routines, and feeling good in your own skin. 

Ok, let’s get to it. My favorite health and beauty products are all here!
