Celebrate National Relaxation Day: All the Necessities for Your Everything Shower

Millennials may be the queens of dry shampoo and blowouts, but Gen Z's "everything shower" trend is something I can fully support. Although I only have time for an "everything shower" once a week, it's a ritual I love to indulge in. Light a candle, play your favorite tunes, and treat yourself to some well-deserved pampering. Here are a few of my favorite products to create the ultimate shower experience: 

1. Light a Candle: There’s nothing like lighting a candle to set a luxurious mood. I love these Sand + Fog candles– you can find them at TJ Maxx for just $7.99! My top scents are Denim, Amber and Fig, and California Beach House. Press play on your favorite playlist or mediation to add to the perfect shower ambiance. 

2. Girl, Wash Your Face: This facial cleanser is a game-changer. It effortlessly removes all my makeup, even the stubborn eyelash glue I wear for coaching or events. I usually double cleanse for a thorough clean, and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated without clogging pores.

3. Cleanse and Condition Hair: After reading Jen Atkin's memoir, Blowing My Way to the Top, I was inspired to try the Ouai product line. The shampoo and conditioner in the Melrose Place scent have become my signature. If you want to go all out, consider adding the hair oil, leave-in conditioner, or the body cream to your collection. For an extra treat, use a scalp scrub before shampooing.

4. Exfoliate and Body Wash: While my hair conditions, I take time to exfoliate, shave, and wash my body. I alternate between a sweet and fruity or a calming body wash depending on my mood. Once again, TJ Maxx is my go-to for finding luxury body and hair care items for a fraction of the price.

5. Hydrate and Moisturize: After stepping out of the shower, I immediately moisturize my face, which feels so refreshing and rejuvenating. Lately, I’ve been using Biossance products, and love how smooth they leave my skin. To complete the entire “everything shower” experience, hydrate your skin with this light and moisturizing body lotion
Happy National Relaxation Day! I hope these essentials help you feel clean and ready to take on whatever comes your way!
