When I decided that I wanted to start taking time to create better habits for my self care I knew that spending a lot of money on items that I wanted to purchase for my routines was not something I was excited for.

It is normal to want to spend money on things everytime you start a new project or tackle a new adventure and I did not want that, so I decided to search for budget-friendly items that I could add to my routines until habits were created. Self care for me includes working out, my skin care routine, writing, reading and just unwinding at home.

I wanted to share this list of items from Amazon with easy links that have been used by myself and others to get started on a self care journey.

1. Hair scrunchies: these come in handy while working out, during my skin routine or just on days when I simply want my hair in a mom bun. These Kitsch scrunchies are soft and comfy to wear. https://amzn.to/3Fd4Mol

2. Saucony socks: these are a favorite! comfy and great for my workouts and runs and come in packs of 8 or 16 pairs. These are true to size and i love their heel tab to prevent skin irritation. https://amzn.to/3lcd09g

3. Thayers witchhazel facial toner: I have been using Thayers for years and I never think of trying a different one since this toner does so well with my skin and is affordable. They have different ones but this is the unscented kind. https://amzn.to/3JuxWBL
