HUFFPOST: THE GOOD LIFE - Wellness Wisdom

It’s Cyber Monday, which means it’s time to stock up on items that will actually benefit your life — including your health and well-being. And while self-care isn’t necessarily about purchasing products or spending money in the name of wellness, sometimes it does genuinely feel good to buy a coveted item for yourself or for your loved ones. (Research even backs this up.)

Our team has curated some of the best products you can buy today and deals you don’t want to miss. Check out this post on the best luxury items that are on major sale (did someone say skin care?). If you’re looking for something more practical, don’t miss this roundup on items like vacuums, kitchen tools and more. Or if you’re curious what we’re buying ourselves, take a look at our editors’ picks. Happy shopping!

❤️,

Reporter Ashley Broadwater broke it all down for you (and me) this week.

A Minute And Change

Got a spare minute? Use it to change your life. Our “A Minute And Change” series will help you become happier, healthier and more productive by doing one thing a little differently. This week’s tip comes from therapist Racine Henry on how to not feel bad after setting a boundary with someone you love.

The best approach to handle feelings of guilt is to remind yourself why you’re doing this in the first place. If your intentions are really about your self-respect, about self-preservation, about protecting yourself, then I think you can focus on those aspects of it.

Before You Go...

Read this deep dive on “kidulting,” a trend where adults are leaning into the nostalgia of years past to improve their well-being. Senior reporter Brittany Wong spoke with Gen Xers and Millennials on why activities like collecting Legos and dressing in Y2K fashions are making a comeback, and why you should lean into your old playtime habits, too.
