Self-Care Staples I’m Loving Right Now
Let’s be honest—self-care isn’t just spa nights and bubble baths (although those are great, too). For me, it’s the daily rituals that help me feel strong, grounded, and energized: an outfit that makes me want to move, products that support my health, and meals that nourish without overthinking it.
Here’s a roundup of the self-care staples I’m genuinely reaching for right now—from workout wear to protein picks, plus a peek at what I keep stocked in the fridge:
On My Body
Because when I feel good in what I’m wearing, everything else flows better.

The perfect layering piece for Pilates, errands, or that post-workout matcha. It’s tailored, lightweight, and adds instant polish to your activewear look.

These have become my go-to shorts—flattering, comfy, and made to move. I love them paired with an oversized tee or the Nicole jacket for a full set moment.

I throw this on constantly—school drop-offs, workouts, walks. It’s sleek, neutral, and elevates any ponytail day.
In My Kitchen
Healthy doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be stocked.

Fave Current Recipe, Because WHY NOT!
Sheet Pan Salmon with Veg and Crema
Ingredients
Salmon:
- 2.5-3 pound side of salmon skinned, if desired
- 3 teaspoon ground cumin divided
- 3 teaspoons chili powder divided
- 4 teaspoon garlic powder divided
- Salt and pepper to season liberally
- 2 tablespoons honey optional but encouraged
- 3-4 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1 red onion halved and sliced
- 2 peppers thinly sliced
- 8 Yukon gold potatoes finely diced
Crema:
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons good olive oil
- Salt and pepper to season
- Juice of one lemon
- Optional drizzle of honey for the perfect touch of sweetness
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees or 400 degrees on convection roast. Add the salmon to a sheet pan (feel free to use parchment paper if desired) and season with half of the spices. Add the optional honey and the oil and massage to coat. Scatter the vegetables around the fish and season with remaining spices and massage with some oil to coat everything. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until fish is firm and easily flakes with a fork and vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Meanwhile make the crema by whisking everything together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Enjoy salmon and vegetables with crema. This is also fun served in toasted tortillas!
This Sheet-Pan Salmon is delicious, easy, mess free, and absolutely kid approved!
