The topic of self care has gotten a lot of press the past couple of years, probably because we spent an entire year basically locked in our homes, the following year doing some kind of weird half-in, half-out scenario and the time since - more or less - navigating every weird occurrence and subsequent news story on the planet. Seriously, can we get a break already?

Taking trips, getting massages or just zoning out? Girl, go for it. This list is dedicated to the self-care seekers, with products ranging from tea to your own personal "time out."
