Back-to-School Wellness Products for Moms: Vitamins, CBD, and More

A desperate attempt to stay healthy during the COVID pandemic height led me upon a Target where I found these vitamins. The packing is gorgeous, and the description straightforward, the best part is these vitamins are affordable. I started with the multi-vitamin. I soon began to feel less tired, which is saying a lot as I was wiped out at the time. I also noticed that my skin looked refreshed within a few weeks and my nails started to harden, pre-vitamin they were peeling away. The multi-vitamin contains A/C/D/E and all eight B vitamins that support healthy cellular growth. $14.99, raewellness.co

I am also using RAE Energy drops, which contain B vitamins and Thiamine. I do not drink coffee and add one-two drops in my water when starting to feel tired. Without feeling jittery, I get a burst of energy, which I need to get me through the day, no nasty side effects. $14.99, raewellness.co

Sitting is causing aches and pains for many of us. Unfortunately, with remote schooling and work, there is more sitting in the future. HVCBD is formulated with natural ingredients that help reduce pain and inflammation. The raw hemp is added to stimulate your endocannabinoid system to help restore balance and healing.

This salve is great for everyday aches and perfect for stimulating your muscles after a workout. This is a bit of a miracle worker on your achy parts of your body you didn’t even know could ache. $54.99, hvcbd.com

Give your skin a boost of hydration and CBD with this two-piece sheet mask. This mask is infused with broad-spectrum hemp extract, other natural oils, and plant extracts to promote healthy skin. It is super great if you need a little help to make your skin feel and look rejuvenated. I did this mask before going to bed while watching a movie since you need to wear it for about 20-30 mins and a little extra time after that to have it fully sink in. My face was nice and glowy, even into the next morning (and I am a face sleeper). shebd.com

After having positive results with Rae’s multi-vitamin, I decided to give a few more of their products a try. I have added into my monthly regime Rae ReBalance with vitamins A, C, D, and E lavender and superfood mushrooms, which help support hormones and improves mood. I have been stressed. Who hasn’t with 2020 being what it is? These pills have taken that slight edge off I had been carrying for some time. $14.99, raewellness.co

I have been taking this immune-building blend for the last few years. I tend to take it around flu season but have been using it daily since the pandemic came into town. With most herbal remedies, check with your doctor that ingredients such as Organic Eleuthero, Astragalus, Catskill mountains Reishi + Maitake, Licorice, and organic sugar cane alcohol are okay for you to consume. $32, goodfightherbco.com
