2020 made self-care a necessity. In honor of taking charge of your true self, here is a holiday gift guide based on a few of my favorite things while in work from home mode.

Work from home. Eat from home. Drink from home.

This year, the holidays will be different.

Obviously.

Aren't you sick of hearing that by now?

Of course, most holiday parties will be virtual and your family and loved ones might not be able to be all gathered for a toasty cheer or the home for the holiday's eye roll.

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t spoil those around you and most importantly, yourself. From productivity tools for the entrepreneur in your life to wellness products for the colleague who needs a break from Zoom fatigue, I’ve got you covered!

Office/Productivity

My back-saving office chair puts posture first

I never realized how unhealthy my West Elm office chair really was until I made the switch to ALL33 Backstrong.

It's not because Justin Bieber or Cindy Crawford love it. The ALL33 BackStrong aligns all 33 of your vertebrae to create proper posture and relieve pain while you sit. If you have to sit, why not do it in a chair that will help you sit better, move better, stand better, and feel better? Use my special code [DigitalDetoxSecret] for an extra $50 off the chair (and the proper posture) you deserve!

While a lot of people are still working remotely, most of us haven’t upgraded our home to office standards. And, unfortunately, our posture is suffering from it. The chairs from All33 not only help people sit better, but they also help them live better. This is the perfect gift for the sit-aholic in your life!

Designed by Dr. Dennis Colonello, the trusted chiropractor for Shaq, Tom Hanks, Justin Bieber, and many others. He created the ALL33 BackStrong chair because he was tired of seeing patients return time after time with back problems caused by SITTING he ALL33

Backstrong starts at $799. Use my special code [DigitalDetoxSecret] for an extra $50 off.

That’s why they create new music to help people be more productive, relaxed, or get better sleep. Brain.FM is a science first company and the results are impressive!

A book and a podcast to detox your day

Could we get more wired than 2020? Unplugging seemed like not an option but there is hope. I curated the best tips from some of the most famous digital detox experts and rising stars on the planet.
