Everything you need to rest, relax, and recharge. (designlifekids.com)
Many of us are heading into the new year facing cold temps, frigid air, plus a depressing lack of sunlight. And when the sun rises after you wake up in the morning and sets before the work day is done, it can obviously take a toll on overall well-being.
On the bright side—no pun intended—this makes winter an essential time to tune into your mind and body. It’s important to make time every day to check in with yourself.
Maybe you are feeling burned out and could use a break. Something as simple as lighting a candle and listening to your favorite podcast or going on a hike to get some fresh air can make a HUGE difference. DLK has put together over 40 self-care staples, so you can relax, unwind, and pamper yourself.

Candles are a powerful way to enhance the ambiance of your space, elevate your mood, or create a peaceful environment. And because your sense of smell and memory are so closely linked, some scents can make you feel nostalgic or sentimental. For example, citrus is reminiscent for many — enjoying fresh lemonade on a hot summer day or clementines in school bag lunches. The smell of warm tea is an ode to all things comfy, cozy, and safe — it’s the smell of curling up with a good book, your parents taking care of you when you are sick, and a warm cup in your hands on a chilly day.
From hints of lavender to realistic food shapes, DLK has several unique candles to create a sense of calm, tranquility, and nostalgia in any space.

As we begin 2024, what better way to start it off than by prioritizing quality skincare. After all, when you treat your skin, you treat yourself. And when you reward yourself with nourishing products, you boost your self-confidence and get ready to take on the day.
During the transition into winter when temps and moisture levels drop, skin conditions such as dryness and inflammation make it necessary to switch up your regime for the changing weather. Stock up on items like our high-quality skin cleansers, body lotions, and lip balms to keep your skin fresh and moisturized.
Don’t skip this essential skincare step: Sunscreen should be a part of your routine no matter the weather or time of year. It is a common misconception that sunscreen is only needed during the summer months, but the ozone layer is actually the thinnest in winter. That means that even though the sun does not feel as hot, you are actually exposed to greater intensity UV rays. Also, there are so many other benefits such as anti-aging properties and protection from harmful screen time. Sunscreen (like our really cool Bioglitter Sunscreen) is a game changer and should be used every day for optimal results.

For as long as women’s media has existed, there’s been a fascination with the things that celebrities personally use and carry around with them. With Gen Z, this trend is less about shopping and more about identity. Vogue even runs a YouTube Series named “In The Bag” to focus on the essentials celebrities can’t leave the house without. In late September, Sophie Richie posted her own “what’s in my bag” video on TikTok (featuring an EpiPen, adding to the video’s realness), and since then, the phenomenon has taken off on TikTok. Now, #WhatsInMyBag has amassed over 3 billion views on the app alone— and it seems this obsession is here to stay with the new generation.
“What’s in DLK’s bag?”, you ask…
