Erin’s Favorite Things

by Erin Paruszewski | Dec 12, 2024

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect gift but overwhelmed with shopping, I have the perfect solution for you! Here is a list of my favorite things that check the box for everyone on your list. Happy shopping!

SKINCARE

Supergoop Glow Sunscreen I wear this every day. It boosts hydration with hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5 & niacinamide. I get a lot of compliments on my skin and I think this is why.

Laura Geller makeup I’ve never been a big makeup person but I got Instagram targeted, tried it and love it. It’s bronze, blush and highlighter all in one. I go from drab to low-key glam in less than a minute.

Vitamin C Serum Just as good as the expensive stuff. I use this daily.

ZO Daily Power Defense My go-to daily moisturizer. It’s pricey but has changed my skin.

WORKOUT GEAR

Lifting Gloves Function over fashion. These help with grip strength and prevent callouses from forming and rings from scratching.

Microgainz Black Friday is still going on now! 20% off everything! Microgainz are weight clips that add weight to your existing dumbells.

Yoga Tuneup Balls available in Small (Original), Medium (Plus), and Large (Alpha). I recommend collecting all 3 sets. I have multiple sets in my house and never leave home without them.

Adjustable Weights On my own wish list this year. A great way to have a variety of weights if you are limited on space to store them.

GIFTS THAT ARE SIMPLY GOOD

Nest candle This is my absolute favorite scent of the season. I buy one for myself every year and several more as gifts. The votive size is very cute!

Napkin Holder and Guest Towels This is a fun hostess gift anyone can use all year long.

Bissell Little Green Machine Ok, this isn’t a sexy gift but it’s one of those things I use ALL THE TIME and have gifted to friends and family. Great for cleaning up after kids, pets, stairs, cars and more!

LIMITED EDITION ALKALIGN SWAG

Alkalign Inspirational Hoodie – Available in gray and white (sizes S & M). This super soft hoodie will literally wrap on in Alkalign love. These are sized gender neutral and run a bit on the big size because ya know, oversized is in these days.

Vuori Halo Alkalign Hoodie Your everyday hoodie, the Halo is a classic pullover hooded sweatshirt with a slight cropped length and drawstrings. Available in sizes XS, S, M.

Hi! I’m Erin and my passion in life is helping others feel better by helping them get out of their own head. So much of our relationship to food and fitness is a reflection of deeply rooted beliefs that were imprinted on us at a very early age. These beliefs drive all sorts of behaviors, many of which are not good for our physical or mental health. I know this first-hand. As a former calorie-counting cardio queen I played right into all the toxic messages about what it meant to be “healthy”. That all changed when I hit rock bottom. Since leaving my corporate career in 2009 I have been fully committed to shifting the narrative and helping people experience better physical health by unpacking unhealthy beliefs. My biggest inspiration are my two young daughters, who I hope to raise in a household that openly illuminates and addresses the misinformation instead of adopting it.
