This Is Exactly How Dina Manzo Does Self-Care

Since moving out west four years ago, Dina Manzo has fully embraced the easy-breezy California lifestyle, focusing her energies on health, wellness, and spirituality. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum, who recently became engaged to boyfriend David Cantin, has even opened an Etsy shop where she sells specially assembled kits that purport to help people manifest the lives they want through the aid of crystals, candles, and moon blessings — a far cry from the nonstop drama in the Garden State, right?

Dina also regularly imparts advice on her Instagram account. She recently took to her Stories to share one of her healthy home rituals. The post showed items on Dina’s midday self-care checklist and, well, since midday has always been the time of day our positive intentions take a nosedive and we want to crawl under our desk and self-medicate with a bag of chips, we paid attention. Dina’s self-care essentials include an orchid, a soothing diffuser, Leora Edut’s Goddess on the Go self-help manual, and an alluring amethyst crystal. We have to admit the good vibes were flowing, which inspired us to think about ways we can be bringing positive energy to our daily lives — and not just with coffee. 

So we pulled together Dina's recommended items, and we're going to give it a try. Check them out for yourself below.
