At the end of a busy day, the best kind of luxury is often the simplest: a hot shower, comfy pajamas, great skincare, and a little time to yourself. Alex Drummond is all about embracing those peaceful moments, and these days, they matter even more. As a mom caring for a (newly walking) toddler and preparing to welcome another baby, she knows how valuable a calm, comfortable evening can feel after a full day. “I've been craving lots of self care lately,” she explains. “Feels like something I can control when everything else about my body feels so out of control right now! So anything I can do to boost morale and give myself a little glow I will be doing it.”
That’s why her favorite self-care essentials are all about comfort, ease, and creating a little calm at home. Think nourishing beauty products, a fluffy robe, and your favorite candle flickering in the background. Over the years, she's shared plenty of products she genuinely loves; together, they make for a relaxing routine that's equal parts practical and pampering. Plus, these picks make staying in feel just as rewarding as going out. So if you're looking for a few ideas to elevate your own self-care routine, these Alex-approved essentials are a great place to start.
Add to your self-care with these ideas:
When doing your skincare routine, be sure to give your hair a little love, too. Alex calls this hair mask her “new holy grail!!” The rich treatment helps hydrate dry strands, smooth frizz, and leave hair feeling silky after just one use. Alex adds, “I've never used a hair mask that has made such an immediate difference on my hair!! My hair feels SO much softer! Not to mention it smells DIVINE.”
“Nothing makes me feel more put together than a cute pajama set,” Alex explains. And these do exactly that! Alex calls them her "favorite luxury pajamas," and it's easy to see why. Known for incredibly soft Pima cotton and timeless prints, they're a favorite for cozy mornings and restful nights alike. She adds that they’re “super lightweight and breathable but still so cozy. And they hold up so well!"
One of Alex's longtime beauty favorites is this shower oil with a silky formula that transforms into a rich, milky lather as it mixes with water, gently cleansing while leaving skin feeling incredibly soft and moisturized. She raves, “This shower oil is LUXURIOUS & smells amazing! It's like body wash but extra hydrating and makes my skin feel so soft when I get out of the shower.”
Setting the mood is half the fun, and Alex loves filling her home with the fresh, clean scent of Nest's Bamboo Candle. With notes of white florals, lush greenery, and hints of sparkling citrus, it creates a calming atmosphere that's perfect for reading, relaxing, or simply unwinding after dinner. Alex says, “Y'all know I love a good candle! Nest Bamboo is one of my favorite classic clean scents.”
These masks have become a skincare sensation—and Alex definitely understands the hype. “These are the best masks! I really do notice a difference the morning after using them,” she says. The deeply hydrating sheet masks are enriched with salmon DNA PDRN and low-molecular collagen to leave skin looking plump, dewy, and refreshed.
Every cozy night deserves the perfect blanket, and Alex's ChappyWrap certainly fits the bill. She’s even declared it her “favorite blanket EVER.” Whether she's curled up on the couch with Sofia nearby or watching a favorite show with Mauricio, it's the finishing touch that makes staying in feel extra inviting. It’s also “the perfect weight and so soft (and gorgeous!!!).”
Need a quick refresh? Alex keeps this product nearby for an instant pick-me-up. The lightweight mist helps wake up tired-looking skin in the morning and adds a fresh, dewy finish. It's equally nice as the final step in a skincare routine or for a little midday refresh whenever skin needs an extra boost. Alex does all three! “This is like the best product ever,” she exclaims.
No spa-inspired evening is complete without a plush robe! Alex's Weezie robe (aka her “favorite robe ever”) is soft, fluffy, and so hotel-worthy. She explains, “It’s so cute. I love the scalloped detail and the embroidery...and it’s so comfy.” Yes, you can even add an embroidered monogram! It's perfect for slipping on after a shower or while getting ready for bed to make ordinary evenings feel like a stay at a cozy resort.
For a more high-tech addition to her routine, Alex has shared this fancy face mask! Combining LED light therapy with cooling under-eye technology, it's designed to help skin look brighter while making the experience feel especially soothing. “It feels amazing,” she writes. And it’s definitely worth the splurge.
Roll away your worries with this nifty skincare tool. Alex keeps hers in the freezer so it’s always cold and ready when she needs it. A quick roll over the face in the morning can feel instantly refreshing and help reduce puffiness, especially after a rough night’s sleep, while using it in the evening can help soothe the skin as you apply your favorite serums and moisturizers.
