Refinery29
As a wellness writer, I try a lot of bougie, inventive, sometimes straight-up out there products in the name of health and general intrigue. Some of them work, but a lot don't do much of anything. And then, there are the products that may not dramatically transform my life, but still manage to add a bit of wellness sparkle that merits a spot in my routine — and credit card statement.From CBD-infused seltzer to the apple cider vinegar gummies I can't stop popping, there's a whole universe of wellness that is actually joyful and fun, instead of detox central. Ahead, you'll find 13 hand-picked products that may not be life-altering but will certainly boost your mood and make your day a little less meh. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

Goli Apple Cider Vinegar GummiesUnless you have the stomach to take a shot of apple cider vinegar, get a daily dose of ACV with these gummies. (But don't eat more than six a day — the high acidity can end up doing more harm than good if you're overdoing it.) Purported benefits of the ingredient range from clearer skin to a healthier gut, but I personally get a mild energy-boosting effect after having two.Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies, $, available at GoliGolde Superfood Latte Sampler BoxTurmeric has long been heralded as a golden wellness ingredient — literally and figuratively — for its anti-inflammatory properties, and if you're looking for a way to incorporate it into your wellness routine, you've found it.
