Even in South Florida's mild winter climate, the season calls for a refresh to combat dryness and maintain wellness during cooler temperatures. Lifestyle expert Emily Richett shared her top recommendations for winter self-care essentials that can be enjoyed from the comfort of home.
DesignMe Hydration Boost Duo
DesignMe, a fast-growing hair care company created by hair stylists, offers salon-quality results without leaving home through their new Hydration Boost Duo.
"One way to bring a little excitement back to the season? I think it's a little hair refresh," Richett said. "And we don't even have to leave the comfort of our homes to do it."
The Hydration Boost Duo addresses winter hair concerns with a five-minute mask and weightless oil serum designed to strengthen, add shine, and provide weightless hydration.
"Their new Hydration Boost Duo is just going to give those thirsty strands the nourishment they need, make them soft and glossy, give you frizz-free hair," Richett explained. "It's perfect for our winter routine during these dry and cooler months."
The complete set costs $46 and should last throughout the season, making it an affordable investment in winter hair care.

Manuka Health’s Raw Manuka Honey
Manuka Health offers premium manuka honey products that provide significant health benefits beyond regular honey varieties.
"If you don't know about manuka honey, it's basically nature's golden gift," Richett said. "It's made from the nectar of the native manuka tree, and it gives a slew of powerful antibacterial and daily wellness benefits that far surpass regular honey."
As the leader in certified premium manuka honey, Manuka Health ensures every jar is traceable back to the beekeeper, providing transparency and quality assurance.
The honey comes in varying MGO levels and extends beyond the traditional jar format into throat sprays and skincare products.
"You can just drizzle it on some food. You can just consume it directly, and you will get all of those benefits," Richett noted.
Manuka Health products are available at Sprouts Market, The Vitamin Shoppe, and through their website, manukahealth.com.
