The other day on Instagram I asked for your top recs of things you’d either discovered on your own or that I influenced you to buy and you wound up loving, so I corralled them all into a list here. I also included my personal recommendations and viral products I also bought and did not like, just for fun. Where applicable, I’ve used affiliate links which simply means I’ll earn a very small commission if you happen to shop through my links. Thanks for the support. May next year be far better than this.
Products You Loved that I Influenced You to Buy
Wave Spray for effortless wavy hair
Biohm pre and probiotics - Use code YOGABYCANDACE for discounts on all products.
Diamond Cleaning Pen - Oh yes, I love this thing. It makes quick diamond cleaning so easy.
The Candace Mug - Ah yes! My favorite mug ever. I co-designed this with my friend Julie. I don’t make a dime off of it, I just am passionate about a good mug and this one is perfection, if I do say so myself!
Free to Be Sports Bra - I love this thing, it’s the only one I wear consistently because it fits really well for me (smaller torso, larger cup size). Oooo, and I found a dupe! I personally haven’t tried the dupe, but reviews seem decent!
Dog Tooth Plaque Powder - This stuff really works. I wish I’d started Buckles on it when he was younger, but it truly does work. You do need to be consistent with it, and give it about 4-6 weeks before the plaque will literally just fall off.
Your online rental classes - You can also own these! Great for when you’re traveling and don’t have access to strong wifi but still want to workout.
Levels Protein Powder - Use code GYC20 for 20%.
Intention Factor® Merch - The shirts are SO soft, and the fleece sets are SO cozy! Use code FEELSLIKEFALL for 40% off.
A yoga retreat! - My next wellness retreat is in Kenya this summer, hope you can join!
All your sweatpants
My whoop! (This person said: I love the insights it gives) - You’ll get a free month when you buy through my link.
Zum Laundry Detergent - Oh yeah, I’ve raved about this stuff for years. It’s so so lovely - smells incredible, all natural (not an endocrine disrupter!) and you only need the littlest bit!
Free People Jumpsuit - Here’s a dupe, too. I haven’t personally tried, but my friend has and loves them.
Jade Yoga Mat - This one is great if you do hot yoga and you like an open cell construction mat.
A Liforme Mat - This one is great if you do regular room temp or warm yoga and like a closed cell construction mat.
Vital Proteins Creamer - I use this daily and like all the flavors except vanilla.
Things I Bought and Loved in 2023
This contour stick - Lasts forever, I just used up my first one. I put it on after I let my moisturizer sit, followed by concealer, and then I put on foundation. Did not love its rival but you can use code yogabycandaceFA0R9 for 15% off any of their products.
This coat - so cool, fits really, really well, but also super functional and so warm.
Discovered my signature scent this year. Love love love it. It’s earthy, sandalwood-y, oud-y. It’s so, so good. And it’s unisex.
Ganni Boots - I live in these and love that you can wear them with cropped jeans or sweats and they just look so good. Very comfortable, too.
These socks. They’re all I wear these days.
Travel coffee mug - I use this every single day. Love it because the top has to be pushed down to open, so it’ll never randomly open, and the other top piece has to be screwed on, so it’ll never fall off and spill.
Moon Boots - Fair warning, not everyone is gonna like these, haha, but I love them. They keep your feet SO warm, and you can wear them on any foot - there’s no right or left. They come in so many cool colors, too. I have the silver pair.
Lifting Straps - These were a gift, but they are sooo much easier to use than the other ones I had. Great if you’re lifting heavy.
Light Blocking Eye Mask - I’ve had my tempurpedic eye mask for literally 12 years, and someone gave me this one and it’s so much better. It’s lighter, and less bulky, but still blocks out 100% of the light, and doesn’t touch your eyes so you can fully open your eyes with it on and you don’t see anything.
