In the Celebrity edition of What's in My Cart, stars reveal the everyday products they're shopping—complemented by expert insights from our editors and analysts when it's something we love too.
For Ashley Tisdale, self-care is at the center of creating a well-balanced life. And that’s exactly what her brand Being Frenshe aims to deliver, with calming candles to moisturizing haircare and more. The brand bills itself as a “community-based platform where wellness [doesn’t] have to be complicated, expensive, or inaccessible.” It’s an ethos that Ashley practices both professionally and personally. Getting there, however, took some time.
“I'm not sure if balance looks like what I once thought it did, because it's impossible to be perfectly balanced in every aspect of your life at the same time,” Ashley told Good Housekeeping. “I don't push myself to do that any longer.”
Now, in order to keep her days balanced, she makes it a point to give her full attention to one thing at a time. “If I'm with my kids, I'm one hundred percent with my kids. If I'm at work, my brain is in work mode. From a mental health perspective, I have learned that it can never be an afterthought—I have to make time for it—and I've learned to trust my intuition from the start,” she says.
Recently, I had the delight of speaking with the actress, mom of two, and founder about her daily wellness routine, along with her favorite products for practicing self-care.
