‘I’m a Hot Yoga Instructor, and Here’s How I Rehydrate After a Particularly Sweaty Class’

Between the end-of-year deadlines and social gatherings ramping up, my calendar is currently chaos. I’m already bracing myself for the holiday hustle and the no-time-for-myself angst that comes with it. Instead of hunkering down for total hibernation, though, I’ve made it my mission to find little ways to refresh and reset every day—so I can take on the season with more joy and a lot less stress.

In the spirit of keeping things simple and effective (read: not overly time-consuming), I decided that my morning routine was a solid place to start—because who doesn’t want to wake up to a moment of self care? I was on the lookout for a spa-worthy addition to my regimen that’s easy to squeeze into my schedule, serves up major tranquility without any grand commitments, and makes sliding out of my seriously cozy bed a little less brutal.

That’s where the philosophy Amazing Grace four-piece fragrance layering set comes in. With products designed to turn any morning into a peaceful, feel-good experience, this collection has everything needed for a moment of true self care, from a hydrating shower gel to a firming body emulsion, a moisturizing hand cream, and a finishing perfume—all in one of philosophy’s most iconic scents (that lingers all day long—in the best way).

Take it from me: This is the kind of simple luxury that transforms a run-of-the-mill morning into a total spa moment that’ll keep you centered and blissed-out, no matter what your to-do list looks like. And on November 1 only, the full set’s on sale for just $85.

What I love most about the philosophy Amazing Grace set is that it doesn’t pile on extra steps to my morning routine—it just elevates the ones I’m already accustomed to. Shower? Check. Moisturize? Check. Spritz on a favorite scent? Check. This line takes those everyday basic tasks and transforms them into a sensory experience, all wrapped up in one dreamy, classic fragrance.

Take one deep breath of the best-selling Amazing Grace scent, and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a spa—seriously. For me, it strikes the perfect balance of light and floral with just a touch of earthy musk. Since adding this layering set to my mornings, I’ve been getting nonstop compliments at all hours of the day (have I mentioned it’s long-lasting?).

Just the act of applying each high-quality product feels wonderfully luxe, adding to the at-home-spa vibes of my new simple routine. The body wash (which can also be used as bubble bath or shampoo) leaves my skin so soft and moisturized that reaching for the toning, hydrating body emulsion feels like icing on the cake. The hand cream has quickly become my cold-weather savior, keeping my skin smooth and hydrated throughout the day. And the perfume? It’s the ideal final touch—just enough to carry that delicate, calming fragrance with me wherever I go.

This quick (but quality) addition to my morning routine has already made a noticeable difference in how I approach every day of the always-on season. Kicking off the day with a moment just for me—even during the busiest weeks—is helping me slow down, stay present, and celebrate the good stuff. That’s something to hop out of bed for.
