With 2024 right around the corner, most of us are thinking about setting goals and resolutions for the new year. With nearly half of all United States adults looking to improve their physical and mental fitness in January, it’s clear that wellness is on everyone’s mind.

Wellness means something different to everyone. Whether it’s taking the time to invest in your mental health, getting better sleep, starting a new exercise regimen, or taking the most relaxing “everything” shower of your life.

We’ve created this guide to Latino-owned wellness essentials for those who are planning on wearing blue underwear this NYE (IYKYK) and looking to make positive changes to their mind, body, and spirit in 2024.
