If anyone knows how to juggle a packed schedule while still finding time for self-care, it's Ariana Madix. The Vanderpump Rules star has been booked and busy to the next level post-Scandoval. Ariana samba rolled into our hearts on Dancing With the Stars, dazzled audiences in Chicago on Broadway, partnered with her favorite brands like BIC, satisfied our cravings with the sandwich shop Something About Her.

She's moved into a new home, filmed another season of Vanderpump Rules, and is now the host of Love Island USA on Peacock. Amid all this hustle and bustle, Ariana still makes it a priority to carve out time for herself, demonstrating that even the busiest bees can, and should, find moments to relax and recharge.

The Bravo star advises, "The biggest self-care tip I can give people is to create space for yourself. Downtime is so important, especially when it's so hard to disconnect from our phones, our jobs, all that crazy day-to-day stuff. And sleep!"

If you've been struggling to find balance in your life, Ariana's self-care guide offers valuable insights on how to prioritize your personal care amidst the chaos of work, pets, home, and everything in between.

Ariana Madix's Self-Care Essentials

E!: Share your favorite beauty product under $15.
AM: BIC EasyRinse is so affordable. You can find it at major retailers like Walmart and online at Amazon, with 2-packs starting at just $5.77! I can always count on EasyRinse to give me a comfortable, quick and easy shave.

"It's my go-to razor because it always leaves my legs feeling super smooth and less irritated. Instead of wasting time trying to get my razor unclogged, I can get my shave done quickly with less strokes and move onto the things I enjoy doing!"

E!: If you wake up with a pimple, what is your go-to product to get rid of it?
AM: I am a big fan of pimple patches, any brand, any style. 

"I wish these were a thing when I was a teen!"

These top-selling pimple patches have 13,600+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

E!: What's your go-to product for taking off makeup at the end of the day?
AM: Farmacy Cleansing Balm.  

"Cannot recommend this product enough. Watching the makeup melt off your face is oh-so-satisfying!"

Shoppers Agree: Ariana's go-to cleansing balm has 5-star Amazon reviews.

E!: You just moved into a new home. Share a great housewarming gift idea.
AM: I recommend a home diffuser. 

"I think with any new home it takes a beat for your place to smell like you.  The scent of a new space is just a little raw until it is really lived in, so I recommend a home diffuser for subtle notes of welcome!"

E!: Are there any bar tools/accessories you recommend if I want to make drinks from your book Single AF Cocktails?
AM: This set at Amazon gives you the basic tools to get started.

Ariana's bar set has a single wall cocktail shaker, muddler, angled jigger, fine mesh cocktail strainer, and two shot pourers.

Feel like a mixologist and the ultimate host with these recipes and anecdotes from Ariana.

Ariana's cocktail book has been recommended by podcaster/author Danny Pellegrino.

E!: Are there any hacks that make your life easier as a pet parent?
AM: Litter-Robot by Whisker. Hands down a game changer.

"Anyone with a busy life should invest!"

Shoppers Agree: Ariana's automatic, self-cleaning litter box has 1,300+ 5-star Amazon reviews. It comes in 2 colors.

E!: On Broadway, you had to do your own glam. What was your hero product from that experience?
AM: The Bobbi Brown Face Base Moisturizer & Primer was skin-saving for me.

"The winter weather was a little harsh on my skin and not something my skin was used to after living in Los Angeles for so long. This really hydrated my skin and allowed my makeup for Chicago really hold up."

E!: Are there any beauty products you learned about on Dancing With the Stars that you now use when you get ready on your own?
AM: There is something to be said about body makeup and a tan. 

"It is well known that a lot of time in the sun never benefits anyone and there are great products used on the show that give you a nice glow without having to endure harsh and damaging sunlight."

E!: Tell me about linking up with BIC for another campaign.
AM: After last year's partnership with BIC EasyRinse, I was so excited to work with the brand again to promote this totally game changing razor. I love that we got to create such fun content to talk about the razor's anti-clogging technology and super smooth shave. BIC EasyRinse is the only razor I use because I can't find this kind of shave anywhere else, and I was so excited to bring back this collab and encourage everyone to get unclogged with me!
