Living well! The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On star Zaina Sesay sat down with ET to share the wildest sell-care trends she’s tried while celebrating her 34th birthday and the launch of her guided wellness diary on March 6.
“Purposeful Healing is a guided journal designed to help people process the emotional weight of a breakup in a healthy, intentional way. I created it because I know firsthand how overwhelming heartbreak can feel,” she tells ET.
“This journal helps navigate emotions with structure and support through thoughtful prompts, affirmations, and reflection exercises rooted in self-compassion and personal growth,” the reality television star adds.
In addition to letting her emotions out through writing, Sesay relies on a full 360-degree method for her wellness regimen.
“I take a holistic approach to self-care and prioritize what my mind, body, and soul need at the moment. … It isn’t just about routines for me, it’s about staying present and creating balance,” she explains.
Some of her essentials: “Strength training, Pilates, and long walks help me reset. I love morning movement because it sets the tone for my day. … Facials, gua sha, and SPF are also musts, and I incorporate dry brushing, body oils, and lymphatic massages to keep my skin smooth and the circulation flowing.”
Beyond her tried-and-true staples, the Maryland native is open to experimenting with some of the more unique wellness offerings out there.
“At first I was skeptical about mouth taping because the idea of voluntarily taping my mouth shut overnight felt a little ridiculous, but I noticed I woke up feeling more rested and less groggy,” she spills.
Next up? “I want to try IV therapy for hydration and recovery, especially after travel, even though I hate needles.”
While the content creator will put her fears aside in the name of self-care, one thing she plans to steer clear of are cold plunges.
“I fundamentally do not like being cold, so the idea of willingly submerging myself in freezing water sounds like pure suffering. If someone ever catches me in an ice bath, just know I lost a bet,” she jokes.
