I once had an Aries friend who said, “I’m not the type of person who has a broken leg,” when she had a broken leg. I’ll never forget that moment because that was the moment I finally understood what it meant to be an Aries.
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is the OG baby of the cosmos—dough-eyed, fierce, fun as hell, very “act first, think later,” strong-willed, and always down to stand up for what’s right. For them, grey area is a concept that is best left for more complicated signs, leaving them with buzzing energy to “go off, sis,” and just “be out there” without any real worries about what comes next (which can be dicey!!). Their buzzing energy is what keeps us all coming back for more, but also that same energy is what makes us all say, “Omg, an Aries. What are we going to do about this?” when faced with the glowing energy of the mighty ram.
Given that we’re officially in Aries season, it’s only fitting that we think of the best ways to celebrate our boldest and bravest. We can hear them screaming, “Let me lead!” but for the sake of this guide, we think we should be the ones to take things by the reins (for once in our lives!).

To Support Their Adrenaline Rush

If you know an Aries, then you know their answer to most things is just “hell yes.” Their competitive nature sets them up to be risk takers and adrenaline seekers—down for a challenge, up for an adventure, and into anything that allows them to display their innate (but not necessarily brute) strength.
Whether they’re hoofing it on an urban playground or roughing it on a mountainous hike, our adventurous Aries need some chic hydration support (did I mention they like nice things?). Get them the ultimate on-the-go support with the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2, which provides an Aries with a 2-stage filtration and purification system that removes chlorine, pharmaceuticals and PFOA/PFOS from water. This is important because our fire kings and queens don’t normally know how to filter themselves!
If they prefer to be more competitive “out in these streets”—catwalking their way to and from the gym, or fiercely ordering a smoothie from [insert expensive grocer]—slay them with the Joah Brown Barrel Pant + Classic Windbreaker Jacket for a ferocious, Gen Z-approved set. This look, therefore, must include leveled-up sunnies like the lens-changing Chamelo Veil Sunglasses (you can literally adjust the tint on the fly) or Caddis J. Turkee Polarized Sunglasses for high-powered protection (to protect our Aries’ eyes from their own blinding light).
Don’t forget, however, that an Aries likes to be impulsive, spontaneous…unpredictable, even. Such a quality requires a versatile—you guessed it—backpack (!) for wherever they might end up (could even be Japan tomorrow!). The Portland Gear Cascade Backpack fits everything they could ever need (including their live-in-the-present attitude).
Lulu Ge founded Elix after turning to herbal medicine when going off birth control led to health complications. Elix combines the best of ancient wisdom and modern research in bioavailable liquid decoctions, which you add to tea or water. This duo includes the Get Well and Stay Well formulas, which strengthen immune response and build long-lasting resilience.

Any good Aries knows that fighting the good fight every day requires stamina, endurance, and good health. Ramp up their strengthening routine with Daily Harvest’s Organic Pea Powder, which delivers 24g (!) of protein per serving. They’ll also love The Windmill Air Purifier to keep their lungs expanding and their minds calm (given it’s the #1 quietest, medical-grade HEPA air purifier). If they have happened to burn the candle at both ends—chasing fun, playing sports, telling you that things are one way or another—Elix’s Immunity Support Duo will keep their immune systems robustly ready to continue tackling life head on like the goddamn rams that they are!
To Get Them Out of Their Heads and Into Their Hearts
What’s funny about Aries—or at least the Aries I know—is that, even though they’re feelings-led, they’re actually incredibly self-reflective and hyper-analytical about what they’re feeling and why they’re feeling it because they just want to be fair after all (they love doing what’s right).
In moments where they need to just cool off or clear their minds from the top down, give them what they need to keep their heads on straight, starting with their shower routines. The Hydroviv Filtered Showerhead will give our Aries a more softening approach, removing 93% of chlorine from their water, so their skin, hair, and hearts can remain uncompromised.

But how much should you lean into their self-care routines? Do they even have routines? Sure, they love to spring into action and make knee-kick decisions, but in all actuality, Aries like some structure when it comes to their rituals—as long as they’re not too rigid (therefore inhibiting spontaneity).
Adding in scalp care for their headier days is the ultimate why to encourage self-care without insisting on a daily habit. We love Reverie’s Suna Exfoliating Shampoo + Cake Restorative Scalp Tonic, or the Omorovicza Revitalising Scalp Mask for an elevated hair shmood that allows for personal and literal growth. Couple that with a Grace & Company Silky Satin Pillowcase to preserve all of their hard work. (They do love to stand back and admire all they’ve done, after all).
Now, we keep talking about how active these babes can be, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t yearn for serious decompression that allows for pure energy restoration (which they’ll need to fight the good fight the next day). Insist on a more comprehensive sensual “program” for their evening wind-down with Saint Jane’s Deep Sleep Bath Salts followed by Monastery Lapiz Matte Body Oil or FRAMA’s Herbarium Body Lotion. It’ll force them to reground back into their heart’s center while maybe even relaxing their very fit, toned, and worked muscles from the very active day they’ve had (their words, not mine).
To Connect Them With Their Spiritual Side

Aries can seem matter-of-fact or black and white with their thinking— “I’m this, not that.” “There is right or wrong.” However, they’re actually quite intuitive, naturally lucky, and connected to “de oda syde,” if you will—hence their ability to act and act quickly. BUT, given they act so quickly and move so fast, our little flames forget that they actually might need to slow down to “get the messages” already “coming through.” (Can you tell I’m from LA?).
Here are some mind-altering scents to open up their pineal glands to the otherworldly.

To Keep Their Skin Cool While They Get Hot
In Ayurveda (“here she goes,” the people sigh), there is a holistic belief that your Sun sign is connected to your physical constitution—earth, wind, fire, water. If you join me in believing this ancient wisdom, then it would make sense that our fiery, expansive, exuberant counterparts might carry a little extra heat from time to time, especially in their skin.

Help your Aries understand that some moments are for cooling down rather than heating up in all senses. The KORA Organics Milky Mushroom Ultra-Hydrating Mask is perfect for those days they’ve pushed a little too hard and need to re-nourish the skin with a moisture-locking hug. For a more daily regimen, we always have a Colleen Rothschild Sheer Renewal Cream at our disposal for something on the lightweight side. If your Aries has accidentally lit their barrier on fire, they might require extra TLC with House of Dohwa’s Rice Bran Toner and the Calming Crème + Crème Riche from skin legend Tata Harper.
If you have any equivocation about your cardinal companion pushing back against “process over product,” throw a high-end sheet mask their way with the Dr. Nigma Treatment Mask No. 1 Brightening, which they can seamlessly wear while sending assertive emails about “big ideas” to their colleagues.
Because They Like to Be On the Cutting Edge
You know that saying, “God must’ve spent a little more time on you?” Well, do you ever wonder who that saying refers to? It’s Aries. They’re bold, they’re strong, they’re naturally lucky, and they make everything look effortless while being lucky, bold, and strong. Me? Resentful? Never!
With so much fortune favoring the bold, these types love…nice things, avant garde things…expensive things. Knowing this, consider some investment pieces that will allow them to boast, “Wait, you haven’t heard of [insert nice thing]?” or “Yes, this is the new way to [insert any task]” at work.

The Nama M1 Plant-Based Milk Maker and Almond Cow will not only give your Aries an excuse to avoid the grocery store like the rest of us plebes, but it’ll also allow them to makeshift their mylk their way (which also means they can say, “You think [blank] is good, but you just haven’t tried this yet.”
For the moments they want to take their elevated senses “to the streets,” the LEMIZ Mia Bag provides an art-style accessory that feels unusual enough for your Aries to be rest assured that most people won’t be able to copy their style while being refined enough to let all passersby know that quality is the imperative.
But nothing, and I mean nothing, says “on the cutting edge” quite like Ourself’s Lip Filler, which screams “early adopter” from the high heavens (although screaming is hard when your lips are plumping instantly, on the fly, with no actual invasive procedure). We personally swear by this one, and we know an Aries would too.
You might want to fight me on this, but in many ways, I think the word “Aries” is an onomatopoeia—it embodies ferocity, vivaciousness, energy, stubbornness, and honesty (which can be too much sometimes!). But this all makes sense because Aries are just who they are. So don’t overthink this whole “gift-giving” bit. An Aries never would and you shouldn’t either.
