So, a blue supermoon is coming on January 31. And a lunar eclipse. Astrologically, that’s a powerful combination. Jennifer Racioppi is here with her weekly advice (with a wellness twist!) to help you sort out the best ways to eat, work out, sleep, and generally live your life over the next seven days—so you’re fully prepped for what she says will be a “wild ride.” 

Monday, January 22

With the waxing crescent moon in Aries asking you to take charge of your health and your life, get ready to embrace Monday with gusto. This lunar position is the perfect configuration to get your sweat on. So throw on your favorite workout outfit and get out the door to a class. Not feeling like leaving the house? No worries. Try out a new digital exercise video at home. Now that the sun has moved from stalwart Capricorn into freedom-loving and innovative Aquarius, you may feel the need to shake your routines up. If so, cool! Choose something new, and get your blood flowing.

Tuesday, January 23

Yesterday’s energetic vibes carry forward today, offering more “make it happen” potential. Use the upbeat, energetic tempo to push forward and tap into your grit. Positive psychology scholar Angela Duckworth defines grit as the combination of passion and perseverance on behalf of long-term goals—and she’s shown that grit is a vital quality when it comes to creating personal success. So ask yourself today: How passionate am I about what I say I want, and how willing am I to persevere? Stay committed and get your grit on!

Wednesday, January 24

With Mercury, the planet of communication, meeting up with powerhouse Pluto today in Capricorn, be prepared for things to feel intense. On top of this, the waxing quarter moon in Taurus asks you to field curveballs with grace, too. So be the master of your mind today and stay devoted to your vision. Repeat positive mantras that support your knowingness that the good you desire also desires you. Want to go deeper? Check out hypnotherapy as a tool to go beneath the surface of limiting beliefs, phobias, and fears.

Thursday, January 25

After yesterday’s intense meet up with Pluto, today communicative Mercury makes an angle of support with good luck Jupiter. (Yes!) This aspect supports you and helps you find favorable support. If you need to ask for support or make a pitch, today’s your day. Otherwise, stay diligent, focused and disciplined with your thoughts. Visualize the outcome you most desire. Believe you are worthy. (Newsflash: You are.)

Friday, January 26

Action-oriented Mars moves out of Scorpio today and into Sagittarius, a sign he’ll travel in until March 17. While this is excellent news for Sagittarius (hello, motivation and determination) no matter what your sun sign, Mars in fire sign Sag motivates all. Between now and the middle of March, tune into your big-picture goals and muster the courage to really go for them! Make fitness a priority. Hire a trainer. Join a gym. Buy a membership to an at-home fitness video streaming service. Whatever you do, commit. For the next seven weeks, Mars will support you to take your athleticism to the next level. Use this to your advantage.

Saturday, January 27

Ready? Set. Go! With the waxing gibbous and the moon in Gemini sextiling (AKA making an angle of support) Mars, you may feel like the Energizer bunny. Move. Sweat. Get things done. With January quickly coming to a close, and the first month of the new year wrapping up, what do you have to show for it? Now’s the time to take action on behalf of your goals. You got this!

Sunday, January 28

The waxing moon moves into Cancer today, signifying that Sunday provides you the perfect opportunity to tune in and nourish yourself. What do you need today? With Mercury making a harsh angle to Uranus today, things can feel cranky, so please do tend to your inner world and inner needs. Next week we have a blue supermoon, lunar eclipse. It’s going to be a wild ride. So spend time getting centered for the week ahead. You’ll be glad you did. I promise!

Growing up, I’d sit cross-legged on my mom’s bathroom floor, totally mesmerized as she pulled out her stash of Elizabeth Arden skincare. There were the tiny serum capsules she’d crack open with precision, rich creams she smoothed on with ritualistic care, and the occasional spritz of her signature Red Door perfume (I can still smell it). To me, those sleek jars and gold-trimmed bottles felt like the height of sophistication—beauty secrets reserved for someone who really knew what they were doing.

Those luxe moments are seared in my memory—but it turns out they're not just a thing of the past. Fast forward to today, and Elizabeth Arden is still going strong with the kind of staying power most beauty brands can only dream of. Board-certified dermatologist Rachel Nazarian, MD, FAAD credits it all to its nourishing skincare ingredients like ceramides, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid.

From Dr. Nazarian's perspective, taking care of your skin with high-quality, veteran products is always worth the investment. But right now, tons of Elizabeth Arden skincare favorites are on *major* sale at Walmart—which means you don't have to swallow a luxury price tag to reap the benefits of these classics.

Peep Dr. Nazarian's Elizabeth Arden recommendations and add them to your cart while they're up to 75 percent off. When you do, you'll usher in your most nourished complexion—and a skincare routine that stands the test of time.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Eye Cream

Ceramide Lift and Firm Eye Cream — $34

One more time for the people in the back: An eye cream doesn’t need to cost $150 an ounce to deliver real results. Take this one, for example, which combines ceramides and vitamin E to deeply hydrate the under-eye area and help smooth fine lines, Dr. Nazarian says. It also contains peptides, which she says can help combat premature aging.

Elizabeth Arden New Prevage City Smart SPF 50

New Prevage City Smart SPF 50 Lotion — $30

On the hunt for the holy grail of everyday sunscreens? This one—which is nearly $40 off—may be your new match. "Never met a sunscreen I didn't like, but this one does a great job for those of us living in polluted cities, which research has shown can cause premature aging," Dr. Nazarian says.

"This sunscreen has barrier technology that protects against pollutants and improves skin's defenses against free-radical damage. It utilizes sheer zinc and titanium as its UV blockers, and blends with most skin types." Think of it as your skin’s daily armor, sans heavy-duty price tag.

Superstart Skin Renewal Booster by Elizabeth Arden

Superstart Skin Renewal Booster — $35

Turns out, Elizabeth Arden was ahead of the skin-microbiome curve. This serum uses probiotics to help balance your skin, keeping it strong and better protected from environmental stressors, Dr. Nazarian says. Think of it like a built-in bodyguard for your face. By reinforcing the skin barrier, it also helps lock in moisture for a healthier, more resilient complexion.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Vitamin C Capsules

Ceramide Vitamin C Capsules — $25

Nourished skin, no matter where you go? Yes, please. "[This product is a] great way to travel with your vitamin C because it keeps this notoriously unstable vitamin in its purest state until you pop it open and use it," Dr. Nazarian says. "Vitamin C is quite sensitive to light and air, and these single-use capsules keep it effective until needed, and combine it with ceramides to hydrate and improve tolerability."

Psst: These radiance-boosting serum pods are normally priced at $95—so snag them while they're 75 percent off and toss them in your carry-on.

Ceramide Premiere Activation SPF 30 by Elizabeth Arden

Ceramide Premiere Activation SPF 30 — $54

If you’re aiming to simplify your skincare routine without sacrificing results, Dr. Nazarian recommends this all-in-one cream. After cleansing in the morning, swipe it on to hydrate, protect against UV rays, and boost your skin’s health in one simple step. With ceramides to fortify the skin barrier, SPF 30 for daily protection, and a collagen-boosting form of vitamin A, this formula works as hard as you do.

Hydra-Plumping Serum Ceramide Capsules — $50

Found: Your skin's moisture dream team—at a price that feels too good to be true. "The great thing about this product is that it combines two different methods of improving moisture in the skin—a humectant, which draws in water (hyaluronic acid), but also an emollient to seal it in (ceramide)," Dr. Nazarian says. "This prevents loss of moisture to the environment. Both ingredients are naturally found in our own skin, and work well for all skin types."

I'm adding these to my cart while they're over $65 off—and calling my mom to let her in on every one of these steals at Walmart.
