Dry skin??

Recently I’ve started adding castor oil (just a pea-size amount) to my facial moisturizer and uhhhh… huge difference! I highly suggest giving it a try if you’re struggling with dry, flaky skin!

I am already using a moisturizer with clean ingredients but adding castor oil has really helped with added moisture!

If you can tolerate the strong scent, throw a drop of Frankincense oil in there too! 👏🏼

Aside from the moisturizing effect - Castor oil can be great for promoting lash growth, skin elasticity, improve texture, has anti-inflammatory properties… and so much more.

When you purchase castor oil, make sure it’s organic cold pressed and hexane free. This bottle is huge and will last me a long time but my next purchase will be one in a glass bottle vs plastic.

I’ll share some options below 👇🏼

It’s no secret I love my supplements because let’s be real, it hard to get everything we need from our food. These are the two in my morning routine - for now, I’ll highlight Vitamin C 🍊…

Whenever supplements can be made from REAL foods…. I’m all for it and thats what you get from this brand!

We know Vitamin C is important for our immune system but it has so many more benefits….

•boosting collagen
•wound healing
•cardiovascular health
•facilitates iron absorption
•strengthening bones & teeth
•antioxidant properties to help protect cells against free radicals - immune support
•Some studies show it can also help women with PMS and menstrual cycle regulation. 👏🏼

This is a great supplement to add to your daily routine, too. You’re going to get better absorption when you choose supplements made from real food ingredients. This one is also 3rd party tested and contains no junk ingredients/dyes/or unnecessary fillers!

Adding a link below that will help you save 💰 on your first order. Hopefully I can extend more savings to recurrent customers soon, too! 😉

Does anyone do red light therapy? I’m fairly new to it… and was slightly skeptical of the device I chose because it is not one of the well-known, or more expensive ones on the market. Happy to say, I have been pleasantly surprised by this one!

I have a long history of shoulder/neck pain - usually from tense, sore muscles that cause nerve pain - typically all the way down to my fingers. It’s not fun and been a constant battle for a long time. I see a chiropractor monthly, massage, ice, epsom salt soaks, arnica ointment, etc… all the things to help but have had the MOST relief in the last couple weeks when I started using this infrared red light belt consistently.

I’m personally sold. Red light therapy can help so many things - see photo below but if you do any sort of research or just google it, you’ll see there are many more postitives and benefits. Someday I may splurge for a Lumebox but for now, I’m happy with this!! Sharing link in comments.

I did make sure this device had the recommended nanometers for red light and infrared light (which penetrates deeper into skin).

Restocked my favorites! I don’t want to go without so went ahead and ordered extra 😆

Added this to my home “pharmacy.” 😉

If you’ve been exposed to the tummy bug, this is great to take to try & keep it away. Better yet, just take it 1-2 times per week for a preventative this time of year. It has plenty of other benefits too so total win-win.

You’ll hear people talk about grape juice and the stomach flu but the study was actually done on the seed extract.

Another thing I recommend having on hand for tummy issues is activated charcoal.

Nice to have on hand especially this time of year for sure! 🙅🏻‍♀️ 🤢🚫

What are you all doing for teacher gifts this year? 🍎🎁

I typically do a gift card but would love to hear other ideas! 👇🏼

Early yesterday morning I woke up and seriously had the worst sore throat I’ve had in years… felt like I was swallowing razor blades… then the sinus congestion started, along with a headache, runny nose… all the fun things.

The last couple years I have really been diving into more natural and holistic approaches to our health & wellness. I’ve been a nurse for almost 20 years now (whoa!) and totally feel medications have their place but if I can try something more natural first, I’m totally going to do it! It’s controversial with many and many people probably think I’m crazy… but that’s ok! It’s working for us.

I was introduced to homeopathy remedies a year ago and that’s what I reach for first… along with what I lovingly call my “PRN supplements.” Homeopathy was slightly overwhelming in the beginning but after some research I’m getting the hang of it more and more. I still look things up almost every time but it’s getting easier and the notes I keep help too. If you’re interested, many of the “cheat sheets” I use are on one of my Pinterest boards.

Long story short, these are the products 👇🏼 I took yesterday when I woke up (and some throughout the day) and I’m a solid 80% better today. Is it possible that it was just a short-lived virus - like 24 hrs? Maybe. But I truly think these are what helped!

I’ll describe & link the products down in comments in case anyone is interested. I also have a pinned post on this page with a lot of other cold/flu must-haves for me.

If you have any questions, please let me know! I have a huge variety of things on hand that I reach for first before any OTC cold/allergy medicine, Tylenol, ibuprofen, etc. Finding an alternative approach is almost a fun challenge for me… and so far, I’m having great results from it all. ☺️

•More focus during the day to be productive
•My cycle this month was SO much better (message me if you want details 😜) - this is something I wasn’t expecting!
•Stress/anxiety seemed controlled (a worry of mine since getting off prescription)

I highly recommend.

I would love to answer any questions you may have!

Fantastic way to make some healthier swaps for yourself and/or your home. Multiple enrollement sets to choose from - I can help recommend ones for you!

Great way to try the products and save on all future orders! I’ll share the enrollment link below. ⬇️

I shared the other day about Morning + Night supplements I take… now to share about my mix-ins!

MY ROUTINE-

▶️My goal is to drink Hydrate + Detox first thing in the morning and take my Morning supplement. Sometimes I fail at drinking this before my coffee 😴 but I incorporate it into my day at some point. Sometimes mid-morning, other times in the afternoon.

▶️Next comes my coffee to which I add my Marine Collagen - it’s flavorless so you can add to whatever! If I don’t add it to my coffee, it usually goes in my protein drink (my daily breakfast).

▶️In the evening I take my Night supplement. I shoot for an hour before bed but many times I’m taking it RIGHT before I lay down.

Why do I use these? Here are some key benefits:

💦 Hydrate + Detox

• Super Pre & Probiotics
• L-Glutamine - a master antioxidant & detoxifier
• Optimal balance of high-quality electrolytes
• Helps strengthen immune function
• Promotes healthy aging

🐟 Marine Collagen Peptides (Japanese cod fish)

• Helps restore collagen levels
• Supports joints and muscles
• Promotes healthy aging
• Encourages smooth skin, strong hair and nails
• Helps with reduction in fine lines & wrinkles
• Supports muscle mass maintenance
• Supports bone health and helps prevent bone
mass loss
• Supports immune health
• Supports weight management
• Supports hormone health

Let me know if I can answer any questions for you! I’ll add the link below if you want to browse or see more info. You can bundle these two together to save or available individually.

Heavenly.

Finally grabbed this massager and it’s everything I hope it would be! I carry soooo much tension in my neck & upper back… hoping this helps a lot! Sure feels great!

I don’t love to clean so anything that makes my life a little easier and saves time, I’m all for it!! I’ve had my Tineco for over 2 years now and still love it! I have recently shared a few links to this wet vac and have had some questions about how well it really works and if it’s really worth it. In my opinion, it works great and is definitely worth it- just look at that nasty water! Gross. I’ll add the 🔗 to the bundle I have and also the upgraded version - both have cou pons right now! Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experience with it!

Out with the old…

I keep my garden alive and thriving just fine but gosh darn it if I could do the same with my potted flowers out front! Out with the old and in with the… fake! No shame here.. 💁🏻‍♀️😜

Car charger!

Lemon essential oil 🍋

If you don’t have lemon oil on hand, now is a great time to grab it! Awesome price on the one I use! Lemon oil has MANY uses but a few of my favorites: 🍋 removing those TINY, hair-pulling rubber bands from hair 🍋washing produce - add a couple drops to bowl of water and soak or wash away 🍋removing sticky residue on multiple surfaces (stainless steel, glass, tile, porcelain, most woods when diluted..) 🍋removing grease/oil stains (laundry stains) 🍋diffusing for a mood booster 🍋adding to natural cleaners (dilute correctly!) I always have it in my house! So many great uses & benefits! Link below! ⬇️

Get one!

This is what my air purifier captured from our bedroom after one month! Ick! Highly recommend using them! I have a larger one in our main living area, too. After seeing this, I’ll be adding them to all my kid’s rooms. Helps with dust, allergens, pet hair, etc. **this post contains affiliate links**
