Home Sweet Home.
Dive into this scrumptious handpicked list of goodies to create the home and lifestyle of your dreams.
The List.
Each product has a description chock-full of details and research explaining why I recommend these specific products.
Oral Care
for Optimal Immune Health.
This ancient ayurvedic medicine has been done for thousands of years.
During the night the tongue collects our body's waste products. It is most beneficial for us to scrape them off and spit them out first thing in the morning, to keep from reabsorbing them into our body!
Especially if you are trying to keep your immune system up!
Ayurvedic Tongue Scraper:
Amazing Detox Powder for Liver and Gut Health.
This detox powder can be used for so many purposes.
Due to the Standard American Diet, our livers are overtaxed, and can always use a nice detox flush.
I always use it if I get constipated too.
Make sure to drink plenty of water with it as you are flushing your body using powerful herbs.
For best results start with small amounts.
Liver Detox Powder:
Organic Vegan Chocolate
(Support Female Owned Small Business!)
"In our modern American society chocolate is considered a dessert, a discretionary food, even taboo or “bad” for you. In this mindset, we can't really reap all the amazing benefits that chocolate has to offer. Chocolate might actually be the most nutrient-rich food on the planet. It has some of the highest magnesium of any food on the planet, the nutrient humans as a species are most depleted of. It has iron, selenium, copper, oxytocin-the love drug, serotonin the happy drug, Anandamide, the bliss molecule."
Living Chocolate:
Communal Uprising also makes yummy nut butter crisps!
Female Owned Sedona Based.
Chocolita Chocolate:
Her sipping chocolate is also a favorite!

VEGAN CHEESE?
An Actually Healthy Nutritional Yeast.
Not all nutritional yeast is created equal, some can give you worse candida and sugar cravings because of the sugar that the yeast feasts on. A lot of people get into nutritional yeast to be healthier but certain brands can make you even more unhealthy.
Here is a brand you can trust:Â
Here’s a video of a dear friend who did a lot of research!

Water Purification On The Go!
Having clean water on the go is essential to keeping our immune system in check.
“The major purpose of water purification is to provide clean drinking water. ... The purification procedure reduces the concentration of contaminants such as suspended particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, and fungi.” Each city and each tap is different so it is important to know that your water is clean of foreign toxins!

Non-Bacteria Building Humidifier
If you live in a dry area like me… humidifiers are a must.
But if you are also prone to allergies like me humidifiers can be an uphill battle.
When you look to buy something to solve the problem and it actually makes it worse...this can often happen with the wrong humidifier.
“Dirty humidifier tanks can quickly breed bacteria and mold. This can be a problem for healthy people, but especially problematic for people with asthma and allergies when the contaminated mist or steam is released into the air.”
I would still make sure to clean your humidifiers with hydrogen peroxide and water every other day or weekly.
Here’s the humidifier I use with low bacteria build-up track record:
When in doubt, have a cup of TEA.
“If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.” – William Ewart Gladstone

Non-Toxic Skincare, Haircare, Facecare, and most importantly Deodorant!
When a mainstream Dr. tells his parents in their 70s it’s time to change their deodorant because too many studies are showing that aluminum and parabens in our deodorant are causing cancer and auto-immune diseases you know it's time to listen.
Our skin is the biggest organ in the body. It is also our first line of defense and we need to let it breathe properly to detox our waste products....but we still deserve to smell good. ;)
If at first you do not succeed try again… when it comes to non-toxic deodorant.
Non-Toxic Skincare... Deodorant:
This is the one that works for me and I love!
Oh My Gaia Deodorant (My Fav.)
This is another one a Dr recommends:

Non-Toxic Period Care
Modibodi Period underwear! No leakage I swear by them.
Sadly the other company that has become known for period underwear thnix has been found to have endocrine disruptors in them which do the opposite of improving your hormone health…
If you have had an abnormal pap smear, STIs in the past, yeast infections, or other vaginal infections I do not recommend the use of plugs such as tampons or cups.
For optimal hormone health, I also do not recommend using perfumed pads or tampons.
I suggest the use of 100% cotton pads.
Period Underwear
Period cramps be gone!
Need Cramp help?
Cramp Tincture:
I use it!
Non-Toxic Candles!
The last thing you want to do when you light some candles to set the "mood" is burn toxic chemicals into the air.
If the person you're trying to woo has a dirty or missing GST gene as I do (and is sensitive to smells) they are sure to get a headache or dizzy and that totally kills the mood! LOL
"Most candles are made of paraffin wax (a petroleum waste product that is chemically bleached), which creates highly toxic benzene and toluene (both are known carcinogens) when burned."
Clean Non-addictive Chapstick
My favorite chapstick.
What we put on our lips (especially if there are unclean ingredients in there) adds up!
Did you know chapsticks today are loaded with chemicals that actually make you addicted to them? And often make your lips even dyer so that you have to become dependent on them?
Give your lips love without the hassle:
For Baking and the KIDS!
Non-toxic Watercolor Food Coloring Set.
I have heard parent after parent describe the unexpected reactions of uncontrollable energy, shakiness, and dis-ease they saw their child go through the first time they ate something with food coloring (synthetic dyes) in it.
There are great new options of non-toxic food coloring sets made with plants.
The kids can enjoy the fun!
Non-toxic Bed Sheets
If you have skin irritants, rashes, bad acne, are sensitive to smell, or are emotionally sensitive...
What you sleep in, for 7-9 hours a day, has a heavy impact on your nervous system, detoxification systems, and your skin's ability to breathe.
Our skin is the biggest organ on our body and is the first part of our organism to sound the alarm when the system is out of balance.
These sheets are Dr recommended.
1. Water Bottle Carrier Aka Life Saver!
2. Favorite Water Bottle Choices.
3. Best Food Thermos Ever.
Â
1. Do you drink enough water? Think again.
This might be the smallest investment you make all year that will have the greatest return!
We all know H2O is the most important thing for a healthy endocrine, system digestive tract as well as immune system!
Hydration is key!
One of the first things you’ll read in any weight loss program is drink more water!
Flushing your body of toxins hourly is crucial for optimal health.
This actually wasn’t even a purchase for me last year… it was a gift but this gift changed my life last year and it was a water bottle carrier!
You might not think it will add up but it will add up.
When you are moving from room to room maybe carrying your food or your computer but leaving your water bottle in the other room for a couple hours…Â
The lack of hydration will have an effect on focus, mental clarity and productivity.
Having a water bottle carrier that you can throw on your shoulder is a game-changer.
2. I personally carry glass bottles to avoid BPA and plastic absorption.Â
I recycle my glass bottles from drinks we buy, kombucha drinks often have great glass bottles to reuse.
I will also recommend bottles below that are chemical-free because your intake of water can add up in whatever container you are drinking out of glass and stainless steel is always the best.Â
I do not recommend plastic bottles.
3. I also wanted to include my favorite food thermoses in the links below.
Hyrdoflask’s thermoses keep my food the warmest.
It is always best for living a healthy lifestyle to have food prepped and warm to make healthier choices easier.
Carrier, Thermos, and Bottles:

Makes healthy eating EASY on the go and at work!
(I suggest the larger size of thermos)
Non-toxic Cleaning Products
When it comes to feeling calm at home, the first thing is first we want to rid our house of chemical irritants, not add more chemicals to our home cleaning…
I can’t tell you the numerous amounts of people I chat with who have allergic reactions to cleaning products in their home.
In your place of peace (your home) the last thing you should do is have chemicals that stimulate irritation!
(not to mention if you having screaming kids running around)
There are a lot of greenwashing products out there coming off as being “green” being non-toxic but not fully being green at all.
Here’s a list of cleaning products that I would recommend:
Cleaning Supply Brands:
(Has dishwashing products too!)
(Glass bottles with refills, great for waste-free living, this is what I use)
Produce wash!
Clean your veggies when they come back from the grocery store! You don't know what chemicals are on them.
