'THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...'
THE PRODUCTS LISTED ARE THINGS THAT I LOVE AND USE REGULARLY AND HAVE FOUND MASSIVELY BENEFICIAL IN SOME WAY!
The Schwank Grill is one of my staple products! I use it almost daily to cook some incredibly juicy and delicious steaks! Anyone who orders through this link receives a free grill cover (ESSENTIAL) when you order!!
Heart and Soil Supplements are by far my favorite way to get in those crucial nutrients from organs which I do NOT enjoy eating or preparing! These supplements have been a game changer in my digestion, my hair, my skin and my overall well being!

We live in a toxic world! From exposure to heavy metals, chemicals, parasites and other icky bugs its critical to support our detoxification daily! I love touchstone essentials for daily gentle detox support and have found dramatic benefits in my overall energy and ability to stay healthy.
What we come into contact with everyday has a HUGE impact on the health of our bodies including our clothing which, let's face it, contacts our body the most throughout the entire day (unless you walk around naked all day)! Wool is one of my favorite fabrics to wear for its incredible softness and its ability to inhibit odors and keep you cool in summer or warm in winter! Woolly is one of my top clothing brands! You'll often find me fully woolly!
Just like our body absorbs what we put on it, so do our foods and drinks! When we use plastic to house our food and water we are exposing ourselves to the chemicals in those plastics. That is why my go to for what I put my foods and drinks are stainless steel or glass. Yeti not only is the bomb for the non toxic aspect of their stainless steel water bottles, they are also incredible at keeping drinks cold or hot depending on your preference!! And....they are great for displaying awesome stickers from all of the places we travel to!!
Here is that 'what you put on your skin' again idea! If you wouldn't eat it you probably shouldn't be using it to wash or moisturize your skin! I love Stone and spears soaps in particular because they leave me feeling clean and refreshed without a beefy tallow smell or over powering fragrance explosion! I personally love their fragrance free line but the essential oil line smells heavenly and works great as well!
Essential oils have been key in keeping my family healthy for years. We use them to add to our non toxic cleaning products for the extra wonderful smell on top of the wonderful additional antimicrobial benefits they have to offer. I also use them on sore spots (ache away is AMAZING for sore muscles and injuries), insect bites (peppermint is an itchy nightmare eliminator life saver), burns and many other healing needs! While I do love and use young living essential oils I must say from a cost standpoint I go for Revive instead. They are the same wonderful quality oils for a much more affordable cost!
When it comes to cleaning and other household needs, Branch Basics is INCREDIBLE! The minimal ingredients are non toxic and yet still so powerful for cleaning! As an avid meat cooker there is often a lot of greasy messes to clean up in our house but the grease doesn't stand a chance against Branch Basics! With a little essential oil added for wonderful fresh smells, these are fantastic for keeping your family safe while getting the cleaning job done!
So for anyone who knows me I love to run. While I am no longer a competitive professional athlete I do still love to get outside and run through the country everyday. I don't have many go to's as far as running equipment since its pretty simple but I will say that shoes are critical for healthy running! While I love the idea of minimalist in everything else I do, I simply have had the best success in my running career with the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080. They are my go to and it doesn't hurt that they look stylish too!
This is a daily staple in my health routine. Whether its to loosen up right before bedtime or work out a little tight spot before heading out the door for a run, our renpho massage gun is something we love so much we have two massage guns so we do not have to fight over who gets to use it! Even our dog loves it! If you are an avid runner, athlete or just a hardcore human you should consider some self massage tools to help keep you a well oiled machine! I have yet to try some of their other products but will be checking them out soon!
While I have been really focusing on sourcing what I can from the USA I did happen to purchase a butcher block set of knives on sale several years back that just so happen to be some of the best knives I've ever used. They have both serrated and straight blade options for their steak knives and their butcher block sets are hands down some of the best quality knives I've used so far. They are made with a high carbon stainless steel blade and cut through even the toughest steaks like butter. I am very open to trying different knives however if anyone has any suggestions feel free to reach and and let me know if you've found some top quality USA made knife sets I'd love to hear about them!
