For The Home
We are bombarded with toxins in our environment on a daily basis, that is why I try to keep my home as toxin free as possible by avoiding fragrance and using more natural products. Here are just a few of my favorites.
Chilipad
The chiliPAD is comprised of a hydro-powered mattress pad, thermal regulating control unit(s) and a remote making it perfect for one or two sleepers! Keep your bed between 55-115°F (13-46°C), helping encourage quality, restorative sleep.
EnviroKlenz Mobile UV Model
When I tested positive for mold illness we got an EnviroKlenz® Mobile Air System with UV Light. This unit combines Advanced technology for toxic and noxious chemical and odor removal with HEPA filtration and ultraviolet germicidal radiation (UVC) to remove airborne particulates and allergens and inhibit the growth of captured microorganisms (such as bacteria, mold, and viruses).
Swanwick Light Blocking Glasses
These light blocking glasses are used to help prevent light-induced melatonin suppression that can occur from using electronic devices. I try to wear these when watching TV, using computers, smartphones or any electronic devices in the evenings.
Berkey Light
For years we have used the Berkey water filtration systems to provide clean drinking water. Consider the fluoride filters if your area supplies fluoridated water. When we upgraded to the Big Berkey we gave our Berkey light to our daughter in Florida where the water smells like sulphur, now her water is much cleaner.
Salt Lamps
We use salt lamps instead of night lights to prevent disrupting melatonin production. The negative ions released by a Salt Lamp help you to relax somewhat like the feeling of being at the beach. Research shows, the more negative ions in our environments, the better we breathe, feel, sleep and maintain health.
Squatty Potty
Our bodies were designed to squat, not sit, when pooping, therefore going number two on a modern toilet does not allow the kink in your colon. Using a stool for your stool can truly help you become an efficiency expert at this every day (I hope) activity.
Wool Dryer Balls
The negative ions released by a Salt Lamp help you to relax somewhat like the feeling of being at the beach. Research shows, the more negative ions in our environments, the better we breathe, feel, sleep and maintain health.
Charlie’s Soap for Laundry
For years I’ve appreciated the concentrated scent free powder that rinses completely without leaving a residue on my clothes. Completely biodegradable and HE approved.
Roomba
In the amount of time I have saved by having a robotic vacuum, I can read a few chapters of our favorite series to my kids. Even our Mold Inspector uses and recommends a Roomba for reducing mold spores and dust.
Circle with Disney
Parental Controls and Filters for your Family’s Wireless Devices: Cell Phones & Accessories
Enviro-Litter-Box
if you have one cat or many, the litter box can get, well, unpleasant. This additive prevents the super stink.
Supplements
I purchase the following supplements through Life Extension Products because they are high quality.
Super Ubiquinol CoQ10
CoQ10 is an essential nutrient for proper mitochondrial function, ubiquinol is the most bioavailable form of CoQ10. Powerful antioxidant, recommended supplement is also used to help prevent heart disease and aging
Theanine
For years, I have used this product for anxiety. It’s great for calming nerves before a test or a big presentation as well. My doctor takes it before he gives a talk in front of a crowd and so do I. My daughter uses it at school to increase focus and help her perform better on tests.
Graviola
There are characteristics of Graviola that can help keep your immune system at it’s best. These components kill free radicals helping your immune system to prevent disease and lots more. *see my post on Graviola
U.T. Vibrance
You can also find many protocols for various health issues here: Life Extension Health Concerns. This makes it easier to repair your health with step by step instructions and suggestions. I have used the Digestive Health protocol for myself and with my son and it has helped to repair mild leaky gut.
Collagen is another one of my favorite supplements, I keep it in a jar next to my coffee and tea area. My family and I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides.
Natural Beauty
All of my beauty advice comes from my beauty guru Macey! She graduated from Aveda Institute and currently works as an aesthetician. She spends a lot of time on researching safe ingredients so that she can recommend the most natural and effective products for you!
Lilla Rose Hair Accessories
These clips save me so much time when I am running late (or don’t have the desire) to fix my hair. Works in all types and thickness of hair and comes in many beautiful designs. Never use a ponytail holder again.
NuFACE Trinity Facial Trainer Kit
My daughter works as a cosmetologist at a very nice spa, and this came highly recommended.
Body Brush
Rid your body of dead skin cells and let that beautiful skin glow. Using a body brush can help prevent and alleviate cellulite as well as improves lymphatic flow.
Magnesium Bath Flakes
Easier than taking a supplement, I keep a jar of magnesium bath flakes beside the tub so no matter who is having a soak they can also be absorbing this crucial mineral that over 80% of Americans are deficient in.
Magnesium Oil
Transdermal option for getting your required levels of magnesium. I also use this as one ingredient when I make body butter.
Epsoak Epsom Salts
Soak away aches, pains, and muscle fatigue while increasing your magnesium levels with epsom salts. Epsom salts are also great for the yard and gardening!
Morrocco Method Int’l Conditioner
My choice for a raw, vegan, and gluten free holistic conditioner formula packed with nature’s most potent trace minerals and naturally grown botanicals. This formula provides deep moisture and detangling with ingredients that feeds the hair and scalp not to mention it is sulfate free, synthetic chemical free, paraben free, and paleo friendly.
Glow Inner Beauty Powder
A drinkable tonic that supports efficient digestion and a healthy gut, which naturally results in long-lasting skin health and radiance. Synthesizes collagen in the skin and helps contribute to normal skin function as well as support digestive health.
Morrocco Method Dry Shampoo
combination of the finest clays, minerals, and botanicals from around the world to draw out impurities from the roots and follicles while also protecting the scalp’s natural oils. For those days when you don’t have time for a full wash!
Morrocco Method No Lather Shampoo
I rotate all of these shampoos as the set is the most comprehensive natural and holistic hair care method I have found for quality, sulfate free shampoos that feed hair live nutrition.
In The Kitchen
Seems like I spend a lot of time in the kitchen making food for my family. Here are a few of my favorite products for saving time and creating healthier and tastier meals.
Immersion Blender
So much easier to clean than pulling out my Vitamix. I use this for making creamed soups and salad dressings, whipping heavy cream for toppings, mixing bulletproof coffee, making homemade mayo and lots more.
Pantry Organization Oxo
These are the containers I use in my own pantry and the ones I recommend when I am doing a pantry makeover for a client.
Xtrema Ceramic Cookware
Made from clay, water and various inorganic minerals like Kaolinite, Mullite Petalite, Cordierite and refractory clay that are found in the earth’s crust; it’s safe, non-toxic and contains no metals, lead or cadmium. for more info https://www.thatorganicmom.com/nonstick-cookware/
Love with Food
My Kids favorite snacks are usually things we have found in this wonderful red box. We have shared several unboxing videos on the TOM Youtube channel if you’d like to get a glimpse of how much is packed in a Love with Food box. Several sizes available as well as gluten free options.
Thrive Market
Where I purchase specialty items. Perfect for if you don’t live near a lot of health food stores, etc. Thrive Market seeks to make healthy living easy, affordable, and accessible for every American family. Having the membership saves money.
Meal Prepster Container
When your nice glassware goes missing at work you opt for a less expensive BPA free option. These are the containers I often do meal prep for my husband in.
Wide Mouth 64 oz Jars
For those who refuse to use ANY type of plastic these jars are fantastic in the pantry. I have several sets to store beans, rice, and other dried goods.
Bamboo Appliance Caddy
If you de-cluttter and organize you might end up with all of your appliances under the counters however for those you keep on the counter, this appliance caddy makes them easier to get to. I keep my coffee pot on one so that I can easily pull it out to pour in the water.
Instant Pot
If I could have only one convenience product this would be it. I was always afraid of pressure cookers before. Now with this Instant Pot, I make my own homemade bone broth on a weekly basis. Great for quickly preparing dried beans and lots more. Couldn’t live without it!
Instant Pot Accessories
Steamed eggs, veggies, cakes, yogurt and lots more can be made in the instant pot with the right accessories!
Berkeys
For years we have used Berkey water filtration systems to provide clean drinking water. We’ve had the Big Berkey and the Berkey light we passed down to our oldest daughter. Consider the fluoride filters if your area supplies fluoridated water.
Berkey Personal Water Bottle I carried in China
This water bottle kept my daughter and I from getting sick from water born bacteria while traveling through China. I gave one to my daughter so she could filter the water fountain water at school as well.
Weight Loss
Losing weight isn’t always easy or straightforward but here are some of the products I use to maintain my weight.
Keto Cereal
Did you give up Cereal because of all the sugar and empty carbs? Catalina Crunch is a ZERO sugar, gluten-free, low carb solution to your breakfast dilemma.
Flat Belly Plan
The Flat Belly Plan will help if you have Candida, Parasites, or Leaky Gut by using an elimination process. It’s really an educational tool that can help with weight loss.
Train with Lyzabeth
Train With Lyzabeth is the Workout Routine I am currently using to train. She also has a great food plan for people with Hypothyroid problems or people who think they may have hypothyroid that I also like. My daughter Haley uses the Classic plan.
Cronometer
A nutrition & fitness tracking website which is very useful for calculating macros. For a while, I used MyFitnessPal but the nutrition information for foods would be off so often that I had to switch to something more reliable.
Collagen powder by Great Lakes
We drink collagen powder each morning and night. This is our favorite brand, pasture raised, grass fed, non-GMO, Kosher, soluble in cold liquids, anti-aging, builds strong hair and nails, keeps bones healthy, supports joint health, helps maintain a healthy weight, Whole 30 approved, gluten free and dairy free.
Oolong Tea
I’ve been drinking oolong tea since I returned from China. It helps with weight loss and detoxification.
Gifts
Some people’s love language is Gift Giving, which is true of several of my friends as well as one of my children. I like to give meaningful and useful gifts. Here are a few that I am crazy about.
Blogging, Podcasting, & Videos
Since I started blogging, these are the tools that have made getting things done easier.

Yeti Blue Microphone
The quality of my videos and audio went up 100% when I started using a professional mic. Easy to use and produces a very clear sound perfect for voiceovers and podcasts.
Tripod
Trying to hold a camera still while filming is no easy task. This tripod helps to make the videos more stable with less shaking.
Wireless microphone
This mic is perfect for when we are doing a cooking video as it isolates the sound to the speaker instead of capturing all the sounds in the kitchen!
Macbook Air
I use my laptop for working on the go, for working at the coffee shop on my “day off” and when it comes to blogging, I couldn’t do without it to be honest.
iMac
This computer is used by everyone working on my site, editing videos, etc. I regret not switching to apple products much sooner!
Sony Cybershot
This is the first camera I purchased for use on my blog. I still take most of my food photos with this camera it works great and for a great price.
Canon EOS Rebel
I upgraded to this camera for my videos because I wanted an external mic, which the Sony does not have. Do yourself a favor, get the kit, not just the camera.
Dropbox
An invaluable tool for bloggers. You don’t want to store everything on your computer! Dropbox is great because you can just login from anywhere and access your files.
Fiverr Gigs!
Little Jobs for $5 – Stuff like removing the background from a photo, drawings, Graphic Design, Music, Audio, Programming. It’s a great place to get little gigs done! It’s like having your own personal virtual assistant. The new intro in my YouTube video was purchased on Fiverr.
