Holiday Gifts – Day 8

16.12.2017

Over the past several days I have shared with you some healthy living gift ideas for the holidays! Today I have some final ideas for you! I’ll try to keep the post brief because we all need more simplicity at this time of year, so if you have additional questions, be sure to ask. I’m happy to answer! This may be my last post in this GIFT GUIDE, but it is NOT THE LEAST! In fact, this is my FAVORITE idea! In a world where we place so much emphasis on consumerism, I have become more and more attracted to the idea of giving EXPERIENCES as gifts! My health challenges led me on a necessary path to minimalism and I don't hate it! Haha! It's become somewhat freeing to release...

Over the past several days I have shared with you some healthy living gift ideas for the holidays! Today and tomorrow I have some final ideas. I’ll try to keep the posts brief because we all need more simplicity at this time of year, so if you have additional questions, be sure to ask. I’m happy to answer! As you've seen so far, there is a theme to the type of gifts I love to GIVE and RECEIVE! They are practical, functional, and/or consumable in some way. Today I just want to share with you a few KITCHEN ITEMS that I absolutely love and wouldn't want to go without!

Over the next couple days I’m going to share with you some healthy living gift ideas for the holidays! I’ll try to keep the posts brief because we all need more simplicity at this time of year, so if you have additional questions, be sure to ask. I’m happy to answer! I'm highlighting gifts from another company I love: US Wellness Meats. There's a reason they are on the TWD Things I Love page. US Wellness Meats is owned and run by family farmers in the Midwest who raise their animals on pasture, using rotational grazing practices which are great the earth, good for the animals, and healthy for us!...

Over the next couple days I’m going to share with you some healthy living gift ideas for the holidays! I’ll try to keep the posts brief because we all need more simplicity at this time of year, so if you have additional questions, be sure to ask. I’m happy to answer! As if I would really need to tell you why today's gift idea is a great one (for almost everyone) because it's CHOCOLATE!! And of course I'm suggesting you get it from one of my most favorite companies: Thrive Market! I've talked about them SEVERAL times on the blog already: TWD Things I Love, My favorite online health food store, and in the Subscriber Exclusive TWD's Favorites #3 post (password protected for my subscribers). Go check those out (particularly this...

Over the next couple days I’m going to share with you some healthy living gift ideas for the holidays! I’ll try to keep the posts brief because we all need more simplicity at this time of year, so if you have additional questions, be sure to ask. I’m happy to answer! Today's GIFT IDEA doesn't require much information because I already spoke the praises of this item a couple months ago: Kasandrinos Olive Oil. I've also shared my love for this company on my TWD Things I Love page. What a great gift a bottle of Kasandrinos Olive Oil would be to bring to your dinner hosts and hostesses as well! And if you want to put together a nice gift basket check out the delicious spice blends sold along with the olive oil...

Over the next several days I’m going to share with you some healthy living gift ideas for the holidays! I’ll try to keep the posts brief because we all need more simplicity at this time of year, so if you have additional questions, be sure to ask. I’m happy to answer! If you've checked out the TWD Things I Love Page, then you know that I love Vital Proteins! They are a company specializing (primarily) in high quality and sustainably sourced collagen food-based supplements. Why do I love them? Their products are high-quality and sustainably sourced. And the reason I'm so into collagen is that it is an essential building block for our hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints, and our modern diets, even when chosen healthfully, have minimal amounts of...

Over the next several days I’m going to share with you some healthy living gift ideas for the holidays! I’ll try to keep the posts brief because we all need more simplicity at this time of year, so if you have additional questions, be sure to ask. I’m happy to answer! This idea is a bit last minute (due to holiday shipping schedules), which is why I'm sharing it with you right away in my gift ideas series. It's another healthy living topic that I haven't yet discussed very thoroughly: essential oils! However, I have shared a few different ways in which we use essentials oils in our home, here and here. We choose to use Young Living Essential Oils for their purity, quality, and effectiveness! Their Seed to Seal...

I'll have lots more to share with you in the future on today's topic! You know how important I think safe skincare is because I've shared about it here and here! What I hadn't shared with you before was a company I've been getting to know over the past year, plus. Again, I'll share more later about why I've waited to tell you about this incredible company, Beautycounter. What I will tell you is that since I first learned...
