Body, mind, spirit, and mission. Each one of these areas in our lives needs attention. And whether that attention is something such as making a smoothie, guarding our minds by editing the movies we watch, reading wise words by wise authors, or purchasing items that will create jobs for women in developing nations, these areas of attention often require unique products.
I know what it’s like trying to find the “right” products for myself and my family. I’m a natural-born researcher, so I have to give everything due diligence in that department before I ever even THINK about buying a product. These are all products I’ve thoroughly researched and believe in, and I pray that my recommendations save you much time in doing your own research.

Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard about Amazon.com. While I ideally love to support local small businesses, the plain facts are that there are just too many things that are too difficult to find locally. In addition, this busy homeschooling mama just doesn’t have the time to search every store for everything we need! Amazon to the rescue!
With my Amazon Prime membership, I get free two-day shipping on almost everything I need. We also have local facilities and warehouses where we live, so we get the added benefit of something called Prime Now, which allows me to have a great deal of groceries (including many from Whole Foods!) delivered right to my door within a few hours of my order! Can’t beat that! So, in this season of life, Amazon is a lifesaver.
I love recommending products that I use and/or love so that you don’t have to search far and wide to find the things that will help you on your journey toward better physical, mental, and spiritual health. So click on over to my Influencer page to see all of my favorite things!

I can’t say enough good things about this company! Several years ago, a sweet and caring doctor introduced me to the Hallelujah Diet and all of the amazing things that they were doing for people’s health. It wasn’t about just popping some pill with questionable origins and ingredients. It was all about REAL FOOD.
Hallelujah Diet teaches that our Creator God knew what He was doing when He created us to consume the plants He made for our nourishment. And I couldn’t agree more! They have helped so many people find healing from health issues that others had told them to give up on finding help for… including my own doctor’s colon cancer!
I’ve seen the evidence in my own life after making a big lifestyle shift toward eating more plants and including some of Hallelujah Diet’s properly dehydrated barley greens juice powder and carrot juice powder.
I take these daily and even give them to my children as extra doses of nutrition when I feel they need it. I’ll never stop, because I really do believe it has helped restore so much of my health, from digestion to blood sugar levels and even my eyesight! I just love Hallelujah Diet and all that they stand for!
All day, every day. That’s how often we use our Big Berkey water filter! For our family of 5 who drinks water exclusively, I want to know that the water we’re drinking is the cleanest and most pure I could possibly get.
I don’t want contaminants, I don’t want heavy metals, I don’t want the fluoride, and I don’t want the chlorine. Our Berkey takes care of all of that!
If you want the best of the best, then the Berkey is the filter for you! Plain and simple!
Next to my Berkey, this guy gets used almost just as much! Every single morning, I start my day with a smoothie. Then, most days I end up using it again or even 2 more times as I cook for my family. It’s a beast!
I’ve always loved smoothies, but always had trouble with traditional blenders not being up to the task of properly blending all of my beloved frozen fruit. Was a blender that could truly blend just too much to ask?! I had just about given up hope when I came across a video of a Blendtec turning 2 iPhones into complete dust. I was sold! I now use it for smoothies, soups, hummus, brownies, pies, and more (NOT my iPhone…haha!). It happily does anything I ask of it! I think you would love having a Blendtec in your kitchen, so check it out!
Thrive Market is THE go-to place for great deals on all of your favorite organic and non-gmo food items. They cut out the middle-man so that YOU can save 25-50% off of traditional retail prices.
What’s even better, is that for every person who becomes a member, Thrive Market donates one membership to a low-income family, teacher, veteran, or student. How amazing is that?! Since most low-income families find that they have to resort to less-than nourishing food choices, this is an incredible blessing to them!
Try Thrive Market today and enjoy delicious food at low prices!
Square One: Healing Cancer Coaching Program
Chris Wark started the Square One: Healing Cancer Coaching Program after successfully healing himself of stage 3 colon cancer many years ago. He wanted to open the eyes of others who were/are suffering from various kinds of cancer to the many options out there that are actually saving people from an early death.
You can read more about why I love Chris and his message as well as an overview of what the program includes, in this informative blog post. The information in Square One: Healing Cancer Coaching Program could save your life!
I know, I know. Essential Oils are a HOT topic right now! And it’s alllllll about the brands. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen mamas get so heated over any single product as I’ve seen over these tiny little bottles of joy. Cross the wrong oily-mommy with a different brand, and look out! Brand loyalty is being taken to a whole other level!
All joking aside, I do love oils. I’ve been hooked for many years and trust me when I say I’ve tried ALL the major brands out there. Of the “big names”, I don’t believe you can go wrong. I agree that they are all high-quality oils.
However… why pay the higher prices that come with companies who follow the MLM-type model? Wouldn’t it be cheaper (and easier) to cut out the middle-man and just order directly from a company whose oils have equal quality? I’ve done my homework (it’s what I do best!) and have found Rocky Mountain Oils to be one of the top (if not THE top) companies out there in my opinion. The thing that pushes them over the edge? Their prices. Friends, stop paying for the name on the bottle when there are other top-tier oils out there.
Their oils are 100% pure, they have all of their third-party test results available on their website for all to see, offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, have amazing customer service, and frequently have sales on top of their already low prices! Check out Rocky Mountain Oils and give them a try!
Now that you’ve got all of those lovely oils, what on earth do you do with them? HomeAid is your answer!
Don’t just let those beautiful little bottles take up space in your bathroom cabinet. Take your next steps by learning the tips and tricks you were hoping to have mastered by now! HomeAid will help you create your very own essential oil toolkit!
Unlike long video courses, this one is short and sweet and straight to the point. You’ll be able to complete your entire first response kit together in just an hour! No need to scour the internet looking for all of the most important recipes, with your new kit you’ll be able to find all of the “essential” ones right in one place- HomeAid!

Melt’s massage courses are the gift that keeps on giving and the gift everyone wants to get, am I right?! Why pay luxury prices at a spa, when all you’re looking for is for your partner to give a more committed and enjoyable massage?

Friends, this thing is AWESOME.
If you love the idea of having fresh organic produce at your fingertips but are limited on space in which to grow such a garden, this is the answer! Whether you’re an expert gardener with no land or have the blackest of thumbs but have the desire to grow your own food, the Garden Tower is for you.
The Garden Tower combines its space-saving design with the ability to rotate (ensures all plants are getting quality sunshine throughout the day) and the capability to self-fertilize using its built-in compost cylinder at the core of the tower. This allows you to compost food scraps and even include worms in a place where none of the nutrients will be lost because everything will leech directly into the soil. This allows the plants to grow bigger and stronger than other garden towers out there.
Just look at the Garden Tower Project’s gallery to see the kind of harvest people are getting with these awesome vertical gardens!
I am so thankful I found this company, truly!
I saw an ad for a body wash made with aloe that is as gentle as it is cleansing, and I have to admit that I was hesitant to buy. I figured I’d give it a try and did. Not only did the body wash contain aloe, it was the very first ingredient! It’s so moisturizing, yet leaves me feeling clean as well. Not only that, but a little goes a long way and I ended up having that first bottle for over 8 months!
Offering skin, hair, and pet care, Just Nutritive uses plant-based, natural ingredients, in made in the USA, and is cruelty-free/vegan. Love that!
Check them out and give them a try!
“I hate getting yummy organic and non-gmo snacks delivered to my door,” said NO ONE EVER!
Urthbox is simply too fun for words. Having 3 growing kiddos at home leaves our snack rations frequently depleted. While I do eat mostly fruits and veg for snacks, I also love having my own little secret stash of goodies that I don’t have to share! 😉 So getting this box dropped off on my doorstep once a month gives me a little something to enjoy for myself.
They offer various sizes as well as health options (classic, gluten-free, vegan, and diet) which makes it easy to fit into everyone’s lifestyle and budget. The selections change month-to-month which is a fun way to discover new products! Last month, my small vegan box contained juice, chips, bagel chips, roasted peanuts, candy chews, bbq seaweed snacks, gum, a tea bag, b12/energy tablets, naturally flavored pumpkin seeds (sooooo good!), and more!
I highly recommend giving yourself this tasty monthly snack box!
One of the first things I learned from Chris Wark, of Chris Beat Cancer, was about the healing properties of the aloe plant and how much of an impact it had in his journey of healing his stage 3 colon cancer. Even after being healed, he continues to drink it daily.
On their website, Stockton Aloe 1 states, “Aloe may have applications for Crohn’s, IBD, GERD, diabetes, immune system disorders, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, vaginal yeast (Candida albicans) and much more. Aloe also shows promise for helping shingles, acne, and other ailments.” Many people add it to their healing protocol for many diseases and conditions, including cancer!
But unless you have a quality aloe farm in your backyard, it can be difficult to find high-quality aloe that hasn’t been messed with, leaving it devoid of its original health benefits. That’s where Aloe 1 comes in. The aloe they sell is: 100% pure, the inner leaf gel only, preservative and chemical free, not pasteurized (raw), not heated, not decolorized or deodorized. It is just simply aloe gel. It is shipped frozen so it doesn’t degrade, and it is recommended that you thaw it, pour into smaller portions, and then refreeze to make it last for your needs.
I truly believe this is the highest quality pure aloe gel available on the market!
What we put on our skin, goes into our body. It is much like eating the products you slather all over. This all-natural beauty company is one you’ll definitely want to check out!
100% Pure uses only plant-based pigments to create color in their makeup, has a unique patent-pending method of stabilizing the ingredients to prevent oxidation, uses only natural fragrances, uses no fillers, and has a rigorous 9-part testing process to test for purity, ingredient synergy, potency, sensitivity, packaging synergy, and stability.
These non-toxic, organic, vegan formulas are sure to fit the bill for those looking for high-quality makeup, skin care, hair, and body products.

MISSION
How do I love Warby Parker? Let me count the ways!
- Their glasses are on-trend, high-quality, and gorgeous!
- You can have glasses shipped to you for free to try on in the comfort of your own home. (And all the introverts said, “AMEN!”)
- For every pair you buy, a pair is offered to the missions VisionSpring, Pupils Project, or Ver Bien. Over 50 countries have been impacted by these programs so far!
It all started on a mission trip when a widow was seen giving all she had to the offering plate- three avocados.
From there, a new mission was born out of wanting to end the global water crisis, beginning in Uganda. Three Avocados offers Ugandan and Nicaraguan coffee with 100% of the net proceeds go toward water and education.
While not formally certified fair-trade, founder Joe Koenig told me, “Yes, we ensure farmers are paid above fair-trade prices. It’s rare to find fair-trade certified coffee in Uganda due to the costs to the farmers and coops. For our Nicaraguan coffee, we work with a Direct Trade partner that pays the farmers very well. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit some of the farms with him – it’s been really cool to see the impact it has on the communities!”
This is definitely coffee you can feel good about!
If you know anything about me, you know I’m super-passionate about fair trade fashion. I’ve compiled a page full of amazing companies doing some serious good out there. They employ artisans around the globe in developing countries (and refugees staying in more developed countries) and pay them for their brilliant craftsmanship and products. This helps men and women provide for their families and strengthen their communities.
By using our purchasing power to buy goods made by those paid fair wages, we can have a tremendous impact on the lives of many around the world!
BLOGGING
Let’s clarify again JUST how non-tech-savvy I really am. I didn’t know anything when I started. Honestly, nothing. This whole site has been built thanks to YouTube videos and other tutorials.
When I went on the hunt for a pretty site, I came across Lauren from Restored 316. Her designs are not only so beautiful, but also very customizable, and her customer service team was AMAZINGLY patient with me as I was getting everything set up.
I would sincerely recommend you check out her WordPress themes if you have a WordPress site. I’m so glad I did!
Abby Lawson is the woman. Haha! But seriously. She is. When I was lost in the world of code, themes, rules, etc. beyond all perceivable hope, Abby’s ebook, Building a Framework, put me back on the correct road. She’s been there herself and has put her wealth of knowledge from her journey into laymen’s terms for those like me.
Even now, years later, I still find myself referencing some of the materials I got back then!
I’m so grateful for Abby and her desire to help others succeed. You won’t regret this purchase!
Once I had my website up and running, I began to learn that I could make little money in addition to my own services and products. As a member of an affiliate marketing program, I could help promote companies I was already a fan of, by telling others how and why I loved them… and in turn, get a little compensation to help cover the costs associated with running a website.
It’s a win-win for everyone!
Shareasale has been super easy to work with, VERY simple to understand, and also the platform on which I’ve had the best results thus far. If you’re looking to help promote quality products in line with the mission of your business, I would absolutely recommend that you sign up with Shareasale.
