Holiday Wellness Wishlist 2024
Are you are a health and wellness enthusiast (OR you know a health and wellness enthusiast) and you need some good ideas gift ideas? I got you! I put together this list of gifts for your health focused loved one (or yourself ;)) this holiday season. I personally have and regularly use all these things and feel they're some of my favorite tools for feeling my best! Check it all out!
PACT Organic Cotton Clothing
I love PACT clothing! It's so comfortable while looking totally cute and put together. They offer clothing for women and men as well as homegoods made with organic cotton in fair trade factories. I could say a lot about how important it is to move away from plastic and synthetic clothing materials (for one it's certainly not benefitting our hormones!), but that's a post for another time.
For now, if you're looking to upgrade your wardrobe with some quality, timeless pieces that are GOOD for your body too, I recommend pact. You can check them out at the link below.

NAMA J2 Juicer
If you've been following me on Instagram for any amount of time you MUST have seen me using my Nama juicer. I truly love this juicer! I've tried quite a few juicers over the years and of them all, the Nama J2 model is my favorite--by far. Easy to use (you can literally throw whole fruits in the hopper without any chopping required!), easy to clean, cold pressed. It wins on so many points. And I feel there's no better time to get into juicing than the cold, winter months. So if this is for you, check it out at the link below!

Vitamix Blender
A high speed blender that can cut through frozen fruit, make nut milks and butters, blend up sauces into a creamy delicacy is....kind of a game changer. A quality high speed blender will make you feel excited to make yourself a healthy smoothie for breakfast, or a delicious homemade soup for dinner. I say, make it easy for yourself to WANT to make the choice you know you want to make by giving yourself the tools to make it EASY!
My favorite blender is definitely this Vitamix: Link to Vitamix
The Prana Mat
I love, love, love my prana mat! It is part of my daily routine and I have noticed a significant decrease in tension and stress since I've started using it. The body can hold so many stored, unprocessed emotions. It's really remarkable the degree to which we can be disconnected from our body--most adults living the majority of their life in their head and not their body. If you experience stress (so, like, if you are a human being. Lol), sore or tense muscles, trouble sleeping, regular headaches, anxiety or any type of nervous system dysregulation this is such a great wellness tool!

Osea Malibu Skincare
Skincare is something I've recently really gotten into...something about becoming a mom this year just made me feel it was time to prioritize this? I was pretty picky when it came to what I was willing to lather all over my skin. Ultimately I landed on OSEA and I've been SO happy with the outcome. Their products are vegan and cruelty free. It's a mother & daughter founded company which I think is so sweet. Their products come in glass--not plastic. Lots to love! They have so many different products but if you want my personal opinion, go for the Undaria Algae Body Wash, or their Anti-Aging Sea Serum--two of my favorites from them!

Red Light Mask
Redlight therapy is another thing I really got into this year as part of my new skincare routine. I use the mask for just 10 minutes daily and I feel the overall look and feel of my skin has been smoother and clearer! There are so many benefits to redlight therapy which, again, is another topic for another post. But to be brief redlight can help with: fine lines and wrinkles, ageing and sun spots, reducing the look and feel of acne scars. Redlight can also be used on other parts of the body to reduce swelling and sore muscles, digestive distress, headaches, and really so much more! I actually use this mask opened up on other parts of my body when I want to target something specific. I LOVE it! You can check out the mask here or if you prefer another redlight device you can find those through the link below too. Coupon will apply on any of their products!

Sauna Blanket
Sweating is so, so important! Which is why earlier this year I got an outdoor sauna, because I realized my next level of health was going to require some more consistent sweating. I'm not a gym person (at least not yet) and when it's so cold out during the winter it can be hard to break a sweat even if I'm walking or hiking outdoors. So I got my sauna! (Seriously, do a little research on the benefits of a sauna if you aren't already convinced!) However, I realize an outdoor sauna isn't for everyone, but a sauna blanket totally can be! This is a great health tool (that I also have for days when I don't want to fire up my outdoor sauna), and if you're not sweating daily I very much recommend doing so. I have a great coupon for you for this one too:

Bahe Grounding Shoes
Kind of like a great high speed blender will make you want to prepare yourself healthy foods, a great pair of shoes will make you want to move around outside. I got these barefoot, GROUNDING shoes in January of this year and they have absolutely been my most worn pair of sneakers all year. I have worn them to hike, play pickleball, to grocery shop and run errands around town. I love the zero drop sole, the wide toe box so my toes have room to move (no future bunions for me either!), and of course the grounding sole that keeps me connected to the earth. PLUS they're cute--which I don't always feel is the case with these barefoot shoe brands. You can get yourself a pair here:

Excalibur Dehydrator
A dehydrator is great for so many uses: making homemade raw wraps, dehydrating fresh fruit, making homemade, healthy granola bars--so many things! I am pretty choosy about kitchen appliances--I know how easy it can be to end up with a kitchen full of (mostly) unnecessary items. But I use my dehydrator constantly and really feel it is such a valuable tool for keeping me on track and inspired to eat healthy meals! And, if you ask me, Excalibur is the best brand for dehydrators out there. This is the one I have:

My Health Affirmation Cards
My newest product: health affirmation cards! If you know me you know a health mindset is what I believe to be the single most important piece of the health puzzle. You can do all the healthy practices in the world, but if you don't know that health is ultimately who you are (for example you don't self identify as a sick person, an overweight person, etc), then the health you most desire to experience will likely always be outside your reach. I used these affirmations myself when I was in the depths of changing my own mindset around my health. They helped immensely. And now I have them here for you.

Earthley Wellness Herbs and Tinctures
I love this company! They have so many health-centric every day self care products that I love or love to recommend to people who are trying to move away from brands that are just...not so great. They have clean products such as deoderant, toothpaste, and laundry detergent. They have first aid products, skin and hair, vitamins, herbal remedies for allergies, colds and coughs, as well as products for pregnancy, postpartum and infants. There's a lot there! I use their remineralizing tooth powder daily as well as their laundry detergent. Check it out if you're into elevating and health-conscious-ing your at home, every day products too!

Massage Gun
Massages of all kinds are great for releasing tension and stress and for lymphatic movement. A massage gun is great for self massage and to encourage lymphatic drainage which serves to help our kidneys filter even better. You can use this on yourself or recruit a friend or family member to use it on you. This is the massage gun I have. My man loves when I offer to give him a massage with this and it saves my hands a lot of energy. Ha.
Dry Brush
This simple but mighty tool helps promote lymphatic movement, circulation and unclogs your pores to encourage more sweating (so greater detox!) It's easy to use, inexpensive and leaves your skin feeling baby soft! This is the one I have:
FRESH, in Season Dates
Ordering fresh dates from my favorite family owned farm in California is an actual need of mine at the end of every year--like actual need. I request them for my birthday (October) and again for Christmas. These are the best dates I've ever had. Ever. If you want my specific advice get the "Royal Treatment Wet pack". Trust me ;). You want to try these dates!
Lovebird Cereal
Do you miss the nostalgia of a bowl of cereal? Enter Lovebird Cereal. I discovered this cereal at the beginning of the year when (of all people!) my mom introduced me to it. And I love it! I love the clean, simple ingredients. I love the owner's mission. I love supporting companies who are putting out something better for the American consumer. So this is a new thing we keep in our pantry now for when we just need a good crunch or to enjoy a simple memory from childhood. Check it out!

Foodnerd Puffs
If you have a mom friend, you need to know about Foodnerd! Foodnerd is doing something that actually kind of blows my mind. They have developed a line of puffs that are vegan, organic, raw, sprouted, and packed with so much nutrition (go to their website and check out the back of the packaging!) that it's actually a little hard to believe! It is beyond time for packaged baby and kid food to get a massive upgrade and foodnerd is doing it. I am proud, and downright excited, to give my own little guy foodnerd products....and honestly they're so good I often eat a package myself! Check them out below.

Daily Green Boost Green Powder
Let's be real--Daily green Boost is the BEST green powder on the market. I really don't have more to say than that. I've been using this green powder for years and I haven't found one yet that I like nearly so much. It's the best quality raw, organic, vegan barley grass juice powder available. Check it out!

Neck Heating Pad
Heating Pads are cozy, comforting, and healing! Sometimes the best thing we can do for our health is to just nourish and love on ourselves. Laying on the couch with a warm heating pad around my neck is one of my favorite ways to unwind and relax.
Books!
(I've never been disappointed by a book gift ;))
My Book: Raw Recipe Favorites
I released my very own *actual* book this year! I'm so proud to finally have a physical book for those of us who will always love the feel of a book in our hands. The goal with this book was to share the full scope of raw vegan cuisine. So everything from juices and smoothies to salads and dressings, raw burgers, pastas, a raw wrap and raw pizza recipes, to bread, crackers, kale chips, cookies and pies! It really covers it all. And as the title suggests it is a collection of my very favorite raw vegan recipes. So! If you're looking to get into more raw food, or simply see the value in simple, plant based recipes, I made this book for you!
And if you prefer the ebook version I linked that here for you as well: Raw Recipe Favorites EBOOK

Book: Dying to be Me
This is one of the most power healing stories I've ever read. From dying of cancer, to true, miraculous healing, Anita explains not only how she healed but the TRUE source of health and healing for all of us (hint: it's not a diet, detox or exercise plan). Highly recommend this book!
Book: You can Heal Your Life
I can't think of a single person who wouldn't benefit from reading (and deeply understanding) Louise Hay's teachings. In this book she goes deep into the emotional aspect of health and shows that our symptoms--whatever they may be--reveal a disconnect from self, a lack of self love. Truly believe this is a must read for everyone.

Book: You're not Broken
Chris Duncan flips the script entirely on....life. He shows us how our subconscious beliefs about who we are, what we're capable of, and what we deserve play the largest role in our circumstances. If you believe you're broken, you will act accordingly. If you believe you're sick, you will act accordingly. Step #1 in health and healing is to know the truth of who we are (health). Chris breaks this all down beautifully!
