Delicious Beverage Choices
I’ve long debated quitting coffee (for years), and while I have only managed to do so for a few months (at this point), I fully intend to switch off completely … Soon. Or go to decaf. (Heart palpitations means it’s time for a change!). This is the best hot-morning-drink replacement I’ve found to date:
Rasa - the adaptogenic drink that has replaced coffee
I cannot say enough about the delicious flavor, scent, and feels that this drink (and all the different varieties) bring to my life. Bold in the morning, Calm in the evening, Cacao when I want some hot chocolate flavors, Joy Tonic when I want that bright burst, and Spicy Rose when I want to feel… spicy. ;)
Try it, you’ll like it, I promise!
Skin-Care
Taking care with what we put on our skin matters just as much as what we put inside our bodies.
I personally rarely wear make up, however, for skin-care (and the occasion for lip color) this is what I reach for:
Ginseng Eye Creme from Landia Skincare
In an effort to make those eye crinkles more mild, I have been using this eye creme for a short while, and I am noticing a difference. The scent is great, and this works!
Rose Hydrosol from Mountain Rose Herbs
Authentic rose – I love the scent of this hydrosol. I mix this (1:1) with witchazel and make my own toner. The Best.
“Protector” Roll on Perfume from Roots & Crowns
Great for cold season, and I personally love the scent of cloves and cinnamon so much I wear this year-round.
Other Life Essentials
Things I use every day chosen for low-impact purposes, and have a great quality. None of these is sponsoring this praise. :)
I simply love these products!
Premium 100% Bamboo Toilet Paper
In 2020, I decided to do something different to combat the stress of finding toilet paper at the store, and make a better choice for the environment. Bamboo TP from Who Gives A Crap was my solution, and you know what? I have made an order for TP only 4 times since July of 2020! One box of 48 rolls lasts the two of us an ENTIRE year. It’s effective, soft, doesn't disintegrate in your hand, and is delivered right to your door. No plastic. All recyclable packaging. THE BEST.
Lavender Deodorant from Granny Smith Natural Skin Care
This deodorant is free of any bad or weird ingredients, smells lovely, and actually WORKS! I have been using this deodorant for at least five years, since I discovered Granny Smith at a farmer’s market.
“Protector” Roll on Perfume from Roots & Crowns
Great for cold season, and I personally love the scent of cloves and cinnamon so much I wear this delightful scent year-round.
