WELLNESS PRODUCTS IM LOVING THIS WINTER
This winter has been short of a slow season change. It's been something that has snuck up on me with no warning, one day I am in sandals and cranking my air conditioning, the next it’s dark before dinner and I am living in sweatpants and a hoodie. Either way the seasons have changed and I am shifting my focus on the things I like to do during this cooler and more calm season. I want to share with you some products that I have been loving, some old, some new, either way they’re all amazing and support my ongoing journey of daily health and longevity. It is very important to me to use products that are as non toxic and high quality has possible to grow the health and wellness of my lifestyle, myself and my young family. As 2025 wraps up here are some of my winter wellness favorites:
#1 Creatine
Contrary to popular belief creatine holds many health benefits than just for workout purposes I personally like creatine for cognitive health, skin, hair, aging, lean muscle, energy and mood support. Mixes with any smoothie but mostly I will just do water or juice!
#2 Spearmint Tea
I LOVE a glass of spearmint tea, warm or iced either way it’s a good way to break up your daily hydration with some fresh flavor other than plain water. Spearmint tea also helps with clear skin and gut health.
#3 Bone Broth
Now listen I used to be be the BIGGEST bone broth hater, I hated the taste of it so much I would plug my nose and chug (that’s not way to live) so I gave it up for a while. Then a year passes my tastebuds grow up a little bit and I decided to try a higher quality bone broth, a little pricier, grass fed and organic. Let me tell you the quality of your bone broth makes a HUGE difference, I love my bone broth now, I love the taste, the benefits I see and the way I feel after drinking it. I add it to recipes, cook my rice in it, soups and plain in a mug with a dash of cayenne pepper. This small practice is extremely powerful for me, drinking a full glass of organic lime water with a pinch of salt followed by a warm glass of bone broth first thing in the morning before any food or coffee has significantly changed the health of my skin, gut, upped my protein intake and has overall helped me start my day off on a better more hydrated foot. I think of it as my stabilizer for the rest of the day, its such a small habit but sets a huge standard for my morning.
#4 Salty Face Tanning Water
This is a new product on my radar but has been a game changer. I love the sun it makes me so happy I will enjoy every second of it that I can get but that harsh reality when you go from glowing and bronzed with freckles rocking the no makeup look to pale and dull once the winter months hit isn’t something I like to face. Year after year I'm always shocked. Most self tanners don’t have super clean ingredients and clog your pores or just make you look like you got off your shift as a coal miner. Salty Face is a super simple and clean tanning water that I mist on my face gradually to build a slightly sun-kissed look. Bonus that it is anti pore clogging, applies evenly and is also packed with cucumber and chamomile extracts. This ones a keeper!
#5 CLEARSTEM Clear Skin Supplement
Hoy grail right here, ever since I found this supplement my life has changed. I recently struggled with adult acne after a lifetime of no acne, so for me it felt like my world and confidence was flipping upside down. I was very against getting on any western mediation to stop my acne because I knew it was going to get to the root cause. I dedicated a lot of time to healing my skin naturally, one of these practices was this new supplement that focused on detoxing, supporting hormones, liver health and vitamin A to actually help all the factors internally that contribute to acne. If you are struggling with acne as an adult I highly highly recommend trying this product alongside other healthy lifestyle habits for 3 months before considering a harsh chemical based medication. If you are anything like me and want to give the natural route a shot before intervening with medical products order this NOW!
#6 Force of Nature Beef, Liver, Heart Blend
This product is in the kitchen but I wanted to share it because I am all about simplifying healthy habits. Before you say anything about how gross this sounds, this doesn’t taste any different than normal ground beef. It just has lots of extra good stuff in it that help deliver vitamins and minerals. I like to brown a pound or two at a time and keep it in my fridge for quick high protein breakfasts or lunches. High in protein, easy reheat, keeps you full and you feel good after eating it. I will say this is pricey so I usually am only able to get it when its on sale but this is a perfect way to give your self a simple high protein option when in a pinch. I eat mine with fruit, avocado, good culture cottage cheese or with bone broth rice. I measure mine out into 4oz servings.
