Obasan Organic Mattress Review
We’ve been sleeping on our Obasan mattress for several months now. Verdict? We LOVE it. Here’s my full and honest Obasan organic mattress review. Obasan gave me a discount on their organic mattress in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. As I’ve continued to do my best to reduce toxins in my home and products, I knew that one day an organic mattress was a must. After all, we spend half of our lives sleeping and I didn’t want to be inhaling toxic fumes and chemicals during that time! I originally found Obasan back in the summer of 2020. We had no need for…

Healthy Southwest Turkey Skillet
This healthy southwest turkey skillet is a regular meal at our house! It’s super tasty, packed with protein and veggies, and comes together quickly. You can customize this in any way you like! Don’t want turkey? Try ground grass-fed beef. Want to add different veggies? Go for it! Want to skip the slaw? It’s still good without it. The enchilada sauce is really what pulls this whole meal together. I make my own version to make it healthier and avoid unnecessary ingredients. I don’t really measure the spices for the enchilada sauce. I just add a little bit at a time until I get the flavor how I like. If…

Aculief Review: Natural Headache & Tension Relief
Headaches suck. I’m a total baby when it comes to headaches. Jonny on the other hand deals with chronic headaches. Even though he’s much more tough with them and can manage them pretty well, he still has bad days. That’s why when Aculief reached out and asked if I wanted to try and review some of their natural headache relief wearables I said YES! We both try and avoid pain killers whenever possible so anything that’s natural that can help we are both willing to try. Aculief sent me their Aculief wearable acupressure for your hand and their headache hat. It actually came at the perfect time because both Jonny…

5 Tips for More Confidence in the Gym
I definitely know what it feels like to feel a little nervous or out of place at the gym. The first time, the first several times actually, I walked into a gym I felt so insecure. I’m a shy person at heart and thought that everyone was going to judge me for clearly being the newbie at the gym. I wore baggy clothes (which is totally fine btw but I did it to hide) and would go to some corner to workout alone. ⠀⠀ Then I realized that I wasn’t here for other people. I was here for ME and my health progress. It didn’t matter what anyone else thought.…

My Daysy Fertility Tracker Review
It’s officially been six months since I ditched birth control and started using the Daysy Fertility Tracker. This post contains affiliate links. See my full affiliate disclosure here. You can use my code DaysyUS+467 to save $15 on your own Daysy Fertility Tracker. Lemme tell ya, ditching hormonal birth control feels freaking awesome. I had an IUD (Skyla) for three years before I made the switch. I actually had no issues with my IUD. It didn’t give me too many weird side effects and I luckily still had a regular period all three years. But there’s just something so empowering about being all natural when it comes to birth control.…

7 Simple Things You Can Do to Limit Environmental Toxins
But everything will kill you eventually anyway Amy, so why does it matter? This is the biggest argument I hear when it comes to the “non-toxic” or “limit environmental toxins” conversation. Yes it’s true. There is a lot of RISK in this life, a lot of unknowns, and even though we may try our darndest, bad things can happen. But why not try to make better choices? Why not take some personal responsibility when it comes to our health? Why not try to swap out things here and there that could have a drastic impact on your health in the long run? My why when it comes to health and…

When to Take a Rest Day from Working Out
Confused when to take a rest day from working out? Rest days are a critical part of any workout plan or routine, but sometimes it can be hard to know when you should actually rest or maybe you feel guilty for doing so. (Please don’t!) Raise your hand if you’ve ever had these questions about taking a rest day: Why are rest days so important? How often should I take a rest day? What factors should determine when I take a rest day? What should I do (or not do) on my rest days? When to take a rest day or how much to rest will differ for each person.…
