I don’t know about you, but as I age I’m always looking for natural skincare products that actually deliver on their promises.  That’s why when Besque reached out about trying out their Magic Oil and Divine9 Facial Serum I was intrigued. I’m very picky with what I put on my skin but after a vet of the ingredients and reading some of the reviews I was excited to give it a try! The European skincare brand has developed a loyal following, particularly among women looking to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall radiance using naturally derived ingredients.  After incorporating them into my routine for the past couple weeks, I wanted…

If you’ve been searching for the best gravity water filter for home countertop use you’ve probably come across a few different options.  Personally I think it’s great that there’s more options for individuals and families looking to improve their drinking water. It’s no secret that tap water is anything but clean. From toxins, pharmaceuticals, and even plastics lurking in our supposedly “clean” water it’s no wonder so many of us feel less than optimal.That’s why purifying your tap water is one of the best things you can do for your overall health.  Some gravity systems promise to remove everything under the sun. Others focus heavily on survival scenarios. Very few…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a first-time mom, it’s that sometimes my own wellness and self care often slips to the bottom of the to-do list.  My whole adult life taking care of my own needs came naturally. I never had to “remember” to eat, rest, or take care of myself. But when I became a mom it was too easy to forget about myself (not that that’s always a bad thing!) and I really had to prioritize time to take care of my own wellness.

Over the past few years, I’ve been slowly swapping out products in our home for cleaner, lower-tox options—and air quality was the next thing on my list. Poor air quality is no joke and I don’t take it lightly. I have occasional allergies and poor air quality can trigger migraines for my poor hubby. That’s why in 2020 when we were experiencing horrible air quality yet again from forest fires, I decided it was time to invest in a quality air purifier for our home. That’s when I came across AirDoctor. It’s one of those products that sounds amazing on paper… but also comes with a higher price tag, which…

Have you ever dreamed about having your own at home sauna?  This blog post contains affiliate links. All thoughts and opinions are my own.  Once I learned about the benefits of sauna and heat immersion – I made it a goal to save up for a sauna. As much as I love the look of the pretty cedar saunas that simply wasn’t an option due to price and space.  Then I discovered the Therasage infrared sauna – a portable, affordable, infrared sauna with low EMFs. I immediately started saving and purchased my Therasage 360+ Infrared Sauna three years ago and I’ve been enjoying the benefits ever since.  This is my…

Guest Post By The Wave Forward We live in a world buzzing with electromagnetic fields (EMFs). These manmade fields are all around us, emitted by everything from our Wi-Fi routers to our smartphones, and even the electrical wires running through our homes. While technology brings undeniable convenience and benefits to our lives, there has been growing concern about what all this exposure to EMF might be doing to our health. Let’s take a look at how EMFs can potentially affect our well-being and explore some simple ways to manage our overall exposure.

I’m going to get straight to the point: Plastic is harmful for the environment and it’s harmful for you. A simple way that you can reduce toxins in your life, save money, and help the planet is by reducing your plastic use and consumption.  Plastic is literally used everywhere – from kitchen items to beauty products. It’s in your clothing, furniture, and feminine products. I’m not saying you have to avoid it all (that would be unrealistic and I don’t like to promote a purist lifestyle) BUT you can make simple changes that will make a difference!  I have a long way to go and still contribute to way more…
