2023 Holiday Gift Guide
My 2023 holiday guide is all about gifts that promote healthy daily habits & routines from morning to night! I personally own and use all of these brands and products each and every day to elevate my overall health & wellness! This year, these are my TOP PICKS to help promote wellness from the inside out: mind + body + soul. Happy Holidays! xo
COPPER TOUNGE SCRAPPER
This is a daily MUST before anything else in your daily routine! The scrapper removes the bacteria from the tongue which is important to do before drinking water or coffee each morning. Helps to improve bad breath, promotes overall oral health. Ayurveda recommends using copper for improved sense of taste and oral health. Unlike most copper tongue scrapers, it is stain resistant and not susceptible to rust or mold, making it durable and easy to clean.GRATITUDE JOURNAL
It goes without saying but proven benefits of a gratitude journal increases our happiness and positive outlook. This leads to better physical and psychological health including better sleep and energy balance! I love this journal because it’s a quick few minutes in the morning… and another few quick minutes before bed! This can really set the tone for the day and be a great way to wrap up the day!DRY BRUSH
If you know me just a little at all or have been one of my clients - then you know how important dry brushing is and probably have received one from me as a gift! Dry brushing in the morning before the shower is great to help move the lymphatic system which is important for detoxification. Our lymph nodes are not on a pump system such as our heart or arteries, lymph needs to be physically moved and this is a great tool! Dry brushing also helps exfoliate the skin, increase circulation, energy and reduce cellulite.CLEARSTEM FACE WASH & NO-BOTOX FACE SERUM
I am so proud to be an ambassador of Clear Stem! I discovered this brand last year, listened to the female founders on various podcasts about their holistic approach to acne and aging. At the time, I had a couple of clients dealing with acne & acne on the back, I was blown away by their research and high-quality product line. So naturally I started to order and use their products which I love - they are all clean products which use 100% non-clogging ingredients! They reached out this past fall and I am excited to be working with them! Personally, I love the full produce line including the brush-on sunscreen (great for the kids when on the go/traveling, but sadly it’s on backorder until late Dec/early Jan) and I especially love the gentle VITAMINSCRUB and BOUNCEBACK “NO-BOTOX SERUM.” My skin hasn’t been more glowy, yes even at 40!

A staple in my house, I love this local Santa Barbara brand! These are functional plant-based lattes which have lots of adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms and probiotics! They use coconut powdered creamer (my fav) so you just add water! I have all of their flavors, but my #1 fav is the Matcha Latte which is packed with lion’s mane and L-theanine for a clear-headed and energizing pick-me-up! It’s no wonder why this made Oprah’s favorite list and Meghan Markle is an angel inventor.

My #1 everyday must-have supplements: spore-based probiotics! If you’ve worked with me 1:1 or in my group-coaching programs, YKIYK! These are the best probiotics on the market, hands down. Yes, these are a bit expensive but they are worth it. I have single-handedly watch my client’s transformation (heal their gut microbiome & leaky gut) by taking these probiotics daily. The reason why this probiotic strain actually works is because they are spore-based, meaning there is a protective coating/shell around them allowing them to survive our stomach acid. They are then able to travel to our intestines in order to repopulate the good bacteria in our gut microbiome. The conventional probiotics in the market (in the refrigerator section) end up dying off our stomach because they are so acidic which is no good! All that said, because I have referred so many clients to this brand and have been taking these daily for over 3 years, they asked if I would become an affiliate of their brand and of course I said yes!

Not sure I remember life before my Hatch Restore! This is more than just your average alarm clock! If you like to be woken in a “low stress state” there is a feature to use light 30 min before your sweet & soothing alarm sound goes off! It also has guided meditation, white noise, fun light color features and as mentioned, the loveliest alarm tones to elevate and improve your sleep hygiene! The app is also super user-friendly! We also have the Rest version for our kiddo’s bedroom which allows you to select the color green at wake-up time so your child knows it’s time to wake up (this worked wonders when our kids were younger and they were getting up before 6am). Highly recommend!CYMBIOTIKA LIPOSOMAL SLEEP DROPS
I absolutely love this supplement brand! They are the top-of-the line when it comes to research, quality and innovation. The liposomal delivery is an advanced technology that allows nutrients to reach your body effectively without being broken down by the digestive system, thus - we are able to absorb the nutrients better in our bodies. I love their liquid vitamin pouches but the liposomal sleep is my favorite product which is a nice little cacao/chocolately sweet treat before bed - 12 drops which help the body and mind to relax and unwind. Since this has 1mg of melatonin, they recommend 6 days on/1 day off. I actually notice a difference when I take this, I get more restful, deeper sleep!LMNT ELECTROLYTES
I’m pretty sure I died of dehydration in a past life because you will never not see me without my water bottle… or two! All jokes aside, I take hydration very serious. I always recommend my clients drink half their body weight in oz of water per day. So if you weigh 150 pounds - you should drink at least 75 oz of water per day (herbal teas & electrolytes are included in this number). I know that plain water can be boring for people so I recommend adding lemon or a little sea salt for an at-home low-cost electrolyte. Otherwise, LMNT is the best on the market because they don't contain sugar - they use a little stevia which is great because it doesn’t spike the blood sugar. They also contain other trace minerals - so it has sodium, magnesium and potassium. Stay away from the Liquid IV electrolytes, those puppies are packed with sugar - 11g per serving which is nearly half of our daily recommended amount we should consume! LMNT also has great flavors, our whole families loves them especially the raspberry and watermelon flavors! These are great to take daily or every-other day especially if you sweat or do hot yoga like myself.
