A Quick Note About Our Wellness Store

It’s been so exciting to see the tremendous interest and inquiries from all of you over the past few weeks. I truly appreciate your support! However, I want to take a moment to make something clear: this store isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly OK.

Our wellness store is for those who are already embracing low-toxic living, who are looking for quality products that support their health and well-being—and, let’s be real, who are already spending a pretty penny at the grocery store for similar items. If that’s you, this is a great fit. We aim to make those products more accessible and offer a selection that fits a healthy, non-toxic lifestyle.

A quick reminder: we still have our $1 membership until the end of January, so if you’ve been considering joining, now’s a great time to take advantage of this special offer!

Thank you again for all of your support. If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to explore the store and see how we can support your wellness journey.

Achieving Weight Loss: The Truth Behind the Journey

I’ve had some time to reflect on my weight loss journey, and I want to share a little bit of insight. First, I’ll be honest—I used to avoid talking about it. It’s not that I’m not proud of what I’ve accomplished, but it’s hard to find the right words. The truth is, I’ve lost 25 pounds, and it wasn’t due to any "magic pill" or quick fix. It took months of consistent hard work, staying on track, and making choices that supported my health and well-being.

Here’s the real deal: weight loss is all about dedication. Supplements like berberine can be great supports, especially for glucose balance and overall metabolic health, but they’re not the miracle solution. They work best when paired with a healthy lifestyle, consistent exercise, and good nutrition. There’s no shortcut to long-term results.

That’s why I’m so excited about our online wellness store—it’s packed with products that can really make a difference when it comes to supporting your journey, whether it’s glucose support, supplements like berberine, or other tools to help you stay on track. It’s all about finding the right balance and making those small, consistent choices every day.

If I can lose 25 pounds through hard work and determination, so can you. Let our store help you take the next step in your own wellness journey. Consistency is key, and with the right tools, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.

Growth isn’t always linear, but today is a reminder of how far I’ve come. When we first got our sons, there was so much anxiety around the legal process, especially with the challenges of out-of-province adoptions. Back then, everything felt so overwhelming, and we made decisions—like taking PG and custody—to make things smoother and faster. But even now, navigating the legal aspects of our adoption journey can still be tough.

Today, I had to go to the city to pick up their passports. At first, the anxiety kicked in—papers weren’t in order, and I didn’t even have the paperwork needed to make it happen. But I’m proud to say that this time, I kept my emotions in check, something I couldn’t have imagined doing years ago.

I’m so grateful for the people who helped today, especially the folks at the passport office and the Children and Family Ministry. Thanks to their support, everything got sorted out, and I can pick up the passports on Monday. It’s moments like these that remind me how much growth I’ve experienced and how important it is to lean on the right people.

Getting up before 4 a.m. to work on your fitness is no small feat, especially as a 45-year-old woman juggling life’s many responsibilities. But you’ve found something that makes it not just possible, but sustainable: your pre-workout and protein supplements from your "wellness store."

These products are a game-changer. The pre-workout is packed with natural ingredients that give you that clean energy boost, without the crash or jitters. You know how important it is to fuel your body before an early morning workout, and this gives you the support you need to perform at your best, even when the world is still sleeping.

Then, after your workout, you turn to your protein supplement. As you grow older, muscle recovery and repair become even more crucial. These high-quality, easily digestible proteins help rebuild your muscles, ensuring you see the gains you're working so hard for. Plus, they’re safe, gentle on your stomach, and have a great taste that makes post-workout recovery something to look forward to.

The best part? These products are from a brand you trust, one that’s committed to health, sustainability, and using green, safe ingredients. They’re affordable and offer everything you need without any harsh chemicals or additives. They align perfectly with your goal of achieving holistic wellness, inside and out. You can confidently refer others to these products, knowing they’ll be supporting their own health goals in a responsible, green way.

With these supplements, you're not just waking up early; you're setting yourself up for success, with energy and recovery that keep you moving toward those muscle-building goals, one workout at a time.

Are you ready to make your laundry routine safer and cleaner? Let me introduce you to my non-toxic laundry solutions! No harsh chemicals, just pure, effective cleaning that’s gentle on both your clothes and the environment.

Now, here's a funny little story: I was in my laundry room today—yes, in mid-January—and still finding bits of Christmas around the house! Today it was oven mitts and bed sheets, which were both lovingly sprinkled with a bit of leftover holiday cheer. I know, I know, it’s a bit late—but hey, at least they were clean and fresh with my non-toxic detergent, right?

When you use our non-toxic laundry products, you’re not only saying goodbye to harmful chemicals, but you're also giving your family and your clothes the best care possible. So, let’s keep it fresh, safe, and, dare I say, even a little bit festive—no matter the season.

Do you use electrolytes?

Are they safe?

These are an essential part of our family's health. ❤️ we have kids very active in sports and we eat a very low carb diet. I am so grateful I found something I can feel good about sharing with my kids. There are so many terrible drinks out there, and a large portion of them are marketed towards our youth.

They are available in a variety of flavors 😋

2024 was my family era. I have enjoyed creating a little home that's warm and cozy and full of love.

We have 3 beautiful grandbabies, and they all love to sleep at our house. This brings me the most joy. I have worked to make sure people feel safe and comfortable in our home.

This is also important when it comes to the products I use in my home. Do you know that the biggest toxins in your home are your cleaning products 🤔

I will be sharing my favorite non-toxic products that I feel safe to use in my home with my grandbabies and pets.

After surviving cancer over 10 years ago, I made it my mission to use products that were going to cause my family to be ill later in life. If you're passionate about your health, make sure to follow along.
