Day 20: Sei Bella Dry Shampoo
I love this dry shampoo because I’m a busy person and I don’t want to wash my hair every day.
I know overwashing will dry my hair out faster than the Arizona sun. But this shampoo works by absorbing oil and sweat, adding shine while infusing my strands with the sweet scent of vanilla. It nourishes, protects, and refreshes my hair in time for those holiday parties and events without the harsh chemicals. residue or build-up.
$19.50.
Day 18: Exceed Toothpolish
Yes, I keep my sparkle and shine with toothpaste. After all, the mouth is the gateway to overall body health and a common entry point for germs and bacteria. There is a strong connection between oral health and overall health, including the immune system!
I love how this toothpaste keeps my mouth and gums healthy and my breath fresh even on my busiest days. Everyone needs it and it makes another great stocking stuffer.
This natural toothpaste isn’t filled with toxic junk and is perfect for sensitive teeth and gums and it’s half the price of its natural counterparts at $4.59.
Cindy’s Story
I grew up like most people—using all the familiar store-bought cleaners for my home, dishes, laundry, and even personal care. I was also exposed to secondhand smoke from birth and later became a smoker myself (thankfully, I quit after 10 years). I now live with emphysema.
About 14 years ago, a friend from church told me about The Wellness Company. I figured I’d give it a try and started with the Value Pack. Little by little, I swapped out the products I was used to—and I was amazed. Everything I tried worked better than what I had been using!
Then, a couple of years in, I had a moment I’ll never forget. I walked into my house and was hit with a STRONG smell of bleach—turns out my roommate couldn’t find the Tub & Tile cleaner and grabbed an old bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles I thought I’d tossed. He was cleaning upstairs, and I could smell it all the way downstairs.
That was my wake-up call.
I’m so thankful I made the switch when I did—not just for my own lungs, but for my pets too. If you’re still using harsh chemicals or are living with COPD or similar conditions, please consider making a change. Safer products do make a difference. Your life could depend on it—mine certainly does.

Muscle mass peaks in our 30s and then starts a long, slow decline. Muscle loss, also called Sarcopenia, affects more than 45% of older Americans, especially women.
The good news: No matter your age, you can take steps to maximize your strength. Resistance training is key, but equally important, is eating adequate amounts of protein. If we don’t eat enough protein, we’re missing half of the equation.
As we age, the goal is to consume protein from food at a faster rate than our body is breaking it down. When you add in resistance training, this will help maintain muscle mass. But how much protein should we consume?
The National Academy of Science recommend a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. That’s about 0.36 grams of protein multiplied by your weight in pounds. That means a person who weighs 150 pounds should consume at least 54 grams of protein a day.
But many experts say more is optimal. As we age, protein needs to increase—and if you are exercising a lot—which is the way to build new muscle — you may benefit from even more. Some sports medicine experts recommend 115 grams of protein for a 150 pound person.

If you take an aspirin every day, it’s best to take it at night. The reason: aspirin has a “half-span” of 24 hours. So if most heart attacks happen in the morning, the aspirin in your body will be at its peak then.
Aspirins can last for many years in your small home pharmacy, but not really because as they get older they smell like vinegar.
Why keep aspirin on your bedside table?
Besides pain in the left arm, there are other symptoms that indicate a heart attack:
Note: In a heart attack it is possible that you have NO chest pain.
If you ever wake up to intense chest pains…
DO NOT LAY DOWN!”

Day 14: Sustain Electrolytes
Because my family runs at supersonic speed. Between holiday activities, shopping, the gym, and sports, we sweat a lot. I know that staying hydrated during physical activity is crucial.

Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Keeping well-hydrated improves my sleep quality, cognition, and mood, but is especially important to sustain physical activity especially during the holidays. We can’t let Santa down!
