It boils down to value!
My 21 year commitment to preventative wellness has yielded incredible results for my health and finances, all while allowing to make more environmentally conscious choices. this little brown box is the source of it all—my toothpaste, mouthwash, body wash, laundry soap, coffee, vitamins, essential oils and 400 plus other products! I have not need to shop anywhere else.
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…

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.
When we body sweat, we actually lose more than just water; electrolytes are also lost. Electrolytes are essential minerals. 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!
Packed with essential vitamins, like Vitamins C and E antioxidant support that helps prevent sore muscles, and Vitamin B12 and Riboflavin for energy and cellular support.
No artificial colors.
$12.99 for twenty packets which amounts to $0.64 per 16 ounce bottle.

She needs this daily, but it is a must for my hair after washing it, too.

I was asked “can you do your magic on these”? while being shown a pair of filthy sneakers.
I love a good challenge!
It’s crazy to think that plants are this powerful! Twenty years ago I would have pulled out the Clorox and not thought twice about the warning label. Today I took a better Ecosense way and look at the results—they look new!
I’m so glad I found a safer way, to get the job done, without jeopardizing our health!
Day 10: Proflex Protein
Did you know that not all protein powders are built the same?
That’s why I choose to rebuild and recover with high-performance Proflex Pro whey protein shakes. Just because it’s the holiday season doesn’t mean my workout time goes away, I still need to keep my muscles strong and healthy so I can carry all those packages and lug all of the decorations from the attic.
I love that this vanilla shake mix packs 30 grams of protein and 6.5 grams of BCAAs in each serving for superior muscle tissue growth and faster recovery. It also comes in chocolate. I like to drink one as a snack on busy days especially after my workouts since it offers maximum recovery and muscle building.

Garlic has been a staple in natural medicine for thousands of years, dating back to the ancient Egyptians. Gravediggers in 18th century France crushed it in wine to fight off the plague.
Also soldiers were given garlic during both WWI and WWII to prevent gangrene. It was used as an antiseptic, applying to wounds because they thought it prevented infection.
Lab results show that garlic contains compounds that help kill cancerous cells. The Iowa Women’s Health Study researched 41,000 middle-aged women who consumed garlic regularly. The result? They were found to have a 35% lower risk of colon cancer than their counterparts who did not consume garlic.
There are several studies that connect consuming raw garlic to a reduced risk of some specific cancers:

I’m proud to say that 21 years ago I made a decision to start detoxing my home of chemicals.
I must say it took me a while to make the decision. I basically had to after being admitted to hospital for the umpteenth time with life-threatening asthma and numerous lung infections. Having asthma, I was careful, I avoided smokey places, avoided perfume-y places, avoided too hot air or too cold air. But I wasn’t avoiding chemicals in my environment.
My lungs couldn’t handle the chemicals in the products I was using bot at home and at work. I knew if the chemicals existed in my home (like formaldehyde in the carpeting) and I knew they affected me, but I had come to the breaking point. I had to remove the ones I could and fast. I wanted to breathe!
Through a friend I found the Wellness Store and I’ve never gone back to my old standbys. I the first few weeks I saw an improvement in my breathing and energy levels. My new chemical-free products worked just as well —if not better than my old ones. The fact they are cleaner, greener and more affordable is just a plus.
The Wellness Store for the win. Isn’t it time you join me celebrating good health?
