25 All-Natural Products That Changed My Life
To make it easier for you, I divided the all-natural products in my toolbox into price-point categories. I didn’t make the transition overnight. It took several years to get to this place where this is 100% our lifestyle! I transitioned one product at a time, little by little as we ran out of items and as our budget allowed.
PS – While each of the products is placed into three price categories, please understand if the manufacturer changes the prices and they end up being a little more or less than what they are listed as here.

Beautycounter
This list is in ABC order, but I love that Beautycounter is first. Your skin is the largest organ in/on your body and while we may eat organic food, we sometimes forget all of the toxins that get absorbed through our skin with traditional skin-care and makeup products. I still want to be pampered, but without all of the toxic soup! Beautycounter has skin-care and makeup products that are clean and simple and free of color, fragrance, oxybenzone, DEA, parabens, dioxin, PEG, and phthalates. My entire family uses their products (they have items for men too!) and I love knowing that my skin-care and makeup are safe. It’s how I keep my all-natural glow and can fool people about my age by a good 10 years!
Gratitude Journal
Throughout the storms of life, gratitude quickly became my jam. I was talking about it and writing about it all of the time. A gratitude journal is an easy way to change your outlook on life. I usually write down three things I’m grateful for each day during my morning meditation time, and it has completely changed my daily perspective on life.

Truly Free Home
Our family’s go-to brand is TrulyFreeHome. Why? It’s made with 100% naturally non-toxic ingredients, it’s delivered to your door, it comes in reusable jugs and pouches to reduce waste… AND… it’s less expensive than store brands. Laundry isn’t sexy, but it’s part of my daily routine and I want to use products that are safe, all-natural, and good for the environment.

Swannies Blue Light Glasses
Many people with health issues have problems either falling asleep or staying asleep. Melatonin is the hormone that regulates your sleep/wake cycle, and blue lights from your cell phone, TV, computer, etc trick your body into thinking it’s still daytime. Since it’s impossible to live in a bubble and not be away from our cell phones, tablets, computers and TV’s for any length of time, day glasses for screen glare and classic blue light blockers are a favorite health hack and nighttime ritual.
Shop Swannies Blue Light Glasses
Thrive Market
Thrive Market is like Whole Foods on steroids. Organic, Non-GMO, gluten free, Paleo, vegan, kosher steroids that is. It’s an online store full of the best groceries and home products that are healthier for you. Their own generic brand has even better prices for you.

Aquasana Whole Home Water Filtration System
I want the water in my entire home to be clean and safe. According to testing conducted by the Environmental Working Group, 250 chemicals were detected in American drinking water overall (160 of which are not regulated by the federal government). Even more worrying, 81 percent of systems tested had contaminants that have been linked to cancer. A good quality whole home water filtration system was one of the best investments we’ve ever made. Use code: PINK50 for an extra discount.

Avodaco Organic Mattress
I am obsessed with my sleep. Sleeping and spending time in bed is a by-product of many individuals with a chronic illness. Investing in a quality organic mattress that does not off-gas toxic fumes was totally worth not inhaling all of those chemicals. I am 100% in love with my Avocado mattress!
Energenesis
I reached out to my dear friend, Ari Whitten, who created Energenesis, which has been a lifesaver for me and has given me so much more sustained energy. I had heard so many wonderful testimonials about his program, I had to try it for myself. Ari gets into some more advanced bio-hacking principles – which BTW are super easy to implement that go straight to the cellular level. It was the boost that I needed. Oh, and PS – he’s offered his Energy Blueprint Masterclass to my Pink Fortitude community… for FREE!
Tote Bags
I know… tote bags shouldn’t count as life-changing. But having a chronic illness means way too many trips to the doctors and even the hospital. Sword & Plough is female-Veteran owned and their totes are made with military surplus materials. Being a military spouse married to a Green Beret, I love supporting this company, AND… their bags are perfect to carry all of my stuff to my doctor’s appointments.
You are Energy Course
Energy work and EFT Tapping may help to combat anxiety, stress, insomnia, and even anger and other negative emotions. As a Christian, I wasn’t sure about how energy work fits in with my faith. I’ve worked with Amy and she not only embraced my faith but helped me grow a stronger and deeper connection. I know personally, this has helped me greatly in times of increased stress, dealing with emotional issues, and falling back to sleep in the middle of the night.
I know this might be a lot to digest but I hope I made it easy for you to learn more about my tried and true favorite products. Try some out for yourself and let me know what you think!
