Kitchen Items:
This large package of unbleached parchment paper is sitting in a drawer in my kitchen where I can just pull one out when I need it. They fit my pans, and I love not having to fiddle with breaking a piece off and estimating the size needed.
This veggie chopper actually does more than just cut veggies. It has a spiralizer, grater, and mandolin slicer. It also comes with a cut resistant glove, which I recommend using. At our house, this comes in most handy for cubing sweet potatoes, dicing onions, and spiralizing everything.
We use these bowls daily. They are heavy-duty, so cute, and I love Mora’s mission. They encourage us to slow down and enjoy the moment, and I really do feel that when I use these bowls.
These plates are from the same company as the bowls above, and I feel all the same things about them. We also use them daily.
Using wooden utensils saves your pots and pans from scratches. These ones are gorgeous teak, and I seriously am obsessed with them. Make sure you only wash with soap and water.
I don’t know why these pizza wheels are the only kind of pizza wheel. You can actually put more pressure on the food while using one like this. I love that this one can be easily taken apart and put back together for cleaning, and it has a blade protector. It also makes a great wedding our housewarming gift.
This skimmer ladle is awesome. I mainly use it for scooping things out of my Instant Pot or scooping something that was boiling.
I don’t need to convince you about how great Instant Pots are. Just about every week I cook a whole chicken and then bone broth in it. I love having the larger size, 8 quarts.
This colander gets a lot of use in our house. I love that it’s stainless steel, large, and that the holes are very small.
Yay for using less plastic. The measuring spoons in this set fit in to spice jars, which is fantastic. The measuring cups have lines on the inside so that you can use a larger cup to measure something smaller when needed.
The anti-slip bottoms, the lids, and the fact that these mixing bowls are stainless steel are all wins in my book. We love these bowls.
After using this blender for the first time I wondered why we waited so long to get it. We always had chunky, not smooth, smoothies. Now, we have the smoothest smoothies that taste 100 times better. Simply put, I love this blender and recommend it to everyone.
Having a garlic press is so handy. I hate fiddling with those little slippery cloves. This makes it so much easier for us to get fresh garlic in our diets. I love that this particular one comes with a little peeler and a cleaning brush.
My husband found this utensil organizer and we love it! It can expand or contract to fit the size of your drawer and has lots of cavities. Our kabob skewers fit in the long side cavity.
These black straws are so cute. They also don’t get as cold as uncoated stainless steel ones. We use them for fun drinks like slushies or shakes.
These stainless steel straws are great reusable straws. We don’t use them as much for very cold drinks, but they are fun to use and cute.
This is in my spice cabinet and it’s perfect for those regular sized spice jars. I love actually seeing what I have and finding what I want easily.
We use these daily, I love that they’re glass, and I love that they snap around the sides. Also, glass doesn’t stain, so say bye to leftover pasta sauce stains.
Silicone oven mitts are great, because they protect your hands much better than only fabric mitts. These get used daily over here.
These straws get used daily in our house. They are how I got my kids to try out green smoothies, and now they drink one just about every day. Including the 1 year old. The power of a colorful straw is amazing.
We use these for our kid’s lunch boxes. I love how slim they are! We put one on top and one on the bottom of their lunch boxes.
This popsicle mold is awesome, because the sticks are reusable, it’s easy to get the popsicles out, and they come out a cute shape.
We have only used these for the kid’s lunches, but I’m looking forward to using them for baking as well. They are great in the lunches, because they separate food easily.
This is a cute cruet that I use for our homemade dressings. It just makes things a little more fun!
This is a very cute mortar and pestle that I don’t use a lot, but mainly because I buy my spices already ground. The times that I have used it though, the spices were very pleasantly fragrant.
These kabob skewers are great, because they’re flat, have a nice round loop to flip the skewers, and fit plenty of food. I love a good kabob dinner.
We are thrilled with how these stools have held up for us. They are sturdy, easy to clean, and I love the sleek matte black color.
These chairs match our stools, and we love them. They are easy to wipe down, so perfect for a family with kids. They are also stackable, which we actually do a lot to avoid letting the 1 year old climb on the dining table.
Although I use this for taking cooking videos, this is a great hot plate. It heats up quickly and I’m excited to try it out for weekend camping trips.
This cute apron was a gift for my son for Christmas one year. Kids love helping in the kitchen, and it’s even more exciting when wearing an apron.
Food Items:
This is a great drink. I’ve noticed that since I started using it, my stress tolerance has increased. I like to add a little coconut water and honey to it to give it a better flavor.
These are the best beef sticks of all time! I’m obsessed with Paleovalley’s products. All of the flavors of beef sticks are great. My favorites are the Summer Sausage and the Teriyaki.
I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to find non-fortified nutritional yeast in our small town. This packet lasts us several months, and I love that it’s not fortified with synthetic vitamins.
My love for Paleovalley continues. Their super greens don’t have any grasses and taste amazing. Check out the list of ingredients and see why it’s a superior choice for greens powders.
Exercise Items:
I use these bands, mainly for working out at home, but I’m looking forward to bringing them to the gym too. I love that they are comfortable on my legs.
I love workout clothes, but they have to be high quality. This top is lightweight and so cute. It runs TTS, and I want to wear it every time I workout.
These surprised me in a good way. The material is soft and stretchy, yet has just the right compression. I love the print on this one, and I tend to reach for them when I’m getting ready to workout. If you’re between sizes, size up!
I love this sports bra. It has a high neckline, is supportive, and tall. It’s great for wearing under a crop. I find that I grab this one the most often out of all the other sports bras I have.
These are my favorite joggers for such a good price. I love them so much I have them in 3 colors. They are lightweight and can be dressed up or down.
Rolling out your muscles after a workout hurts so good. If you’re looking for a foam roller, this one has worked well for me.
I wore this maternity belt with my last pregnancy, and it was a life saver. It was especially helpful during workouts when my belly felt extra heavy.
This maternity tank top was my go-to top for working out in while pregnant. It’s stretchy, comfortable, and breathable.
These headphones are great, because they stay in my ears! Most other headphones don’t. They are easy to use, have a cool little carrying case, and they are very noise cancelling.
Clean Living:
We switched to this tooth powder and are not looking back. This has improved the strength of my teeth, healed dental issues, gotten rid of bad morning breath, and has whitened my teeth. I can’t recommend this stuff enough.
We invested in a really good water purification system, because our city’s water quality is really bad. We wanted clean water that would not have heavy metals and other contaminates in it. So far, we are loving it.
I love using a glass water bottle, because I know it’s not going to leech any chemicals into my water. This one is comfortable to hold and has a little rope loop to help carry it when needed.
This humidifier is great. We love that it’s quiet, large, has a night-light, has 3 settings, and has the spot for essential oils.
I started making our hand soap to avoid the toxic chemicals found it commercial hand soap. It’s so so easy to do. We use these foaming dispensers for the soap and I love that it’s not messy for the kids to use.
I’ll either buy this Castile soap, or get one from the store to make our hand soap. Mix it with equal parts water, and then add some drops of essential oils for a clean soap.
We got these sheets recently, and I am loving them. They are soft and I feel good about using them because they are hypo-allergenic.
This comforter is also bamboo and we also love it. Made sustainably, hypo-allergenic, and not hot. We got a king size, even though our bed is queen, because some reviews recommended it and we will probably get a king bed in the near future. Even if we stuck with a queen bed forever, I’m glad we got the king size comforter.
