    Healthy Holiday Gifts for the Wellness Guru

    Dec 18, 2016 • Wellness & Lifestyle

    Healthy Holiday Gift Ideas for the Wellness Guru

    Hello, hello! Happy Sunday 🙂

    How are you guys doing with your holiday shopping so far?! I did a major online shop last weekend but still have a handful of gifts to pick up this week. If you still need ideas, I rounded up some of my favorites for the wellness guru in your life. Every little bit counts and these gifts help us to lead healthier lifestyles overall, especially with the new year creeping up too.. eek!

    This week is full of craziness and deadlines, so let’s get to it.

    Healthy Holiday Gifts for the Wellness Guru //

    1) Essential Oil Diffuser & Starter Oil Kit

    Last year for xmas, my mom gave me the best gift ever that I use every single day! My essential oil diffuser, which I can’t say enough good things about. Creating a relaxing, calming atmosphere that also smells amazing is right up my alley, especially since I work from home. You can have it on all day and switch up the oils depending on what you need. In the morning I love to use Eucalyptus or Lemon to wake me up and create some fresh energy in my apartment. Then in the afternoon, I switch to my fave Breathe Easier oil or Earth and Wood. After cooking, I LOVE the Purify oil to cleanse the air of leftover cooking smells and then before bed I use Relaxation with a few extra drops of Lavender. 

    There are so many oils for every mood and every time of day – it’s literally life changing! I love this Synergy Oil Blends Set to start out!

    2) Bath Bombs

    Sometimes the only way to warm up in these freezing cold temps is by taking a hot bath! Bath bombs are super fun because they turn the water a pretty color and some are fizzy too. Plus, they make your skin super soft as they’re infused with shea butter and coconut oil and all vegan ingredients. Also known as “fizzies”, these would make the perfect gift for your bestie, sister, mom, grandma or any lady in your life. Everyone needs a reason to relax, especially during the holidays and giving a spa-type gift will give them the excuse they need to take some “me time” and practice self-love and self-care.

    3) Fun Yoga Mats

    I’ve been eyeing these yoga mats for a long while – seriously though, how fun are they?! Who knew yoga mats could turn into pieces of art?!

    If these don’t inspire you to get on your mat and reset your mind, I don’t know what will. Getting into yoga again lately feels so healing and quenching to my muscles. Restoring the body and mind after intense strength training workouts is SO essential; I need it. Flexibility, stretching, relaxation, mind body connection… everything about yoga is on par with a healthy, restorative lifestyle!

    4) Body Polish & Body Oil

    To go along with the bath bombs! Gift the luxurious Coco Rose Body Polish to gently exfoliate and polish away dead skin, leaving skin kissed with a scent of rose! Then to complement the body polish, gift the intoxicating Jasmine Body Oil to nourish and keep skin hydrated in the winter months. This is a premium quality oil that gives skin a youthful glow! Any wellness lover would go crazy for these! 

     

    5) Chic Water Bottles

    Hydration, hydration, hydration. So important for our skin and our bodies to function optimally. These chic rose gold and champagne colored water bottles are everything! Who wouldn’t want to sip out of these gorgeous bottles?! We could all use a little extra motivation to drink more water. They’re so pretty!

    6) 5-Day Body Balance Cleanse & Vegan Starter Guide

    How could I not include my eBooks?! These would make the perfect healthy gift for someone looking to live healthier, but not knowing where to start. These eBooks were created to kickstart a healthier lifestyle, with a focus on more plants and less processed foods.

    My 5-Day Body Balance Cleanse will jumpstart healthier eating habits and guide you along for 5 days of plant based yummy goodness (shopping lists included), while my Vegan Starter Guide will educate on what the plant based vegan lifestyle entails, how to start & transition, the detox process, how to maintain for the long term, my top tips, 30 original bonus recipes, meal plans, FAQ and so much more!

    Get the BUNDLE here.

     

    That’s it! Hopefully these ideas help you out during your holiday shopping this year. Some are splurges and some are affordable, but I think it’s a good mix all around. Be sure to check out my other 2016 Holiday Gift Guide for the Cook and the Cozy Gal for more goodies and extra inspiration!

    & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP. It was super oily & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP.

It was super oily and greasy with buildup from past products. I was washing daily… and just unhappy with the dullness and lack of volume. That has since changed!

Aside from getting transformed hair, this opportunity allows motivated women to have another income source. It allows mamas to have the best of both worlds - their own income while raising their babies (if you’re in that phase of life). It provides social media training, so much guidance and support (you’re never doing it alone), earned confidence and most importantly, community. Some of my best friends are here now because we talk daily and know everything about each other’s lives! Surrounding yourself with like-minded successful women can turn your life around. I’m not kidding. You are who you surround yourself with. It’s more than just shampoo. 

All it takes is deciding YES and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Don’t let life pass you by. Stop wondering and start taking action! 🥂 

If you’re ready, DM me BIZ and let’s chat 💞

    what healing looks like 🌼🩷 I starts out my what healing looks like 🌼🩷

I starts out my morning with a bunch of supplements to eliminate parasites and bacteria and repair my gut while supporting my liver and gallbladder. Next I make a protein smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder and a custom supplement to support my deficiencies. And lastly my creamy dandy blend latte because I’m not drinking coffee right now.

This is what works for me right now! I also have gf toast usually from @awgbakery. I’ve had to eliminate so many things but it’s all for good reason, to reduce all the inflammation. I’m working with @lifelabwellnessco if you would like your own custom plan and testing 🙏🏼 should I share more videos like this?
