If you're struggling with insomnia, I've been there.🦉 I've put together this list with things I've tried and that have helped me with sleeplessness in the past. I hope you find it helpful! 🤗
No one likes the sicknesses that commonly arise in the colder season. We’re cooped up inside, so less natural vitamin D (eh hem looking at you sunlight). We tend to eat more poorly (holiday sweets and treats). All of which can negatively impact our immune system. BUT… here are some of my favorite ways to prevent illness or boost my and my family’s immune system when I’m sick to recover quicker! What works for us may not for you, but these are what we use and like.
Welcome to my curated dental collection! Here, I handpick my absolute favorite finds, holy-grail essentials, and daily recommendations to save you time. After much research, in-home testing, and years of dental visits, my family has switched to fluoride-free dental care. Instead, we look for tooth pastes with nano-hydroxyapatite, the naturally-occurring mineral that makes up the majority of your tooth enamel (97% of tooth enamel and 70% of dentin). Brushing your teeth with this mineral, fills in the tiny enamel holes in your teeth, which strengthens, whitens, remineralizes, and desensitizes. The type of hydroxyapatite matters! I look for 10%, nano-sized, and ROD-SHAPED. The rod shape matches native enamel crystal orientation (enamel mimicry). This ensures the most therapeutic outcome. I also like tooth pastes that include xylitol as a natural sweetener (a natural sugar alcohol) , which starves mouth bacteria, lowers mouth acidity, and stimulates saliva production to protect enamel. (keep xylitol-containing products away from animals as their bodies do not digest this compound-completely safe for humans) This list contains products from transparent companies with ingredients that are clean, floride-free, and 10% rod-shaped nano-hydroxyapatite and of course all are safe to swallow and do not need rinsing (keeps the product on longer). I have also included some of my favorite oral care items to help you feel extra confident at your next dental visit! Get ready to impress your dentist! *Disclosure: This list contains affiliate links.

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.
