Nurses and Healthcare Workers are an entity of their own! We give to a fault, poor from our own glass way too often, care for all, work until we are exhausted and then work some more… and we often have a warped sense of humor. (We just can't be that perfect!). So, what you will find, is anything and everything that is All about the Nurse!
When a migraine hits, you can't think, you can't move, and fluorescent lights feel like a personal attack.

Okay, confession time: I'm a dentist, and I have a Halloween candy weakness. Every year I tell myself I'll hand out toothbrushes like a villain from a kids' movie, and every year the bowl fills with chocolate anyway. So instead of fighting it, here's my honest survival plan: smarter treats that won't wreck teeth, the exact post-candy rescue routine I'd tell my own patients to follow, and the little trick-or-treat night extras that make the whole evening easier. Pick what works for your house — zero judgement if you keep the good chocolate for yourself. This is general guidance from my experience as a dentist, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist.
Because health doesn’t have to be boring, bland, or beige. Here’s my collection of quirky, fun, and slightly ridiculous things that make wellness feel less like a chore and more like a vibe. Hydrate, stretch, snack, and laugh your way into feeling good.
When I started my GLP-1 journey, I wasn't prepared for how different my eating habits would become. Between reduced appetite, staying hydrated, getting enough protein, and managing some of the common side effects, I had to find products that actually worked for my lifestyle. This collection includes the protein drinks, snacks, electrolytes, supplements, and everyday essentials that have helped me feel my best and stay consistent along the way. These are all products I personally use, enjoy, or have found helpful during the process.
Lying awake at 2 AM doing mental math on how many hours of sleep you'll get if you fall asleep RIGHT NOW is its own special torture. If you've tried melatonin pills that taste like chalk and ended up skipping them entirely, or bought fancy sleep supplements that did absolutely nothing, this is the lineup that finally broke my insomnia cycle. Took me eight months of testing so you can skip straight to what works.
I added items that I personally use and highly recommend if you’re trying to gain or even lose weight. I gained over 15 pounds in the span of 6 months 😌

Wellness favorites from a 35-year-old former party girl who now mills her own flour. 😂 Think clean living, non-toxic swaps, holistic wellness, supplements, natural beauty, and little things that make you feel good from the inside out. Still fun, just a little more into sourdough, mineral sunscreen, and what’s actually in my products than what’s in my cocktail. 🌿✨

I will be adding products as I find them!

It's been a surgery summer for us this year! Two daughters had their wisdom teeth removed and one had her tonsils removed just a month afterwards (at 18 years old).

As a college student, staying healthy and focused is really important to me. It is difficult to avoid illness on a super germy and busy campus, where sick people surround you all day long. That’s why I take a lot of immune boosting supplements. I also go to the gym a lot, so joint and cardiovascular health as well as prioritizing muscle recovery is something I look for supplements to help me with!
Barefoot shoes are a must for foot health. My ankles and feet are so much stronger after making the switch.
Here are my favorite shoes. They’re all great for people who are new to minimalist footwear!
Let's be real. Few of us (I included) give our bodies what they need to operate at their best. As a lifelong athlete, I’ve taken countless supplements.

I'm sharing items I've enjoyed having along my journey as a type 2 diabetic that have really changed the game for me, and made it easier to see what's going on with my body from the INSIDE.
Lying in bed at 11 PM with legs that won't stop twitching is its own kind of torture. If you've tried stretching, hot baths, and cutting caffeine but your legs still feel like they're running a marathon while the rest of you begs for sleep, this is everything I added to my nighttime routine that finally shut it down. Took me over a year of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.
OMG! When you have braces it can really suck if you don’t have the right products. This list is for adults and children who have braces and want to keep their teeth in check through their treatment! (FSA/HSA APPROVED PRODUCTS)
Lying awake at 2AM doing mental math on how many hours of sleep you'd get ‘if you fell asleep right now’ — yeah, that was my nightly ritual for years. If you're a light sleeper, an overthinker, or someone whose neighbor apparently practices drums at midnight, this is the lineup that actually knocked me out. Took me way too many returns and wasted nights to narrow it down, so steal my research.
I have been using a GLP-1 medication for around 6 months now. I use a lot of specific products to help me with the side effects, to boost my weight-loss results, to prevent elasticity loss and more! There's no gatekeeping here! If you're on a weight-loss journey and/or are on a GLP-1 medication, I definitely recommend these products!!

I've dealt with Raynaud's Syndrome (a.k.a. Raynaud's Disease or Raynaud's Phenomenon) since I was in my 20's, although I didn't know what it was until I turned 30 and had my first child and started having flares while nursing. It's a painful circulation disorder, and while there isn't a cure, I've found several tools and strategies that help keep it mostly at bay. Note: This list contains affiliate and cash back links.
Sick kid at 2 AM, fumbling with a thermometer that takes 30 seconds while they squirm and cry. Or worse, you get an error reading and have to start over. After three flu seasons and way too many unreliable thermometers tossed in a drawer, I tested dozens and kept only the ones that actually work fast and accurately. If you have little kids, elderly parents, or you just hate being sick and guessing, scroll through before the next cold season hits.
As an occupational therapist, I work with a lot of people who have vision impairments. Here is a list of some of the low tech to high tech vision aids that can help people with low vision like macular degeneration, glaucoma, or other vision impairments.
Here are my migraine essentials—trusty products I rely on to stay adult and fend off migraines, plus the ones I reach for when the pain becomes just too much!
I live in Florida, and I always say the bugs down here are on steroids. In the summer bug spray is an absolute must. It is hard to even walk outside without getting bit. As always, I like to keep it as natural as possible, but I prefer to have bug spray over bites! These are sprays I've used that actually work and just in case bites do happen, I added my bite relief recommendations.

I played a range of sports growing up and pushed myself so hard. Now 37, a mom and busy life, i dont have time for gyms and my own activities outside of the house. These are products I use for my health and to keep an eye on it. I suffer from leaky gut, food and indoor/outdoor allergies that even effect my hair and skin. So there is so much I cant use and/or do now and Ive been finding what works for me in the long run for my changing lifestyle. Remember to always check with your dr/professional medical person before any ingesting of products suggested.

Everything here reduces light sensitivity, eye strain, and overstimulation while still looking professional in a clinical setting. Realistic, practical, and actually worth having at your desk.

I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 20 yrs old. It was a hard pill to swallow when I went 20 yrs care free on what I was eating. I was so embarrassed and it put me in such a dark hole. When you go 20 yrs not looking at a nutrition label and all of a sudden your having to calculate carbs/sugar to insulin, it's not easy... but not impossible. 3 yrs later I'm finally more confident in it. I love to show of my dexcom because although you may not need it, i do...and honestly it's pretty cool. I love to find different accessories and such to make it fun. Putting accessories on things like medical stuff makes everything a lot easier. I start to look forward to site changes of my dexcom just cuz I get to pick the next patch imma use. So here are some things I've used so far.
