I use this as my face moisturizer morning and night and my skin has never been clearer. No makeup, no filter! [AMAZON]
Organic Castor Oil, Glass Bottle 16oz
I get this Frankincense EO from a local provider, so if you have any one local that makes these I would suggest shopping local! Otherwise I'm sure there are some items Available on Amazon as well :) But I fill a roller ball tube with Organic Castor Oil, then put 5 drops of Frankincense oil in the roller bottle and top it off with more Castor if needed. Then I specifically use this around my eyes as an eye cream and not only does it smell amazing, my eyes have never looked better. I'm literally tired all the time from having a family farm outside of my full time job, and no longer have raccoon eyes!
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) Essential Oil, Organic
These are the roller ball bottles that I use with mostly castor oil and 5 drops of Frankincense Essential oil for my every day eye cream 👌🏻

If I need a midday moisturizer, I typically apply this Coconut oil so that I can reap the benefits of both Coconut as well as Castor, but also only trying to use Castor morning, night and with my eye cream.
Great Value Organic Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil, 14 fl oz
Yes, this is our very own Goat Milk Soap that I use daily [Lincoln, NE]! We use it for our hands before/after chores, we use it in our shower, and we use it anywhere in between. Goat Milk Soap is full of vitamins and minerals, and this stuff works better than GOJO when your hands are REALLY dirty working on the farm. Do your skin a favor and find some local goat milk soap from a farmer or maker in your area!!

I absolutely love this HASK Tea Tree Oil and Rosemary shampoo. My hair is fine but I have a lot of it so it's hard to keep it feeling clean, but this product has been a game changer. [AMAZON]
HASK Tea Tree Oil & Rosemary Shampoo + Cond.
My family has a history of periodontal disease so we get plaque buildup it feels like the day after a teeth cleaning. Currently, I use this Hello toothpaste for whitening and the Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil for fighting plaque buildup as well. I used to use one in the morning and one at night, but now I just put a small dot of each on my toothbrush each time. [AMAZON]
Hello Antiplaque Fluoride Free Toothpaste
Currently, I use this and the Hello toothpaste for whitening, just putting a small dot of each on my toothbrush every time I brush. [AMAZON]
Desert Essence Tea Tree & Neem Toothpaste
Some may call me crunchy, but I do also use castor oil for oil pulling. Rather than 10-20 minutes with coconut oil, you only need to do it for 2 minutes with Castor. [AMAZON]

Probably the only splurge on my list, but I absolutely LOVE the smell of Daisy. this is the only perfume that I use (although not all the time) when going out.
Daisy Eau de Toilette Pen Spray - Marc Jacobs | Ulta Beauty
I don't need to use primer as much these days, but when you're looking for that extra smoothness in your skin for a special occasion, this primer will do the trick!
e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer | Ulta Beauty
I've used an epilator for going on 10 years now and I can't recommend these enough, especially if you struggle with dark hairs like me (thanks, genes 🙄). I've used it on my legs & face but personally DO NOT recommend trying on your armpits (super ouch!!)
Silk-épil 3 Epilator - Braun | Ulta Beauty
Can't go wrong with the boar bristles if you're prone to oily hair!
Men's Shine Enhancer - Wet Brush | Ulta Beauty
I'm not lying when I say that my face gets super oily/sweaty especially in the heat and humidity of Nebraska, so these are a life saver when the face is getting a little bit swampy 🤣
Premium Facial Oil Blotting Paper, 200 Ct
Self Care
Just some of my favorite things that put an extra pep in my step throughout the day!
I personally vouch for the 20oz stainless steel tumbler with slider lid (a must have!) but I've also accumulated a rambler in black and turquoise, as well as a tumbler in black and orange. But the stainless is my jam (even tho it gets quite chilly in the winter!)
Rambler® 20 oz Tumbler
I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but this new Almond Rose color is 👌🏻 and it's just a matter of time before my next amazon order brings it to me! This is on deck to replace my current 22oz stainless for water intake because 40oz means less refills!
Stanley Quencher H2.O FlowState Tumbler
I love these so much, we literally named some twin goats after them! (Star and Crunch lol)
