A roundup of my favorite non-toxic home essentials—safe, effective swaps that make clean living feel effortless. From laundry to dishes to everyday surfaces (and even kid-friendly must-haves), these are the products I actually use and trust.

These are the little things that make a big difference in how we feel, look, and show up every day—me and my kids. Small swaps, daily habits, and products that support our health from the inside out.

These are our go-to packaged snacks that aren’t loaded with dyes, seed oils, or ultra-processed junk. I look for options made with real ingredients that won’t spike blood sugar or trigger behavior meltdowns. Simple, delicious, and kid-approved!

I’ve lost over 45 lbs and still going, and these are the products, habits, and little game-changers that have truly helped me along the way. From tools that made staying on track easier to things that kept me feeling good, motivated, and supported—these are my tried-and-true favorites that made a real difference in my journey.

These are the products that have truly helped me grow stronger, thicker, and shinier hair. I’ve focused on scalp health first—because healthy hair starts at the root—and these picks have made such a difference. With consistent use, I’ve seen less shedding, more growth, and way more shine. If you’re trying to improve your hair health, this routine is what worked best for me.

These are the products I reach for daily—hydrating, calming, nourishing and seriously effective.

These are the products I actually use and love—tried, tested, and worth it. After lots of trial and error, these are the ones I keep coming back to for an effortless, natural look that lasts.
