Tis the season for GIFT WRAP! I've been doing it often for the past month between Hanukkah gifts for 8 nights for 3 kids (!!!) not to mention my parents and other relatives and friends, along with my son's 2nd birthday and now Christmas/Holiday Gifts for teachers and helpers in our lives. Lately, I feel like all I do is wrap something! For years, I have often reused gift bags in good … [Read more...]
Health & Wellness Gift Guide 2020 (with discounts!)
It's been a stressful and trying year… for EVERYONE. Every year I put together a holiday gift guide that is focused on health & wellness. This year is no different, with the exception that I feel it's even MORE needed. Not one child needs another crappy plastic toy that will harm mother earth. And adults don't need useless tchatchkes either. They need things to restore their health, … [Read more...]
COVID-19 Immunity boosts & Quarantine Hacks
I know, I know. I said I was on maternity leave, and technically I still am, BUT I also wasn't expecting a pandemic!

Top Tricks and Treats for a Fun Halloween
As a health coach & mom, I'm not a fan of giving kids bags full of candy (I'm sure you can imagine)! So I wanted to share a bunch of other things we do with the girls to make this holiday super fun. Halloween is often centered around candy and sweet treats, but it doesn't have to be! And even if your kids (or you) partake in that aspect, that's ok too. But there is still lots more fun to … [Read more...]

5 New Thanksgiving Ideas
A friend and colleague recently asked about alternative ideas for celebrating Thanksgiving, focusing still on gratitude. I LOVED this question because it brought to my awareness something I had been doing unconsciously with my family.

DIY All Purpose Cleaning Spray
I've had a few friends on Facebook share an article recently (Cleaning products as bad for lungs as smoking 20 cigarettes a day) about a new study linking long-term exposure to household cleaning products with reduced lung function. This is a new study done over the course of years, but as a holistic health & wellness coach, I've been well aware of these harmful and negative effects! I also … [Read more...]
