What I'm Loving Right Now {Fall Favorites}

As we prepare to shift into a new season and bring summer (in the northern hemisphere)

to a close, I thought I would share my top autumn must haves! I got such great feedback, as well as the small businesses I featured in my summer edition (found here): https://www.thewellnesswandererblog.com/post/what-i-m-loving-right-now-summer-edition

I decided to do it again.

Here's what I'm loving this fall~

Natural Remedies

I met the creator of Homeland Holistic at a wellness event earlier this year, and right away I knew Mary and I shared the belief in the body's innate ability to heal. While discussing her military background, struggles as a mom, past health afflictions, and knowledge of holistic healing modalities, I fell in love with Mary and her brand.

She offers a variety of natural remedies ranging from uplifting and revitalizing elderberry tea to eczema and burn healing balm. Homeland Holistic's products are created to affirm natural healing and all are low ingredient, organic, natural, and locally sourced. A MUST have going into the fall & winter season is the Elderberry Syrup Kit to naturally boost immune function, preventing illness and lessening symptom severity and duration of many common infections.

Important and Inspirational Convo

As an avid podcast listener, I have a hand full of shows that always spark my interest. Almost 30 Podcast is an innovative and uplifting listen, continuously evolving in content they share within the health & wellness, personal development, and spirituality space. They have some of the most creative, inspiring, and thought provoking guests and conversations out there.

Episode 451 with Dr. Zach Bush is one of them.

This was my first encounter with Dr. Bush and his mission and WOW is this man aligned and knowledgeable. He takes a deep dive into the physical and philosophical and offers truly incredible anecdotes and actionable insights to healing our bodies, minds, and the planet.

If you are at all interested in the pursuit of health as a human and as a planet, you will absolutely love this episode. Click the link below to listen on Spotify (or available on any music streaming service):

A Whole Latte Love

With the temperatures dropping, one of my favorite ways to warm up (body & soul) is a hot cup of coffee, and Recharge Coffee Bar has got you! I found this small, locally owned coffee shop in Manteno, IL where I work and frequent for my mid-morning pick me up. They offer a wide variety of hot and cold coffees and teas, along with sugar free options and dairy alternatives. Plus, they've recently opened new locations to greater serve the Kankakee area!

I was so happy to find a friendly space where I could support another local entrepreneur and enjoy one of my favorite ways to treat myself (a hug in a mug).

I'm a Bee-liever

One of the most powerful ways you can impact your health is by becoming more aware of the things you are putting in, on, and around your body. When I first began researching the negative health implications that artificial fragrances, dyes, and other chemical additives in the products we use daily, I was more than disheartened. However, in my hours spent learning about these toxic compounds, I have discovered some companies that are changing the game for the better.

Generation Bee is a locally owned skin care company that features the use of their own honey, pollen, and wax in all of their products...the founder Michael even collects it himself!

They offer so many luxurious products, designed with most any skin concern in mind.

I personally love their non-toxic, beeswax candles scented with essential oils, bee pollen and herb bath salts, and all natural hydrating lip balm. Shop their amazing line and do your part in saving these essential workers (the bees!): https://generation-bee.com/

Grow, Prosper, Flourish...

Thrive , my 30 day plan to cultivate a life of personal well-being, is getting some RAVE reviews! I'm getting messages from many people who are seeing results in all areas of their health and overall well-being. Weight loss, decreased blood pressure, improved sleep quality, better cognitive function, and more energy are just a few of the reports I've received from those who have followed the Thrive plan.

Within the 30 day plan, I help you discover and implement ways to improve your mental and physical health, promote creativity, positivity, and self love, along with ways to reduce stress, increase stamina, and have you feeling empowered to continue on your journey! I know we are meant for more than to merely survive this life...we were born to thrive. This ideology, along with my own personal challenges and successes, brought this program to life. I wanted to create a way to streamline and simplify some of the most effective ways to make progress on your wellness journey, using a combination of personal growth practices, nourishing recipes, effective workouts, stress reduction techniques and more. Although I know we are all individual and have different needs, lifestyles, and goals, I also understand the difficulty of feeling overwhelmed, under informed, and alone when deciding to make positive changes.

But now is your time. Your time to take the next step, to feel better, and to up-level your life.

Be on the lookout, I will be announcing another round of the Thrive in 30 Challenge soon!

I am excited to bring a sense of community to the plan and a place where we can openly ask questions, make discoveries, and share personal victories with one another.

If you have purchased the Thrive plan already, you will be able to participate in the FREE

30 day challenge (where I will be sharing daily inspiration & important information and tools).
