LIFESTYLE
If you follow me on Instagram, chances are you’ve seen me rave about these items on my stories!
COZY and cute, this is perfect for keeping you warm on those winter walks! I could easily live in this!
My fave fanny pack! Sporty but fashionable, and fits all the necessities for running errands. A travel staple of mine!
One of the best jackets ever! Keeps you warm but is also super flattering and cute, too! Perfect for cold adventures, winter jogs, and more. I even did a 20-mile hike in this and it was PERFECT.
CleanCandleTherapy Candles + Pillow Spray — Discount: MADDIE10
Candles are SO cozy, but most of them aren’t good for us! These ones are made with clean ingredients, and also smell AMAZING. The sleep spray is addicting, I spray SO much on my pillow every night and even bring it with me on vacation — you’ll look forward to your head hitting the pillow every night!
Similar to candles, perfume is often made with endocrine-disrupting ingredients (synthetic fragrances and other junk, they’ll mess with your hormones). My fave clean perfume brand is Pacifica, definitely give it a try!
This is seriously my everyday uniform in the warmer months. I guarantee this will become your signature look too when you feel how comfortable it is!! I have 6 colors and wore every single day this summer…. not exaggerating lol. I size up to a medium for this Halara dress, the small is a bit too snug.
LOVE this one too, comes in fun colors and designs and has a slightly different look than the Halara one. But I love both pretty equally. Perfect for travel days, walks around the neighborhood, or lounging around the house. I wear my normal size in Abercrombie (if anything, size down 1 size)
Clean Makeup Products
I’ve been using mineral fusion make-up products for years. This bronzer duo is one of my favorites! I also love their blush and moisture lip tint and wear it everyday!
Acure Ultra-Hydrating Green Juice Cleanser
I used to use INTENSE face washes that would strip my face of it’s natural oils, dry it out and then actually make it more oily in the long run. This face wash is affordable, gentle, and effective. I love it and use it every day!
TreeActiv — Discount code: MADDHEALTHY10
TreeActiv products have TRANSFORMED my skin. My night-time routine = wash face with Acure face wash, spray with 100% rose water, and then apply TreeActiv retinol cream + TreeActiv Stem Cell Aloe & Oil-Free Advanced Skin Repair Serum. I also LOVE the invisible acne spot treatment, and when I used to struggle with cystic acne, the cystic acne clay spot treatment was life saving.
Tula Face Filter Probiotic Primer
These products are all cleaner versions of our everyday makeup products! They will enhance your natural beauty without having your skin soak up poor ingredients! I LOVE the face filter primer, it feels & looks amazing. I wear it every day under my make-up, or alone.
Branch Basics Non Toxic Household Cleaners
Hands down my favorite NON-TOXIC products to clean around the house with!
We all know how seriously I take my sleep, and you should too! My husband and I LOVE our weighted blanket. Helps you fall asleep AND keep you asleep! <3 Also very good for anxiety.
WELLNESS-Y GADGETS
Pricier but worth the $$$ in my opinion!!
Sauna Blanket — Discount: MADDHEALTHY15
THIS is by far my favorite purchase of 2021! My husband and I use it every single week and it’s life-changing. Saunas are expensive and going to a sauna place is inconvenient …and even more expensive! This is an amazing gift, trust me! Also, get the Sauna Blanket Insert if you can! Makes it so easy.
Continuous Glucose Monitor — Discount: MaddHealthy
One aspect of health I talk A LOT about on my Instagram and in my recipes is blood-sugar balance. Continuous glucose monitors are an amazing tool for learning about your body’s response to different foods, and really help you learn more about keeping your glucose levels steady! I have a blog post about CGM’s here… this is my favorite! It will help you level up your health & change your life for the better!
Adidas Ultraboosts
Hands down my FAVORITE shoes! I like the ultraboost ‘21’s and ‘19’s the most (not ‘20’s). I seriously put miles and miles on these, and never once have my feet gotten tired in them! Can’t recommend them enough.
A crucial part of my everyday morning routine: 10 minutes of rebounding on my mini trampoline! Small enough to store inside, and good for our lymphatic systems — I look forward to bouncing on this to fun music in the mornings!!
This is CRUCIAL during the dark, SAD months! Such a good gift for friends/family/loved ones — has sunrise simulation and a nightlight! More on Seasonal Affective Disorder, here.
A recent addition to my morning routine, shining this light on myself first thing!! Helps me during the fall/winter months in Seattle when the sun decides not to shine!
FOOD/TREATS
It wouldn’t be a Maddhealthy Holiday Gift Guide without a food & treats category! :)
JoJo’s Chocolate — Discount: MADDHEALTHY10
One of the cleanest/most delish chocolate brands you’ll find. Such a great gift or stocking stuffer!
BeeKeepers Naturals — Discount: MADDHEALTHY
Obsessed with this brand for immune-boosting supplements. Making healthy living FUN & delicious.
BeWellByKelly Protein Powder (my fave!) — Discount: MADDIE10
I can’t recommend this enough! Made of minimal, simple, CLEAN ingredients and it tastes SO good.
AMAZING coffee alternative. We’re a little obsessed here.
Thrive Market Membership (30% Off!!)
I SWEAR by my thrive market membership! It makes my busy weeks SO much easier, and allows me to continue prioritizing healthy, whole foods without having to go to a grocery store. I have Thrive Market hauls saved on my IG highlights…. soooo many amazing products. Couldn’t survive without Thrive :)
Seriously, love every one of their products! One of my favorite/most trusted brands with CLEAN/whole-food ingredients. No industrial seed oils or crappy fillers, here. 10/10 recommend giving them a shot if you haven’t already.
IQ Bars (PB Chocolate = the best!) — Discount: MADDHEALTHY
My go-to bars when I’m running out the door or not in the mood to put forth effort into a healthy snack! My clients LOVE these. Pb&chocolate and AB&chocolate are my faves. It’s hard to find healthy/blood-sugar balancing bars and these are IT!
SO SO GOOD! The perfect amount of sweetness with clean ingredients.
WORK FROM HOME
Gift ideas to help those of us working from home stay happy + healthy!
I use this thing EVERY day! Helps with my posture and keeps my workspace neat and tidy.
Portable Laptop Holder For Traveling
This makes working on a plane SO much easier. Even watching shows on your laptop. Get it, trust me! So easy & folds up very small to fit in your backpack. Such a great and affordable purchase!
PERFECT for those work from home (or in the office!) zoom meetings. Gives you that glow!
I have some guidelines when it comes to my workday — calls are done standing up, and computer work is done sitting down, making this desk critical to my office space and workdays!
Like I said earlier, sometimes the sun decides not to shine here in Seattle, making it a bit more difficult to get my steps in outdoors. This smaller indoor treadmill is PERFECT when the weather’s not great and I still want to get my movement in!
KITCHEN
Let’s be honest, I’m almost an expert when it comes to the necessary kitchen gadgets!! ;) Here are a few of my STAPLES!
White Electric/Temperature Controlled Kettle
My favorite pretty kettle that we use 5X or more every single day. Pricey, but it’s aesthetically pleasing on our counter and we use is so often, it’s 100% worth it.
I use this every single day, 10/10 recommend to all my coffee/hot cocoa/froth lovers out there. The PERFECT froth! :) I promise.
Life-saving for making ALL the delicious & healthy soups + so many easy & delicious recipes. Saves SO much time. A staple in our kitchen.
If you don’t have an air fryer…. you need one! :)
HOLIDAY HEALTH SUPPORT
The holidays are a time of family, giving, and joy, but not the time to let your health sit on the back burner!
A lot of people like digestive enzymes, but I prefer digestive bitters. These are SO, so helpful for bloating and overall digestion.
My favorite supplement to pop at the end of a night of indul
Customize blend of herbs for your cycle!
Beekeepers Naturals Products (Bee Propolis especially!) — Discount: MaddHealthy
Some of my favorite immune supporting and overall health-promoting products. Nature’s antibiotic + so much more.
Many of my favorite high-quality supplements saved here in my dispensary w/ a discount!
MindBodyGreen Immune+ — Discount: MADDHEALTHY
Amazing Immune supplement that pretty much all of us should be taking in 2021 and beyond!
