CanPrev D3 & K2 Drops

I can’t live without Vitamin D, especially during the winter. The sunshine vitamin gets an extra boost from vitamin K in this formula. Both these vitamins will support bone health and will help the body to absorb and hold onto calcium – a mineral so critical for bone strength.  This liquid formula is flavoured with a splash of aromatic orange making it a pleasure to take this bone-strengthening supplement.  There are 450 drops in every bottle. Four drops a day are recommended, but I take more – check with your doctor. Available at Well.ca

Pure Hazelwood

I suffer from eczema and while I also make my own body butter, I also wear Pure Hazelwood as it is rich in anti-inflammatory molecules and can help relieve symptoms related to inflammation, including: teething pain, colic, arthritis (joint pain), skin problems (psoriasis, eczema), digestive disorders (heartburn) and mouth sores.

Pure Hazelwood products are made of 100% natural hazelwood from the Canadian Boreal forest. The line has something for everyone – baby and adult necklaces and bracelets.

göt2b dry shampoo

Winter can wreak havoc on your hair – static, dry. Don’t wash your hair every day – I leave mine to wash every few days in fact. For those days in between, refresh your locks with göt2b® Rockin’ It® Dry Shampoo. Spray and work it into roots and brush out thoroughly for volumized, day-two (or day-three) hair.

Eat Nākd bars

Winter is the time when it’s easy to get into the dangerous routine of gorging on chips, chocolate and rich high-calorie comfort food. I’m trying to stay on track by eating healthy and indulging in healthy treats. Eat Nākd bars are a great way to eat nutritious, healthy food without compromising on taste!  The snack bars are made from yummy natural ingredients such as fruits and nuts which are ‘smooshed’ together into a handy bar.

Bars are made with natural, wholesome ingredients with no hidden extras such as syrups or chemically bits. Berry Delight, Cocoa Delight, Cashew Cookie and Cocoa Orange have natural ingredients like dates, cashews, raisins, orange, and cocoa, raspberries.

You can indulge in these knowing there are no hidden extras such as sugars or additives. Pure guilt-free goodness. They are gluten, wheat and dairy free, and some bars are also soy free too! Available at various grocery stores including Sobeys.
