With so many companies our there, it's hard to know who to trust. Over the years, I have tried my best to seek out transparent companies that I feel good about using--and good about recommending to you.
Here are some of my favorites. I hope you like them as much as we do!

ESSENTIAL OILS
Rocky Mountain Oils
I used to think that essential oils were "hocus pocus", but I later found out that they are powerful natural means to support health. After working with some of the large Direct Sales essential oils companies, I felt I needed to change - to get more answers and lower prices.
Hours and hours (and hours) of research later, I chose Rocky Mountain Oils as my essential oils retailer of choice.
BEAUTY & PERSONAL CARE
I'm not a "one company fits all" type of gal. Instead, I love trying products from different lines to find what works best and is safe.
Each of these companies has something great to offer.
Read the descriptions below each company to see what I use and love from each.
Beautycounter
Looking for a company with transparency and ethics that performs? This is it! Beautycounter's mission is to get safe personal care products into the hands of every one. Every one of their products is rated on EWG's Skin Deep site. But besides just being safe, these products perform -- and they perform well.
I love their Lengthening Mascara (it's practically waterproof!) Sea Salt Spray (holds great and adds volume without drying), their Charcoal Bar (the natural acne bar that really performs), Cleansing Balm (deeply nourishes my skin), Tint Skin (my favorite foundation), Eye Pencils, and more.
Neal's Yard Remedies / NYR Organic
NYR Organic has amazing skincare that is my absolute favorite of all time and they have incredibly high ethical standards. They also have loads of personal care products, supplements, superfoods, and more (including aromatherapy, salves and their award-winning Wild Rose Beauty Balm) for the whole family.
My favorites are their skincare, mascara (light and very natural), perfume, body care, fabulous books (love the Natural Beauty Book and the Essential Oils Book), essential oils (all grown sustainably), and..... Find out more about why I love them here.
Lilla Rose
Go from bed head to pretty in a flash.
I ignored Lilla Rose forever, thinking they were too frilly, but once I tried them I LOVED them. They're super cute, don't rip out your hair like many clips and they are super sturdy.

HEALTHY HOME
Kettle and Fire Bone Broth
Making your own bone broth is of course the most budget-friendly way to go. But when you're short on time, having some quality bone broth already made is a HUGE help. Kettle and Fire is my favorite brand. Delicious, made from grass-fed beef bones, and shelf-stable!
Pure Effect Water Filters
Water filtration is one of the most important things you can do for your health. We started filtering our water years ago, but only had one of those faucet-mount systems and those do not filter out fluoride, which is not something I want myself or my family to be drinking.
Over the years we've had a carbon block filter, a Reverse Osmosis, and a gravity filter, but now this is our water filter of choice. We have an under the counter version and love it. Click here to learn more.
NUTRITION & MORE
Thrive Market
Thrive Market is a great place to find healthy foods and natural personal and home care products -- for less. It's kind of like a online buying club -- without the bulk buying.
Berkey Water Filter
As I say all the time, filtering your water is perhaps the most important thing you can do for your health. Our bodies are made up of a high percentage of water, and we should be drinking a lot of it every day. There are so many contaminants in our water - lead, chlorine, fluoride...even personal care products! This Berkey Dealer has the best deal around for superior filters that clean even seriously dirty water - and they are currently my choice for portable water filtration.
Ceramcor
I love this line of cookware! They are totally non toxic, and Recently I needed a non metal pot to make a special tea, and this was the perfect thing! Plus they are pretty too.
Corganic
Corganic simply has AMAZING products. From their super gut healing Gut Pro probiotic (that happens to be a Low- Histamine Probiotic) to the ONLY Cod Liver Oil I will use, to great Magnesium Supplements (Good Night Maggie!) you can trust this company.
Everything is natural, no nasty fillers, and no nonsense. Potent and Pure. Shop Corganic here.

Some of my favorite products are the Biome Medic. In pre-clinical trials, it was shown to remove glyphosate (RoundUp) from the gut, reduce CRP and rebuild the gut. This gives me more energy. They also have a pure and affordable CBD oil mentioned in my post on our CBD experience.
I also LOVE their Apothecherry for better sleep, their Rice Bran Solubles (helps increase "Skinny Hormone" and manage blood sugar levels), and their shakes. Their Chill Spray is great for stressful moments. Go here to get your discount.
Miessence
With our depleted soil, and toxic environments, we are not getting what we need in order to be healthy.
Miessence's Superfoods give your body superior nutrition so you can be your healthiest. Read more about their probiotic superfood here.
They also have a super clean dish soap and a fantastic Probiotic Cleaning Concentrate, and clean toothpaste.
HOSTING
Flywheel Hosting
When my blog got bigger, I need more services, but still wanted to save as much money as possible.
Flywheel fit the bill. They have great service too - their Emergency Service has always responded to my calls for HELP! and they've been helpful and courteous each and every time.
