Recommendations (Products)

Sometimes you don’t want to figure it out yourself; you just want to know from someone else what works — what’s already tried-and-tested.  Here you’ll find some of my favorite products and resources.*

Whenever possible, I order most of my own healthy products (that I don’t purchase locally) through Amazon or Vitacost, because it’s both cost-effective and efficient.  I also use Grove Collaborative as a convenient, cost-effective source for certain household products.  A few much-loved products I have to buy from individual site owners.  (New to Vitacost?  Use this referral link to get $5 off your first order.)

For ease of browsing, I’ve tried to categorize some of my favorite non-consumable and frequently-purchased products below.  If you’re just looking for frequently-ordered consumables, click over to the next page to find my “shopping lists” for Amazon, Vitacost, and Grove.  These are all products I use in my own home.  (Pictured products link to Amazon unless otherwise noted.)
