These handy devices are the easiest method of getting essential oils into your blood stream as the diffuser will disperse the molecules into the air in a fine mist so that you can breathe in the various aromas. Depending on which oils you choose, essential oils can help you relax, boost your immune system, help you sleep, elevate your mood, reduce congestion, reduce headache pain, help you focus, and even repel insects (along with a myriad of other benefits). amazon.ca and amazon.com
These handy bottles keep your liquids cold for 24 hours or hot for up to 12 hours and are a healthy choice over plastic bottles that can leach BPAs and carcinogens into your drinking water. Most can be safely washed in your dishwasher to remove germs that accumulate due to repeated usage and the steel will not rust (added bonus). Customize a bottle for added fun! zazzle.ca
Eliminate the need for cooking sprays, oils and parchment paper for a healthier option with these reusable, flexible sheets that won’t absorb smells or flavors from the foods you cook on them. Turn any baking sheet into a non-stick surface. Most silicone sheets can withstand temperatures well over 400°F (200°C) and all are easily cleaned with soap and water. FYI — never use your baking mat without a pan or sheet under it. Baking mats should be cured before using. Instructions can be found here: winedale.com.
These trending glasses are actual recycled wine bottles and come in various colors such as amber, green and clear. You can also personalize them. It’s a great anniversary or a housewarming gift. refreshglass.com, webstaurantstore.com and amazon.ca and amazon.com
The hot trend in health circles today is making your own fermented foods. Kombucha is a fermented tea that’s been around for over 2,000 years and has its origins in China in 221 BC. Called the “Elixir of Life” it is typically served cold and used medicinally to boost immunity and regulate the balance of good bacteria in your gut. Today this probiotic beverage can be found in most grocery and health stores but many people are easily brewing it at home. Find out how: ifoodreal.com, Starter Kit amazon.com
The powder elixir of Japanese culture called Matcha is thought to be the most powerful super food on the market today. Just one bowl of this green tea contains 5 times as many antioxidants as any other food and is said to enhance calm, boosts memory and concentration, and increases endurance. Gift a ceremony set to a friend who can enjoy an ancient tradition and needs to de-stress. Organic Japanese Matcha amazon.ca and amazon.com
