I only recommend products I know, love, and trust.
What We Use to Eat Better
We use this egg spatula almost every morning. We flip over-easy eggs, omelets, or we just scramble our scrambles. We use it for other dishes too.
We love grilling, but we like it even more now that we discovered grill mats. Less drips into the grill (which means fewer fire flare-ups) and easy clean-up!
We use this food processor to make cheese, almond butter, and various other recipes. It’s powerful and easy to clean up!
We watched this movie Forks Over Knives. It was very compelling and made us think of food differently. We try to limit our meat intake but we are not vegan.
This movie is very inspiring. It talks about eating plant-based food for fuel. It shows that you can perform without animal protein.
Try using Quest liquid protein in your morning coffee for a little added flavor instead of sugary creamers. Vanilla and Salted Caramel are our favorites!
What We Use to Sleep Better
Sunrise Alarm Clock
This alarm clock wakes us up slowly by getting lighter prior to your alarm time. Then the back up noise goes off. Such a great tool for waking gradually.
Memory Foam Pillow
Get a great night’s sleep with this memory foam pillow. It is so soft and feels great on your neck. We both have one because we fought over the only one we did have!
What We Use to Move Better
Since starting CrossFit I’ve been using Reebok shoes and highly recommend them. I also love their sports bras and my husband loves their workout shorts.
We believe Rogue has great quality products. Many of the CrossFit gyms we go to use them as well as people who have created gyms at home.
If you are creating a gym at home, these gym mats work really well. They are soft but firm. They can slide so try to have them against a wall.
Since I started CrossFit I have used these grips. I think they are great and affordable. I do use my wrist straps under them to prevent rubbing on my wrists.
Stretching is very important. Romwod is like yoga for CrossFitters. It helps with mobility and stretching. We try to Romwod every day after our workouts.
Resistance bands are great for at-home workouts. It will give you just a little resistance to your movements which will improve your strength.
What We Use to Live Better
A friend recommended this book. It was a great read. It goes through various diseases and gives suggestions on foods to eat to help prevent them.
The Ripple Effect is probably our favorite book. We took a lot of notes from this book and try to incorporate them into our daily lives.
I have been using Tula beauty products for about two years. I really like it. It’s made with probiotics and more natural ingredients.
This is a great easy read. This book opened my eyes to how to give and receive love. It can help strengthen your relationship or foster a new one.
Use this product to take the frizz out hair and to add more curls. Every head of hair is different but I really like this product and it lasts forever.
What We Use to Travel Better
My husband bought me this backpack and I love it! Pockets everywhere and lots of room for computer, iPad, notebooks and even clothes.
Apple Airpods are really great! They fit well, sound great, and no cords. It took me too long to get them but now that I have them, I really like them!
I love Spirit. If you can pack lightly, don’t mind sitting in any seat, and go to the airport to get your ticket, this is the most economical way to go!
