The Only 3 Supplements I Take

June 19, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

the only 3 supplements i take

Living down in southeast Texas in the dead of summer in a house with window units means constantly battling the harsh contrast of humidity that smothers you like a wet blanket with the dry blast of icy cold air blowing from a big white box directly into your face. It’s the perfect combination… if you like constantly having your allergies/sinuses flare up at a time of the year when you should be focused on swimming and eating ice cream and putting on sunblock ☀️ 🕶

Luckily, I’ve come up with a pretty decent attack plan on my part that includes all homeopathic, vegan remedies that help me cycle through any flare ups pretty quickly. Aside from these special remedies, I make sure that I bulk up on the daily supplements that I’m already taking. I’ve seen some pretty positive side effects from these three magic pills that I can find at my local grocery store and I’m super pumped 👊

I personally believe that you should try to get all of your vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat. So I look at these supplements as little “extras” that help keep me in check and boost my immune system year round. You might be surprised what made the list! Read on!

Cheesy Veggie Tofu Scramble

I don’t know how you feel about breakfast, but for me, it’s verrrry important. Not only am I ravenous when I wake up in the morning, but I definitely notice a difference if I don’t eat anything. I’ll get light headed, have trouble focusing, hunger pains, headaches, procrastinate, and can be extremely agitated and grumpy. None of that is worth skipping breakfast!

That’s what I love about this recipe, other than the fact that it tastes super yummy, is that it’s full of nutrients to keep me going the rest of the day… or at least until lunchtime 🙂

How to Pack for a Cruelty-Free Trip

April 17, 2015 by Jillian Leave a Comment

When I decided to go spend several months in China, I knew that I needed to have a plan for packing. In Beijing, you can buy just about anything – anything except all natural, cruelty-free beauty products. With the research I did prior, I was aware that I wouldn’t be able to find most of the health & beauty brands that I normally use. There were certain things I wanted to stock up on in America and bring with me. I planned on being in China for several months, but even if you’re taking a short trip somewhere, consider bringing these items with you.

Boost Your Immunity

My worst nightmare was getting sick from the long, arduous journey to China. I didn’t know what to expect when I got there and I didn’t want to be in a foreign country feeling crappy and helpless. So I decided to do some research and figure out what to bring along to ensure my immune system was kicking butt.

probiotics

First things first, I knew without a doubt that I needed to bring a bottle of high quality probiotics with me. I had already been taking a daily probiotic at home to improve my digestion and overall health. I learned that if you don’t have a healthy gut, you are leaving your entire body vulnerable to disease and sickness. So not only would the probiotics optimize my immune system, but they would also help my stomach adjust to the fact that the water and food in China are fairly low quality. I decided to go with Nutrition Now’s PB8 Vegetarian Formula. I liked the fact that it was vegan and free of gluten and soy. Plus, it contains a high amount of good bacteria – 14 Billion. And with 120 capsules, I could make one bottle last me for a while in China. I had a feeling it would be tough to find probiotics over there (and it was). I think this one bottle ended up lasting me 2 or 3 months.
