In my pursuit to live a healther, ethical...better life, I've tried lots of products. Some have been awesome, and some have been terrible. I've rounded up some of my favorites, to suggest gifts that are a little bit off the beaten path.

Better Than Before By Gretchen Rubin

If you took a peak back into this blog, you'll find that I'm not so great at creating new habits. Reading Better Than Before has given me lots of tips fro developing new habits that worked. I was actually even able to discover why I'm not so great at creating the habits. This book is great for anyone, but especially someone that is in pursuit of a few goals, and needs a little extra "oomf"

Probiotic Deodorant

If you have a friend that's a tidbit "crunchy," get them this deodorant...I promise it's not that offensive. I've been on a pursuit for a natural deodorant, because I don't want to put aluminum on my pitties. I have sensitive skin and have found that natural deodorants either don't work or my irritate my skin. This probiotic deodorant is the best natural deodorant that I've found. After a few weeks, it did end up irritating my skin a little, and Tara made me a special batch without baking soda. So, whether it's for yourself or someone else. It's a great buy.

Mat & Kitchen Subscription

My friends over at Prettyography put me in touch with Tandy over at Mat & Kitchen, and we've been collaborating ever since. With a Mat & Kitchen subscription your giftee, will get new workouts every 3 days, and access to 300+ recipes made by Tandy herself. This option is great if you have someone that is crazy busy, and wants a quick and easy way to get healtheir at home.

Manduka Yoga Mat

When the time came to upgrade out of my $10 "I'm just trying yoga out" mat, I asked my yoga teacher for recommendations, and she suggested Manduka. I took her advice, and I'm glad I did. It's awesome quality, I no longer slip around like I did on my $10 "I'm just trying yoga out" mat, and its a cute color. If you have a yogi on your gift list, that is ready to upgrade to a new mat for the New Year (did I just say New Year? Time flies.) I pass my teachers Manduka recommendation along.

Handmade Ethically Sourced Jewelry, by Me :-)

And of course my jewelry makes an awesome gift, too.

So there you have it Holiday Gifts...for not your average giftee. Or if you want to call it what it really is, new things I tried this year and really liked. So try it yourself, or get it for someone on your list. Whatever works for you.
