Help your loved ones create a spa-like experience at home with a filtered showerhead. These devices reduce chlorine and other impurities in the water, resulting in healthier hair and skin.

In the morning, I turn on my red light and sit on the grounding mat. If I could turn my apartment floor into a grounding mat - I would. It replicates the benefits of walking barefoot on earth in the comfort of your home. It’s too cold for me to go outside barefoot in PA winters, so the grounding mat is the next best thing! Try it here - discount code LIVHOLISTIC10
The cork yoga mat I use is made with natural tree rubber and is naturally antimicrobial. It’s soft, cushiony, and very cute - most importantly nontoxic. This is the perfect gift for your yoga and fitness enthusiast bestie. Shop here and use code LIVHOLISTIC for a discount.

When I first started working with my nutritionist, I had to list out all supplements I take and she was genuinely impressed with the quality ingredients and the extra calcium in Night Minerals. Try it for yourself here!
Are we ever too old for gummy vitamins? I don’t think so. Llama Naturals is a real fruit gummy vitamin brand, made with all the good and they left out the gross ingredients. They have Kids and Adults Vitamin D, multivitamin, elderberry, and pre/probiotics. And they taste SO GOOD, I have to stop myself from eating the whole jar. Try themhere! (discount code: LIVHOLISTIC)

Nontoxic cleaning is essential when swapping over products, this is a gift that is so functional and necessary. Almost like that joke “you know you’re getting old when you get excited over a vacuum cleaner” ? … It’s kind of along the same vibe, but I would 100% be excited if someone gifted me nontoxic cleaning supplies. Shop Branch Basics here with a discount (code LIVHOLISTIC)
I carry one water bottle with me everywhere I go, literally. If I leave my house without it, I will turn the car around to go back for it. I love it because it keeps me hydrated all day (it’s 40 oz) and it alkaline the water. It’s from Dyln and I even had it customized to say “Liv Holistic” on the side! Shop here with a discount (code LIVHOLISTIC)
When I first moved into my apartment I couldn’t drink the water, it tasted like a swimming pool. Thankfully my parents house is only 5 minutes away so I’d always go over with empty jugs and leave with their good tasting well water. But that was a bit of a hassle, so I researched the best (and affordable) water filters and came across Santevia. They filter out 99% of unwanted contaminants and then remineralize the water and raise the pH up to 2 points. It brings tap water back to spring water. Now, I’m happily partnered with the company and their biggest fan - shop water filters here and use discount code LIVHOLISTIC.
