I’ve started a new monthly feature over on my YouTube Channel: My monthly favorites! 

I come across so many fun things throughout the month (and love sharing resources) so I decided to start a monthly favorites video. Here’s my five favorites for June 2017!

You can watch the full video here, and then make sure to come over and subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss any new videos!

They are five random favorites but I can’t wait to share them with you. 

1) Garden of Life Meal Replacement

We’ve tried both the chocolate and vanilla and the vanilla is definitely our favorite! Jason likes the chocolate as a nice change sometimes but I think the vanilla has a much better flavor. 

It took a little getting used to at first, but now I’m hooked and usually have about one smoothie per day (usually for lunch). This smoothie mix not only has protein, but also an enzyme blend, a prebiotic blend, a probiotic blend, and more. Check out these ingredients –  AMAZING!!

Where to buy:

• You can buy it on Amazon
• Or on Vitacost (if you’ve never done an order on Vitacost before, create an account through my referral link and get $5 off your first order!!)
• The very best place: Zulily.com. Zulily is one of those websites that does weekly deals. They don’t have Garden of Life products very often, but when they do offer them, they are often the best prices. I am signed up to be notified by email when GOL is listed in the store. 

2) Glass Pioneer Woman Mason Jar

Speaking of smoothies, our absolute favorite way to drink our smoothies is with our $6 Pioneer Woman Mason Jars. They are all glass and even come with a lid and straw – for under $6! 

If you purchase them in-store at your local Walmart, you can purchase them one at a time, or buy a four pack online. I got mine in store but loved them so much we ended up with four of them anyway. 

3) Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant

I have long been on a search for a natural deodorant that works!! I’ve never found one that I like well enough to recommend, until now! I am very happy with the ingredients in Schmidt’s natural deodorant and it seems to work really really well. I’ve been using it for about 2 months now and I love it. 

I’ve tried the Rose & Vanilla and the Ylang Ylang & Calendula and have loved both. It comes in a regular deodorant stick or a jar. 

Where to buy:

• You can buy on Amazon
• Directly from Schmidt’s – They have a travel pack that comes with mini versions of five of the scents. I wish I had started with this so I could try all the scents! 
• They also have them on Vitacost
• I actually discovered this brand from Grove Co, one of my favorite places to shop online. As a new customer, you can sign up here and get a FREE Mrs. Meyers hand soap AND a $10 store credit to snag a new deodorant (or anything else you want). 

4) Auromere Herbal Toothpaste

We’ve tried close to a dozen natural toothpastes before. And while we’ve found some that we like, the Auromere brand has been our favorite so far! Our favorite flavor is Fresh mint but they have several different ones you can try. 

I like it because it’s all natural ingredients, includes an herbal blend, and none of the junk in most toothpastes….plus it has a great taste! 

Where to buy:

• You can buy on Amazon (not the cheapest)
• We buy it on Vitacost – Right now it’s on sale for just $3.89!

5) NOW BetterStevia flavors

We’ve used stevia for years to sweeten our morning coffee. But I was searching for a stevia based coffee creamer of some sorts for a nice difference and came across these liquid flavored stevias. I ordered one to try and we’ve been hooked ever since! They have a bunch of flavors. We own: Hazelnut, English toffee, dark chocolate, pomegranate blueberry, and cinnamon vanilla. 

Where to buy:

• You can buy on Amazon
• We get ours on Vitacost
