2023 Holiday Gift Guide

It’s the time of the year that I get to share about some of my favorite things: things I’ve loved, things I’ve used, old things, new things, brands I’ve been using for a long time, new brands I’ve discovered and things that I’m putting on MY list. It also gives me a chance to educate you health topics like gluten, light, EMFs and the benefits of castor oil. I hope you get some great ideas and learn something along the way! If you’d like the full scoop on all of these wonderful gift ideas, listen to the podcast I did here.

Let the gifting begin! 🎁


#1. Grain Mill

First up, and undoubtedly at the top of my list, is a grain mill. After the incredible response to my podcasts with Sue Becker, I know many of you are just as enthusiastic about milling your own organic wheat.

If you're ready to embark on this journey, here's how to begin:

  • Purchase a Grain Mill: The one I use takes only 30 seconds to grind wheat! It's a breeze. You can get the Wondermill Grain Mill on Amazon here. BUT, it’s on sale with free shipping on Sue’s Becker’s website here

  • Amazon List: You can find my full list of bread-related items HERE.

  • Order Wheat: These are two options: here or here. Brace yourself, it is kind of pricey but is more economical in the long run. And SO MUCH BETTER for your body.

I am so passionate about this process and the health benefits it brings. It’s not just about the act of milling and baking; it’s about nurturing your body, the holy temple, with something truly temple-worthy. If you've been eyeing a grain mill, I hope this Christmas brings you that joy, whether as a self-gift or from someone special. Happy milling, and may your home be filled with the wholesome aroma of freshly baked bread!

Here's Sue Becker’s recipe for homemade bread:

  • 1.5 cup hot water

  • ⅓ c extra-virgin olive oil

  • ⅓ c honey

  • 1 egg

  • 1 T lecithin (OR 2 egg yolks)

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 4-4.5 cups flour (mill 3 cups of grain to get 4.5 cups flour)
    1 T yeast

    I use a bread machine to make mine. Just add the ingredients to your bread machine, starting with the liquids, set it and, voila, you have fresh, steaming bread in 3 hours!

#2. The Essential Home Ground Flour Cookbook

Following closely behind is Sue Becker's "The Essential Home Ground Flour Cookbook." Ideal for those who find bread-making daunting or for anyone looking to expand their home baking repertoire to include muffins, pancakes, and more. This cookbook is a wealth of knowledge, covering everything from the history of home-milled flour to the health benefits and the use of different grains. Get your copy here and dive deep into the world of home milling.

#3. Rowe Casa Organics

At number three, we have Rowe Casa Organics, a Texas-based company offering a range of wellness products made with organic ingredients. From magnesium body butter and deodorant to elderberry syrup and hormone-balancing essential oils, there's something for everyone. And don't miss out on their non-toxic beeswax candles—I've got my eye on the Christmas Cheer candle! Discover their products here.

 #4. Beautycounter Favorites

For eight years, Beautycounter has been my go-to for skincare and makeup. Their Dew Skin tinted moisturizer was my "gateway" product, and it's become a daily staple for me.

#5. Viva Rays Clip’n’Go 3-in-1

Viva Rays stands out in the crowded blue light blocking glasses market. Unlike standard options from Amazon or Walmart, Viva Rays provides lenses that effectively block a significant portion of the blue and green light spectrum, crucial for protecting our hormonal balance.

The importance of light management is rooted in the way God created our body to utilize natural light. Today's artificial light disrupts important physiology, but with technology like Viva Rays, we can minimize the harmful effects and maintain our natural circadian rhythm and hormonal pattern.

Prescription Compatibility: For those with vision prescriptions, Viva Rays offers the option to integrate corrective lenses with their yellow base layer, ensuring you don’t miss out on the benefits.

Alternatives and Accessories

While Viva Rays is a preferred choice, other reputable brands like Bon Charge also provide quality alternatives, including amber clip-ons for standard glasses.

#6. EMF Radiation Free Airtube Earphones

Viva Rays offers EMF Radiation Free Airtube Earphones, an essential for those looking to reduce radiation exposure from popular wireless devices like AirPods. Understanding that our bodies function with natural electrical signals, it's crucial to limit the impact of non-native EMFs that can disrupt cellular processes and lead to issues like brain inflammation.

A Practical Strategy for Family Health

Consider setting up a health-centric hub in your home, where blue light blocking glasses and airtube earphones are readily available, promoting a safer tech environment for you and your visitors.

#7. Grounding Shoes

Grounding shoes are another simple yet effective tool to enhance your well-being by harnessing the earth’s natural healing electrons. These are not your typical footwear; to gain benefits, you need to walk on conductive surfaces such as soil, grass, or concrete.

With options ranging from sneakers to ballet flats, grounding footwear like Harmony 783 and Earthrunners make integrating earthing into your daily routine effortless, even in the colder months.

The Christian Health Club’s 30 Hard New Year challenge includes daily earthing. Arm yourself with a pair of winter-appropriate grounding shoes to make the most out of your outdoor activities.

#8. Books

Mother and Son: Respect Effect

For those navigating the challenges of motherhood 🙋🏼‍♀️, "Mother and Son: Respect Effect" offers insights grounded in Scripture and years of pastoral wisdom. This book guides mothers to communicate with love and respect, fostering stronger relationships with their sons and husbands alike. This came at the perfect time for me as I talk about in the Healthy Holiday Gifts podcast. This came at the perfect time for me as I talk about in the podcast.
