Beeswax Candles  

One of my biggest pet peeves is scented candles at a dinner table. Unlike scented candles, which can overwhelm the senses and clash with the delicious smells of a meal, unscented candles add warmth and elegance to the dining experience without distracting from the flavors and scents of the food. Unscented candles are the perfect choice for dinner tables, as they provide the ambiance and soft glow of candlelight without competing with the aroma of food. My favorite 100% beeswax candle is from Alternative Imagination. They are slow burning and I love the honeycomb design. 

two.

Protein Powder Made Tolerable

To say I think protein powders taste like sh*t is an understatement. I prefer to eat protein in my meals, however since strength training regularly to help my back, I've been on a search for a protein powder I can tolerate. KOS chocolate flavor isn't terrible and it's Erythritol free which is important to me considering the recent research linking it to strokes. The ingredient list and taste doesn't make me want to gag.

three.

Genexa

We can't take ibuprofen in our household and rely on acetaminophen for headaches, fevers, etc. I didn't know it was possible to get acetaminophen without dyes and fillers until we stumbled across this brand. If you're in the same boat and need a dye/filler free option, Genexa is great.

Dandelion Chocolate Bars

No words for these chocolate bars. Just get them. Hands down the best chocolate bars ever. 

five.

Weekly Meal Planner

This planner saves me so much time and money every week. It takes the stress out of dinner time and organizes my grocery lists by grocery aisle for convenient, stress-free shopping. It also includes one year worth of weekly meal plan lists. 

six.

The House of Eve

This book was both a moving and beautiful book and I'm sad I finished it. "The House of Eve" by Sadeqa Johnson is a novel about the lives of three generations of women in a family, who live in a historic home in Richmond, Virginia. The story explores themes of race, identity, and family relationships, as the women grapple with their own desires and struggles in the midst of a changing society.

Angels Envy Bourbon

For the bourbon enthusiast. Angel's Envy is highly regarded for its smooth and complex flavor profile. It is aged in port wine barrels, which imparts a unique sweetness and depth to the bourbon's traditional taste. This is a premium and luxurious drinking experience that is definitely worth trying.
