The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle: Get The Best For Your Family



Don’t you wish you had affordable short-cuts to make healthy living easier? Are you tired of trying to make a Whole Foods lifestyle work on a Trader Joe’s budget?
I get it. You want the best for your family. You want to raise healthy kids, have strong immune systems, be more fit and energetic, and be intentional about creating a natural home, but sometimes it just feels so hard.
There’s a lot to learn and the internet can be more than a little overwhelming at times.
I know what it’s like to feel that healthy living shouldn’t be this difficult, and it shouldn’t have to cost so much, either! Don’t you ever wish someone would just tell you exactly what you need to know and how to make these changes for less?
When you have the right info and tools at your fingertips, it all comes together so much more easily. You know what to cook for your family. You’re more confident in choosing natural alternatives. You can easily replace store-bought products with DIY options that really work. You feel better (and even look better, too). Healthy living becomes less stressful and more enjoyable.
That’s why Stephanie and her team have put together the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle for the fourth year in a row. Each year, they’re amazed at how many families are saying “yes!” to their health and taking them up on this super short opportunity to get a complete collection of natural-living resources for a crazy low price.
You sort of need to see it to believe it, but the package includes over 90 digital products on topics like natural remedies, essential oils, real food recipes, paleo & allergy-friendly eating, fitness & weight loss and much more. All together, it’s worth over $1900!
Plus, it comes with $225 worth of bonus products including:
  • ePantry – FREE hand soap + $8 credit on one shipment, FREE dish soap + $8 credit on the next shipment, AND 60-day VIP access with FREE shipping ($30 value)
  • Plant Therapy – Lemon, lavender and peppermint essential oil set ($22.92 value)
  • NaturOli – FREE travel essentials facial set: deep conditioning facial wash (1 oz.), new radiance facial creme (1 oz.), exfoliating walnut scrub (1 oz.) ($16.95 value)
  • Bloom Naturals – FREE SPOT treatment for acne & eczema OR a $15 gift certificate toward Bloom Naturals products ($15 value)
  • Lexie Naturals –  FREE natural care gift set: lip balm (.15 oz.), lotion tube (1 oz.) and trial-size deodorant (.35 oz.) ($15 value)
  • Perfect Supplements – $15 gift certificate toward any Perfect Brand product ($15 value)
  • Strawesome – $15 gift certificate toward the straws and accessories of your choice ($15 value)
  • TriLight Health – FREE 2-oz liquid herbal formula or $15 off larger bottles ($15 value)
  • Craftsy – 1 FREE online class ($44.99 value)
  • Once a Month Meals – $32 toward OAMM membership + a free mini menu ($35 value)
Besides being so incredibly helpful and inspiring, one of the things I like best about the bundle is the price. By offering the bundle for a short time only, they’re able to give you access to over $2000 worth of amazing products for a whopping 97% off!
Here’s how it works:
  1. Visit their website, take a quick look at all the goodness that comes in this package, then click “Get my copy now!” to go through their simple 3-step checkout process.
  2. You’ll receive an email with a login to their online access portal, where you’ll begin downloading your eBooks, signing up for your eCourses, and redeeming your free bonus products.
  3. Use their Getting Started Interactive Guides to pick the area you want to tackle first and start making healthy changes!
The most important detail, though, is that this bundle is available for just 6 days! After Monday night, September 14th, the sale ends and you’d have to buy all of these products individually.
I’d hate for you to miss out, so click HERE to learn more or buy the bundle.
It’s even backed by a full 30-day guarantee, so you can know for sure that it’s right for you.
No one should have to put off a healthier lifestyle because it costs too much or they can’t get the help they need. Our family has felt so much better by making changes to the way we eat, the products we use, and how we take care of ourselves. It’s made all the difference in the world and I want the same for you and your family.

Bon Appetit Cookware ~~European Culinary Specialties #Review



To visit the Bon Appe'tit Cookware store online store is not only a delight but a lesson is fine cooking. With tools that are meant for the casual cook who wants to increase their skills, the professional serious cook or maybe the person who just wants a beautiful kitchen with high end "display" items that will make any kitchen shine. I recently bought myself some higher end cookware and spent the money for quality, I will agree ... you sure do get what you pay for, cheap is cheap for a reason. My new cookware is so pretty, easy to cook with and easy to clean. Not to mention much safer for my family, my old cheap cookware was coming apart and leaving flecks of metal in my food, yuck. I will spend the extra to buy better quality now.

Today I have a treat for you, a fabulous recipe to enjoy from the Bon Appetit Kitchens and a 15% off discount code to order online in the store!!

  

Curry Chicken with Shirataki Noodles


Fast, easy, and full of flavor, this dish does not disappoint!  And, shirataki noodles have no gluten, no carbs, no fat, no calories!  Or you can substitute any noodle you choose.

Ingredients:

1    pound shirataki noodles (or 1/4 pound of your favorite dry noodle)
2    chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, diced
1    quart chicken broth
2    carrots, julienned
2    garlic cloves, minced
1    tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
1/2    tablespoon curry powder
pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
chopped cilantro
3    green onion, sliced

What you'll need:

Here's how:

1.    Drain shirataki noodles in a strainer in the sink and rinse thoroughly with cold running water.  Set aside to drain.
2.    Add all ingredients except cilantro and green onion to pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3.    Squeeze noodles in strainer to drain additional liquid.  Add to pot and simmer an additional 5 minutes to heat noodles.  (If using a dry noodle, add it now and cook according to the package instructions)
4.    Place into bowls using tongs, ladle a small amount of the broth over, and garnish with cilantro and green onion.

VARIATION:  You can add a can of coconut milk when preparing the broth to give it a little creamier texture, but we found it didn't really add much.....except cost.
