Here you can find a running list of favorite items I have found along my journey to leave a more positive footprint. While many of these links take you to Amazon to purchase, I encourage you to look local first if you are able! I have found many of these items in Des Moines, Iowa and would be happy to point you in the right direction if you are close!
Some items are directly from a local Iowa Business even if purchased off Amazon. I have highlighted these items below. Enjoy
In the Kitchen
Bacon Sponge – Instead of paper towels to soak up grease! *Local Iowa Business
Another type of Beeswax Wrap
Baking Mat – Great substitution for parchment paper!
Spiralizer – GUYS this is probably one of my FAVORITE kitchen gadgets I own! Makes eating healthy fun!
Books/Cookbooks
Sarah Alder of Simply Real Health’s cookbooks have been a game changer when trying to cook healthy meals. The recipes are easy and SO SO good. Her first cookbook (here) is by far my favorite, but her second book (here) is phenomenal, too!
On the Go
Steel Straw – *Local Iowa Business
Bamboo Silverware – great for those summer picnics!
Reusable Produce Bag – ditch those plastic ones at the grocery store
Stainless Steel Water Bottle – love the size of this one
For the Kids
*When purchasing items through some of these links you are supporting another small Iowa business, my own. I will receive a small amount of commission from each item purchased. Thank you so much for helping me continue to help others live a more positive life!
