Gooood morning lovelies. Happy Sunday. Hope you all are having a beautiful slow Sunday mornin. I am currently sipping on a spicy bone broth tonic.
It is a new year, and I am introducing a new segment….
Small Business Sunday
I wanted to bring this in as a way to support our wonderful small businesses. Something that I really tried to work on last year (& continuing into this year) is consciously consuming. That means before I buy something, putting time into confirming that the brand I am buying from is transparent about their sourcing and the quality of what they are putting out there. As consumers, we vote with our dollar.
There are so many companies out there who spend all of their money on marketing to CONVINCE you that their product is great, instead of spending that money actually taking time to source out the most quality product. It is a facade. There is also a huge issue with companies building their branding on transparency, just to sell out to a big company that ends up negating everything they claimed to gain loyalty in the first place.
So on the first Sunday of each month, I want to highlight three wonderful businesses that prioritize transparency + traceability + quality.
A lot of these come from responses submitted from you all! So please continue to submit ones that are special to you so I can share! Also going to try my best to reach out to each of these companies to get discounts to share with you all in case you want to try them out!!
HoneyBee Hippie has gorgeous handcrafted nourishing skin and body care. Jill, the owner, is a mom, beekeeper, lover of natural living and prioritizes sourcing out the best organic, natural, grass-fed and pasture raised ingredients- free from chemicals, pesticides and unnecessary processing.
You all know how much I love tallow & honey for skincare, it has truly been the two best products I have ever incorporated in my routine! Healing my skin from inside out. I recommend starting with the “clear” cream, but she has everything from non-toxic sunscreen, detox baths, hydrating honey masks, tooth powder, nipple cream and more. Hydrating honey mask is the best thing ever. + switching to a non toxic sunscreen is a non-negotiable for me!
If you are looking to try anything, she kindly provided the code “glowwithella” for a discount on your order!
My beautiful and highly knowledgeable friend Claudia started this business as a way to provide pure “mother nature’s medicine”. She uses the highest quality 100% organic and wildcrafted herbs. She prioritizes connecting us to regenerative farmers and ethical wild harvesters.
She makes teas and wonderful herbal blends. I am a tea fanatic, and her tea is the best tea I have ever had. I mean, you literally SEE the difference. You can tell she does not skimp on the quality whatsoever. She makes pure and potent blends that work.
My favorite tea is the Clear Skin and I also love the True Be-Liver both to support lymphatic flow, kidney filtration and a clean liver. Each and every one of her products are top tier!

Real bone broth is thiccccc. Highly gelatinous and full of nutrients. Unfortunately a lot of the store bought bone broth does not provide the wonderful amazing benefits of bone broth because it is more stock then broth.
Enter Fond Bone Broth. Fond Bone Broth specifically was the first animal product I ever incorporated after not eating meat for years. I believe it played a large role in helping to get my health back on track. Years later, it is a staple in my routine.
I love Fond because they prioritize regenerative farming methods, use high quality organic ingredients, and raise animals as nature intended. They are a loving family owned business started by a mother who used bone broth to help heal her post-partum symptoms. + they are bottled in glass jars. And their bone broth tastes DELICIOUS. My favorite is the Turmeric + Black Pepper, Fennel + Bay Leaf, Herb Chicken, Lemon + Garlic, and Unflavored Beef. But you really can’t go wrong with any of them.
If you want to try Fond at a discount, use code “GLOW20” at checkout!
Also on this beautiful Sunday to get you prepared for a solid week ahead I have your grocery list + a bunch of yummy winter seasonal meal ideas to go along with it! + a special new seasonal recipe that I think you will LOVE.
