Needed Prenatal Vitamins Review + Discount Code

May 1, 2025

When women become pregnant, one of the first questions that comes to mind is what prenatals to take. With so many options these days, it can become overwhelming. We all want the best nutrition and support for our growing babies. This is why I vetted different prenatal vitamin brands to try and find the best option. This is the brand I would reach for when pregnant. They also carry many vitamins and supplements for Women at all stages of fertility. They offer high quality vitamins and supplements for Women’s pre-pregnancy and fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. For the purpose of this review, I will stick to their prenatal vitamins and how they exceed other options on the market. But I do plan to touch on some of their other products briefly as well. Enjoy reading through this comprehensive review and scroll to the bottom for an exclusive Needed Prenatal discount code.

Bliss Energetics Tooth Puddy Review: Does it work? (+ coupon code)

December 4, 2024

Dental care is one of those things we all hate to deal with. I cross my fingers each time we drive up to the dentist office with my children hoping for no cavities. We have been pretty lucky with the last few years. However, that wasn’t always the case for us. My kids dealt with proneness to cavities for years. I couldn’t figure it out and dug into the research on preventing cavities. There are a number of things that have changed the trajectory of my children’s dental health journey. But there is one product in particular that helped us through some sticky situations when it came to tooth decay. Bliss energetics tooth puddy has been one of the only products that I have ever seen reverse a cavity on its own. I have seen it with my own eyes and have the receipts. So, I figured I would share my experience and the details behind this incredible product. Here is my full Bliss energetics tooth puddy review.

How to Stop Recurring Strep Infections

November 4, 2024

As a child, I dealt with recurring strep infections. It’s what lead me to having to surgically remove my tonsils and adenoids at the age of 10. I know all too well the frustration of having strep return over and over again. But it was even more stressful when it started happening to my own children. We had a 6 month period where strep infections were returning each month. Strep can be dangerous and can negatively impact the brain and the body. This is why I searched high and low to figure out WHY it was happening to us and HOW to stop recurring strep infections from happening. I stumbled upon some research and a solution that has completely helped us stop recurring strep infections in our home. The relief I have had as a Mother is palpable. I wanted to share my findings and experience incase others are going through the same cycle as we were.

Organic First Aid Kit for on the Go (What’s in my Purse)

August 1, 2020

Over the years, I have managed to find some of the best quality on the go first aid items to keep in my purse. When you’re out and about with Children its quite often you might find yourself in need of an item for a bruise or a cut. If you don’t have it, then there’s the inconvenient rush to the nearest pharmacy to purchase an option you wouldn’t necessarily opt for. I don’t like being in a pinch when it comes to this scenario and I’m not always going to be near a health food store that can supply me with the options I have vetted over the years, so I have created a little pouch of natural health supports for every scenario I could think of. I continue to add as I go but being over 5 years into Motherhood, I’ve pretty much nailed down most of the necessities. These options aren’t just for kids, you can carry these around for yourself and to have on hand to offer to others if they are in need.

Safe and Natural Nail Polish for Children (15-Free & Made with Fruits and Veggies)

June 16, 2020

My Daughter has been asking me to paint her nails for atleast a year now. She’s five and sees her friends come to school with rainbow coloured nails adorned with tiny little stickers of unicorns and hearts stuck on them. It’s something I enjoyed as a little girl, having my Mom paint my nails for me.. so it hurts a bit when I’m the Mom who says “No”. I’d love more than anything to share that bonding time with her, she’s naturally as girly as they come and her little face sinking when I don’t allow nail polish strikes the level of Mom guilt to a 10.

My Holistic Birth Plan + Postpartum Care Plan

January 20, 2020

Labour and Delivery, as well as Postnatal care, is very raw, intimate, and personal. There are many options when it comes to the nitty gritty of child bearing and I took it upon myself to really research my options before having my Children. I am sharing some details of my birth plan, as well as my post natal plan, with some research to back my own personal choices. It is VERY important that you research for yourself and make your own informed choices with your own health care provider. These are decisions I made under the care of my own Midwives and they were made based on the level of health experienced by myself and my babies in utero. Always consult with your health care provider when making health decisions for you and your family. This post is intended to showcase the many options available to Women during this time of life and to empower you to look into them for yourself.

My choices were based on a holistic view of health care and were chosen after very careful research. Everyone’s bodies and circumstances are different. I also write this from the perspective of living in Canada according to the medical options and processes available to us here. Some of these options may not apply to everyone and their area, or may require private funding, etc.

Childbearing and Motherhood in general come with so many different options and discussing these options can sometimes feel polarizing. It is important that we do so without judgement towards each other. This post is simply an account of my own choices and research but in no way reflects my opinion of others’ choices or circumstances. Your body, your birth, and your choices for your children are YOURS and yours alone. I wrote this to provide a starting place for research and bring awareness to a variety of options, and did so under a holistic lens. This blog is written intentionally for those who choose to adopt a more holistic approach to Birth. My options are not everyone’s options and my hope is that this post comes off as respectful and to be used as a tool to further your own research. After having two children naturally, here is my Birth and Postpartum plan.

How to Heal Bumps + Bruises naturally with Vanilla Extract

December 5, 2019

A bruise (or contusion- a hematoma of tissue) is a discolouration of the skin caused by damage or trauma which generally follows a fall or accident. Bruises are most commonly caused by broken capillaries/localized bleeding below the skins surface. Bruises that are visible due to discolouration are generally just below the skins surface. Though some bruises do result lower and aren’t visible, they are less common. Once a bruise is formed, your body will begin healing and resolve the wound via the immune system. But there are non-invasive and natural ways to help speed and support this recovery.
