What is the best kids vitamin that is not a gummy and no added sugar?
The best non gummy and no sugar added kids multi on the market IMO is Hiya
My cousin is having her first baby. What are your favorite baby PJ brands? Are the magnet ones still a favorite for moms?
I LOVE Little Sleepies and Kyte baby. I get them for both the girls. I also love the Kyte Baby crib sheets– so soft!
I just visited a naturopathic doctor and got my blood drawn as well as the saliva test. My results indicated that I have low cortisol levels, low progesterone, as well as low vitamin D. Any diet tips for helping support the various herbs and vitamins the doctor recommended?
You ND should be giving you recommendations based on your labs for dietary interventions or referring you to a Registered Dietitian, but here is my input on what you’ve told me. Always check with MD or ND as well.
Dietary sources of D can be tough to get in adequate amounts, so supplementation and sunlight are usually the best options and will do the trick to bring those levels up. However, oily fish, including salmon, mackerel, and sardines, egg yolks, red meat, and liver are good dietary sources. Also Vitamin D is added to some foods too, including breakfast cereals, and plant milks which will say it’s adde don the label.
For your cortisol make sure you’re getting in enough magnesium. I’m sure they put you on a supplement which is ideal, but here are the dietary sources to add in as well. Dietary sources of magnesium include spinach and other dark leafy veggies, seeds, nuts, fruit like bananas, beans, whole grains, etc. Increasing D intake will also help with cortisol. Adequate electrolyte balance is also essential for maintaining healthy cortisol levels. Talk to them about adding in an electrolyte supplement like LMNT.
All of the above foods recommendation will also help with the progesterone levels as well ;). So glad you’re working with an ND and getting this all looked at!
Can you link the long Nike boyfriend t shirt you had on the other day for running errands?
It’s a great everyday “throw on” type top that pairs well with just about anything!
Heather – what’s on your birthday list?
The only thing I want and am getting is a full 24 hours away with my girlfriends to see Taylor Swift 🙂
Do you prefer the Land’s End or LL Bean large cavas tote?
I like them both! The LL Bean is a little more “upscale” but that could be because I got all cream with cursive black writing so it makes it just look a little more refined. But I wish it had a front pocket or inside pockets to shove stuff in and keep organized. I have the x-large Land’s End for myself and mediums for all of my boys and it has inside and outside pockets so that one is definitely more practical. I like the zip top on both options though! That’s a must.
What are the big white and black check pillows on your couch? How big are they?
Here you go.. they always sell out. They are MASSIVE. My couch is very big so three of these pillows really fill it out. You could also put two on your bed as (very large) accent pillows.
What is the portable charger you both have?
This one here.. saves our ass daily. It has three different types of chargers since everything varies these days!
I’m headed to see Taylor Swift in LA in a couple of weeks and thought you mentioned you were going. Any mom outfit ideas?
We are literally wearing jean shorts, white tanks, and our custom TAYLOR sweatshirts (we got red) for when the sun goes down.. with comfy white sneakers. Alix and I are treating the concert like a sporting event since we’ll be on our feet the whole time dancing! Lol. So our advice is just to be comfy and cute! Heels are just a bad idea in our opinion 😉 A jean skirt with sneaks and a merch top/sweatshirt would also be so cute.
xx, Alix & Heather
