Erika’s Favorite Things

THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. AS AN AMAZON ASSOCIATE, I EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES.

Here is a list of some of my favorite things, including supplements, and brands that I use for myself and my family.

Household Things:

This Multi-Purpose Cleaner is my FAVORITE cleaner. It’s an all-natural essential oil concentrate cleaner and it works extremely well. I love that it’s only $16 for a big bottle of concentrate and it lasts for MONTHS in my household!

 

Supplements:

Om Organic Mushroom Supplements

Each morning, I mix one scoop from each of these three OM organic mushroom powders.

Om Organic Mushroom Supplement Immune

I rarely get sick since I started taking this immune support every day.

You can get it from Amazon here: Immune mushroom supplement

 

Om Organic Mushroom Supplement Energy

I have more energy throughout the day, particularly in the afternoon when my energy used to dip a bit. I believe the Om Mushroom Energy powder has helped me in this area. I have noticed that if I do forget to take it in the morning, I “drag” more in the afternoon. The difference is definitely quite noticeable for me.

You can buy it from Amazon here: Energy mushroom supplement

Om Organic Mushroom Supplement Restore

My nails no longer break and grow so quickly since I started taking Restore. Seriously, I used to have the most awful nails. I bit them and they were always ragged and breaking. Now my nails are strong and long; the only change I made was to begin taking Restore every day last summer.

You can buy it from Amazon here: Restore Mushroom supplement

 

Tip: I have heard that mushrooms are most effective if activated by warm/hot (not boiling) water. I have not researched to confirm this theory, however, I always mix one scoop of each of the three above mushroom powders in a glass of warm water and sip it throughout the morning. It works well for me.

Note: some people may find the taste of these powders gross. I personally love them (the energy OM mushroom powder has a tiny bit of stevia and tastes yummy to me, plus it masks the taste of the other 2 bland powders.) If you buy one or more of these powders and dislike the taste of it in water alone, you can mix it in your favorite smoothie. Here is one of my favorite smoothie recipes: Coconut Mango Creamsicle Smoothie

Host Defense Mushrooms Comprehensive Immune Support

These capsules are on the expensive side and for that reason, I don’t take them on a regular basis. Instead, I save this for any time I feel like I may be fighting off something – ie the beginnings of a scratchy throat, sneezing, etc. and take 2 right away. This has worked brilliantly. I also give this to my husband and kids (my youngest is now 8) and it has helped them get over the couple bugs they’ve caught from school quite quickly. For example: my 12-year-old was home sick with a fever one day. I gave her one capsule in the morning and one at night. She was fever-free within a few hours of taking the first dose and felt 100% normal the next day.
