For our family, making the transition to all natural and organic wasn't always smooth. I don't know about your kids, but at times ours were pretty picky about certain foods. They've since acquired a taste for the many things that they once griped and complained about.
I wanted to keep this series simple and practical; especially for those like me who can get overwhelmed at starting a big change. At the time of when I was a stay at home mom I didn't own a computer and would have to borrow my husband's laptop whenever he brought it home from work. I practically had to force myself to learn how to use the computer because of all health resources that were becoming available online. This was a little over eight years ago, so if you are reading this post, you are already ahead of me. Most women and moms I know today own a laptop!
1. Prescription for Nutritional Healing
by James F. Balch, MD and Phyllis A. Balch, CNC., was my Health Bible when I first began my health journey. 
It’s now it it’s 5th edition, but when I discovered this amazing resource, it was the third edition. Prescription for Nutritional Healing is a practical guide to drug-free remedies using vitamins, minerals, herbs and food supplements.
2. Jason Bath products for kids:
*No Lauryl/Laureth Sulfates
*Concentrated and Moisturizing
*Never Dries your skin
*Natural Ingredients
Using some big name brands consisted of unhealthy chemicals; hence, I found Jason Natural bath and body products for my kids when they were young and it’s still a favorite. Jason Natural Shower Wash in Apricot is one of our favorites.
3. Derma E Skin Care Products:
Healthy skin is beautiful. Derma E's skin care line is a natural and organic therapeutic skin and hair care formulation that is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and botanicals. Derma E is Paraben-free, phthalate-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free.
4. Stonyfield Farms Organic Yogurt: Stonyfileds Farms even makes yogurt for babies. Yokids yogurt is an alternative to a lot of the famous brands, but does not contain:
*No icky gelatin
*No phony colors
*No use of toxic pesticides, antibiotics and hormones
*No artificial anything
5. GTS Kombucha Synergy Tea: An alternative to soda, lattes, Kombucha’s health benefits has been a favorite weekly drink. Kombucha story is amazing and can found on the website.
My kids are very limited on when they can have soda. It’s usually on very rare occasions, but a couple of my kids love Kombucha. Here are just a few benefits, all of which are good enough reasons for me to drink Kombucha! GTS Kombucha supports…
*Digestion
*Metabolism
*Immune System
*Appetite Control
*Liver Function
*Body Alkalinity
*Anti-Aging
*Cell Integrity
*Healthy Skin & Hair
6. Laura’s Lean Beef fully cooked dinners: This is for a “mom on the run” and some nights you just have to throw something in quick and know that you are still feeding your family a healthy meal. These meals are delicious and all you need is a simple side dish! You can find Laura’s Lean Beef at Super Target and other super markets. Check their website for a listing of stores in your area. Below are our favorites:
*Beef Pot Roast Au Jus
*Shredded Beef with Barbecue Sauce (great for quick sandwiches, like healthy Sloppy Joe's)
*Meatloaf with Tomato Sauce
7. Seventh Generation Household Products:
Non-toxic & biodegradable
*Hypo-allergenic
*Does not create harsh fumes
*Not tested on animals
*Kosher-certified
8. Jack La Lanne Juicer
: If you read my post on Day 16, I shared the benefits of juicing. Jack La Lanne Juicer is one of favorite things to use that helps me to stay healthy! Nothing like drinking your greens and adding some great fruit and colorful vegetables to the bitterness. It makes greens go down quite smooth and tasty too!
9. Whirley Pop (Popcorn Maker)
Healthy alternative to microwave popcorn. 
I am not a big fan of the microwave and use it very sparingly. A friend gave us the Whirly Pop as a gift, and we love it. Whirley Pop makes good old homemade popcorn that's healthy!
10. The Scottsdale Princess Resort: Rest and Relaxation is one of the secrets to living healthier and happier.
There is nothing wrong with getting away and enjoying a little 'ME TIME" with a girlfriend or spouse. The Scottsdale Princess Resort (Scottsdale, Arizona) is one of the nicest place to sneak away to.
Please feel free to check out the links that interest you for more details about the products that I've shared. Thank you for following me on this journey to living healthier and happier!

Great post Duong! It's so important to keep the chemicals & toxins out of our homes and our bodies. Some people are a little hesitant to make such bold changes, but to that I say, make small changes a little at a time and you'll see BIG results!
Thanks for keepin' it real darlin'! =-)

These are all great suggestions. I am going to try a few of these. I looked at the resort in AZ,, it looks beautiful. I am not going to even think about how much one night cost there.
