The Health, Home, & Happiness Medicine Cabinet {peek inside!}

Come take a look inside my medicine cabinet

 

Are you curious what’s in my medicine cabinet? Here are my commonly used items (I have a cupboard with some lesser used items in another bathroom – I’ll detail below).  Cleaning up your medicine cabinet makes a big difference in terms of eliminating side effects from products that you didn’t realize were bothering you.  Proceed slowly, and if you don’t get rid of every single toxic thing in there, that’s okay too (I didn’t – well, I did when we were doing GAPS but then there are some things that I’ve allowed back in).

Left cabinet:

Essential oils (I’m not going to detail here – I like Plant Therapy brand)

Crab apple essence – I made a feng shui ‘room clearing’ spray for when we were renting and I wanted to have our house be a fresh start

Kombucha concentrate – this came with my continuous brew kit, I haven’t used it yet but it’s here.

Timer for the kids to brush their teeth for enough time

Argan oil to tame crazy dry winter hair (sephora)

Natural-ish hair spray – this is mostly for my daughter, when she sleeps on her hair wonky and I need to tame the bangs for school (Amazon)

Homemade deodorant (recipe)

Up top? Yeah, that’s toxic nail polish from target. It stays on, and it isn’t used often

Mainstream meds – tylenol, aspirin. Melatonin for occasional “I can’t sleep but I’m going to have to get up at 6 anyway!”, rescue remedy for stress, and arnica for bruises and scrapes.

My makeup bag, charcoal for tummy aches and teeth brushing (yes, this stuff does whiten teeth really well!), tooth powder

Toothbrush

Epilator – I use razors too (I shave with coconut oil) but this cuts down on how often I need to shave by a long shot.

Tom’s tooth paste

Diva Cup – have you tried this and couldn’t get it comfortable? You have to place it, make sure there’s no air in it, and then kinda kegal it up there.

Tweezerman Tweezers

Neutrogena sunscreen – for my strawberry blond who I can’t always completely cover with sun protective clothing

Lotion – Tropical Traditions

Lotion – Burt’s Bees (I use this on my face)

health home and happiness bathroom - kids baths

Kid’s bath stuff, I put all of this in their bath

Coconut oil – yes it makes my tub a mess but it really helps their skin stay moisturized.

Natural-ish baby shampoo – this is from Costco

Plant Therapy’s Soft Skin  – totally makes everything smell like carrots, but my son especially has drier skin.

Epsom salt – see this post

 

And there ya have it!
