I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite products and gadgets that I love and use on a weekly basis. In no particular order, below is a very random list of products that I’ve stumbled upon over the years, and am now completely hooked on and can’t live without!
- ZERO WATER- I was introduced to ZeroWater about two years ago when my friend Marissa offered me a drink at her house. I hadn’t given much thought to the taste of water (has anyone?) and I don’t think I’ve ever commented on it before that day, but it tasted SO good. She told me about this water filter she discovered, ZeroWater. Most tap water contains dissolved solids (gross) and this filtration process claims to remove 99.6% of TDS (total dissolved solids) from your tap water, such as aluminum and lead. It comes with a water testing meter so you always know when it’s time to replace the filter. (Pro tip- do not take the testing meter with you on vacation and test the water at your hotel out of curiosity, it will gross you out for the duration of your trip.) When you test the water after it’s filtered, the meter reads 0.00, hence the name. The science is interesting but I bought it for the taste. It tastes 1000x better than the filtered water that’s built in our refrigerator and I threw my Brita in the trash. I have never experienced drinking untouched Artic glacier water, but I imagine it would taste like this.
- DOHM SOUND MACHINE– I am an insomniac, and it is the WORST. Am I the only one who has to drink at least 7 cups of coffee just to form a sentence in the mornings, but as soon as the sun goes down my brain kicks into overdrive?!
I have never related to anything more ^ Anyways, I’m always looking for ways to help me fall asleep and STAY asleep. This sound machine from Dohm is a game changer. The model I have has two speed settings that both sound like rushing air (think about the sound of your air conditioner in the car on full blast). I keep mine on my nightstand and it helps drown sounds of the house settling, the dogs walking around, or anything else that used to wake me up in the middle of the night. I originally purchased it in hopes that the sound would help me stay asleep, but the longer I’ve had it I’ve noticed that I’ve also been able to fall asleep much faster. I think my body has learned to associate that sound with sleep, so the second I flip the switch and hear the familiar, comforting sound I instantly start to relax. Bonus- it’s so small, I pack it in my suitcase to help me sleep on trips!
- ULLO- Okay guys..so this product is number 3 on the list, but it’s number one in my heart. When I got the idea to write this post, this was actually the very first product to make the list! To say I am a wine enthusiast is an understatement. There is nothing I love more at the end of a long week than to unwind with a large glass of Cabernet. What I didn’t love were the headaches that I almost always got after drinking wine. Thanks to Ullo, I can now enjoy a second glass of wine WITHOUT GETTING A HEADACHE! The headaches that are associated with wine are often related to a sensitivity from the sulfites that are added during production as a preservative. Some sulfites do occur naturally in wine as a bi-product of fermentation, but most sulfite sensitivities/allergies occur from the added sulfites which are artificially derived chemicals. These added sulfates are what the Ullo is removing, leaving you with wine that tastes like its natural state from the vineyard.
Okay, so how does it work!? The Ullo fits perfectly on top of almost any decanter or wine glass. You just pour the wine and it passes through a filter that targets and retains only the sulfites, allowing the wine to flow through to your glass without compromising the integrity of the wine. Even if you’re not remotely interested in removing chemicals, the taste difference alone would be enough to make you want to invest in an Ullo. Not surprisingly, removing artificial chemicals makes it taste even better! Don’t feel like going and spending money on a super nice bottle of wine? No problem, go get a $7 bottle, run it through Ullo, and be amazed at how fantastic it tastes. This product has completely spoiled me and I refuse to drink wine without it. I’ve given this as a gift for birthdays, wedding showers, housewarming parties, etc. Basically what I’m suggesting is that you immediately go get an Ullo and drink a glass or three to test it out for yourself. You’re basically contributing to science. You are welcome. - HYALURONIC ACID – When I first told my sister about this product she said I was crazy for putting acid on my face! But since I’m older and wiser, I informed her that although it sounds intimidating, it’s naturally present in the human body! It acts as a lubricating or cushioning agent everywhere from your eyeballs to your knees, and it can be used as a moisturizer on your skin. It’s had a recent rise in popularity in the skincare world, and now you can find it as an ingredient in tons of beauty products on the shelves. After I wash my face in the evenings, I apply HA before I use my moisturizer to help plump my skin and combat fine lines and wrinkles. I can tell a significant difference when I use it, especially around my eyes and smile lines.
- ST. TROPEZ BRONZING MOUSSE- I’ve been hooked on sunless tanners ever since I discovered the MysticTan in college (my undergrad skin color ranged from Creamsicle orange to rich mahogany …woof). I’ve used dozens of different sunless tanning products over the years and this mousse by St. Tropez is hands down my favorite. You apply it with a mitt which gives you a very even application with no streaks. It’s slightly tinted when you apply it which enables you to see where you have already applied so you never miss a spot! Its thin consistency allows it to dry much faster than any other tanner I’ve tried, which is the main reason it is my favorite. No one has the time to sit around and wait on your legs to dry before you get dressed!

Loved these items! ordering a couple of them now! Thanks Lo
Thanks for reading, Lisa! Let me know if you try any 🙂
So at first, I kinda scoffed at what I would say I can’t live without. I’ve got 2 kids and I look barely awake most days, managing an office. But after I’ve pondered on it, my 5 things prolly are totally different for very good reasons. We are in different phases. And while I’m super jealous that you own these things ANd that I had no idea they existed, maybe I can share something new for another phase in a girl’s life.
5 things I can’t live without
1. L’Oréal smoldering eye liner. It’s one of the only things I must wear out of the house. It’s a simple crayon, and it’s fool-proof, even for an idiot like me.
2. Summers Eve personal wash. Perfect for avoiding that summer stank. I didn’t know this existed and I was using baby wash for my sensitive region. This wash smells grown up and keeps your ph balance in a healthy state.
3. Bra- I have giant 34G knockers, and my boobs don’t leave the house without a really good bra. I exclusively use Panache sports bras, and then I get fitted at a specialty shop for my erryday ones. I highly recommend getting fitted and upgrading from run-of-the-mill bras. And don’t forget to get refitted after pregnancy, nursing, weight loss, etc.
4. Coconut oil- my nail place recommended slathering this stuff on my calloused heels every night, and it has made all the difference.
5. Vicks baby rub- did you know this makes a great lip balm? I use this during the winter and during allergy season to keep my lips moisturized and my nose feeling clear. I use Burts Bees tinted lip balm for other seasons.
haha you crack me up! I love coconut oil too, it fixes everything! Dry hair? coconut oil! Softer cuticles? coconut oil! Kids acting up? coconut oil! 😀
You’re so funny, love this post! I’m def checking out the zero water and ullo, gotta stay hydrated 😍 Keep em coming! Xo
Thank you so much for reading, let me know what you think if you get either one!
Sold on all of them! Love this blog.
Thank you, Nicole! Let me know if you try any 🙂

When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added”
checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Cheers!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips
or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

your ideas!!
Hey, how’s it going?
I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!
In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.
Jewish Rabbis have publicly announced that their Messiah will be revealed in the coming years who will be a leader and spiritual guide to all nations, gathering all religions under the worship of one God. They deny Jesus as their Messiah, and the Bible tells us this Jewish Messiah will be the counterfiet that will bring about a false peace, and ultimatley the great tribulation.
They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.
More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically in Revelation 13:16-18:
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. This Mark couldn’t be spiritual because the word references two different physical locations. If it was spiritual it would just say in the forehead. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).
People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we needed two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.
Visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see proof for these things as well as proof that the Bible truly is the word of God!
If you haven’t already, it is time to seek God with all your heart. Jesus loves you more than you could imagine. He wants to have a relationship with you and redeem you from your sins. Turn to Him and repent while there is still hope! God bless!
