The Gift of Wellness is Timeless.


This is why I’m so excited to release my first ever buying guide! This year, those on my gift list are receiving gifts of wellness and self-care. The seeds of self-care might get planted if I gift the tools to do the planting!!!


As a bonus, my list is 100% eco-friendly, sustainable, and vegan so this guide is good for the animals, good for the planet, and good for your health.


Let’s take a look inside the guide…


OK, so let’s talk Food.


For many people, the holidays are synonymous with food. To get a discount on getting huge holiday meals on the table, check out the 25% off promo that is being offered by Thrive Market.


As a bonus, your purchase is delivered right to your doorstep so you don’t have to worry about traffic, full parking lots, crowded aisles, or standing in line at the register. Check out their food, beauty, home, pet, and health products.


Examples of some baking essentials:

Thrive Market Organic Canned Pumpkin, 15 oz, $1.99

Milkadamia Unsweetened Macadamia Milk, 32 oz, $3.99

Maybe you want to try your hand at growing your own food but lack outdoor space. No yard? No desire to dig in the dirt? No idea what’s a weed and what’s a plant? No problem! Introducing the Tower Garden, a revolutionary way to grow your own fruits and veggies almost anywhere year-round and without soil! We’re talking about Aeroponics here: aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment rather than soil. Aeroponic systems use water, liquid nutrients and a soilless growing medium to quickly and efficiently grow your food, increasing yield by 30%, using as little as 2% of the water as traditional gardens, and growing plants 3 times faster. Get an introduction to the aeroponics growing method and Tower Garden here.


Are cooking and growing not your cuppa? Are you too busy to make a fresh meal for your family? Do you have aging parents who would love freshly prepared meals delivered weekly so they don’t have to cook? Check out celebrity-endorsed (and Coach Kat approved!) Vegin’Out. They are offering 20% off your first order (Code: Share20 from the link above). Let trained chefs prep and cook your weekly organic vegan entrees, sides, soups, and desserts and deliver them fresh to your home (nationwide!).


So now that we have food on the table, let’s make sure we’ve taken care of ourselves before the guests arrive.


Let’s make sure you have the energy to make it through the day, keep up with the kids, deal with a house-full of people, still get in your exercise (and walk the dog!). You can fuel your life using the supplements from my FUEL health coaching program. Made from the juice powder concentrates and oils from more than 40 different fruits and vegetables to bridge the gap between what you are eating and should be eating. Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO organic.

Have you showered yet? No?! Great, check this out. Plaine Products is seeking to rid your bathroom of single-use plastic and replace it with refillable aluminum. Order your vegan, eco-friendly, and sustainable shampoo, conditioner, washes, and lotions. Reorder when low (or auto-ship) and send your old bottles back in the postage paid refill box. All natural, no tears, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and safe for pets!


The travel size is great not only for travel but also as stocking stuffers! $5 shampoos and conditioners, $7 lotion. Have a look here.


Let’s prep your skin so you have a natural glow under your makeup. Exfoliate your skin with remedies from Ayurveda in Annemarie Skin Care Ayurvedic Facial Scrub ($34). This fragrant Indian herbal treatment is suitable for all skin types and exfoliates and softens with with horsetail and fenugreek seeds.

It’s almost time for the guests to arrive! Let’s take a look around the house.


So Well introduces Himalayan Salt into your décor, kitchen, and bath. Fair trade, handmade Himalayan crystal salt lamps are a beautiful way to enhance your environment and enjoy a pleasing soft, warm glow in any room of your home or office. Equal parts home décor and wellness tool, this Himalayan salt lamp (made from 250 million-year-old ancient salt crystal) emits negative ions which naturally recharge the air to reduce electromagnetic waves and reduce allergens.


No run-of-the-mill salt lamp will do during the holidays. Let So Well’s Limited Edition Amber Salt Lamp Angel light up your room ($49.90). For students or the office, check out the Amber Himalayan Salt Lamp USB Globe ($19.95).


Feeling a little stuffy, a bit of a cough? Don’t let it get you down! Try one of So Well’s Himalayan Salt Inhalers. I love mine and I recommend it to anyone with allergies, bronchitis, sinus issues, or asthma. (From $19.95)


Does winter leave you with cold hands and feet? So Well has you covered! So Well’s Warming Foot Balm with Himalayan Salt is specially crafted for people with poor circulation in their hands and feet to stimulate circulation by heating extremities and improving capillary function ($14.95).



For the ultimate gift you can give yourself or someone else, have a look at Bronwyn Katdaré Health Coaching services. To get yourself or a loved one on the road to recovery of health, sign up for a Health History Session ($50). Together, we will uncover stumbling blocks based on what you are eating and drinking, relationships and social activity, physical movement, and cultural influence among other things. During this eye-opening session, you will set goals for working with a health coach and define how I can help you on your journey.


At the very least sign yourself, a friend, or family member (tell them first!) up for my FREE monthly newsletter! Everybody loves a freebie!


Enjoy your shopping extravaganza! This month, I will also release my regular newsletter with the monthly blog post, new recipes, and new ideas.


Have a safe and loving holiday season!


Love,

Coach Kat
