2019 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide

Articles

Hi beautiful friend!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your loved ones, and if you can believe it there’s only a few weeks until the next big holiday to celebrate!

I get asked all the time for product recommendations and what types of things my family personally uses and loves, so this year I thought I’d put together a Just Enjoy Health holiday gift guide to share some of my favorite things with you.

Whether you use this guide to shop for your friends and family, or as an opportunity to put together your own Christmas wish list, I hope you find it helpful!

Please note that some of the links below are affiliate links, which means that if you make a purchase using them Just Enjoy Health may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support!

Personal Growth

Every year I absolutely love using this goal planner to map out and take action on meaningful goals that align with my season of life. Seriously, EVERY woman needs one of these.

Yearly Prayer Journal

I love using this prayer journal to get really intentional in my prayer life (which let’s be honest, can be tough as a busy mama to two littles!)

Growth Book Journal

This is the coolest little journal, specifically created to help you document your year of growth. You can use it to record your goals, bible study and sermon notes, memory verses, prayers, God’s faithfulness, the books you’ve read and more.

Style & Beauty

Beautycounter Skincare & Makeup

Hands down my favorite brand of safe, clean skincare and beauty, and right now there are SO many great gifting options available (for you and your loved ones!)

True & Co Truebody Bras (Get 25% off with code BESTDEAL25)

My absolute favorite bras! They’re stretchy, supportive, smoothing, well made, and designed for women in any stage of life.

Rothy’s Shoes (Get $20 off using my link!)

I just love these beautiful, comfortable, washable shoes because they are sustainably made from over 30 million plastic water bottles. So cool, right?!

Woven Together Earrings

This small shop has the most beautiful, handmade statement earrings that I love wearing, and also make gorgeous woven wall hangings and necklaces.

Home & Kitchen

Branch Basics Cleaning Products (Get 20% off Starter Kits with code GIVECLEAN)

We use this awesome cleaning concentrate in our home and absolutely love it. It’s so awesome because you can use it at different dilution rates to clean literally everything in your home!

Defender Pad

This is the pad I use to block the EMF radiation and heat that emits from my laptop. It’s fantastic!

Epicurean Cutting Boards

These are my favorite cutting boards – perfect for everyday use, maintenance free as they don’t absorb odors or harbor bacteria, and temperature resistant to 350°F, so they can be used as trivets too!

Breville Convection Smart Oven

This little appliance has been a game changer in our kitchen! It makes life so much easier because it cooks quickly and has so many uses (frying, dehydrating, roasting, etc.)

Yeti Insulated Mug

This is such a classic and a must-have for every busy woman on the go! It does an amazing job of keeping drinks either hot or cold for literally hours.

Sunlighten Infrared Sauna

Sweating is the body’s safest way to heal and stay healthy, so we’ve loved using our new Sunlighten sauna this year. It’s definitely a worthwhile investment that will keep paying out for years to come.

Mamas & Kiddos

Fawn Design Diaper Bag

I have a Fawn diaper bag, mini, and diaper changing bag and LOVE them. They’re made so well, super stylish, functional and durable. I always get so many compliments on them!

Nugget Play Couch

Such a fun purchase for kiddos! It’s part furniture, part-toy and will keep your kids playing and having so much fun.

Lovevery Play Gym (Get $20 off $100+ with code LOVEMONDAY20)

I think this play gym for little ones looks incredible, and if I was a new mom I would totally want one of these!

Play Salad Set / Slice & Toss Salad Set / Taco Set / Smoothie Set / Healthy Dinner Set

These quality food play toys are really helpful for teaching little ones food and kitchen skills while also showing them through play what healthy eating looks like!

Simplifying health: take action from freedom, not fear

Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the l Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the little victories (that are actually really big) and trusting God in the process!!
Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsessi Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsession or orthorexia? Somehow you are now stressed about EVERYTHING being a toxin and brain is swirling with that all day, every day?. 

Does that sound like you? Or maybe just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ (please tell me I'm not the only one!)

I just don't think that's the Lord's plan for our lives and thought lives. I think there is another way to do health differently than our country and yet not become fearful and all-consumed with it all. We can be aware, make wise decisions, and let the rest be in the Lord's hands.

Most of you know I've taken 7 months off of posting regular content on my Instagram page. I only intended to stop posting for 2-4 weeks. But I realized I was stuck in this mental loop of always thinking about my health and my symptoms and then I was in a business where I only posted about health. That needed to stop. And when I slowed that loop I realized hey, I don't even want to post, so I didn't. 

Are you living in that balance now? Or teetering in the imbalance? If you are feeling imbalanced, the first thing is to NOT beat yourself up about it. If you have had chronic symptoms, I think it is our body's protective mechanism to put us in this loop. But the lie is that we aren't safe with symptoms... but we are safe if things medically check out fine. 

To get out of that mind loop, I would encourage you to take these thoughts captive. When they come in, give them to the Lord, and choose to think about something true and lovely and beautiful. Do this as often as you need which will probably be numerous times per day! 

It sounds easy but it isn't. Simple, yes. Easy, no. Put your faith in Christ and trust that he can renew your mind back to a healthy balance of holistic health. And if you suffer from symptoms... I do believe this is foundational for symptom resolution too.
I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I w I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I wasn’t, but I have been my whole life. 

So when the sun peaked through the days of dreary cloud cover I bundled up and bolted outside for a walk. It was 35 degrees and felt so nice. 

The 1 mile walk and the sun on my face was what I needed. I miss my nice weather walks. Only 4.5 more months of the cold here 🤣

Ps. Yes, I know that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. But really, I get cold easily and don’t like it. So it’s bad weather to me 🤷🏻‍♀️.
I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting dow I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting down was going to be the catalyst for me stepping back from social media.

It was. And it was one of the best things I’ve done in a long time. 

Why? I didn’t realize I was addicted to it. To checking. To learning. To creating content. It all. The business part and the learning about health. (Ouch that hurts a bit admitting it). 

It was all tied into nervous system dysfunction for me. Just feeding the circle of vigilance. And that wasn’t good for me body, mind, spirit. 

And it was SO hard to step away from this account. It took me about 6 weeks to stop picking up my phone to take a B roll video. Or to think “hey, I want to share with IG”. 

I really do miss you all… that’s what I miss the most. Interacting with you all! 

But my brain needed the time away. And honestly I’m still away. I just have felt like sharing a few things lately because of the November holiday sales. 

You know what I feared if I stepped away? I was scared I’d miss something shared about health that was what I needed. That I would miss some kind of magic bullet or clinical pearl and I wouldn’t heal without it. 

Guess what? That wasn’t true. 

I actually could think and focus on my health in a different way. I could surrender to God in a different way. I wasn’t cluttered with all sorts of thoughts on here. I’ve made some really good decisions about my health and healing with deep confidence. 

And I didn’t peace out of IG fully. I check mostly non-health related content on a private account. (Hello politics, I need some IG fill for that 😂). 

But I did take ALL of August off of IG and broke my dependence and need for it. It was SO good. I thought I’d kiss out so much. I didn’t miss anything. I found all the news and learning I needed from podcasts. And I bought less because I have no idea what’s trendy 🤷🏻‍♀️

I still like social media and Instagram. But I do think many of us need much better boundaries. It sucks you in… it’s supposed to! 

I share because I want to invite you to do something similar if you feel the pull in your spirit. 

Step back, you’re not going to miss anything. 
And think of what you may gain?!?
Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of H Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of Health and Human Services. And I am so excited. 

It's been a full week watching Trump make his cabinet selections but this one felt surreal. 

The corrupt natural of the medical system and Big Farma has been on my radar for almost 2 decades. And it has seemed to get worse vs better (ie covid jab mandates). 

Now we see this cabinet selection for this big position be a man who has fought for decades for children's health, for real meaningful healthcare reform, and spoke endlessly about jab side effects... it just takes my breath away. 

WHAT?? Is this real? 

I have so many thoughts. So many memories flood my mind about talking with my patients when I was a chiropractor about our medical system. The need to educate yourself about holistic and alternative health and to make better decisions than the standard american way of health. And of course, the endless conversations about the risks of jabs to new moms and dads so they can make the best decision for their kids. 

It used to feel like there were so few voices speaking out. And has now grown to a very large and loud group. 
I'd love to see the data on how many people voted for Trump because of the MAHA movement. What kind of needle moving did the partnership with RFKJ bring? I think it was quite a lot! 

Coming soon could be real change. And I'm not sure how much he's actually able to do. How deep does the corruption go? I don't know. 

But I do know that for now I am going to have hope and celebrate because this is a BIG win for medical freedom and the health of our nation. 

MAHA friends!! For ourselves, our families, and our country!

I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycoun I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycounter in-between sale. I will give you the link first and explain the sale and my thoughts below.

Here is the link to shop with me: https://www.beautycounter.com/MEGHANBIRT​  and it is also in my bio. 

Beautycounter is not open, but has a month long sale. while they wait to reopen. My link is different and all products are there but many could sell out.

When is the Sale: November 1-December 2

How do you shop: You need my link above. It is good for 72 hours and if you shop again, you need to choose my link again. You can't look me up and you're not attributed to me like you were when I was a brand advocate. 

Also, I wanted to share a few thoughts, I am participating in this Beautycounter in-between sale to give you opportunity to purchase your favorite Beautycounter products. I don't know what the future of Beautycounter looks like yet and haven't decided if I will pursue anything in the future.

I still really love my Crunchi products, and will be sharing Crunchi also. But I am choosing to give you the opportunity to choose both companies. Some of you want to shop Beautycounter and some people want to move on and not support it anymore, and for right now I'm here for you with both. 

Thank you for choosing me and my links, it makes such a big difference and I appreciate it.
