Exercise Equipment and Recovery Tools
Sandbell
Sandbells are padded bags of sand that can be used in so many ways and come in varying sizes and weights. The beauty of these is they combine the benefits of using dumbbells, kettlebells, slam balls, and medicine balls. Because there’s sand inside, the weight shifts and adds momentum when used in dynamic movements. This helps improve core stability, grip strength, and even balance. Sandbells are extremely versatile. They’re great for explosive throws and slams, presses, rows, squats, and core work, just to name a few.
Hip Bands
Hip bands are also sometimes called hip circles or booty bands. Not only do these improve the visual look of our backside, they play an important role in strengthening the hips, gluteal muscles, and prevent muscle imbalances in our lower body. In general, most people do A LOT of sitting. All of that sitting has made our glutes and hips weaker. Hip bands target the muscles around the hip, and the glute muscles. By strengthening these areas we reduce the risk of injury, build hip integrity, and increase activation and recruitment. Strong glutes and hips are a cornerstone for activities such as walking, running, jumping, hiking, and climbing. You also strengthen your hip abductors and external rotators while training with better form and alignment. I even like to use these bands for upper body movements such as push-ups, chest presses, biceps curls, shoulder presses as well as core exercises.
Hyperice Venom – Advanced Heat + Vibration Wrap (Back) – FSA or HSA Approved
The Venom 2 is an amazing heated tool for the legs, back, or shoulders that can be used to alleviate muscle soreness and joint pain and stiffness. It also supports warmup before your workout helping in flexibility, and recovery afterwards loosening muscle knots. There are separate tools each for back, leg, and shoulders that can be purchased individually so you can choose the one(s) that you need most. It heats up 6x faster than a heating pad, and has the added advantage of providing compression, and vibration, wrapping you in wonderful warmth!
Hyperice products are HSA/FSA eligible, so you can take advantage of that financial benefit!
Hyperice Hypervolt 2
We love this tool for exercise recovery. It’s a vibrational massage tool that comes with multiple attachment heads, which you can choose based on the part of your body you’re using it on, and your specific needs (overall soreness, relieving a knot, etc.).
It can make a huge difference in your recovery after a challenging workout and maintaining suppleness of your muscles.
Hyperice products are HSA/FSA eligible, so you can take advantage of that financial benefit!
Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2
This is a slightly less expensive version of the tool referenced above, just with two attachment heads instead of five. This is a great option if the above one doesn’t fit your budget. The two attachment heads will offer great relief for sore or problem areas on your body.

Books
Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor
This is an entertaining book where James recounts his journey to understanding how many humans have lost touch from the most basic function there is: breathing. He explores how nasal breathing is our body’s natural and prefer method of breathing and how the frequency of our breaths matter, too. He shares his findings from scientific literature and his own experiment that he participates in where his forces himself to ONLY mouth breathe.
The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self by Michael Easter
This is another entertaining health-related read that will change how you view comfort, challenge and your own life. Michael Easter shares his experience of embarking on a month-long hunting expedition in the frigid cold, disconnected from society, backcountry Alaska. We bet after you read it, you will start choosing the less comfortable option more often!
“Supplements”
We put supplements in quotation marks because the products we’re referencing aren’t really supplements, they’re foods! They are whole foods that are freeze-dried, ground into powder and put in capsule form. Freeze-dried foods retain most of their nutritional value. We love the products from Ancestral Supplements and have been consuming them for the past five years. We’re not linking each individual one, because there are so many and they are all helpful for different reasons, depending on what type of support you’re seeking. If you’re just looking for overall wellness, we suggest considering a “foundational” trio of liver or beef organs, bone & marrow and tallow. They also have a brand new whole-body support product called Greens and it contains a mix of organs, micronutrients and probiotics. We haven’t tried it yet but are very intrigued! This might be a good option if you would rather take just one product than the three mentioned before (it’s not technically part of the Prime sale, but there’s a 20% coupon you can select).
Thymus is great for an immune system boost. We take this if we feel the emerging symptoms of a cold or illness (and Brianna gives it to her son, too).
We take the Fish Eggs instead of doing a fish oil supplement. They are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.
If you are someone who needs to boost iron levels, spleen is a good alternative to a traditional iron supplement.
Brianna credits the FEM product for helping conceive baby #2 last year.

Cooking & Meal Prep
Glass Meal Prep Containers
We avoid plastic touching our food as much as possible, and that’s why we love these divided compartment glass storage containers. They’re very sturdy and are handy for keeping sauces separate from the main part of the meal or separating two kinds of foods. These wouldn’t be ideal for something like a salad, since the main compartment isn’t very large, but they work great for other types of meals. Brianna especially loves them for transporting snacks for her 4-year-old when on outings. Crackers or nuts can be kept separate from things that are moist like fruit or deli meat.
Stovetop Popcorn Popper
When Irene ditched her microwave, she had to find another way to make popcorn. Enter – the Whirley Pop stovetop popcorn maker! That one isn’t actually on sale for Prime Days, but this is a competitor version that is highly rated. Microwave popcorn isn’t good for us anyways – the bags it’s cooked in contain toxic chemicals and materials. Using this tool to make popcorn is just as quick as making it in the microwave, but more fun! If you have kids or grandkids, they will love helping turn the handle and listening for the kernels to pop. Be sure to get the stainless steel version over the aluminum one, as it’s not good to cook food on aluminum either.
When making our popcorn, we use virgin coconut oil to cook the kernels. And, we love Tiny, But Mighty Popcorn Kernels – they’re so much better than “normal” popcorn kernels. We usually melt a little butter to pour over the cooked popcorn, toss with salt, and we also love to add this white cheddar cheese powder. Our homemade popcorn is the best!!
Happy Prime Days shopping! We hope this list offered some new ideas to support wellness in your life!
