The Daily Apple Blog

A fun holiday activity to do with children or grandchildren.

 

Three words: Glass Water Bottles. Who knew one product would have us going crazy?! Crazy in a good way though, not the kind that makes you want to scream. These water bottles have been flying off our shelves like we never thought they would, and for good reason too!  They’re the perfect size, they’re easy to use, and not to mention glass bottles, opposed to plastic, are better for the environment, and also better for your health!

Hello friends! Its Justyce here, and I am so excited to be writing my first blog post for the Daily Apple! In this blog I am going to be talking about our brand new products of the month for June! Amanda asked me to write this post because when I found out Hair, Skin, & Nails was going to be the product of the month I knew I had to give it a try! According to the NOW Foods website NOW^® Solutions Clinically Advanced Hair, Skin & Nails is formulated to nurture hair, skin, and nails from the inside. This product features Cynatine^® HNS, a revolutionary patented and bioavailable form of solubilized Keratin that can help you maintain full, lustrous hair and nails that are strong and flexible. Cynatine^® HNS can also help the skin to retain its youthful moisture and elasticity, as well as battle signs of aging associated with free radicals. This product also has other critical nutrients necessary for the support and maintenance of the skin's healthy and youthful appearance.

This is a question we get asked at least once a day in store. So here is our answer. When choosing a diffuser there are several things to consider and a lot of the decision is based on your personal preference of what style you like best. A couple things to know about all of the diffusers I am going to review today is use regular tap water (not distilled) --- this is a great advantage. You don’t have to buy water that costs extra money. Also, do not overfill your diffuser. If you overfill it even by a little bit the mist will not come out (trust me on this one….I have done this a few times). Remember to clean your diffuser regularly. It’s really easy but we will write another blog post on that.

Just the word cleanse scares people. Trust me doing a good complete body cleanse is not something that should scare you. It should instead make you feel good that you are taking care of your body and ridding it of toxins. No matter how healthy we eat our body is inundated with toxins.

Happy May! Today we take a moment to introduce you to our products of the month. This first one is one we get really excited about around here. Amanda first used CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) oh about 17 years ago. She found it super helpful for toning up and losing inches. She also noticed more energy when taking this product. It helped her jump start the beginning of her weight loss journey. A lot of research has been done on CLA and its great benefits for helping the body burn fat.

I had the opportunity to keep my nieces and nephew overnight recently and somehow cooking is always a part of what we do when they visit. This time we were celebrating my niece Kora’s 5^th birthday. When I called her Friday to ask her what she wanted to make for her birthday treats I gave her the choice of cake, cookies or muffins. I could not have been more happy when she said muffins. I was shocked and then quickly remembered almost 3 years ago when we made Paleo Blueberry Muffins and I named the recipe after her in my original blog post. I asked her a couple more questions and sure enough she wanted to make blueberry muffins. I was pretty thrilled that instead of picking up a mix out of a box I was able to head to the fresh fruit aisle and grab blueberries. The rest of the ingredients I had on hand at home.

Every month at both Daily Apple locations and now at dailyappleonline.com we feature a product of the month and offer a 20% discount. One of our very favorite products is on sale during March. Meet Easy Cleanse, a gentle cleansing formula designed to support digestive and metabolic health. Just like the name says this cleanse is simple to use. You take two capsules of the a.m. formula before breakfast and two after lunch. Then at bedtime you take four of the p.m. formula. If you have never tried a whole body cleanse you will enjoy the simplicity of this Now Foods cleanse.

It’s hard to believe that our new website has been up and running for a month and a half now. When I think back to the week leading up to our launch, the excitement of a brand new design and allowing people the opportunity to shop 24 hours a day was great but I was filled with fear. I knew the design and navigation of the site would be fine but I was scared to introduce myself to the world as a speaker from Worthington, MN. If you know me well, you know I love to talk and I really love to speak about issues I am passionate about. So it might surprise you I was scared for people to see the Book Amanda to Speak tab on our website.

The last couple years the popularity of essential oils has sky rocketed. It was not that long ago that essentials oils were something that would be used mostly by really natural-minded people. Today, essential oils are everywhere and more and more people are using them for many health benefits. I remember 25 years ago when my parents started using oils, I thought they all smelled bad and as a teenager I often made fun of them but wow, whenever they would give me an oil for something it helped (and usually really quickly).
