Why Thrive Market is Key: Plus My Favorite Products

I am normally the type to avoid memberships programs because I fear I will never use them and not get my moneys worth. Totally not the case with Thrive Market. For the first time in history, organic and non toxic products cost the same price as conventional ones. This year alone, I have placed 14 orders, and it's not even December! I have been using Thrive Market since 2015 and so far, my lifetime savings is $2,022.35! Thrive Market is extremely convenient, you can place orders straight though their app or online and receive it in the mail 4-5 days later. Along with convenience, let me tell you why it is so worth it to have a Thrive membership then I will show you some of my all time Thrive favorites!

1. Product selection. Gunnar Lovelace, CEO and co-founder of Thrive, started the company to get healthy food into the hands of everyone, especially those who never though they would be able to afford it. The company stocks the top 3,500 high quality healthy and natural products at 25-50% off. They strive to commit to being a completely non GMO company and most of the products are organic and sustainably sourced. Thrive carries all of my favorite things from major brands like Epic and Siete and also a pretty amazing Thrive Market brand. People have coined Thrive as a cross between a Whole Foods and Costco. Whole Foods products with a Costco price. Which leads me to number two.

2. Price. Thrive Market does not make their money on the actual products they sell, they solely make their money through memberships. This deep community based company allows its members to receive wholesale pricing, with Thrive taking out the middle man. And as for the yearly membership (which by the way is only $59.95), if you do not make back the difference in a year, Thrive will give you the difference back! It is a win win situation! There is a minimum order price to hit to receive free shipping AND a free gift. This is where ordering online gets me, I hate paying for shipping. I make sure to spend the minimum ($49) each time I place an order to ensure the free shipping and gift. Each day, Thrive posts a new free gift when you place an oder, I have tried so many neat new products because of Thrive, including my latest free gift - golden milk and macadamia nut milk!

3. Sustainability. All of the packaging used at Thrive is 100% recyclable and compostable. As for a truck delivering your package, think of it this way.. The truck is already en route, delivering hundreds of packages on said route versus you leaving your home to drive round trip to the grocery store to pick up a just a few items. Also, once you start using Thrive, your frequency to the grocery store will go down since you already have groceries at your home.

4. Community. A little background about Gunnar, the CEO.. He grew up in a poor household with a single mom, trying to make ends meet. He watched his mother struggle to put healthy food on the table but buying organic was not in the picture because it was too expensive. When his mother remarried, her new husband owned a food co-op and Gunnar learned the power of buying food collaboratively to make it more affordable. He realized there was a market for this same concept online. Gunnar created Thrive market and the company tries so hard to get memberships into everyones hands.  For every paid membership, Thrive donates a membership to a low income family, teacher, veteran, or student. So when you purchase a membership you are giving back too.

5. Make Money. When you become a Thrive member you get your own unique code to give to friends and family. When ever someone purchases a membership using your link, you receive $25 in Thrive credit. 

Okay now the fun part, below is just a handful of my favorite items I choose to purchase through Thrive Market. I rarely run into an issue where Thrive does not carry an item I want, it is usually the other way around with the health food store I am in not having the product.
Thrive carries their own line of products, which makes them even more affordable! My favorites include their spices which are non irradiated and organic, ghee, collagen peptides, nut butters, olive oil, coconut oil, and baking flours. Other Thrive Market brand products that save me a ton of money are their supplements, essential oils, and cleaning supplies!




Other awesome products I regularly get at Thrive include apple cider vinegar, celtic sea salt, pink salt,  dulse and kelp seasonings, Primal Kitchen dressings and mayo, matcha, pasta and pasta sauces, and chocolate bars! Once in a while Thrive will send out an email with a percentage off your whole order promo code, I use these codes to stock up on my staples!


I frequently purchase my personal care and home cleaning products through Thrive as well. My absolute favorites include Dr. Bronners soaps, mymatcha stick, lip balms, Primal Pit Paste deodorant, toothpaste, face and hair oils, and laundry powder.

Why You Should Ditch Tampons and Pads: All About Menstrual Cups

I wish I did it sooner! That is always my answer when someone asks me how I like my Diva Cup. Yea, I know most of the menstrual cups on the market look like something straight from an alien spaceship but I can assure you, they will save you, your wallet, and the planet a ton of hassle! Read below my top reasons why you should try a menstrual cup on your next period and make sure to enter my giveaway at the end of this post! Hold up girl, back up, what the heck is a menstrual cup? Well, I am glad you asked because they are my new favorite thing to talk about and refer to all my lady friends. A menstrual cup is a flexible, silicone cup that is inserted like a tampon but instead of absorbing the blood from your period, it simply creates a barrier and catches blood in the cup like shape. Once inserted, the cup comfortably rests up agains the walls of your vagina, allowing blood to pool into the cup and suction prevents all leakage. There are many menstrual cup companies on the mark

All About Dust Mite Allergies

If you suffer from allergies, chances are you may be allergic to dust mites. Even if you do not, and have never suffered from allergies, I think you may find this post interesting; especially the part about 10 million arachnids living inside of your mattress! So read on to find out what dust mites are and how we can rid our home of these pretty nasty creatures.  We all know what dust is, it is normally always on the top of our curio cabinet after the maids clean and we most certainly try our best to not have it present in our homes. But what if dust was also hidden, so small we cannot see it, and completely engulfing your bed sheets and pillows at this very moment? That, my friends, is a harsh reality happening in a majority of our homes. The true definition of dust (from el dictionary) is fine, dry powder consisting of tiny particles of earth or waste matter lying on the ground, on surfaces, or carried in the air. Dust can be found outside made up of tiny particles of soil

Quitting Hormonal Birth Control

I got my period young, like many girls do these days. I was twelve years old and other than being pretty young, everything was pretty normal. Everything remained normal until the day I walked into the doctors office and they prescribed me the pill. I was thirteen. I did not go on the pill because I was having sex rather I went on the pill because my doctor told me it would help me regulate my periods and take away the discomfort of cramps. To be honest, I cannot remember if my periods were even irregular. I do remember having slight cramping during the start of my period, but trust me, nothing like I do now. My doctor was so quick and relaxed to give me - this virgin, juvenile 13 year old, the pill. I stayed on the pill for 10 years. I look back over the years between 13 and 23 and I wonder if things like my severe adult acne and dysmenorrhea were actually due to hormonal imbalances or the pill messing with my hormones. You see, I feel like I had ten years of my life robbed by what
