My Favorite Things

One of the reasons Start Fueling Better was created was to help people weed through the bologna (no pun intended) within the world of nutrition. As well as to provide people with accurate and helpful nutrition information, with the intention of helping them feel better and/or make their lives easier.

This all came about because I wanted these answers myself. So over time I have tried a lot of products and found some that I really like. Then I began suggesting them to family, friends and people I met. With that said, I have created this page to now share these products with all of you that may also be interested. To be clear, I only recommend things I have used myself and would recommend to family and friends. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

This page may contain affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase that Start Fueling Better, LLC will receive a small portion of the sale. That is at no additional expense to you. Only my favorites make it to this page. Thank you for your support.

Rep Provisions

  • They use regenerative agriculture practices

Kitchen Goods

Reusable Silicone Bag

  • Freezer, Microwave, Dishwasher, Oven Safe
  • Variety of Colors/Designs Available

Reusable Grocery/Shopping Bags

  • Variety of Colors/Prints Available, Machine Washable
  • My previous grocery bags were harder to clean and that grossed me out. I really like that these can be tossed in the machine. Plus I don't feel weird taking these to shop at pretty much any store because they are pretty stylish.

BPA-Free Glass Water Bottle 

  • Variety of Colors Available
  • It's not as heavy as I thought it might be, which I like. The silicone on the outside makes it easy to handle even if your hands are a little wet. I like the wide mouth bottle like this one pictured here, but they have the more narrow mouth if you prefer that.

Glass Storage Containers

  • BPA Free, Freezer, Dishwasher & Microwave Safe

Electric Can Opener

  • I find a lot of can openers to be unpleasant. Seriously, I've never liked a can opener UNTIL this can opener. It is awesome!

Reusable Produce Bags

  • I love that these can be put into the washing machine.

Glass Drinking Cup

  • These are double-wall, so there isn't "sweating"

Microwavable Popcorn Maker

  • Silicone and dishwasher safe
  • Folds into itself - takes up less storage space

Lifestyle

Calm

  • Meditation app
  • I really like the "Daily Calm"
    • There is a new one every day, and it's always right around 10 minutes
  • You can set it to have sounds play in the background (like birds or rain) during the meditations, so it's never completely silent

Household

Branch Basics Cleaning Products & Detergent

  • There are multiple options and starter kits.

Branch Basics Gel Hand Soap

  • I really like this product for a number of reasons, and at the same time I will acknowledge it is significantly more expensive than "typical" hand soap.

Personal Care/Beauty

Makeup Remover Facial Wipes

  • I have used Honest products for years. Their products are "free of " a lot of ingredients that other products aren't.
  • Other face wipes have left my face and hands feeling greasy, and irritate my eyes. These wipes don't aren't like that.

Apparel

Pact

  • Organic cotton, fair trade, GOTS

Food Puns

  • Shirts, tanks and other goods
