Two kids, work, workouts (ish), pumping bottles, making adrenal cocktails, trying to sleep like a human — if it’s still in rotation halfway through the year, it’s good. This is the stuff I keep reaching for on autopilot: wellness, skin, home, and little mom-life helpers that actually make my days easier. All linked here.
Oura Ring
I wear my Oura every day — sleep, readiness, recovery, cycle shifts… it catches patterns before I feel them. With two littles and a weird schedule, the readiness score helps me decide: lift heavy? walk + mobility? or call today “low‑impact + hydrate.”
Why I love it:
- Tracks sleep stages, timing, HRV, temp shifts, and recovery trends.
- Helpful for cycle awareness (temperature and readiness changes line up for me).
- Tiny + mom‑proof: I can wear it while changing diapers, lifting weights, everything.
Make it useful: If you already have an Oura, don’t just stare at the graph. I wrote a full post on how I use ChatGPT to interpret Oura data and turn it into actionable habits — workouts, bedtime shifts, stress resets. Read it here → How I Use ChatGPT To Understand My Oura Ring Data.

Kion Aminos
My daily amino drink. Essential amino acids (EAAs) are the building blocks your body actually uses to repair and build muscle — and research shows a properly balanced EAA formula can be up to ~8x more efficient than whey protein for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.* Translation: you get more bang per scoop, especially on days you miss a meal or don’t hit protein goals.
Why I take it:
- All 9 essential amino acids in the clinically backed ratio for muscle repair.
- Great support for hair, skin, nails, tissue recovery, and lean muscle.
- Easy when I’m pumping, chasing kids, or not hungry yet.
How I use it: Mix in water (plain or adrenal cocktail style), sip anytime — workout, school drop, desk day. Doesn’t upset my stomach.
Code: Use ERINKEE for 10–20% off (varies by promo).
Shop Kion Aminos: Use my Kion link + code ERINKEE
*Efficiency comparison: EAA formulations absorb rapidly and can stimulate muscle protein synthesis with fewer total grams vs typical protein powders. Individual results vary, but this is why I keep them in rotation.
Redmond Relyte Electrolytes
Hydration that actually moves the needle for me. Relyte is built around Real Salt mineral content — not just flavored water. You get meaningful amounts of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and trace minerals that support hydration, nerve + muscle function, and overall energy.
Why I use it:
- Hot Texas days + workouts + breastfeeding seasons = need minerals.
- Noticeable difference in afternoon energy when I’m consistent.
- Mixes well in water or in my Adrenal Cocktail (recipe below!).

Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher
This is the water we drink at home and what goes into every baby bottle. Clearly Filtered is independently tested to reduce fluoride, PFAS (“forever chemicals”), lead, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and 300+ other contaminants — without a full under‑sink system.
Why I use it:
- Easy counter solution I can refill one‑handed.
- Real testing data across a long contaminant list.
- Safer feeling water for the whole family.

Seamless No-Show Underwear
The unsung hero. Soft, stretchy, doesn’t dig, and actually stays put under leggings and summer dresses. I rotate multiple colors weekly.
Why I love them:
- No seams showing through activewear.
- Thin + breathable (mom life approved).
- Budget friendly — I buy the multi‑packs.

Crystal Quest Bath Filter
Lives on the kids’ tub. Warm bath water opens pores (and lets chlorine + other stuff hit their skin + lungs). Filtering helps — especially when we’re in an eczema or dry skin phase.
Why we use it:
- Kinder on sensitive skin.
- Helps reduce chlorine & sediment exposure.
- Easy install / swap between baths.

My Glow Skin Duo: Antioxidant Face Oil + Apoterra Vitamin C Balm
This combo completely changed my skin. I stack a lightweight Madhippie antioxidant oil (protects, calms, barrier support) with the Apoterra Vitamin C Balm (brightens, evens tone, glow). Every time I share skin stories, yall ask what I’m using — it’s this.
How I layer:
- Damp skin (mist or water).
- Antioxidant oil — small pump, press in.
- Apoterra Vit C Balm — warms into skin, seals everything, gives that glow under SPF.
- Gua Sha

Kindle
Mine is the basic Kindle — and it’s enough. I read in bed instead of doom scrolling and it’s helped my sleep so much. I read (somewhere in a sleep paper) that people who read before bed fall asleep in about 6 minutes. Honestly checks out in this house.
How I use it:
- 10–15 min read after baby’s last feed.
- Syncs with Libby library app = free books.
- Travel / pumping room friendly.
- Try a red light filter on it!

Zums Laundry Detergent
A non‑toxic laundry detergent that actually gets stains out and leaves things fresh — without heavy artificial fragrance. I’ve used Mollys through newborn blowouts, gym clothes, toddler mystery stains… it handles all of it.
Why it’s a keeper:
- Ingredient transparency.
- Powder + liquid options.
- Works in HE + standard washers.

Shark VacMop Combo
Cordless, lightweight, and way more affordable than the viral floor system everyone tags me in. I can grab it one‑handed, zip under the high chair, and spot clean the kitchen in under two minutes.
Why I love it:
- Vac + mop in one pull.
- Great for post‑meal cleanup.
- Rechargeable + light — no dragging a giant steamer.
