With brands sending free stuff to the microest of influencers, we decided it’s high time for a roundup series that includes exclusively products that have been purchased and loved outright by people you know, people you follow, and people you’ve definitely heard of. Think of Receipts as a fun-things-only money diaries.
Sometimes your purpose comes when you least expect it. For Beekeeper’s Naturals Founder Carly Kremer, purpose showed up in the form of propolis when she had a case of severe tonsillitis while abroad in Europe. “I would often get sick and none of the over-the-counter remedies worked for me. Then I found propolis, a mix of tree and plant resin created by bees to protect the hive from bacteria and disease, and it was life changing.”
Now, a decade later, Kremer has become a true Queen Bee, disseminating the healing power of the hive among the masses with therapeutic honeys, royal jelly, propolis, throat lozenges, and every day supplements. Even celebrities like Lily Collins are buzzing about it.
Determined to transform the modern-day medicine cabinet, Kremer has become passionate about non-toxic living as a whole. She believes in brands that walk the talk, and more importantly, buzz the buzz (I’m sorry!).

“I use it every single day as my first line of defense. I spray it in the morning, before I get on a plane, and honestly anytime I feel like my immune system needs backup. It's a natural immunity booster packed with over 300 beneficial compounds including vitamins and antioxidants. It's one of our most popular products. We sell a bottle every 15 seconds, and it's like nature's immune shield.”

“I'm constantly working out—whether it's reformer Pilates, weight training, or just trying to keep up with my toddler. I needed workout clothes that could actually keep up with my life. Most activewear is made with synthetic fabrics that are packed with toxins and microplastics, but MATE uses organic cotton and non-toxic dyes, so I'm not absorbing chemicals through my skin while I'm sweating. The quality is incredible. These pieces last forever and don't lose their shape.
I wear these sets for everything from actual workouts to running around with my daughter.”

“Light therapy has solid research behind it for everything from seasonal mood support to skin health. I live in LA now, but I grew up in Canada where winters are brutal, and this has become a non-negotiable for my mental health. I use it in the morning while I'm drinking my coffee and checking emails. It's an easy way to stack healthy habits without adding time to my routine. I notice a real difference in my energy and mood on the days I use it versus the days I skip it.”

“I use this for my daughter. There are so many ‘non-toxic’ hand soaps out there, but this is the most legit non-toxic one I've found. We use it constantly: after playing outside, before meals—basically anytime her hands touch anything questionable. It's truly fragrance-free, not just labeled that way, and the refillable system means less plastic waste. As someone who's spent years building clean supply chains, I respect brands that actually walk the talk on ingredients and sustainability.”

“I'm currently trying to get pregnant with my second child, and the Oura Ring has been incredibly helpful for tracking my cycle. It monitors my basal body temperature, heart rate variability, and sleep patterns—all the data points that help me understand my fertile window. Beyond fertility tracking, it helps me understand how my body is responding to stress, whether I'm actually recovering from workouts, and if I'm getting quality sleep. I really love how the data is incredibly accurate without being invasive. I'm not someone who wants to be constantly checking my phone for health metrics, and the ring just quietly does its thing. It's given me so much more insight into my body than I had before.”

“I take this for cellular health. NAD+ levels decline as we age, and there's robust research showing that boosting NAD+ supports energy production, cellular repair, and healthy aging. I take it every morning with my other supplements. It's part of my non-negotiable routine, especially as I'm thinking about longevity and maintaining my energy as a founder and mom. TruNiagen is the most well-researched NAD+ precursor formula out there. I'm not interested in taking supplements that don't have serious science behind them, and this one does.”

“During COVID, there was so much research done about air filtration and the benefits it can have for filtering airborne viruses. If air filters weren't considered essential before for all their other health benefits, they have to be now for their ability to help us avoid that winter cold or flu. I run this whole-home system constantly. The AirDoctor's UltraHEPA filter is the best on the market. It removes 100% of particles as small as 0.003 microns, which includes viruses, bacteria, and VOCs. I sleep better knowing we're breathing the cleanest air possible.”

“I use these after an intense workout. There's so much good evidence to support the benefits of lymphatic drainage after a workout. These boots help reduce soreness and speed up recovery, which means I can train consistently without breaking down. Post-workout recovery, especially after leg day or a long run, I'll sit in them for 20-30 minutes while I'm answering emails or decompressing.
As someone who's always pushing hard, recovery is just as important as the workout itself.”

“One of the things I've become obsessive about is drinking water quality. I've started writing about health and environmental toxins on Substack, and so much of it comes back to our water quality. All drinking water and cooking water goes through this system. I'm not taking any chances with what my family consumes. The Cloud RO removes contaminants including heavy metals, PFAS, and other toxins that municipal water treatment doesn't catch. Clean water is foundational to everything else I do for my health.”

“I spend way too much time on screens, and the blue light exposure was wrecking my sleep. Research from Harvard shows that blue light suppresses melatonin production more than any other type of light, which throws off your circadian rhythm. These glasses filter out that blue light so my body can actually wind down at night. I wear them every evening starting around 7 or 8 PM, especially if I'm working late or scrolling on my phone. They're also essential when I'm traveling across time zones and trying to reset my sleep schedule.
My husband made fun of me the first time I put them on, but then he noticed I wasn't tossing and turning for an hour trying to fall asleep. Now he has his own pair.”

“This is my sweetener replacement for everything. It's like if sugar was actually good for you. Raw honey is a low glycemic sweetener, which means it doesn't spike your blood sugar the way refined sugar does, and our Superfood Honey is packed with bee pollen, propolis, and royal jelly for added immune and energy support. I put it in my morning coffee, drizzle it on yogurt, use it in salad dressings, and honestly just eat it straight off the spoon when I need a quick energy boost. I also use it as a face mask a few times a week because raw honey has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that are incredible for skin.
The face mask thing sounds crazy, but it's one of the best-kept beauty secrets out there. I leave it on for 15-20 minutes and my skin feels softer and more hydrated afterward. It's basically a spa treatment you can eat.”
