Productive + Healthy Day in My Life | nourishing food, habits and mindsets

[@ItsJeniferT]

Normal is good! Thank you for being one of the few content creators who promote normal things as a good thing in life. I'm happy your channel is growing and also you are staying home. Lots of hugs.

[@margaretmatheny]

Thank you Jenifer! You truly don't know how much these words mean. Feeling so encouraged by you and everyone who takes the time to lift me up over here. have a lovely day!

[@sherigreen2961]

Your son's prayer melted my heart! Absolutely love and look forward to your channel every week. God bless your family Margaret.

[@janeendaftary8911]

I’m turning 60 this year and your channel has been such a huge blessing to me!!! I’ve incorporated many of your ideas into my life and have already seen quite a difference. Love doing the simple journal every day and loving the mundane has become my new mantra. I’m taking better care of myself, eating better and going to bed earlier and resting when I need to. I was not good at that before. You are a truly beautiful person on the inside and out. Keep up the great work!! I’m also a believer so I appreciate your faith input as well. God bless you and your beautiful family. We live in PA now but are from St Louis 😃💕

[@margaretmatheny]

Janeen, I wish you could see my face. These words are so kind and encouraging. I'm truly touched that I can support you in this stage of life. And you're from St. Louis? Small world! Love it here.

[@mtoffel1]

I hit "subscribe" as soon as you started plucking your eyebrows in your car 🤣, you are MY kind of people. So tired of KZbinrs that are playing to the camera and not REAL. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!!! I recently lost my minimalist way (covid man, I turned to online shopping to distract and get through) and feel like I need to return to it to come back to myself. I'm overwhelmed with stuff lately. Happy to have found your channel! You do you girl!!

[@margaretmatheny]

hahahaha I'm dying! I'm so glad that spoke to you and I'm so glad you're here. Thanks for the encouraging words!!

[@DannyAz2]

Margaret, I recently started watching your channel. I'm from Argentina, and your simple style of living makes me wanna make it my own. Thanks for sharing!

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah thank you for sharing this, Daniela! I'm so glad you found our little corner of the internet! Have a lovely day.

[@rhonnelsimms6550]

I also like Navitas cocoa and gogi berry power snacks, GoMacro bars, fronen frozen yogurt (I add topping like coconut flakes, Navitas cocoa nibs, usually sweetened and fruits), GoRaw pumpkin seeds (other places have sunflower-they are sprouted), and Three Trees almond milk… the coconut chunks look good, and I like lemon water (.5 sliced lemon per cup) with chia seeds…I stir twice (.5 teaspoons per cup, then let sit overnight in the fridge and add monk fruit sweetener for taste, sometimes). 13:54 13:59

[@joyking7609]

I teared up when your son was praying at the dinner table❤

[@emmasnow1839]

Your videos are so refreshing and uplifting! ✨please go into more detail about your lotions and beauty products you use! Really trying to find good natural alternatives! Thank you, you are a light 💗

[@margaretmatheny]

I can do that here soon! THanks so much

[@doublea6252]

Yep! I can only have like one "very productive day" each week. So much of what you say describes me so much. I have 7 kiddos that I homeschool, so I have learned that I have to take breaks often to go be alone (as much as possible!😂) in my room for bits of time here and there! My body cannot handle being very busy all the time. I used to see it as a downfall, because I wished that I could be a mom that could do all the things and go go go...but I now see it as a gift to my kids that we have a less busy schedule than most and our house is minimal so it isn't overwhelming in such an overwhelming world. Thanks for sharing!💛

[@margaretmatheny]

7!! Wow, my dream! Yes, gosh not many bodies would be able to handle what you do. I'm glad it resonated. You're doing the most important work. I'm glad you're here and thanks for sharing!

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

Yes! I’m made of the same fabric...busy and hurry hurts. Sincerely value and benefit from all you share - thank you. ❤️

[@margaretmatheny]

Thank you, I'm so touched to hear those words. Wishing you a lovely, lovely day.

[@Emily-es6zo]

I literally started crying when your oldest said “I like you mom” I’m on my period and a boy mama soooo…..all the feelings haha♥️♥️😭

[@izarawanjiru]

Like your vibe of your KZbin channel it has a peacefulness over it and just makes sense not to much drama like a lot of the channels this days your just chill calm to watch and that's refreshing to watch 🤗💕.

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah thank you so so much. those words are so encouraging!

[@izarawanjiru]

@@margaretmatheny Love from The Netherlands 💕

[@amywiddowson3098]

You have such a calming voice. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

[@jIlLiAnganz]

Post up and pluck! #relatable haha. LOVE your personality and willingness to share Margaret. You're a light.

[@jacquelinev963]

I just found your channel and subscribed!! Your personality is so relatable! Thank you for the reminder of not always needing every day to be productive day and to live simply and enjoy the slow moments. Your son's prayer was very precious 🥲❤

[@SunshineBloom777]

Hahaha I’m so happy to know I’m not the only one who HAS to do my eyebrows in the car! The lighting there is just it LOL ✨☀️

[@lamiarabnawaz2052]

I've just found your channel and I can't get enough of it. I loveeeee your vibes and philosophy and energy. Also, literally trying to find what are your background songs cuz they're amazing.

[@mamabeth48]

I'm so thankful for your videos and your honesty! Thank you for "beautifying" the mundane!

[@krisvanallen]

Explaining how you have changed your view on meals reminds me of a friend of mine said: “food is just fuel.”

[@edithmolina2045]

New to your channel and I gotta say thank you because you have inspired me to just enjoy my life I have 5 sisters so I have always compared myself to them and seeked approval but recently I just a stopped and just started to live my life..

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah, this made me emotional. Thanks for sharing. I'm so touched that I could be a part of your journey.

[@emmycahill]

Feel like I've had a productive day just through watching yours 😆🙌❤

[@margaretmatheny]

hahaha Oh good I'm so glad 😂

[@sandiewilson7975]

Thanks for another great video. Childless grocery shopping. I remember that. It's been a long while, I should do that this week. I'll pick up the ingredients for that adrenal juice while I'm at it.

[@margaretmatheny]

hahaha childless grocery shopping is a gift from heaven!

[@hadassahshilliff9746]

Thank you for saying productive days are exhausting! It clicks😂 How did I not realize this before!?😂😂😂

[@nickyholland8378]

I keep tweezers in my car for that exact reason! You can see so much better in natural light. Great video.

[@margaretmatheny]

hahaha, welp now I know! Thanks so much

[@therecianmcpherson1298]

Hi Margaret your videos make me so happy as a viewer your content is changing people's minds and lives u are the best KZbinr ever thank u for making the content that u do

[@linseygabaldon2033]

Hi Margaret, another lovely video. I found the perfect butter dish on Amazon (of course) from the DOWAN store (all caps). It’s ceramic white with a wooden lid, very simple and pretty. It holds two sticks of butter. We’ve had it for about a year and it’s been so perfect!

[@margaretmatheny]

ah thank you so much, Linsey!

[@nativeari]

Wow those jeans are amazing. Thanks for sharing! Which style were they?

[@CoolChick09090]

Margaret! Loved this video! I love that you find joy in the mundane and a lot of what you said in the car resonated with me as well! The prayer that your son prayed was so sweet! :)

[@margaretmatheny]

Yes, he is the sweetest! Can't believe we caught it on video

[@katie3700]

The SWEETEST prayer!! I always love to hear what comes out of my babies’ mouths - just too cute!! Madewell is one of my favorites to get clothing! I used to thrift a lot but besides my $1000 retail 100% cashmere coat I once found for $10 (😳) I’ve realized that I waste a lot of time and money. since I’ve minimalized my wardrobe- I’m only getting what I need and in return, it lasts me longer! Hope y’all are having a great week!!

[@margaretmatheny]

Yes, when I watched it back, I cried!! He's so sweet.

[@katelyndicarlo9056]

I just found your channel and have been binging all your videos! Feeling very inspired to simplify my life from watching them ❤️❤️

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah thank you so much. I'm so glad you're here!

[@ArielChadwick]

Thank you for sharing your grocery haul! We are huge eaters here too - I'm a breastfeeding mama and was a little shocked to find out I need like 3,000 calories a day. 😆 Hubby does construction and is in constant motion. Anyway, I try as hard as I can to fill us up with the most nourishing things possible! Soaked white rice cooked in bone broth, potatoes, bananas, oranges, eggs (every day lol), sourdough bread, raw milk, and pasture-raised meats are our staples. ❤

[@debbiejohnson3723]

Recently found your channel, I am from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so happy I’ve found it I was a new mum end of 2020 and decided in late 2021 I wanted to become more minimal and reduce the clutter in my life! I’ve watched so many of your videos the last few days and loved them all! Can’t wait to watch more 💜

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah I'm so glad you're here!! Thanks for sharing!

[@ElizabethCall]

Where did you get your shirt? It’s adorable!

[@carolresen]

How cute was that prayer! 😍🙏 I love your channel, you inspire me! Greetings from Brazil 😊

[@danielle_rb]

Hi Margaret! I just subscribed and have been loving your videos. What brand is the aromatherapy tallow face moisturizer you use? I'm pregnant and my skin has been so dry and I've been wanting to try a tallow based moisturizer!

[@dstephenson6144]

I need a butter dish, too!☺️. 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻

[@angelakimov384]

Went and bought myself some beef tallow to smear on my face right after this video lol not kidding. Your lovely complexion sold me

[@margaretmatheny]

hahahaha YES. I love hearing this! Tallow is king.

[@rebekahmalcom2500]

How often do you put the tallow on your skin? Also, your son’s prayer melted my heart!! 🥰love love love

[@margaretmatheny]

Every night! And yes, gosh when I watched it back, I got so emotional!

[@corinnenoelle]

Love your videos and literally binged them ALL! Love your lifestyle and mindset as a mom and just being healthy and being content and living in the mundane. Curious about the kids detox?

[@margaretmatheny]

ah thank you!!! Yes, we got them tested through Nutrition Response Testing. That's where we found out they were blocked by mold. Very interesting and helpful!

[@shelbyw1448]

I got a cute butter dish at Walmart it’s white with a wooden top and fits 4 sticks in it lol.

[@margaretmatheny]

Oh thank you!!! So helpful.

[@rachelverratti6193]

Better Homes & Gardens Porcelain Embossed Butter Dish from Walmart going strong 2 years. Simple, never see the mess because it’s so deep. 🙌🏻

[@saragoetze6204]

Butter dish- Butterbell :) Your videos help me so much. Put me back in touch with my parasympathetic nervous system. Mom of two sending hugs from San Diego ❤️

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah, sending hugs right back. I'm so glad you're here and touched, truly touched that I can help calm your system. What a compliment. Such uplifting words! Thanks for sharing, Sara.

[@Lindseyscozycorner]

I recently discovered your channel and am so glad that I did :)

[@katherineherbison8494]

Love these videos as always! Love tallow for my skin too - it's amazing! What brand do you use again? Also, what's your fave hair products?

[@margaretmatheny]

I use my Beautycounter products for shampoo and conditioner!

[@EliseWood]

Walmart is where I got my butter dish…it’s white w a wood lid and says butter on it Also where do you get your ton toxic candles from? I use beeswax ones but want more variety

[@amyroy2132]

Loved this!

[@margaretmatheny]

Thans Amy!

[@melissalengyel5868]

Would love to know what you spent on the groceries

[@wendyzazgad4418]

The sun is magic,the food shopping is expensive there x

[@margaretmatheny]

yes it's sadly so expensive:(

[@unraveledmotherhood]

Thanks for the remind to make an adrenal cocktail 😅❤️

[@claireadams2448]

Check out the Sweese airtight butter dish on Amazon :) white porcelain with a wood lid

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah looooving this already. Thank you!

[@kendrapamerlee9395]

Where is your bag from?

[@katarinagreer]

loved this vlog! You are so funny, kind, and sweet - can't wait to watch some of the decluttering videos you have made...need to do a spring clean! and do you follow Kori Meloy? because you know about mitigate stress & the adrenal cocktail :) I do the adrenal cocktail daily and love it! has helped so much with nourishing my body amongst other things :)

[@Mama2Gingers]

All the jeans looked great on you! I also like sunlight on my face. My family teases me about it. If we go somewhere to eat, a library, etc where you choose where you can sit, everyone else chooses a darker space. I pick the spot where the sun is almost blinding me. 🤷‍♀️😂 The beautiful, sweet prayer literally melted me. Loved it 🥰

[@KristinaGreenwood]

A butter bell off of Amazon. No specific brand.

[@ashleybailey5473]

Do you have a video on supplements for a co-exhausted working mom of littles? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I got my all white, simple butter dish at Ross for $3 :) Not sure if you have a Ross near you, but I would definitely check it out.

[@margaretmatheny]

[@corinnenoelle]

Forgot to ask where do you get your tallow moisturizer from? What are the benefits of it?

[@margaretmatheny]

Smear is the name of the company! They've got all that info on their site!

[@lauraroth5776]

Which specific smear facial product do you use?

[@margaretmatheny]

Bridal

[@victoriajohnson3034]

[@victoriajohnson3034]

I only set 1 thing on my productivity goal. Do one a day so i never have to push crazy

[@wendyzazgad4418]

It was a day and a half honey but you did great well done x

[@margaretmatheny]

[@aplacecalledthere]

I need the adrenal cocktail! 🍹

Loved this video

I tried to use the paiper code and it wouldn't work 😭

[@margaretmatheny]

[@ssarabia2124]

Can you share what book your reading?

Yes, it's called Would like to Meet. It's clean and cute!

[@meganward192]

Check Food52 for great quality butter dishes that last a long time. I have the French Ceramic Butter Keeper but you may like the white Handmade Ceramic Butter Dish. I also love handmade items from Etsy!

[@evalindell2757]

You certainly don’t look haggered and your husbands name isn’t Eathan and has no assistant I hope 😂

[@margaretmatheny]

hahaha nope, not his name! And thanks
