Annie’s Favorite Things Vol 4:
Mornings are better when you’re not guessing what’s safe to use. If you’ve got food allergies (or just like knowing what’s actually in your products), here’s a little routine I swear by. Clean, vegan, gluten, and corn-free- from shampoo and curl cream to floss and rice protein powder. Simple, balanced, and allergy-friendly. Because starting the day should feel good, not complicated.
Savonnerie Shampoo and Conditioner
Savonnerie Shampoo and Conditioner has been my go-to for years. The company is super transparent and great with allergies—these products are free of dyes, fragrances, latex, phthalates, parabens, and common allergens like aloe, corn, coconut, dairy, egg, gluten, nuts, soy, and more. Made in the USA, vegan, hypoallergenic, and crafted in a dedicated gluten-free facility, it’s simple, safe scalp care you can trust.
Nuema Curl + Perfecting Creme
This smooth and silky Neuma Curl Perfecting Creme is a lightweight way to define and enhance curls—no matter your curl pattern. It has a gentle coconut scent and is safe for all my allergens, keeping my hair and scalp happy. This creme seals in moisture for soft, frizz-free, touchable curls that look healthy and natural.
Nuema Air Dry Shaper
This air dry shaper is my go-to for adding texture and shine—no heat damage required. It finishes my hair with a subtle citrus and lavender mist, enhancing natural texture while providing soft control and shine. This lightweight, air-dry cream smooths frizz, nourishes, and protects your hair without needing a blow dryer.
Nutribiotic Rice Protein Powder
This Rice Protein Powder is my easy morning go-to when I need a quick protein boost. It’s free of nuts, gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, and animal products, basically all the stuff that usually makes my life complicated. The taste is mild, so it blends right into any smoothie without taking over. Made from brown rice with a special enzyme process, it’s packed with quality vegetarian protein and free from artificial stuff and common allergens. Put the plain into vegetable soup to add additional protein! Clean, simple fuel to start the day right.
Glide Crest Comfort Plus Dental Floss
This floss is gentle on my teeth and gums, something I really need since celiac disease has wreaked havoc on both over the years. It glides effortlessly between teeth, no tugging or wrestling like other brands. I should own stock in Oral-B, the way I I floss after every meal! The waxy feel makes me feel like a flossing pro, and I can finally reach those tricky back teeth without needing to be a contortionist. Plus, the mint flavor is just right—refreshing without being overwhelming. Definitely one I recommend adding to your morning routine.
