Shedding Light On An Important Topic for All Women
October brings leaves falling, festivals, pumpkins and football games but it also brings an important topic to front of everyone’s minds. October is known for being breast cancer awareness month but we often miss the importance of it. Knowledge is power and it’s important to note that a lot of breast cancer diagnoses are linked to exposure to toxic substances. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. (Source: CDC.gov) that’s scary! I don’t know about you, but it seems like cancer is everywhere these days. I know so many people personally affected and it’s absolutely heartbreaking.

Healthy Food Ideas (what I like to eat right now)
Hands down, healthy meal and snack ideas, are one of the most asked about topics from my followers. I can see why because it’s something that I am constantly changing in our diets. Before I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle, I was the queen of cheap and fast food items! The dollar menu was my jam and I could have carried less about the nutritional value. Now that I’m older and wiser (ha) I get to share the many things that I’ve learned along the way and what my go-to meal and snacks are right now. A few years ago, when I started my blog, one of the first things…

My Trip to Four Seasons the Biltmore in Santa Barbara
As many of you have seen via my social media, I visited Santa Barbara at the beginning of September. The trip was special to me for many reasons: it was the first time away from my children, I was around inspiring and powerful women, being able to stay at Four Seasons the Biltmore (duh) and being treated like a queen, eating organic amazing food and knowing that I earned this FREE trip because I worked my butt off for three months and my Beautycounter business is proof of it. I decided to join the Beautycounter movement after trying countless “organic” and “natural” products and being unimpressed by their performance and/or…

Our Homeschool Journey and Lunches Thanks to Planetbox
This post is in partner with PlanetBox. We received this item in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Now that I’ve had a little time to get into a groove with school this year, I am ready to share more about it. I decided I was going to homeschool Nolan, three weeks before he was to start public school. I did this for many reasons but the biggest is that last year, my lifestyle wasn’t respected. It was really hard on me emotionally and Nolan physically with all the junk that was given to him all of…
