    THE TRUTH ABOUT MICA

    This post is one that I have been excited to talk about for a long time. You all know that one of the reasons I have chosen to pursue a career with Beautycounter is the mission that we are working towards. The laws regulating the personal care industry are severely outdated meaning that there are very few products on the market that are actually “safe.” It makes it very hard to find products that meet the standards I have set for my family.

    Owlet Baby Monitor Gives This Mama Peace of Mind

    When you’re a brand new mom, you’re taught to worry about your baby when they sleep. Well, guess what? That worry never goes away! Even when you’re a 5-time mom like me, you still worry! For decades, parents have used baby monitors for peace of mind when the baby is out of view. When you think of a baby monitor, you often think of a walkie-talkie shaped device that often-times now has a video screen to see the baby. With a camera set up in the baby’s room, you are able to see and hear the baby which makes for a much better night’s sleep for parents. A video monitor…
