How I’m Transitioning to a Clean Wardrobe (And Why It Matters)
This is something I’m only just now tackling in my non-toxic lifestyle and I’ve been on this journey for 13 years. Clean food, clean beauty, clean air, clean water… but my clothing? It hadn’t clicked for me until recently that what we wear daily is just as important. I used to think: “Well I eat organic and use safe products… isn’t that enough?” But the truth is, your skin is your largest organ and it’s absorbing what you’re putting on it all day long. And most modern clothes are made of plastic. What Is Polyester (and Why Should We Care)? Let’s break it down.Polyester is a synthetic fiber made from petroleum-derived plastic.

Why I Decided To Get Hair Extensions Postpartum After Baby Number 6
In early January, I decided to take the plunge and get hair extensions and I absolutely LOVE them. You’re probably wondering why I would do something like this so here it goes… For the past ten years, I’ve been pregnant or postpartum and my hair has seen better days. Every single time I have a baby, my hair goes through a major shedding stage to where I’m left with legit large bald spots and regrowth that looks like someone got a pair of scissors and gave me Barbie bangs.

DipWell: my favorite salon alternative for gorgeous nails
One thing that I absolutely love to have done is my nails. I have always loved a beautiful pop of color on my fingernails and for the longest time I used traditional nail products. From doing my own at home manicures to going to a salon, I’ve learned a lot about what’s in traditional nail polishes and dip powders and because of that I decided to look and find a non-toxic option. After my search I found several brands that I tried myself. Some I didn’t love so much and others I absolutely adore. Here are the ones that we use in our household: As much as I love painting…

Styling for Fall in the South
I don’t now about where you live but in South Carolina, it doesn’t get cold until closer to December. Every year I find myself falling into the trap of wearing a sweater or boots thinking that it will be cold all day, only to have it warm up by lunch and I’m sweating to death and regretting that decision. This year I decided to play it smart by just wearing fall colors instead of full on fall gear. I also decided to consult with my friend, Leah, owner of Mosaic Boutique, in Florence, SC on her top tips for styling for fall in the South. Check out what she had…
