    My Experience With Microshading

    Raise your hand if you fell victim to over-plucking your eyebrows during your college years… ME!!!!  Y’all.. I can’t even explain to you how badly over-plucked my brows were during that time in my life! I wish I had known the irreversible damage I was causing! I was unaware that eyebrow hair is very sensitive and is often hard to grow back especially after repeated “abuse.” Not only did I pluck them, I spent years waxing and causing even more damage. Ever since then, I have been drawing them on and doing my best to make them as even and natural-looking as possible. Let me just tell you, I spend way…

    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.

No matter who the recipients are,…

    Babywearing – a Motherhood Must

    Babywearing is something that I do every single day. It’s how I accomplish cleaning, cooking or running errands. Looking back at being a first time mom, I really struggled more than I needed to because I didn’t babywear but I didn’t know anything about it at that point. During the newborn phase, there is nothing better than putting on a wrap and feeling your little squish pressed against you like they are still in the womb. Derrek and myself have started babywearing more and more after each baby we add to the family. I started wearing Scarlet Reese the day after she was born and would wear her pretty much…

    Five Must Have Items for Your First Week Postpartum

    This post is in partner with Kindred Bravely. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please visit my disclaimer page for more information. You just had a baby… now what?!
