Boss Babe
This is a post that’s very near and dear to my heart and I am excited to share it with you today! I try to practice gratitude in my day-to-day life and something I don’t feel like I talk about enough is how GRATEFUL I am to work for Beautycounter. You guys, I can’t POSSIBLY put into words how thankful I am for this company, our leaders, and the products we offer. Working for Beautycounter has changed. my. life. As a mother of 5 very small children, I can only tell you that the thought of making money while working from my iPhone out of my “mom car” seemed like…

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.

I have 4 daughters and it’s crazy to me that their choices for products (makeup in particular) are going to be so limited. While I am grateful…

Must Have Kid Shoes: Freshly Picked Style
This post is in partner with Freshly Picked. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Baby shoes are somewhat of an oxymoron if you ask me. There are many cute shoe brands out there like Nikes and Sperries that make baby and toddler sizes, but what they do not tell you is that they will likely fall off within the first ten minutes of babies wearing them. Freshly Picked Moccasins are the only shoes I suggest for every baby shower, birthday, Easter, and Christmas gifts you buy for all of your littles and their friends, girls and boys. 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…
