What’s in mainstream DEO and what nontoxic brand I swear by
I’m so glad that Beautycounter finally perfected their deo game because their formula is better than any nontoxic deo I’ve ever tried. Just FYI, I’ve tried over 15 brand in my quest for safer deodorant. In case you’re wondering “what is Beautycounter?” this is a brand with a longtime commitment to natural ingredients and sustainable packaging. It’s taken years to formulate the Clean Deos from Beautycounter, but why? Allure Magazine had this to say “The five-year holdup was due in part to Beautycounter’s insistence on housing the new deodorant in recyclable, refillable packaging (a first for the brand).

This is a sponsored post with Wedderspoon. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information.

What I Eat In Day – Ideas For Healthy + Fresh Options
This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I’ll be honest I’ve been really intimidated to sit down and really write out a play-by-play of the foods that I eat. It’s one of the most frequent questions that I asked and every time I sit down at the computer end up freezing up and not writing the whole thing. At this point in my life, I have decided to eliminate all fast foods, most processed foods, and focus on eating organic and fresh high-quality foods. My tastes do change often but I found I always…

I love making it smell GOOD!” I cannot tell you how often I’m asked this exact question when it comes to making this swap for safer 👀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ummmmm, let me whisper a secret in your ear – essential oils.
