My “Healthy Gatorade”
Imagine a healthy version of Gatorade. That’s Drink LMNT. But even better. Electrolytes are important. But why? These are essential minerals that your body needs in certain amounts to function its best. Electrolytes help conduct electricity through water in the body. Every time we sweat, also comes out the minerals in our bodies so it’s very important to replenish them. My household loves LMNT electrolytes because it’s easy, simple and salt-tayyyy. My absolute favorite is the watermelon salt. Personally, when I first tried this, I was like 😖 There’s 1000mg of salt in a packet but once you get used to the taste, you’ll actually crave it. I do suggest…

My Non-Toxic Lipstick Recs
One of the biggest reasons that I am so passionate about clean beauty and skincare is because of the lack of regulation in the beauty industry. As a consumer, I was under the impression that if it was available to purchase in a store, that the products on the shelves were safe for my use but unfortunately that’s not the case. The last major federal law that regulates the beauty industry was passed in 1938 by President Rosevelt. The same beauty industry has grown to $511 billion dollars! That’s a very large market with many ingredients that have not even been tested for human safety. With the lack of regulation,…

Postpartum Self Care From a Mom of Six

If not, you’ll end up feeling burned out, sad and that could lead to postpartum depression.…

A Crunchy Mama’s Postpartum Must Haves
Since the last time we’ve connected, I had my sixth baby. Her birth was fast and furious starting a little after 6 AM on Monday morning and ending at 6:24 AM with her in my arms. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have another Homebirth and for my children to meet her moments after she was born. This week has been all about rest for me and as you’ve probably been able to tell I have not been working as much. I’m doing my best to share all things postpartum in the moment so be sure to follow me on social media to see more. One of the first things that I…
