The Importance of Staying Positive
Why are you viewing photos of me meditating and going through a yoga flow when the topic of this blog is about being positive? Because the first thing I want to do every time I see these photos is to critique myself. But guess what, this body deserves some love and positivity. It’s carried 5 babies, almost 31 years of living and hopefully will keep me on this earth for a very long time. I write this as I’m sitting on the floor of my bedroom after getting my 6 month old to nap. I’m tired, worn out, stretched thin, million things on my to do list, and feeling thirsty…

All Bright C Serum
Unless you’ve been under a rock this week, you’ve seen in my stories that Beautycounter released their newest product, The All Bright C Serum. I cannot tell you how excited when I got to sample this product a few months before the release because I just knew it was going to become a crowd favorite!

I haven’t been this excited about a product since the launch of the Overnight Resurfacing Peel . This is the product that literally changed the quality/texture of my skin…

Hormone Disruption from Household Products
Today, we’re talking about hormone disrupting chemicals and what I’ve learned about them so far. These types of chemicals are literally all around us. They can be in the air we breathe, the products we use in our homes and on our bodies, and in the food and drinks we consume.

Stinkbug Naturals
I’ve been a lover of Stinkbug Naturals for several years now. It is my favorite nontoxic deodorant and trust me, I’ve tried them all! Most non toxic deodorants don’t work or cause skin irritation due to the baking soda ingredients. I’m thankful for Stinkbug because it’s effective and also isn’t crazy expensive. I have always been a “stinky” girl, to the point that I had prescribed antiperspirant when I was in college. I’ve bounced around from brand to brand and found that the most toxic deodorant would cover my smell. After looking at the many different deodorants and their ingredients in my bathroom drawer, I tossed them all and decided to…
