Protect your skin… even in the Fall!
It might officially be fall but it is HOT HOT HOT in South Carolina. Before I had kids, I was really lacking knowledge in the sunscreen department. My idea of protection was slathering on Banana Boat body oil and feeling the burn! After I had Nolan, I started researching about sunscreens to use and was shocked at the information I found relating to them. Did you know that most well known sunscreens harbor tons of toxic ingredients? Vitamin A, (aka RETINOL PALMITATE) has been known to speed the development of skin tumors when exposed to sunlight. Another ingredients, Oxybenzone is a common allergen. These two ingredients are in most sunscreens…

Acne Struggles? Try this mask!
I have struggled with acne my entire life. Acne on my face, neck and chest is something that has always been an issue on my skin but I NEVER took the time to even ask why this could be. A few years ago, I decided to dig deeper and that’s when I associated a lot to my personal care products, my diet and then stress.

The process of growing and preparing vanilla is a long and hard process, taking the ethical and sustainable route makes it even harder. I love that Beautycounter is working harder to do…

What’s Your Skin Twin?
Can you believe it only took a bottle of foundation to join as a consultant for the discount? I had no desire to join the Beautycounter movement until I realized how much I loved Beautycounter makeup. I ordered and tried a bottle of the Tint Skin foundation by Beautycounter and that was the first product I tried and one of my all time favorites. Earlier this year, it got a make over and upgraded into a skincare + makeup two in one and it really brought back memories on why exactly I fell in love after just trying ONE product. WHAT IS SKIN TWIN FEATHERWEIGHT FOUNDATION? With 18 buildable shades,…

My Fav Nontoxic Sunless Tanner
This post is in partner with Beauty by Earth. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Many of you do not know this about me but I used to be addicted to tanning. My teenage and early twenties were dedicated to being the tannest I could be and really thriving on being outside without sunscreen and in the tanning bed daily! Not only has this left my 30 year old skin in a state of repair because I now have to fix those issues I caused my self but now that I KNOW BETTER, it leaves me pale. Sometimes, I just don’t…
