Worry-free deodorant by Stinkbug Naturals
This post has been compensated by Stinkbug Naturals. All opinions are my own, please read my disclaimer page for more information. When I transitioned to a non toxic lifestyle, finding a deodorant free of chemicals but controls BO has been challenging. After five years, I can finally say that I found one that meets my standards. Stinkbug Naturals has been a lifesaver for my husband, Derrek, and myself. 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. Parabens, which are preservatives used…

Reflecting on my Beautycounter Journey
It blows my mind, thinking about the difference in my life two years ago to today. I had just started blogging and was a few years into my health journey. Finances were not great but improving from our lowest point and I was constantly wondering what could I do to provide financially for my family.

Life With Three Kids
Being a mom isn’t all butterflies and rainbows. It’s hard. Especially when you don’t have a family that helps and gives you a break every now and then.

Investing In My Family and Small Businesses
Now that I am a mom, and have two little girls of my own, I am constantly reflecting on my childhood and what I want them to experience and not experience. It’s not that I want them to live in a bubble and not go through anything but I definitely wish that I can shelter them a little. I really can’t even watch the news anymore from all of the craziness that’s happening in the world but people share news stories on social media all the time so I do get glimpses of what’s happening. It’s something that would consume my every thought if I let it so, I…
