Switching to Safer Beauty is Easy as One, Two, Three
About three years ago, I researched what ingredients are commonly used in makeup and became absolutely horrified! Things like parabens, fragrance, PEGs were listed my “ALL NATURAL” and “ORGANIC” products and their side affects are a mile long! It first it scared me, then it made me furious. Why would our government allow this? Then it all clicked. MONEY! If we as a nation became healthy and didn’t have health problems, it would put a lot of people out of business. This would also keep us from having to constantly make trips to the doctor for new medications for all of our medical problems. The US only bans 30 ingredients…

#Forbetterbeginnings with my Third Baby
This post is sponsored by PlaytexBaby. All options are my own. Please visits my disclaimer page for more information. Life with three children can be very hectic but is so rewarding at the same time. I have learned to appreciate both sides of the coin. Being a mom is the most important thing that I could ever be and I want my children to know how much they are loved. When the older two kids are on a playdate with their friends, I like to spend one-on-one time with Scarlet Reese. She is all over the place because she is crawling, standing and could start walking any day. Not only…

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.

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. At the same time, this gorgeous little blonde lady, named Christi Hucks, kept sending me private messages on my social media telling me that I would make a wonderful voice for the Beautycounter mission and I kept completely disregarding her. I just couldn’t make the connection that Christi was dangling my “sign” right in front of my face. It look me months of…

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. When I was a year old, my parents got a divorce so, I’ve never known what a solid family dynamic was. As I type this, I have tears in my eyes because it overwhelms me with emotions. Something that is very important to me, is that my kids don’t grow up the way that I did. For many reasons, we live an attachment parenting lifestyle. This is a parenting philosophy that proposes methods which aim to promote the attachment of mother and…
