    Why Beautycounter? Because we deserve better!

    I started using Beautycounter almost three years ago when one of my friends started talking to me about the products. I’ve tried lots of “natural” and “organic” brands since changing my lifestyle and they never met my standards. Organic doesn’t always mean safe. Lead, mercury, arsenic. You can have a tube of organic lipstick, that doesn’t mean there isn’t lead in it. After downloading the “Healthy Living” app, I found out that the reason why was because those products that were labeled as safe and non toxic were the exact opposite. I encourage you to download the app for yourself, start plugging in your beauty products and see what exactly…

    Blessed by warmer South Carolina weather

    shirt | jeans | boots | lip | necklace Y’all, I am so happy I could do a little dance. After an entire week, my husband is finally home! He had to take a work trip and for six days it was just me and the kids. We made it through but it was tough. I took a break from social media last weekend because the kids just needed my full attention and it was much appreciated. My appreciation for single parents or ones with spouses overseas grows bigger by the minute and being alone with the kids for almost a week directed a lot of my thoughts towards them!…

    Anyone get FOMO? It’s something that I struggle with. Social media has a way of making it worse. Scrolling someone’s feed and seeing their beautiful vacation pictures, perfect homes and brand new cars.

I have days where I get so angry that my life isn’t as picture perfect as others. It’s so easy to get into a negative headspace when you are comparing your journey to someone else’s. That sentence really puts it into perspective doesn’t it? Your journey…

    Feeling Like Spring

    top | leggings | booties ( sold out) | necklace | lip | cup Happy Hump Day y’all! I cannot believe we are already halfway through the week but I’ll take it. South Carolina has been blessed with some fabulous weather and I have been soaking it in by spending as much time as possible outdoors. This past weekend I had a meeting and I decided that it was the perfect time to wear this outfit. I’ve gotten so many compliments on this tank from Thisle and Finn, I cannot tell you how excited I am to style it different ways through Spring and Summer. It’s only $30 and I’ve got…

    Olive You – A Letter To my Mini-Me

    Harper’s dress | shoes | my dress | boots | jewelry Dear Harper, I cannot believe we are days away from your third birthday. Time has flown by since the first moment I held you in my arms. You entered this world like a hurricane and continue to run circles around me, daily. I call you my little sour patch kid because I never know what I am gonna get when it comes to your sassy self. You could be the sweetest little angel and the most mischievous little one within seconds of each other. You make me laugh and test my patience more than anyone I have ever met.…
