What’s in mainstream DEO and what nontoxic brand I swear by
I’m so glad that Beautycounter finally perfected their deo game because their formula is better than any nontoxic deo I’ve ever tried. Just FYI, I’ve tried over 15 brand in my quest for safer deodorant. In case you’re wondering “what is Beautycounter?” this is a brand with a longtime commitment to natural ingredients and sustainable packaging. It’s taken years to formulate the Clean Deos from Beautycounter, but why? Allure Magazine had this to say “The five-year holdup was due in part to Beautycounter’s insistence on housing the new deodorant in recyclable, refillable packaging (a first for the brand). Like many other beauty products, deodorant is often made with mixed materials,…

Back in March 2020, I started getting a monthly Rent the Runway subscription. Rent the Runway is premier designer rental destination that allows you to rent high fashion on trend items, wear them, and swap them for new ones when you’re ready.

The Rent the Runway app is extremely easy to navigate and allowed me to find the clothing for my trip and so much more. I loved it so much that I decided to continue to rent new pieces instead of splurging on…

Pumping 101 + Tips from a Mom of 5
Before I became a mom, I spent a lot of time in researching topics that involved pregnancy, birth and also breast-feeding. I did not take the time to learn anything about the world of pumping and it is a regret I have in my motherhood journey. It’s one of the regrets that I have because after I had my first baby, it was so intimidating to me that I wouldn’t even attempt to pull my pump out. I am so thankful that over the years I’ve learned how to use a breast pump and I definitely feel more confident so that I can in turn share what I know with…

Nontoxic Pots and Pans + Why You Want to Make the Switch
A huge nontoxic transition in your kitchen will be pots, pans and cooking containers like crockpots or an instant pot. This transition was big deal for my family because before we switched to non toxic cookware, we had our college cheap-o pots and pans and a crock pot. I recently added a post on how to shift your entire kitchen over to nontoxic and you can read that by clicking here. What I found during researching what is in our pots and pans and also after watching the Netflix documentary “The Devil We Know,” is that most of the chemicals from everyday cookware leaches into our bodies with each use.…
