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.

How I Live With Psoriasis + What I Did To Heal My Skin
I am not a medical doctor. All things shared are my personal opinion and are what I’ve used in my life and seen results.

Once a week, I try to bake something in the kitchen with my kids. This is something that I’ve done since they were little and they absolutely love it.

My children love to help out in the kitchen, and I think that baking your own sweet treat is a wonderful way to build their confidence and also to let them be involved in the making…

The world has vanilla in more of a demand than ever, requiring over 3,000 tons a year. I had no idea the ins and outs of the vanilla sourcing chain until Beautycounter recently relaunched their Sheer Genius lip sheers and Beyond Gloss lip glosses with ethically sourced vanilla. 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…

We use Fluoride Free Toothpaste and here’s our favorite brand!
This post is in partner with RiseWell Co. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. One of my top health priorities for my kids is their dental health. I didn’t realize how quickly things can go south when it comes to dental health until a few years ago. My older kids have a few cavity issues due to being given hard candy when they visit places like church and school. We are working to actively fix this by taking the proper care of them and working with our local pediatric dentist. This is a topic that I’m learning more and more about…
