The Down Low on Baby Wearing
Baby wearing is something that I do every single day. It’s how I accomplish cleaning, cooking or running errands. I didn’t know a thing about baby wearing until Nolan was about 6 months old and wow it is a total game changer for a mom. It is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier. It has been practiced for centuries around the world. By baby wearing, I am able to accomplish so much more because my babies will sleep peacefully verses just cry every time I tried to lay them down and do anything. I could clean my house, get…

Unless you’ve been under a rock this week, you’ve seen in my stories that Beautycounter released their newest product, The All Bright C Serum. I cannot tell you how excited when I got to sample this product a few months before the release because I just knew it was going to become a crowd favorite!

As a Managing Director, I have around 500 women on my team that I spend time coaching, mentoring and just uplifting every single day. In addition to my amazing team, I also try to…

Hormone Disruption from Household Products
Today, we’re talking about hormone disrupting chemicals and what I’ve learned about them so far. These types of chemicals are literally all around us. They can be in the air we breathe, the products we use in our homes and on our bodies, and in the food and drinks we consume. So what exactly are hormone disruptors, and what are they doing to our bodies? Hormone disruptors (also called endocrine disruptors or EDs in scientific literature), are chemicals that act on your hormonal system.

Stinkbug Naturals
I’ve been a lover of Stinkbug Naturals for several years now. It is my favorite nontoxic deodorant and trust me, I’ve tried them all! Most non toxic deodorants don’t work or cause skin irritation due to the baking soda ingredients. I’m thankful for Stinkbug because it’s effective and also isn’t crazy expensive. 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. After looking at the many different deodorants and their ingredients in my bathroom drawer, I tossed them all and decided to…
