Grove: A Simple Way to Switch to Safer
Good morning and happy Monday ya’ll! I am really digging all the switching to safer that ya’ll are pushing forward with during Spring. I know that most of us use Spring as an excuse to clean out our closets, declutter, organize, deep clean and change out things that we want to change. One of the things that I’ve loved helping ya’ll do is switch out your home, beauty and personal care products. I know this can be an overwhelming place to start and I really do commend you for making this a BIG step in changing to a non toxic lifestyle. Finding ways to make this transition easier really does…

Raised Garden Beds and Our Love for Growing Our Food
TGIF Friends! I cannot believe that the weekend is finally upon us and it couldn’t be a more beautiful day. Today, is Mrs. Winnie’s (our nanny — I promise I will share more about her soon) birthday. She loves flowers so we took a special trip to a local greenhouse in town and got all the beautiful plants to decorate with. I also stocked up on a few plants for our garden and I cannot wait to share more about it all with you! When we lived in Lake View and Nolan was around one, we planted our first garden. I remember wanting to do better for our family in…

Why You Want Dew Skin
Hey ya’ll! I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful Spring weather, I know that we have been doing just that over here in South Carolina. Since we are spending most of our time outdoors, SPF protection is key.

I put it on the kids faces as well BUT I cannot put it on my face because it breaks me out. Since I am 30 and my collagen production is done, I’ve got to protect my face from the sun’s aging rays by…

Appaman Must Haves For the Beach
This post is in partner with Appaman. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. We enjoyed our beach trip SO much. I really hated for it to come to an end. We could spend every single day at the beach and it was so relaxing to get away for a little bit and enjoy the nice weather. When I packed us all for the beach, I knew that the kid’s new Appaman swimwear had to come with. I love their brand because the quality is like none other and the kids had the best winter jackets last year because we found them.…

Stinkbug Naturals
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. Stinkbug Naturals has been a lifesaver for my husband, Derrek, and myself. 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 go without. Ummmmm, my husband kindly let…
