Why We Diffuse Essential Oils and Skip Candles
Hey ya’ll! I am so excited to share another switch to safer that I’ve made in my household and I hope will inspire you to make in yours. When I was pregnant with my first child, Nolan, I kept getting debilitating headaches. I knew nothing about essential oils but when I reached out to a few crunchy mamas, they told me to inhale Peppermint oil and it would help. Ummmmm, WOW! It was a game changer and one that I used a lot during my pregnancy with Frankincense oil for headaches. NOTHING worked for my headaches but these oils and I’m so thankful that I was introduced to them for…

Non Toxic Eyeliner Tip
Happy Monday ya’ll! I am so pumped to start a brand new week and also have a little bit of alone time while the kids are off to school. By alone time, I totally mean hanging out with Mercy and working while she allows it. Regardless, when you have multiple kids, only having one is like a vacation. It also gives me the time to actually put on makeup. It is pretty awesome when I get to get myself put together and don’t go out in public looking homeless. One of the issues that I had with makeup before I switched to safer is any eye makeup, mascara or eye…

Gingham Spring Vibes
I hope that ya’ll have had a great first week post Daylight Savings Time so far! Our schedule has definitely been a little off but guess what ya’ll…. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y SPRING HAS ARRIVED. Or, at least I hope. I need this to happen. Can we make the weather just stay warm? I just cannot wait to have beach days and enjoy sitting outside with the kids while they play. We are planning to head somewhere for Spring Break and I told Derrek that I don’t care where as long as it’s on a beach. Until then, I’ll soak it all in while wearing as many spring dresses as possible. My friend,…

Ditch the Plastic – Non Toxic Snack Containers
When transitioning to a non toxic lifestyle, it can be very overwhelming. Most people get stuck and think that they should just switch out everything. The reality is that most people can’t just overhaul every single avenue in their lives. It has to be done piece by piece and remembering this will help you not get overwhelmed. Switching to safer shouldn’t be overwhelming. It’s about progress not perfection and every step you take makes a huge impact. One of the areas that took me a little longer to switch out was plastic storage containers and zip lock bags. I never made this a priority until the kids started going to…
