Nolan’s Coat | Harper’s Coat Here in South Carolina, the temps went from upper 80s to upper 50s overnight. NO JOKE! It might be fall (the season) but it feels like winter!

It’s become a rule that I never leave the house without something to munch on because myself or the kids will want something to eat at some point during the time we are out and about.

This always interests me because some women truly care about that over safety and two because I have found the holy grail of high performing AND non toxic makeup. Beautycounter is changing the beauty industry by bridging the gap between performance and safety and EVERYONE is digging the results. Even VOGUE is taking notice! “When Minnie Mortimer dropped by the Vogue offices the other day, we couldn’t help but notice her supernaturally healthy glow. Her secret: Beautycounter, the new line…
