    Why I Suggest Buying a Live Christmas Tree

    It genuinely interests me to find new ways to decrease my toxic load. I know that it’s impossible to completely phase out every single toxin but I am a firm believer that small changes make a big impact. This brings me to a great way we could also decrease our toxic load this season. Growing up, we always had artificial trees in our home but when I met Derrek he was so persistent on buying a real tree for our first Christmas. I was so irritated at him because I was always told it was a fire hazard. Little did I know, he knew better than me. It kills me…

I actually threw away my old juicer when we moved back in March because a piece was broken during our move.

    The PERFECT Girl Gift

    I can’t believe that it’s already time for a countdown to Christmas! I’m not gonna pretend like I’m that lady who has her life together and already has everyone’s Christmas lists shopped for. What I have been able to do is pick up a lot in the past month and I’m so excited about it. One of the ways I did that was by shopping on Beautycounter’s website for gifts. I have a lot of women to shop for (my daughters, nieces and sisters) and they all love makeup so it makes it easier on me to shop. Beautycounter always has the most amazing holiday collection and this year is…
