My Makeup Routine with Three Little’s
dress | shoes | makeup As a mom, I tend to put myself last. Everything that I try to do for myself always falls to the back burner and I end up tapped out and raising my white flag. I rarely get out of yoga pants and a comfy vneck tshirt but when I do decide to leave the house, I am thankful for a quick makeup routine that helps me look a little less like a mombie. When Derrek and I actually had a date (these don’t happen enough and I want to make sure we do this more often) last weekend, I was able to dress up and…

My “Why”
A few years ago I began my journey into a more natural life, and one of the ways I started this was by changing my makeup routine. I threw away all of my drug store Maybelline, Cover Girl and even my beloved Clinique products. I did so visiting the Environmental Working Group website and flipping out over how toxic the ingredients were that I was applying to my skin daily! The Skin Deep database is a great online resource that lists the chemical ingredients of thousands of products, and highlights a few of the worst on the list.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, over 5,000 different fragrance chemicals — in countless combinations — are used in products today. While every other specific ingredient used in personal care products must, by law, be listed…

The Outfit That Everyone Needs
Last week on my blog, I shared the outfit that you can find me wearing pretty much any day throughout the week. This week, I am sharing the outfit that everyone should invest in for summer. This outfit is SO cute, very comfortable and pairs well with other pieces of your wardrobe so you can wear them many different ways throughout the season. A pair of white skinny jeans should be at the top of every lady’s outfit list for Spring and Summer. There are SO many ways to dress them up or down, wear them with flats or heels, colors or neutrals. The possibilities are endless and finding the…

My “Go-To” Summer Look
tank | shorts | clutch | makeup | shoes As much as I would love to make ya’ll believe that I dress up seven days a week, I think ya’ll could spot a fake from a mile away. I have three small children so when I do make it out of yoga pants THIS is the outfit that I find myself wearing most. Last month, my friend, team member and owner of the Paisley Pearl, Whitney McGee, hosted a Beautycounter event at her boutique. Luckily, I was able to attend and enjoy a night out talking about safer beauty and shopping. In her boutique she has an entire clothing rack for…
