How Our Pack and Play Makes Life Easier
This post was sponsored by Guava Family. All opinions and reviews are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. To say that we love summer is a BIG understatement. My kids and I live and breathe summer. I know that the heat is something that takes getting used to but honestly, we go to the pool or the beach everyday (and we even have a kiddie pool for them to cool off in whenever they want) so it doesn’t bother us that much. I would take a hot and humid day any day over freezing cold rain and no sun. Nolan learned how to swim last summer…

Switching to Safer Beauty is Easy as One, Two, Three
About three years ago, I researched what ingredients are commonly used in makeup and became absolutely horrified! Things like parabens, fragrance, PEGs were listed my “ALL NATURAL” and “ORGANIC” products and their side affects are a mile long! It first it scared me, then it made me furious. Why would our government allow this? Then it all clicked. MONEY! If we as a nation became healthy and didn’t have health problems, it would put a lot of people out of business.

Reflecting on my Beautycounter Journey
It blows my mind, thinking about the difference in my life two years ago to today. I had just started blogging and was a few years into my health journey.

I just couldn’t make the connection that Christi was dangling my “sign” right in front of my face. It look me months of…

It’s no secret that I am really obsessed with Hazel and Mae Boutique.

I am jumping on the off the shoulder and pom pom trend for summer and I couldn’t be happier. When I saw this dress on the Hazel and Mae Boutique website, I knew I had to have it! This dress…

My Makeup and Skincare Routine
I sit here, at my computer, reminiscing about the times in college that I would sit in front of my bathroom mirror and spending HOURS upon hours doing my hair and makeup. But let me just get real, those days are LONG gone! Not only is my skin starting to show a little age and sun damage from baking outside every summer but my dark circles match my coffee. I get asked a lot about my routine and the truth is that I like to use a small amount of products that make a big impact. When I transitioned to a non toxic lifestyle, I was so overwhelmed with the different…
