5 Easy Steps to a Green Beauty Morning Routine
Alright ya’ll, I’m comin’ at ‘cha hot with my morning look. I don’t share this often, unless you count IG stories. But it’s all for good reason (I hope.) One of the things that I’ve gotten into the habit of since hitting my 30s is a good morning routine. Before I had kids, I’ll just be real… I was lucky to wash my face once every few days. Now, I am loving every minute of my *quick* routine because it really has changed my skin and my health.

Turn Back Time With Countertime
I am ONE DAY away from turning 31 ya’ll! I don’t feel 31 and I surely do not want to look it. Unfortunately for me, I over exposed my skin to the sun for decades. I couldn’t be more upset with myself for the cosmetic damage I’ve caused and really started stressing about cancerous and precancerous moles. After a trip to the dermatologist, I left with a clear bill of health and can fully focus on reducing fine lines and wrinkles on my face, neck, chest and backs of my hands.

Why You Want Dew Skin
Hey ya’ll! I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful Spring weather, I know that we have been doing just that over here in South Carolina. Since we are spending most of our time outdoors, SPF protection is key. Before anyone goes outside, they are sprayed down with the Countersun sunscreen by Beautycounter while protects us from ALL the things outside. You can read more about that here. I put it on the kids faces as well BUT I cannot put it on my face because it breaks me out. Since I am 30 and my collagen production is done, I’ve got to protect my face from the sun’s aging rays by…

My Spring Skin Must Haves
Hey ya’ll! I am so sorry that I didn’t post this yesterday but any week that I travel always throws me off and I am gearing up to head to Arizona for a few days with the leaders of Beautycounter. This is a huge trip for me because I have so many wonderful women that I get to see and catch up and anytime I get to head to a Beautycounter event makes me giddy. With this being said, I am prepping for higher temps (it’s going to be in the upper 80s) and even though a cold front blew threw South Carolina. With warmer weather brings the changing of…
