Still drinking tap water? STOP! Do this instead.
This post is in partner with Crystal Quest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Happy Monday ya’ll! I know that even though I am feeling suppperrrr tired from a long night of no sleep (thank you teething!) I’m super pumped because we finally got our Crystal Quest under the sink water filtration system installed! It has taken me months to get an electrician and plumber to our house to do the job – I started the process during their “busy season” of course! I’ve wanted to do this for quite sometime now. We’ve been using water filters on the faucet and…

This is how I do: Beautycounter Socials
Beautycounter is a skincare and beauty company founded by a woman named Gregg Renfrew. She started the brand after realizing that so many personal care products are not as regulated as many people think — in fact, many products contain ingredients linked to cancer, reproductive issues, and hormone disruption, all without ever informing consumers. Unlike the FDA, Beautycounter has banned more than 1,500 unsafe ingredients (many of which are banned by the European Union), creating one of the highest standards in the beauty industry. Beautycounter also rigorously screens all of their ingredients, working with scientists and industry leaders to reduce the exposure to toxic chemicals and develop safer alternatives. They also choose ingredients that…

The Perfect Dress for Your Maternity Wardrobe
It’s crazy how summer just keeps flying by, am I right? Shewww, I feel like it just warmed up and now it’s almost time for school to start again! I know most people normally complain about summer and how awfully hot it is, and trust me, South Carolina feels like we are legit right beside the sun but I love it. I thrive best in summer and especially while pregnant! As long as I can wear a dress, I’m a-oh-k. There’s a saying that goes “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” And that is the case for my pregnancy staples. I have always been super pregnant during the summer…

Happy Friday ya’ll! I don’t know about you but I am BEYOND excited for the weekend to be here. We have fun plans with friends and family so it gives us extra excitement for the upcoming days. The weekend brings a lot of experimenting with new recipes which makes my foodie heart happy. I’ve gotten a ton of requests about this recipe from last week that I shared on my instagram.

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. I never realized how toxic our personal care products really were until I started looking into the ingredients when…
