    Non Toxic Eyeliner Tip

    Happy Monday ya’ll! I am so pumped to start a brand new week and also have a little bit of alone time while the kids are off to school. By alone time, I totally mean hanging out with Mercy and working while she allows it. Regardless, when you have multiple kids, only having one is like a vacation. It also gives me the time to actually put on makeup. It is pretty awesome when I get to get myself put together and don’t go out in public looking homeless. One of the issues that I had with makeup before I switched to safer is any eye makeup, mascara or eye…

    St Patrick’s Day Ready Thanks to Healthy Human

    I can’t believe that it’s already St. Patrick’s Day! Thanks to Healthy Human, knew it was even around the corner. They spoiled me with a little gift to celebrate the occasion. I used to drink Matcha Latte’s every single morning. But I fell off on a coffee kick. Now that I’ve gotten re-inspired by Healthy Human it’s time to get back to what I love. MATCHA! Have you ever heard of it? Matcha is a very concentrated form of green tea. The way it’s grown and consumed means that it’s packed full of essential vitamins and minerals.

    Ditch the Plastic – Non Toxic Snack Containers

    When transitioning to a non toxic lifestyle, it can be very overwhelming. Most people get stuck and think that they should just switch out everything. The reality is that most people can’t just overhaul every single avenue in their lives. It has to be done piece by piece and remembering this will help you not get overwhelmed. Switching to safer shouldn’t be overwhelming. It’s about progress not perfection and every step you take makes a huge impact. One of the areas that took me a little longer to switch out was plastic storage containers and zip lock bags. I never made this a priority until the kids started going to…

    Why Do You Need a Cleanser?

    As I age, I realize the importance of a good skincare regimen. Growing up, I never even wanted to wash my face and now I cant fall asleep or start my day without the feeling of a fresh, moisturized face. In this post, I want to talk about cleansers, but I’ll touch on the importance of a full regimen. Cleansers are so important because the skin on your face is thin and delicate, and you don’t want to just be moving around the bad stuff (makeup, sweat, dead skin, dirt) instead of removing it. The easiest way to get your skin care in order is by sticking to a regimen.…

    Sometimes I Feel Like a Gypsy

    Happy Wednesday ya’ll! I am so pumped that we are midway through the week. The weather is warming up and I feel like I can come out of my hiding place under seven blankets and live my life outdoors again! JK but formal. I don’t live in the South for any reason other than I like it hot. Now that it is not frigid cold, I can actually venture out and about and look super cute and not like an eskimo. The warmer weather has helped inspire me to switch up my wardrobe and get out of my usual t-shirt and jeans outfit. I mean #momlife I do love rocking…
