Why You Should Want My Favorite Ethically Sourced Lipstick
I would love to help you. If you want to read more about my journey with Beautycounter, my beauty routine and what you might want for your skin, click here. The world has vanilla in more of a demand than ever, requiring over 3,000 tons a year. I had no idea the ins and outs of the vanilla sourcing chain until Beautycounter recently relaunched their Sheer Genius lip sheers and Beyond Gloss lip glosses with ethically sourced vanilla. The process of growing and preparing vanilla is a long and hard process, taking the ethical and sustainable route makes it even harder. I love that Beautycounter is working harder to do…

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…

Your quality of life is directly impacted by the foods you eat and the beauty products you use. Everyday, we have the choice to fuel our bodies with what will enlighten us and cause us to feel better inside and out or consume that which will drag us down and keep us in a state of muddled clarity. For so many people in this busy society, it can feel stressful and cause anxiety to figure out the “best” things for our bodies. I opened an email this morning with the tagline “rescue for problematic skin” and it has me thinking about how often we are bombarded with products to fix…

Good Morning
I’ve gotten a few questions about what type of skin care routine I have. Every morning, I have the same routine. I normally wake up at least an hour before the kids do so I can have some “me time.” This is really important to me because I am with them pretty much 24/7, and this mama needs some space to keep my calm. The first thing that I do after brushing my teeth is washing my face. I used to only wash my face after I took a bath a night which was really dumb because throughout the night my face would get really oily and I would end up…
