Psoriasis 101
I don’t know if y’all know this or not but I suffer from an autoimmune disease called Psoriasis. I’ve had this for as far back as I can remember but it wasn’t until recently that I knew what I was dealing with. Psoriasis is described as a common issue that people can get from genetics, vaccine reactions or triggered by something in their environment and is called an inflammatory disease. The symptoms are very itchy patches of bumpy and inflamed red skin that turn into scaly type scabs. Now that I know what it is, I can see the things I do (and use) that can cause flare ups. I…

How To: Switch to a Nontoxic Lifestyle
The reason that I created this blog is to be a resource for the people around me. I know from experience how hard transitioning to a non toxic lifestyle can be – with NO guidance. I did it. I was a poor college student and I just started making changes. I didn’t know much of anything, other than I wanted to lose weight and not be depressed or anxious anymore. That was ALL that I knew. I share that because a) anyone can do this, it just takes a mindset of wanting to, b) you don’t have to switch everything at once, c) that’s what this blog is for! I…

What to Steer Clear From at the Grocery Store
Hey ya’ll! I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far! I know that the weather in South Carolina went from Spring to scorching hot Summer VERY quickly but we are enjoying it by spending a lot of time at the beach and the pool.

It’s helped me find new hiding places in my house to ratio snacks (#momlife) and get back to a cleaner and more healthy grocery store haul.Your food is your…

I know this can be an overwhelming place to start and I really do commend you for making this a BIG step in changing to a non toxic lifestyle. Finding ways to make this transition easier really does…

Our Favorite Snacks Right Now
Before I had kids, I thought that I snacked a lot. Now that I’ve had four kids, I realize that I knew nothing and my children could eat me out of house and home with all the snacks they want. This leads me to get creative in the kitchen and make filling and healthy snacks for them and myself. I try to share what we eating but to be honest, life is so busy with all of them around that it’s hard to stop what I’m doing and photograph it in the moment. That’s why I don’t share as much on instastories but I’m trying to get better at meal…
