    As I get older, I am always on the hunt for more ways to love on my skin. With the many things that we use our hands for, it’s important not to neglect them from wear, tear and aging. With as many things as we use our hands for, hand care should be a more talked about subject, don’t you think? I am sure you’ve used lotion and hand sanitizer in the past but have you ever thought about the type of love you should show to your hands routinely?

    The Meaning Behind My Everyday Necklaces

    This post is in partner with Cara O Sello. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. My taste in jewelry has changed SO MUCH over the years but I’ll say that after having kids I finally feel like I’ve got “my style” down pat.

I wear a few rings but to be honest, they scratch the kids a lot so I don’t really wear a lot of those either right now.…

This is something I work on every day in yoga but also love working on targeted areas when I have extra time. On arm day you can find me rotating these….

I made sure to share ones that are also easily modified based on level and able to be done anywhere. Push ups – I could not do full push ups until this…

    My Must Have For Zits!

    Have you ever used charcoal in your skincare? It has become my favorite multipurpose product in my nontoxic journey for a multitude of reasons! My skin is acne prone so charcoal really works wonders with my break outs. Story time: If you go into a hospital, you’ll see charcoal being used to treat overdoses. The black powder in activated charcoal stops toxins from being absorbed in the stomach by binding to them. The body is unable to absorb charcoal, and so the toxins that bind to the charcoal leave the body in the feces. I shared that story to explain that it has a similar effect when used on the skin,…
