I cannot believe that another year has come and gone and that it’s officially 2019. This past year was filled with so many amazing ups and downs and lots of growth. Normally, I am all about making “New Years resolutions” but this year, I am trying something different. This year, I am focused on creating intentions instead.

Why I Suggest Buying a Live Christmas Tree
It genuinely interests me to find new ways to decrease my toxic load. I know that it’s impossible to completely phase out every single toxin but I am a firm believer that small changes make a big impact.

Sometimes, I just don’t wanna be pale. Sometimes, I want a little extra color and this has led me to researching different non toxic brands of self tanners.…

“Isle” Show You the Way to Safer Perfume
This post is in partner with Skylar. All thoughts and opinons are my own. Please visit my disclaimer page for more information. Happy Monday Friends! I am so excited to get back into the blogging groove and share more about ways to detoxify your life without missing out on your favorite things. One of the first things that I quit using when I became pregnant was perfume. The strong smell would bother me and give me a headache. I started looking into what made perfumes and I was shocked at how bad they actually are for your health. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that, while many popular perfumes, colognes…
