What’s in mainstream DEO and what nontoxic brand I swear by
I’m so glad that Beautycounter finally perfected their deo game because their formula is better than any nontoxic deo I’ve ever tried. Just FYI, I’ve tried over 15 brand in my quest for safer deodorant. In case you’re wondering “what is Beautycounter?” this is a brand with a longtime commitment to natural ingredients and sustainable packaging. It’s taken years to formulate the Clean Deos from Beautycounter, but why?

What Does a Nontoxic + High Performing Makeup Bag Look Like?
The fact that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40 years ago it was 1 in 20 is hard to take in.

This post is sponsored by the Mailroom Barber. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. When it comes to the world of non toxic men’s products, you can welcome a very select few brands to the playing field. Men’s personal care products tend to be the most harmful to our bodies because they contain toxic chemicals with links to reproductive issues along various other issues. It has taken almost 8 years for Derrek and I to find a brand that we trust for safety and are also high performing. My husband is VERY picky about what personal care products he uses (I…

We Deserve Better, Home Glow Up!
I don’t know about how y’all feel but the stress of the outside world right now is not something I can handle. Everything is really dramatic and.intense and I’m glad to be in a little bubble at home. I know that we are very lucky to both be able to work from home but the whole five kids at home and having to homeschool our oldest two is a pretty interesting combination right now and we are just trying to figure out a groove. One of the things that I am so very thankful for during this time is the ability to work on things that I’ve been wanting to…
