This is how I do: Beautycounter Socials
Beautycounter is a skincare and beauty company founded by a woman named Gregg Renfrew. She started the brand after realizing that so many personal care products are not as regulated as many people think — in fact, many products contain ingredients linked to cancer, reproductive issues, and hormone disruption, all without ever informing consumers. Unlike the FDA, Beautycounter has banned more than 1,500 unsafe ingredients (many of which are banned by the European Union), creating one of the highest standards in the beauty industry. Beautycounter also rigorously screens all of their ingredients, working with scientists and industry leaders to reduce the exposure to toxic chemicals and develop safer alternatives. They also choose ingredients that…

Turn Back Time With Countertime
I am ONE DAY away from turning 31 ya’ll! I don’t feel 31 and I surely do not want to look it. Unfortunately for me, I over exposed my skin to the sun for decades. I couldn’t be more upset with myself for the cosmetic damage I’ve caused and really started stressing about cancerous and precancerous moles. After a trip to the dermatologist, I left with a clear bill of health and can fully focus on reducing fine lines and wrinkles on my face, neck, chest and backs of my hands. I never realized how toxic our personal care products really were until I started looking into the ingredients when…

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 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…

The Best Blush You’ll Ever Have
Hey y’all! So I’m gonna be real and share that I normally do my makeup in the car (thank you Flawless in Five) but, when I do get to sit down and do my makeup at home I love playing with colors. The easiest way to switch up your makeup other the your lipstick is your blush! A good blush is a game changer when you talk about makeup. I’m being serious! Wearing a blush when you put on makeup really helps bring life to your face and also adds dimension. I love that you can use this to top off a glam look or only put this on when…

Why You Want Dew Skin
Hey ya’ll! I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful Spring weather, I know that we have been doing just that over here in South Carolina. Since we are spending most of our time outdoors, SPF protection is key. Before anyone goes outside, they are sprayed down with the Countersun sunscreen by Beautycounter while protects us from ALL the things outside. You can read more about that here. I put it on the kids faces as well BUT I cannot put it on my face because it breaks me out. Since I am 30 and my collagen production is done, I’ve got to protect my face from the sun’s aging rays by…
