    The Perfect HIGHLIGHTER for Anyone!

    Hey ya’ll! I hope you all are having a wonderful day and enjoying the Christmas spirit that’s running wild this time of year. The weather in South Carolina has turned SUPER chilly and it’s calling for snow. I honestly won’t believe it til I see it because snow in SC is a rare siting. Because of this, I am taking the time to give my dull skin a little extra GLOW this season. In the last year, I have become obsessed with highlighters! I’ve tried the creamy ones that launched last year during the Beautycounter holiday collection and that’s what started my obsession.  Beautycounter launched two pressed highlighter powders earlier…

    My Counterman

    In regards to switching to safer, men should NOT be left out. They are being targeted and it’s quite alarming to see. Men in their 30s are testing low in testosterone and are having issues with growing breast tissues (man boobs) and low and no sperm count. What is the cause to this you ask?

Go into any store and flip over a men’s personal care product – it could be their body wash, shaving cream or even deodorant the chances of you finding an ingredient with estrogen is almost 100%.…

Growing up, we always had artificial trees in our home but when I met Derrek he was so persistent on buying a real tree for our first Christmas. I was so irritated at him because I was always told it was a fire hazard. Little did I know, he knew better than me. It kills me…

    High Performing SAFE Makeup

    One of the main objections I’ve heard when chatting with women about switching to safer makeup is that the performance isn’t up to pair with what they are currently using. This always interests me because some women truly care about that over safety and two because I have found the holy grail of high performing AND non toxic makeup. Beautycounter is changing the beauty industry by bridging the gap between performance and safety and EVERYONE is digging the results. Even VOGUE is taking notice! “When Minnie Mortimer dropped by the Vogue offices the other day, we couldn’t help but notice her supernaturally healthy glow. Her secret: Beautycounter, the new line…

    Hello October, Let’s Make Changes!

    sweater | shorts | makeup | boots – sold out – (linked similar pair) Can ya’ll believe that it’s October? I know that I can’t! October is always a really special month for me because it is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is a cause that is very near and dear my heart because my mother was diagnosed when I was very young. I have grown up seeing and hearing all of the issues associated with this and I try my best to use my platform to help educate others on the topic. Throughout this month, you will learn important things associated with breast cancer and how to clean up your toxic…
