Reflecting on my Beautycounter Journey
It blows my mind, thinking about the difference in my life two years ago to today. I had just started blogging and was a few years into my health journey. Finances were not great but improving from our lowest point and I was constantly wondering what could I do to provide financially for my family. At the same time, this gorgeous little blonde lady, named Christi Hucks, kept sending me private messages on my social media telling me that I would make a wonderful voice for the Beautycounter mission and I kept completely disregarding her. I just couldn’t make the connection that Christi was dangling my “sign” right in front of my face. It look me months of…

Crazy for Pom Poms
dress | necklace | lipstick I received this dress in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. It’s no secret that I am really obsessed with Hazel and Mae Boutique. I have so many beautiful pieces from their boutique, and every time I wear them, I not only feel really confident but I get so many compliments on my outfit. I am jumping on the off the shoulder and pom pom trend for summer and I couldn’t be happier. When I saw this dress on the Hazel and Mae Boutique website, I knew I had to have it! This dress…

My Makeup and Skincare Routine
I sit here, at my computer, reminiscing about the times in college that I would sit in front of my bathroom mirror and spending HOURS upon hours doing my hair and makeup. But let me just get real, those days are LONG gone! Not only is my skin starting to show a little age and sun damage from baking outside every summer but my dark circles match my coffee. I get asked a lot about my routine and the truth is that I like to use a small amount of products that make a big impact. When I transitioned to a non toxic lifestyle, I was so overwhelmed with the different…

Why Beautycounter? Because we deserve better!
I started using Beautycounter almost three years ago when one of my friends started talking to me about the products. I’ve tried lots of “natural” and “organic” brands since changing my lifestyle and they never met my standards. Organic doesn’t always mean safe. Lead, mercury, arsenic. You can have a tube of organic lipstick, that doesn’t mean there isn’t lead in it. After downloading the “Healthy Living” app, I found out that the reason why was because those products that were labeled as safe and non toxic were the exact opposite. I encourage you to download the app for yourself, start plugging in your beauty products and see what exactly…

Step Away from the Princess Elsa Body Wash
One of the things that I dread about Christmas is the number of toxic fragrance filled body washes my children recieve as presents from their grandparents. Y’all know the ones that I am refering too, the ones with your kiddos favorite TV and movie characters on them. It makes me cringe because I know they are going to have a meltdown for them and it’s hard to explain why they can’t take a bath with their Nemo bubble bath or Frozen body wash. Trying to get my little’s to understand that kids do not need them as presents, is like talking to a brick wall and knowing that they are literally money down the drain. It makes…
