Essential For Aging Gracefully

I went on the hunt for products that were both non toxic and could help my dry, dull, aging skin. It was quite literally 1 night of using Beautycounter products that I quickly became a consultant. I didn’t want others to sacrifice their health for the sake of beauty. I hadn’t heard of Beautycounter before my own search and I became an advocate to share the importance of choosing safe products, especially when we using personal care products on a daily basis. Not only safer products, but products that actually helped my skin glow, and look beautiful again, as I enjoy aging gracefully.

Safe Sunscreen: How To Choose

Sunny days are upon us and I couldn’t be more excited. Thanks to my family goal this year of taking more care of our health I knew I needed to double check if the sunscreen I bought last year was actually safe sunscreen.

When I took it out of the closet, first impressions of my sunscreen was that it was safe- . But if I’ve learned anything over last year with our family’s health journey – it’s that labels can be deceiving.

Thanks to the Environmental Working Group website (EWG), I quickly logged on and looked it up only to be shocked that it wasn’t. EWG had rated my “safe” sunscreen at a 7! The higher the number on their scale of 1-10, the higher the rating the worse the product is for you. EEKK.

We Attempted Whole30: Here’s What Happened

We attempted Whole30 last month. I say attempted because we only made if officially 14 days. But wait, hear me out. I just wanted to write my family’s experience. I recognize that the Whole30 community would say that we didn’t complete the 30 days so it doesn’t count, and I would agree. But just in case this helps someone plan better, want an honest review, or are just reading through to gain some knowledge, I hope this helps them!

DIY Teeth Whitening Using 3 Kitchen Ingredients

I originally shared this DIY Teeth Whitening Recipe on Instagram stories and I got so many messages about it! I wish I would have taken before and after pictures of our teeth! I’ve tried whitening strips and special toothpaste in the past and my teeth always became super sensitive and sometimes burn. Never mind that I never saw the dramatic results that big brands advertised. Last year I started researching home remedies- some worked so-so and some didn’t- but then I combined a few things and bam! Safe, effect, natural and using 3 kitchen ingredients!

Chronically Exhausted to Feeling Human Again with 2 Vitamins

I was just sooo tired. I mean, I have 4 kids: 7 and under but this was beyond the normal “I didn’t get enough sleep last night” kind of tired. But gosh it was so much more than that. Waking up exhausted everyday became a normal feeling. I relied on coffee way too much – I even had a couple conversations with my sister, who had given up coffee for 12 whole weeks! and the benefits she felt from it.

Pin It.
