My “Why”
A few years ago I began my journey into a more natural life, and one of the ways I started this was by changing my makeup routine. I threw away all of my drug store Maybelline, Cover Girl and even my beloved Clinique products. I did so visiting the Environmental Working Group website and flipping out over how toxic the ingredients were that I was applying to my skin daily! The Skin Deep database is a great online resource that lists the chemical ingredients of thousands of products, and highlights a few of the worst on the list.

Water, water, water…
When you decide to make a change and drink water, it can be confusing. Do you drink straight from the tap, warm or hot, or from a plastic bottle?

Summer is FLYING by but the warm temps will stay in South Carolina for months to come. For this reason, you won’t see me posting much about “Fall” clothing because I know that wont even be something I need to deal with until Novemberish. Until then, we will enjoy our beach days and pool time AND summer clothing. I am such a sucker for bright colors but muted neutrals have stolen my heart because they will transition into the next few months seamlessly. I’ve found that it is actually…

Mom Truths and Our Recent Photoshoot With Sullivan Blue
Happppppyyyy Tuesday friends. I’ve had the opportunity to chat with moms over the last 2 and a half years who feel the same way I do. Social media has a way of making things seem “perfect” and it’s totally not. Everyday, my emotions range from over the moon happy to completely frustrated and overwhelmed. It’s really comforting talking to other women that are in the same situation as I am and are always so kind and understanding when we talk. I have decided that once a month, I am going to share some of my mom truths with ya’ll. I am doing this in hopes that it helps you realize…
