    Why You Need A Naturepedic Mattress

    This post is in partner with Naturepedic. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I am SO pumped about this feature because it’s a biggie. The need for an organic mattress never occurred to me until I started looking into options for the kids. To be honest, Derrek and I were given a mattress as a wedding gift from his parents so we didn’t get to pick that out. I didn’t care about any feature for a mattress other than was it soft enough for me. I cannot stand a hard mattress. Derrek on the other hand loves a hard mattress. The…

    Nontoxic Period Products That Perform!

    Alright ladies, lets talk about that Aunt that we all get visits from but we really don’t love… let’s talk about Aunt Flo. YES, for those of you that like actual names, I am talking about our menstrual periods. That “fun” time once a month that we show how amazing a females body is. I mean, what man could bleed for days and not freak out? Not many! I’ve shared natural forms of birth control (why I choose not to use the pill) and ways to deal with those dreadful cramps that occur but I haven’t talked in-depth about an important topic: non toxic pads, liners, tampons – and what…

    Spring Essential Oil Diffuser Blends

    Happy Tuesday friends! I don’t know about you but this weather gives me all the good feels. Even though it has been raining more during the weekends than I would like, we are dealing with it and enjoying all the warm weather and sunshine in between the rainstorms. I also found some amazing essential oil diffuser blends to use in our house and make it feel extra “Springy.” We do not use candles in our household, only essential oils. We made this switch during my pregnancy with Nolan and have never regretted it since. Click here to read more about how scented candles are as toxic as diesel fumes and…

    Nontoxic Hair Styling Products

    Let’s talk hair. We all have it (well, most of us do) and it’s something that you have to maintain. I know when my hair looks good, I feel super confident. Who else has a obsession with their hair? One question that I get a lot is what styling products do I use that aren’t toxic. I didn’t realize this would have been a big issue until I started looking into the products I was using. I have psoriasis and I’ve always had extreme issues with skin irritation and I never knew what would cause it to flare up. Now I know that fragrance and SLS in my styling products…

    Dijion ACV Salad Dressing Recipe

    TGIF ya’ll! I for one am so glad that the weekend is amongst us because I have lots of fun plans for the weekend. One of those things is prepping all the foods since Derrek will be home to help me keep an eye on the kids. Nolan and Harper are normally right by my side anytime I am in the kitchen and they’ve been asking to make banana nut bread muffins, smoothies and fruit salad so I will happily make all the things for them. And let’s be real, for me too! Something that I’ve craved lately is fresh foods. I want all the spring salads, sandwiches, wraps, and…
