    My Spring Skin Must Haves

    Hey ya’ll! I am so sorry that I didn’t post this yesterday but any week that I travel always throws me off and I am gearing up to head to Arizona for a few days with the leaders of Beautycounter. This is a huge trip for me because I have so many wonderful women that I get to see and catch up and anytime I get to head to a Beautycounter event makes me giddy. With this being said, I am prepping for higher temps (it’s going to be in the upper 80s) and even though a cold front blew threw South Carolina. With warmer weather brings the changing of…

NOTHING worked for my headaches but these oils and I’m so thankful that I was introduced to them for…

    Ditch the Plastic – Non Toxic Snack Containers

    When transitioning to a non toxic lifestyle, it can be very overwhelming. Most people get stuck and think that they should just switch out everything. The reality is that most people can’t just overhaul every single avenue in their lives. It has to be done piece by piece and remembering this will help you not get overwhelmed. Switching to safer shouldn’t be overwhelming. It’s about progress not perfection and every step you take makes a huge impact. One of the areas that took me a little longer to switch out was plastic storage containers and zip lock bags. I never made this a priority until the kids started going to…

    Why Do You Need a Cleanser?

    As I age, I realize the importance of a good skincare regimen. Growing up, I never even wanted to wash my face and now I cant fall asleep or start my day without the feeling of a fresh, moisturized face. In this post, I want to talk about cleansers, but I’ll touch on the importance of a full regimen. Cleansers are so important because the skin on your face is thin and delicate, and you don’t want to just be moving around the bad stuff (makeup, sweat, dead skin, dirt) instead of removing it. The easiest way to get your skin care in order is by sticking to a regimen.…
