When I started my clean living journey, one of the hardest products for me to find was clean makeup that actually worked like my old toxic faves. Most non-toxic makeup I tried didn’t give me good coverage, was too watery, would melt off, or wouldn’t last all day. So frustrating.  Every time I’d try a […]

I don’t know about you but I never paid much attention to the products I was using until more recently. I’d stop by the closest drug store, grab the best deal on volumizing mascara or toss some Secret antiperspirant into my basket, and be on my way. Little did I know that the products I […]

Have you been thinking about switching to clean beauty? If you’re anything like I was at the beginning of this journey, making the switch to clean beauty might feel overwhelming.  There’s a lot of information floating around out there and it can be tough to separate fact from fiction.

A friend and I recently sat crosslegged on the floor of her living room, as her 8 month old crawled about and cooed with excitement each time we caught her eye. We talked for hours, about life, Jesus, marriage, all the good stuff. At one point in the conversation, she said something to the effect […]

There‘s been moments I’ve caught myself wishing I had her hair, or her talent, or her (fill in the blank here). Anybody else ever feel that way now and then with their incredible friends? Those thoughts never last long though, because true friendship doesn’t let them stick around. And that’s why I love that we […]

I filled my cup of coffee and tossed in a dash of cinnamon (I’ve been into that, recently, anyone else?) and walked out to the back patio. My backyard is so quiet, serene. Living in the country lets me breathe a bit deeper. The dog followed me outside as I took a seat and opened […]
