No one is flawless. Which makes each and every single one of us fantastic in our own wonderful unique ways. Period. No ifs and or buts. As middle age has encroached upon me, I’ve become more comfortable in my…
1. On-the-Go Protein Traveling for so long in countries where the level of “gluten-free awareness” was suspect, we needed to bring our own snacks. We know we can find “crisps” and fruit most places, so it was protein…

3 Simple Steps to Offset Your Footprint for Earth Day (and 3 Brand Ideas that Support Offsetting too)
If you were a company who released a “Social Responsibility” report today (Earth Day), what would it say? For me, or us – as a family – I’ve gotten stuck on the idea of “decreasing” my footprint for so…

How & why I left my corporate job to be my own boss with Beautycounter and spend time with my family!
When one door closes, another opens. When one chapter ends, another begins. A woman who changes her hair is about to change her life. Yup, all those those things. I’ve been talking about this big news for a few…

Hey everyone! It’s really a series because here’s the second installment of 5 Friday Favorites. Inspired by Valentine’s Week and snuggling loved ones, we’ve focused this week’s 5 favorites on all things snuggling on the couch. The goal with the…
Since the 1989 NASA study on air purification, we’ve known house plants are excellent detoxifiers for our homes. Yes, that’s right, it’s been THIRTY years. And yet, despite being able to put a man on the moon, the struggle…
Alright friends, here’s the thing. I’m always overthinking blog posts, and they become thesis papers 80 times a human capacity to read by the time I’m done. And while I won’t ever stop providing well-researched information and educational content,…
Get it, my pun there? “Clean”… as in clean products to not be dirty, stinky boys? As often as we talk about safer skincare and cleaner personal care products, we’ve never dedicated a post to men’s products. And I’m…
While no one would ever call me neat or organized, I do ever so love the feeling of cleanliness. I shower sometimes twice a day, I can’t stand a sticky floor, and I was desperately in love with Clorox…
![When was the last time you looked in the mirror and were happy, focused on what your body HAS DONE for you?
.
I’m a work in progress, but this morning I was naked starring at myself and was so PROUD. Seriously. I cannot emphasize this enough: your body, your appearance, is not a measurement of your worth! You are here, you are alive, and your body is the how and why.

🤰 “My belly is too big.” 👉 My soft tummy shows the meals I’ve enjoyed and the lives I’ve grown.
👵🏻”My X hurts, I’m so old and no fun.” 👉 I’m so grateful to have this life, to be able to do [insert thing you can do].
💪”My arms are flabby.” 👉 My arms have embraced loved ones, held my babies in my arms, and lifted me up when I needed it most.
👩🏻🦰 “I don’t like X on my face.” 👉 No one else on earth has my face, how lucky am I to have [insert thing you do love].

It’s not easy. And it won’t be perfect as you start. But you’re my friend, and I love you. Please don’t talk badly about my friend 💞
