Our Real Life

Stacy had an amazing weekend – one that brought tears to my eyes. It started with a breakfast plate of greens, eggs, roast beef, pork belly, salmon and brulee’d grapefruit with a few of my Beautycounter team members before our official March Forth activities began. We were in DC to advocate for better personal care laws – you know, cause lead isn’t allowed in paint but is in your lipstick.

We’ve advocated health – Inside & Out – for families almost 8 years now. I’ve heard from thousands of people, who were learning what you put in and on your body changed your lives, for the better. We’ve written 3 bestselling cookbooks, had millions visit our website, met thousands at book tours and podcast events. We’ve heard from so many of you on how lifestyle has impacted your lives. It has been such an honor to meet you all and hear your stories. And this weekend we got to share them!

Along with over 100 other safer skincare brand ambassadors, I shared this important message with Senate offices of Maryland, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. We asked them to sponsor and support the Personal Care Product Safety Act (S.1113). This Act helps more than just our brand – this Act would help ALL Americans ensure that the products they use are safer. For those who can’t or don’t want to use Beautycounter, this Act would ask the FDA to do better – putting safer skincare into the hands of EVERYONE, even the $2 body wash from the dollar store.

We all deserve to not bathe ourselves in neurotoxins, carcinogens, estrogen disrupters and other toxic chemicals. Giving the FDA the authority to demand recalls means in the event of high danger, doing the right thing won’t be voluntary. If this is something that matters to you, contact your local legislators (especially Senate offices, where the bi-partisan bill is currently under review).

This has been my passion for over a year and I cannot tell you how emotional it was to know that I made a difference. It is an incredible accomplishment we ALL accomplished. I’m so honored and grateful for those of you who supported my BC biz to get me here. I hope I did you proud!

Stacy the Lobbyist for International Women’s Day

“I’m so proud of my wife, Stacy. Today, March
8th, is International Women’s Day. To celebrate, I want to acknowledge
the greatest woman in my life and her newfound passion for keeping all
of us safe from harmful chemicals in our personal care products! …
It’s helped put into practice the philosophy she’s always shared: women
do best lifting each other up… And I found a new reason to love and
respect her. It’s been incredible to witness her passion for regulation
(her day job) meet with a passion for healthy living (our passion the
last nearly 8 years) and land on building a business that brings the two
together.”
