Where to start when finding toxic free brands

Clean beauty is becoming a big thing. So many companies are seeing that consumers want better, safer products. But how do you really know what their bottles say are true? By doing your own research. Or follow me because I do lots of research. Here are a few things to look for when looking at your clean beauty. Are the ingredients of each product disclosed publicly? What is transparency these days? What does transparency look like? Well, to me it looks like not hiding behind trade-marked words like perfume or …

Birth story – Part 2

If you haven’t read the first part, read it here. It’s about 11 pm the nurses come back, check me and I’m ready. Fully dilated. They say don’t push because we don’t want to have to catch. Just as things are being moved on to my bed to move me, my blood pressure goes crazy. The next thing I know, I’m saying I feel like I’m going to throw up. Someone hands me one of those handy green collapsible bags. Off to the OR. I want to make a note …

Story of the birth of my twins

So here I am just over 3 years later wishing I’d done a better job of keeping a journal because well life helps you forget all the little details. For the last 3 years I’ve been telling myself I’d get around to writing down the story of the boys birth. Because it was a crazy 2 days and I want to remember as many details as I can. I’m not going to get into the details of the pregnancy because to be honest we were happy for about 10 weeks. …

Spring Cleaning: Face Tools

We just cleaned out the makeup drawer (read about it here). Now we should make sure the tools we use are good and clean too. I don’t know what kind of tools you have but you probably have some of the same ones I have. Blush brush, eye shadow brush, nail trimmers, tweezers, and eyelash brush. The eye shadow, blush brush, and eye liner brush can be cleaned the same way. Warm water and a little bit of Beautycounter’s cleansing balm. You haven’t heard of the cleansing balm before? It’s …

Spring Cleaning: Clean up makeup junk

I would like to be one of the first people to say welcome to the start of nicer weather. Here in Idaho our weather loves to warm up and then let lose with rain and cool off. Which can be so confusing to a body. But with spring showers come all those beautiful flowers. So for now I’m trying to enjoy any sun and warmer air we have. I don’t know about you but the warmer weather always gets me in the mood to clean out stuff. I have so …

Fun family dates!

Last week was the famous Valentine’s Day. So I wanna know, how do you celebrate? Is it something you like and want to celebrate or would you rather pretend it’s just a normal day? Me I’ve avoided the day like the plague for years. It felt like crap always piled up on our near that day every year. Till one year when my now husband asked me to be his Valentine. Thats when it all changed. We never wanted to do anything very big. Cause restaurants are always overly busy …

Busy mom? Try this to ease your life.

Do you worry about having enough toilet paper at home or if there are any paper towels left? I know I do. Its not something I want to think about every time I go to the store. The things that don’t bought every trip but are still important. There were so many times I forgot to get toilet paper. Or we’d be out of pancake mix (which we use all the time). It was frustrating. So I decided to automate some items that we buy on the regular. And let …
