I’m on a mission to create the best of the best when it comes to living. And I believe we all deserve to have that for ourselves. Yes, I know everyone has a different BEST life. But I believe there are some general things we can all shoot for. One of those things is strong emotional wellness. So, what is emotional wellness? Well it isn’t feeling perpetually happy. We all have emotions, good and bad, it’s human to experience them. Just yesterday I was a total mess. Part of a …
Today is the perfect day to have us a little chat about sunscreen. Why? Well, because I’ve got a little bit of red on my cheeks (cause I spent to much time outside and skipped the screen). I want to be very honest with you. I spent YEARS avoiding sunscreen. And I am still not the best at remembering. I avoided it so well one time, that I burnt the tops of my feet. I was probably around 15 or so. My mom had told me a few times to …
I want this blog to be a place you want to come to for information that you want. I’ve been racking my mind for a month and a half for a worth while topic for the month of May. I feel like I have failed. Any idea I had just wasn’t good enough. Then I had a thought! Why don’t I just ask my readers what they want to know. So… What do you want me to write about next? Are you interested in sunscreen? Maybe more about my life? …

Maybe I am! Now that I’ve done almost 2 weeks of this challenge it should be getting easier. Right? It doesn’t feel like its getting easier. Though I do not hurt as much as I did the first few days. I guess thats the beauty of doing some kind of challenge. It gets harder each day. The days I find the most challenging are the ones I have to do all the plank styles. Like on day 10. Plank, rocking plank, hip dips, & up-downs; oh boy! I’m still not …
Oh boy! That first week of the challenge was hard on me. I didn’t really realize how out of shape my shoulder muscles were. Planks are not that bad but then add in a pushup. Ugh! But thats why I’m here right? Yep. First whole week down. I’m glad to be getting a rest day. How are you coming along with the challenge? I got my husband to join in, which is great cause now I have someone else reminding me and keeping me movitated. If you haven’t started its …
I am a mother to twins. And because of that my body went through a lot to grow them and then expel them from my body. And now this body of mine has changed so much that I don’t really know what to do with it. Some things got better (hello bigger boobs) and some things got worse (I still look pregnant L). And for a long time, I have wanted to do something but the thought of trying to fit in even more things in my day has felt …
What is safer beauty? Well to me it’s taking the time to look at what is in my products and knowing if those ingredients could cause my family any long term harm. It’s also understanding what the government can and can’t do when a product is found to be harmful to the public. Which by the way is very little. There hasn’t been an updated law regarding our personal care products since 1938. And the FDA doesn’t have to approve any products before they hit the shelves. Neither can they …

You’ve taken the time to find some amazing products. You’ve got a great line-up of amazing items that you know will make your skin beautiful. BUT where do you start? There’s toners, serums, and oils.
