It’s time to make a make a list my friends, of some of my favorite non-toxic, cleaner kids products. Because if you’re anything like me, once you start getting educated about food (and knowing the difference between real food vs everything else out there), well— it’s shocking. Once you start to read the actual ingredient […]

If you know me, you know my whole approach to cooking and nutrition is about making food as simple as possible while also using real ingredients. To me, everything stems from how we eat– our energy, mental health, sleep, the ways we show up in life, our mood, how we feel in our bodies. It […]

  I like to approach design for our home AND our outside spaces with a few intentions in mind: minimal-ish feeling (so it’s soothing on my eyes), yet cozy and comfortable feeling.  Oh, and also super functional, because, hi this stage of life with two little ones running around. My goal is always to create […]

So many things about life are seasonal…. or at least feel better when they are. When we have little change-ups in our food, our daily routines, our self-care, our habits, etc.  The older I get, the more I’m learning that this is true about skincare and makeup, too. My skin needs to be nourished in […]

If you know me, you know I love a cozy at-home situation. Dim lights, a warm bevvie in my favorite mug, soft music playing and preferably a soup simmering away in the crock pot. And for a lot of years, that scenario included allll the scented candles lit all around the house— especially in the […]

Whew, this post has been a LONG time coming. Outside of healthy food and lifestyle, natural skincare and kids/family questions, the next most-asked-about topic in my DMs and email inbox has to be home design. Which always makes me smile, because even though home and design and creating a space that feels light and balanced  […]

  So, you all know I’m into a simple, efficient, low-maintenance beauty routine. It’s all I’ve got time for these days….but let’s be honest, that’s nothing new.  I want things that make my skin feel its best & glowiest, and products made of simple, clean ingredients. But that’s not always easy to do! There’s a […]

Sooo many questions have come in lately about one of my (secret) FAV topics: natural deodorant. Why make the switch? How do you make the switch (and not feel gross/smelly the whole way)? I am so excited to talk about this, because….. WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE (and what I wish more people talked about): […]

Let’s talk glowy skin. Like “vacationing in Maui, just took a walk on the beach,” sun-kissed and dewy sort of skin. But minus the actual act of laying out to tan, because this mama is trying to achieve that glow without overly-exposing my skin to the sun and UV rays. Some sunshine is great– early […]

I love talking about natural swaps to make, because you guys all know what I big believer I am in making tiny changes over time. That it’s really about the things you’re doing in daily life that add up to your health overall, how you feel, and how your body is operating from the inside […]

A good mail day is the best kind of day– right now especially. 🙂 I recently had a GREAT mail day: a restock of alllll my fav natural cleaning products from Branch Basics, and it reminded me of HOW often I get asked about this piece of the non-toxic, healthier living puzzle. Because I think […]

Sooo many questions have come in lately about one of my (secret) FAV topics: natural deodorant. Why make the switch? How do you make the switch (and not feel gross/smelly the whole way)? Perfect timing, too, for two reasons: 1. I just got in my latest shipment of the best natural deodorant EVER (not kidding, […]
