Here’s two things that are making me smile today:

1) I’m officially pre-pregnancy weight!! And more importantly, I’m feeling really healthy and happy. Big love to my kick ass health coach and business partner

2) Black Friday SALE is going on now! 15% off and FREE shipping!! Clean beauty makes me happy!! Hit me up for gift ideas for breaking up sets (and keeping something special for yourself too)!

The advocacy work is a big part of why I have been a part of Beautycounter since 2015 when I made my first purchase.

I believe so deeply in this mission to require our skincare, make up and body products to tested for harmful ingredients. We deserve better. Our children definitely deserve better. And it is possible.

This year as you holiday shop - remember to vote with your dollars. Support businesses who care about people and our planet 🌍 your support makes a big difference.

🌿We evolve when we learn new things. We learn new things when we try new things. We try new things when we get curious and peek outside of our comfort zone.

I’m learning how to help my daughter to do all of the above. It feels beautiful and refreshing and it brings me new perspective every day.

Sept 1 feels like a new year to me. I’m filled with so much energy and determination. I’m ready to make some changes and give life to new things.

What’s the new month bringing for you?

Why use Non-Nano Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen? Let's break it down.

Zinc oxide is a mineral, and it’s one of the main active ingredients in many mineral sunscreens. It sits on top of your skin (rather than soaking in, like chemical sunscreens do) and protects you by scattering, absorbing, and reflecting the sun’s rays.

🌤 It's effective against UVA, UVB, and even UVC rays — which means it's a “broad-spectrum blocker.”

Now let's talk Oxybenzone — it's one of the most common active ingredients in chemical sunscreens:

🚫 it's a hormone disruptor (uh...no, thank you)
🚫 it contributes to coral reef bleaching 🐡 🌊 🐠
🚫 it can be irritating to your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin

The problem with Nano-particles (tiny) is that they can drop into your body and bloodstream by penetrating your skin - and bring harmful ingredients with them.

Because Non-Nanoparticles (small, but not tiny) will sit on top of your skin, it is considered safer.

In summary, look for Non-Nano Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen. Avoid Oxybenzene and, as always, skip the fragrances and parabens.

I recommend Beautycounter's sunscreen - it’s non-greasy, doesn’t leave funny white marks and I can feel good about the 1,800 ingredients on the Never-List that won’t be inside.

DM me with any questions - always happy to help!

This weekend will be 5 years of loving and supporting

It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences. Join me! I want YOU and your family to be a part of this magic! Make it a tradition like we have - I promise, you won’t regret it.

Join me in supporting young women in Rwanda so they can have access to education, community and sport!

For my Beautycounter clients, let me know if you sign up to walk, run and/or take yoga and I’ll take 20% off your next order and donate that same amount to Komera 🙌🏽

Together, we can make a

Do you trust the companies making your body/skin care/cosmetics products? Why?

I’ve done my research and honestly, it pi**ed me off. A lot. So I decided to do something about it. I chose to lock arms with a company and community that is totally disrupting the industry.

Beautycounter is setting the standard for what “clean” means - we’re advocating for safer regulations, brilliantly formulating clean products that work (turns out, the good stuff works better anyhow) and passionately educating people and families on how to make better, more informed choices to protect their health.

Have you ever checked your products out using EWG’s Skin Deep app? Super easy, you can simply scan the barcode.
DM me and I’ll happily walk you through it.

What’s your go-to soap? Have you ever looked into what’s in it? I’ve been a long-time fan of - not only because the ingredients are safe. And the scents are real essential oils, not questionable fragrances.

I also like how easy it suds up. I have even been known to use it for shaving (warning, double up on the moisturizer after). I also like Beautycounter’s Counterman shaving cream. It has sequoia tree stem cells in it!

What’s your go-to soap? If you are a Bronners fan too, which is your favorite scent?
