a few days ago, i mentioned that i made the plunge and became a Beauty Counter consultant. i said i would share more, so here i am!
our skin is our largest organ. just like what we put in our bodies, what we put on our bodies is super important. although our skin does a damn good job at keeping elements out, absorption of chemicals is a very real threat.
new studies show that chemical exposure begins before we even take our first breath. meaning our babies aren’t even protected from chemicals while they’re growing in our bellies! a shocking 287 chemical toxins have been detected within the umbilical cord blood of newborns. i actually found this out after anakin was born, but now i wish i would’ve brought ours (fun fact- because i delivered at a midwifery, i legally had to bring our placenta home with us to dispose of it) into someone to have it tested!
in europe they have banned over 1400 chemicals from personal care products. in canada, it’s around 600. in the states, it’s only 30!

they’re paving the way for clean beauty, with their very own never list of over 1800 (!!!) banned ingredients. they’re fearlessly advocating to transform this unregulated industry on a state and national level.
i value their mission and connect with what they’re doing so deeply. providing healthy products, and educating my people is something ive always loved! partnering with them was an easy decision, it was just a matter of timing for me.
if you’re in need of clean beauty products, please reach out and let me be your guide! i think now more than ever, we can all use a little clean self care, especially when it’s being delivered to our doors!
