    Summer Glow Salad. Super fresh and seasonal for summer with mini tomatoes, fresh corn and crisp cucumber with all the lime juice. Makes a perfect appetizer paired with tortilla chips and hummus, a side dish or served over kale and quinoa for lunch! #vegan #summer #glow #salad

    Hey loves!

    It’s been a while, but I hope you had the best 4th of July!

    I traveled up to our family’s lake house in Wisconsin with a few of my college friends. We sipped on watermelon margaritas (so refreshing on a hot, hot day!), ate my Spicy Kale and Quinoa Salad, this Summer Glow Salad and my spicy black bean burgers, soaked up the sun, swam in the lake and marveled at all the fireworks that lit up the sky at night. Poor Taz was not amused whatsoever by the fireworks, so he spent most of the weekend in my arms but we’re all back to normal!

    We ate out in Lake Geneva one night at the new Oakfire pizza restaurant which has amazing views and outside seating on two levels! They also have gluten free crust if that’s your thing and they make a cheese-less veggie pizza upon request 🙂 It was a super fun weekend but it’s been hard to get back into it this week. How is it already Friday?! Anyways, I have some fun things coming up – finally a post on vegan self-tanner that’s been a long time coming, lots of yummy summer recipes and another hormone post is on the way about lifestyle and other odds and ends about cycle syncing. Be sure to catch up on Part Four if you missed it – all about workouts!

    But first, I’m quickly sharing this Summer Glow Salad recipe as it’s too beautiful and delish to keep secret!

    All of the seasonal summer yumminess in one bowl. Fresh is what comes to mind. Everything is so fresh and tastes amazing!

    Mini tomatoes in a variety of colors, fresh steamed corn cut straight off the cob and crisp chopped cucumber, then finished with lime juice, cilantro, sea salt and black pepper.

    Makes for quite the glowing summer dish! And oh how simple it is to throw together last minute. I love having this on hand in the fridge to put over quinoa and kale for lunch or serve with tortilla chips and hummus for a snack.

    WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄 • I get to so WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄

• I get to solve hair problems for people help them have more confidence
• I get to make an income from wifi
• I’m apart of an inclusive community of driven women that have turned into real friends whom I hope to meet one day!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle. 

I joined the BEST community of women who have encouraged me every step of the way and led me down the right path. It’s not intimidating at all because everyone wants you to succeed. 

Type BIZ and I will contact you with more information, or fill out my opportunity form 🌸💛⚡️🦄🩷🙏🏼💅🏻👑🛍️

    I’d never thought about scalp health before star I’d never thought about scalp health before starting weekly oil treatments 🤯 but your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. The right products are key. A good shower filter is key to prevent your scalp from from drying out. The right shampoo and conditioner is key! I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results! Let your hair do the talking 🗣️👑⚡️🌸💛🧴🦄

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

I’ve always curled my hair the same way until recently! Loving this look from our new spiral wand. This is apart of our curling wand that comes with 3 attachments 👀 there are some pieces of my hair that look crimpy so I need practice but it took the same amount of time as my normal curling wand.

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist
