    Things I’m Loving Lately

    Jun 23, 2017 • Wellness & Lifestyle

    Things I'm Loving Lately

    All the things. 

    So many random things that I’m loving this month! I have to share the deets.

    Happy Friday by the way 🙂 After this post, we’re heading up to the lake, as we normally do, for some sun and relaxation.

    Follow along on insta!


    Organic Tampons

    I’ve tried the Diva Cup… and I don’t LOVE it. To me, its sort of uncomfortable?? I really want to like it… but in the mean time, I’ve been liking the L. organic cotton tampons that I found at Target! Isn’t it cool how this aisle is slowly improving?! L. tampons are made with 100% organic cotton in bpa-free compact applicators. They’re hypoallergenic and free or rayon, chlorine, fragrance and dyes! They come in this chic container too.

    Just in case you need to revamp your tampon stash! Which you definitely should 🙂

     

    Tarte Shape Tape

    I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a big Youtube makeup tutorial fan. Even though I don’t contour or wear a lot of makeup, I love watching the videos! So many youtuber’s have raved about  Tarte Shape Tape, so obviously I had to pick it up… and so happy I did! If you need a new vegan/cruelty-free concealer, try this one. It’s creamy, super blendable and provides full coverage. I chose the medium shade and plan on picking up one shade darker for the summer months.

    Have you guys tried shape tape yet? What’s your fave vegan/cruelty free concealer?!

     

    Ritual Women’s Supplement

    I talked about these new vitamins from Ritual in my most recent post on balancing your hormones naturally, but I had to include them again because so many of us ladies are deficient in specific vitamins and minerals. These help us fill in the gaps! Ritual vitamins are non-gmo, vegan, gluten and allergen-free, contain no synthetic fillers or colors and are bioavailable in the body! Their website is super cool and helpful with tons of info about where the ingredients come from and in what form they’re in. 

     

    Luminance Rosewater Toner

    So essential for summer! I’ve been using Thayer’s rosewater for forever… but this toner from Luminance is 100% pure rosewater… and smells amaaaaaazing. Feels so refreshing and hydrating on your skin! I spritz it on after washing my face or showering, because it balances the pH since tap water is not pH balanced. I’ve been loving the entire youthful line from Luminance by the way – it’s the most natural skincare I’ve ever used and feels so good!

    Herbivore Blue Tansy Resurfacing Mask

    I literally picked this Blue Tansy Herbivore mask up yesterday and have used it twice already… ! My skin feels so smooth… it’s exactly what I needed. Sometimes I forget to exfoliate and I’m scared to since it always makes me break out, so this mask gently exfoliates with natural AHA’s and BHA’s. Not to mention it smells AMAZING, like nothing I’ve ever smelled before. I want/need everything from Herbivore Botanicals.

    If you’re skin is acting up and need some clarifying, I highly recommend this blue goo!

     

    Manna Coconut Butter

    My newest obsession is coconut butter… I have no words… it’s like creamy coconut clouds of heaven. I add it to smoothies, spread it on toast and sometimes, eat it by the spoonful 😉 can’t get enough!!

     

    Shea Moisture Omega Shine Hair Serum

    The summer sun dries out my hair SO bad. This Shea Moisture hair oil keeps my ends shiny and restores moisture. A little goes a long way but it really lasts, controls frizz and protects my hair from heat styling! It has a fresh, light and natural smell. Love it!

    What are you guys loving lately?! Hope you have the best weekend 🙂

    Happy summer!

    xoxo

    & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP. It was super oily & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP.

It was super oily and greasy with buildup from past products. I was washing daily… and just unhappy with the dullness and lack of volume. That has since changed!

Aside from getting transformed hair, this opportunity allows motivated women to have another income source. It allows mamas to have the best of both worlds - their own income while raising their babies (if you’re in that phase of life). It provides social media training, so much guidance and support (you’re never doing it alone), earned confidence and most importantly, community. Some of my best friends are here now because we talk daily and know everything about each other’s lives! Surrounding yourself with like-minded successful women can turn your life around. I’m not kidding. You are who you surround yourself with. It’s more than just shampoo. 

All it takes is deciding YES and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Don’t let life pass you by. Stop wondering and start taking action! 🥂 

If you’re ready, DM me BIZ and let’s chat 💞

    what healing looks like 🌼🩷 I starts out my what healing looks like 🌼🩷

I starts out my morning with a bunch of supplements to eliminate parasites and bacteria and repair my gut while supporting my liver and gallbladder. Next I make a protein smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder and a custom supplement to support my deficiencies. And lastly my creamy dandy blend latte because I’m not drinking coffee right now.

This is what works for me right now! I also have gf toast usually from @awgbakery. I’ve had to eliminate so many things but it’s all for good reason, to reduce all the inflammation. I’m working with @lifelabwellnessco if you would like your own custom plan and testing 🙏🏼 should I share more videos like this?
