Why

I am here first and foremost for my love of the "clean" products.  

I have always dappled in clean products, however was never fully committed to it, as convenience seemed to always win and outweigh my desire #twoundertwo 

We have successfully been using a cleanER laundry detergent and have switched over a few other household items but still have a LOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go.  The first step to realizing there is a problem is to ADMIT that there is a problem and....... 

There is a problem.......

I was introduced to a personal hygiene product company a few years ago called Beatuycounter and have been a customer ever since.  

I recently joined arms with some fellow mamas and have become a consultant with this amazing company.  I truly feel honored to be a part of this movement, because Beautycounter is a B corporation.

You maybe asking what is a B corp?  

Well.....  A B corp is a company with a social mission. They are companies that use their business platform to solve social and environmental problems. There are only around 1900 B corporations from 29 countries in the world and Beautycounter is proud to be one of them!! Other B coprs that you may know of are Patagonia, TOMS, Ben and Jerry's...basically we are an awesome company with a TRUE mission. 

There are tons of different skincare and cosmetics companies out there, but this.........this makes us different, and this is why we're growing.

We’re more than just safe, beautiful cosmetics…we’re a group that educates friends and family, we're a group that is fighting everyday for stricter regulation in the hopes of change. 

Now, I'll get off of my soap box to get back to reason we are all here :) 

Nothing about our first sons pregnancy or birth was easy. We had had multiple miscarriages and waited  3.5 years prior to finally holding our first miracle in our arms and from that moment on I have been consciously trying to make our little world a healthier, better, cleaner, safer place.

Being a first time mom (up at 2 am frantically looking for all of the answers of the world via google nonetheless) I started researching sunscreens for our son as summer was coming. I couldn’t believe all of the toxins and junk that was in them. And on top of that, how much of it was absorbed into our bodies though our skin!!! I felt cheated and lied to all these years, yes I didn't and don't want to burn and get cancer from the sun but........... I also didn’t want to be putting chemicals that potentially caused cancer on my, or worse yet, my child’s skin to protect it from getting cancer (get it, it felt like an oxymoron)!

So this is how, where, and why I started my journey to clean out our personal hygiene products. 

My intentions of this blog are to unite moms on products that are safe, clean, and easy, because Laaaaad knows we need easy..............
