Reclaiming Your Skincare

Reclaiming Your Skincare
Beauty Brite Disclosure

Today’s pace for everything is just non-stop. Go,go,go all the time. So when does that leave time for skincare? I know as a mom of four, most days I don’t have enough hours in the day for everything. So for many years my skincare has been almost nonexistent. I’ve finally found an easy routine that makes self-care a lot easier.

I’m pushing 40, and man, can I feel the tick of the clock. My kids are getting older ( my oldest starts high school this year), and they are almost taller than I am. The nights keep getting shorter. Finally, it’s time for me to reclaim a little piece of me. So when I started looking for skincare, I wanted something that doesn’t involve a 500-step process. I want something fast and efficient.

Skincare Made Easy.

Ora Juice

Ora Juice Skincare is bringing natural back to the table, with products that keep clean and organic at the forefront of their products. This is one of the main reasons I love this brand. I don’t have to worry about what I am putting on my skin. Start with their Golden Beryl Cream Cleanser to start with the perfect blank canvas. Leaving you feeling clean and fresh, without the harsh chemical smell.

The next step in the skincare routine is The Golden Beryl Hydration Heroes pair. This pair includes the Golden Beryl Elixir and Golden Beryl Moisturizer, the perfect pair to rehydrate your skin. Leaving your skin ready to face the day with no sticky residue. Giving you repair from years of damaged skin. Using natural ingredients like avocado, ginger, and rosemary.

Last but not least is the Golden Beryl Toner. While helping to prep your skin for other serums and oils, this toner helps to create and keep your skin tone even and defined. One of the best things about the Ora Juice products is that they are not tested on animals. This gives you the comfort of knowing that the best products are created with love and compassion.

All in all, these products are made to keep your skin healthy and help refine that me time that as parents, we miss so much. Giving that sense of self-care that everyone needs. Be sure to check out their website or Instagram for more information and updates.

How do you take some extra time to reclaim your skincare? What is your favorite way to sneak in some self-care for yourself?

Rewriting How We See Literature

Rewriting How We See Literature
Beauty Brite Disclosure

When was the last time you sat down with a good book? With the discovery of what’s now known as Booktok, people are finally falling in love with reading again, rewriting how we see literature in this day and age.

As a teenager, growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s I would devour books. Then life happened and so did kids and I just didn’t have the time to sit down and read. Now that my kids are getting older and able to be more self-sufficient, I am actually able to find my way back into books. Bringing so much-needed relaxation into the chaos of four children. I also hope to instill that love of reading into my children. Because reading gives you knowledge, and knowledge gives you power!

The Great Literature of our Time.

When you think of literature, what comes to mind? Things like Greek Mythology, where you have Odysseus of Ithaca, Zeus, Hades, and Persephone. Following into a land where you can get away from everyday life. A small getaway from the crazy world that we currently live in. Sometimes that is where you least expect to find peace in the words written on a page.

That is why when I discovered Immortal Perfumes, I couldn’t help but feel excited about what they have to offer. My favorite scent is by far Hades. With hints of Belladonna ( safe to wear as a fragrance oil, so don’t worry! ), Cypress, and Narcissus, the scent is light and airy. I have gotten so many compliments when I wear it. With hit novel scents like Jane Eyre, and Gatsby there is a scent for everyone.

Oueen of the Night



After not only falling in love with many of the signature scents, I love the company’s values regarding loving humanity. Creating a safe space for those who need it and bringing back the love of literature and the knowledge that reading brings. To learn more about JT Seims and Immortal Perfumes, be sure to check out their website.

In an era where technology is at the forefront, sometimes it’s just nice to put it all away and pick up a good book. To let your mind run to a place of imagination, where the outside world is just quiet for a few minutes. Hopefully you can not only enjoy a good book, but you can find an amazing secent that you love from Immortal Perfumes.

Fall Finds To Add To Your Wardrobe

Fall Finds To Add To Your Wardrobe

The best time of year is finally here! Fall, has officially arrived and I couldn’t be happier. Is it just me or does life seem to slow down a bit in the fall, it’s almost like the calm before the storm of the holiday season. You can just breathe easier.

Fall is in the air.

As the days begin to end earlier and the cool, crisp air fills your lungs in the mornings, it’s the perfect time to take a step back and breathe. The vivid colors of yellows, oranges, and reds fill the tree line as the season changes. As you walk, the crunch of leaves under your feet, and the air begins to smell of all things fall. Your senses are on overdrive from the smell of fresh baked pies, autumn spices, and pumpkins.

Delight Naturals take your fall senses to the next level with their fall-inspired lip balms. With so many amazing scents, it’s hard to choose your favorite! Out of all of them though, I think mine would have to be the Spiced Pear Lip Balm. With a base of coconut oil and beeswax, there is no greasy feeling left behind. Unlike most balms, these don’t leave behind chunks of the balm on your lips, just a smooth, velvety feeling.

The Harvest Pies Lip Balm set reminds me of where I was in elementary school. We would have a festival every year where there would be a cakewalk, so the whole gym would smell like all these delicious pies and cakes. It was something as a child I looked forward to every year. The sound of laughter filled the air as families spent the evenings together. And the biggest worry was not being able to get the bean bag inside the smiling pumpkins.

Spiced Pear

It’s so funny how just a smell can bring back such fun memories. A time when life was a little slower, and the weight of the world wasn’t so darn hard. A time when laughter and fun-filled the air. When a community came together and made sure the kids had some much-needed time to unwind and just be little. The world these days is so fast-paced.

So this season be sure to grab you one of the new fall lip balms from Delight Naturals. And let the joy of the cooler weather fill the air. If you are interested in grabbing your own be sure to visit their website, Facebook, or Instagram!

When Life Gives You Lemons

I started writing for BeautyBrite almost 8 years ago, as a way to have an outlet because of a car accident that almost killed me. And almost 8 years later I’m right back in the same position, of sitting here not being able to walk again after my 10th surgery ( my 4th ankle operation). While so much has changed it’s hard not to look at this situation and get overcome with emotions of just how much my life has changed since that cold November day.

A day that started like every other, ending in one of the worst nightmares I could ever imagine. This person who had no regard for anyone but himself to get behind the wheel with a blood alcohol level of .36, how none of us died I’ll never know. No one should have gotten out of this accident alive.

Car accident 2016

I sit here knowing that there is a plan, a plan even if I don’t know what it is. I shouldn’t have survived three out of four limbs being broken, a compound fracture to the left arm and dislocated elbow, a concussion, a shattered heel, a cut so deep on my right knee it almost severed my leg, and breaking my right wrist.

Some days the pain is so bad I can hardly walk or move, and yet I keep going. I keep going because I have four tiny people who count on me. I won’t let this pain stop me. I won’t let the unknown stop me. I won’t let the multiple hurdles stop me.

Drunk driving is preventable, if you see something say something. Don’t let someone get behind the wheel because next time that family/ your family may not be so lucky. For more information please click here.

So when life gives you lemons make lemonade and take a deep breath because it’s all going to be ok somehow.

Summer Products You Must Have

Summer Products You Must Have

Beauty Brite Disclosure

Summer is here and I am so excited! The sun shining, the light breeze against your skin. So when it comes to Summer skin care you want the very best for your body. I’ve got some of my favorite Summertime products that will brighten your day.

Summer Time is here!

Visor Sunscreen

I love the water so no matter if it’s the beach or the pool or even the lake, as long as I’m by the water my heart is happy. So being in the sun all day I need a good sunscreen to keep my skin safe and protected from the UVB rays. That is where Visor Skincare comes into play. This sunscreen has no smell and no sticky feeling of leftover goo. It goes on smoothly and is safe for all skin types. With no alcohol added I don’t have to worry about it being harsh on my skin. So I can enjoy the sun and water all day without worry of my skin being burned. The protection puts my mind at ease so I can spend the day enjoying my surroundings and not having to wonder if I’m going to be a lobster at the end of the day.

Reveka Soap

When a day in the water is over I love coming home to take a nice relaxing shower to wash off the day’s grime. Let me tell you I have found the most amazing soap by Reveka. This soap smells AMAZING, and you actually feel “clean” when using it. Some other soaps I’ve used in the past leave you with a residue on your skin but not the 4 in 1 total body bar by Reveka. My oldest daughter who struggles with extremely sensitive skin also uses this body soap and I have honestly seen a difference in her skin. It’s so much less red and itchy as she suffers from hot spots and raw areas. This soap is full of Topical Magnesium which helps give your skin its vital vitamins which leaves your skin feeling healthy and hydrated. Sold on Amazon, this soap is a must-have!

Astarella Cream

After a refreshing bath or shower, refreshing your skin is a must. This orange-scented Astrella Primetime Skin Cream by Sun Chlorella is my favorite after-sun and fun addition. This cream helps reduce your skin’s fine lines and wrinkles and locks in hydration. This cream is a must-have in your daily skincare regimen.

Summer has me more active whether it be in the pool, ocean, or just outside spending time with family, which means more chronic pain. 7 years ago I was in a car accident that almost killed me ( click here to learn more about it ) and I broke 3 out of 4 limbs and still struggle with chronic pain. Because I’m more active and on my feet more, as well as working full time I tend to look for pain management that isn’t a narcotic or going to be habit-forming or harsh on my body.

Tree Frog

And that’s where my two favorite pain relief creams come into play. The first is Treefrog Pain Relief. This cream was created in Costa Rica and is all-natural. Its plant-based formula is vegan and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. I prefer this cream daily because as a reptile momma, it feels right on brand for me.

I find that on day’s when work is really stressing me out that coming home and using Wholesome Hippy’s Calm Cream really helps sooth my oversensitve nerves. The light scent leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to bounch back to business. Living with chronic pain is exhausting but it’s nice to finally have products to actually help me not feel so bogged down all the time.

Summer comes with so many chances to explore some new fun products. What do you think will be your favorite out of these products?

For Those With A Busy Lifestyle

As a single mom, I feel like I am always busy or on-the-go! I try to find time for myself in between caring for my son and two dogs! I am also juggling running our household as well! For those with a busy lifestyle, we found products that are perfect for you! 

For Those With A Busy Lifestyle

I love staying busy. I know two dogs is a lot of work, especially for myself and my situation. My son does require extra care compared to kids his age. However, the benefits of having our dogs far outweigh the added toll it can take. My dogs keep me company during the day when I am home alone. Before having dogs, it was so lonely and quiet! Now, our home is filled with tippy taps, snoring, farts, and lots of love!
