A Few Must Haves For Your Next Joyus Occasion

With life comes joy, and with joy comes celebration. The expectant mother in your life has just delivered her baby and you’re wondering what to bring her as a quick pick-me-up. Your niece graduated high school with honors and you’re left scrambling for a celebratory beverage or a way to help brighten the day. Regardless of the woman in your life, we have a pick me up for your next joyus celebration.

Joyus

Joyus offers 4 non-alcoholic wine beverages that are perfect for any cause of celebration. You have the classic rose’ and even the ever-sophisticated Cabernet Sauvignon. They also offer sparkling rose‘ and sparkling wine.

Now I get it, you’ve heard of other sparkling wines and you’re kind of leery if this is the one for you BUT Joyus’ sparkling wine (white) is so phenomenal that it, “won a bronze medal in not only a completely blind tasting but one of the biggest and oldest wine competitions in the world” and their sparkling Rosé won gold! . That speaks volumes about the quality that Joyus’ non-alcoholic beverages have to offer when it comes to your next celebration.

Not every occasion is appropriate for an alcoholic beverage – with Joyus you can’t celebrate with the same great taste but without the alcohol!

If you’re in search of a straightforward and easy-to-use beauty find – Unicorn Glow has got you covered. Whether you’re looking for a little extra glow to highlight your stunning facial features or a serum to help grow your natural lashes, Unicorn Glow has got you covered.

I personally gave UNICORN GLOW’s Chill Out Cooling Glimmer & Glow Stick in the shade 01 Coin a try and was instantly mesmerized in the shimmer I was given. Sun or shine, you are definitely going to glow with this shade! They also offer one other shade, Dress which is also a beaut!

I was also pleasantly thrilled with UNICORN Glow’s growing lash serum! I used this for 3 weeks and began seeing amazing results. Thicker and fuller lashes that required less mascara to get my desired look! I cannot recommend this product enough,

Unicorn Glow also offers stunning eyeshadows, lipglosses, and more to complete any look.

Preparing For Warmer Weather Ahead

Four Healthy Snacks to Add to Your Back to School Stash - social media

This past year has been a whirlwind of events between the current pandemic and life in general. This summer, however, things are starting to fall into a place of “normalcy” and with that comes a sense of relief. I am finally able to enjoy warmer weather and all that, that entails. Sunshine, swimming pools, and cookouts.

First on the list with a group full of kids and warmer weather – sunscreen!

Sunscreen safe for kids

I know sunscreen seems like a common-sense item – however with a winter full of eczema finding the perfect sunscreen for my youngest has been pretty tricky. We came across Noodle & Boo SPF 30 Play Day Mineral Sunscreen. Noodle & Boo is made up of both Titanium Dioxide as well as well as Zinc Oxide – providing optimal skin coverage with up to 40 minutes of water resistance.

Reef Safe Sunscreen

This sunscreen is also paba-free, non-nano, REEF SAFE, and pediatrician tested. Noodle & Boo is a must-have in our outdoor bag because whether we are at the splash pad OR the playground, I know my kid’s skin is covered from harmful UVA & UVB Rays!

Covid Cases may be on a decline in my area due to warmer weather, however, the use of hand sanitizer is not!

While I generally try to stick with “clean” beauty products, I must admit that my guilty pleasure includes Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers! I love to catch them on sale and stock up on the in seasons scents. I keep them in my car, each of my purses, my kid’s backpacks, lunch boxes, etc. However with my daughter’s Celiac diagnosis, I had to look for a safer alternative, and for us, that was Dr. Bronner’s hand sanitizer.

Hand sanitizer to protect against germs

I cannot do this company justice enough with how clean and how many ways there are to use Dr. Bronner’s soaps – but their hand sanitizer gave the right amount of CLEAN scent while also giving me a clean conscious that the items my girls are using are gluten-free and safe for their bodies.

One other way I have prepared for the warmer weather and frequent outings include Once Upon A Farm snack packs!

Four Healthy Snacks to Add to Your Back to School Stash

I have reviewed Once Upon A Farm yogurt packs in the past and if anything, it just ignited our love for this company. I love how clearly labeled everything is and that I can make a purchase of their products knowing that they have chosen the most organic goods when it comes to the recipes they use. Our fridge stays stocked with Once Upon A Farm yogurts but recently we added Dairy Free Smoothies and Overnight Oats!

A Keto Twist on Your Go-To Sandwich

A Keto Twist on Your Go To Sandwich
Beauty Brite Disclosure

The Keto Diet has been making its way across the U.S. as a top leading contender in weight loss. I have looked into this diet a few times but just couldn’t commit. I’m the type of person who needs it laid out in front of me exactly what I can and cannot have! Instead, I find tons of cheats or hacks, which is great except I still don’t know what I am supposed to have. In the meantime, I have been adding bits and pieces of the diet plan into my meals and one way I have found the easiest way to cut corners is with sandwiches.
