Recently, I have been researching ways to implement natural and plant based products into my house and my beauty routine. I have mentioned in several posts about my love for plant based cleansers and skincare as well as the bountiful benefits of Hemp Oil and CBD oil products. The area where I have fell short is finding ways to replace my make up with natural and plant based options that were affordable.
I have been on a journey to heal my body with alternatives to harmful and addictive medications. I suffer from depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and low back pain associated with Sciatica. I advocate constantly for mental health and I promote alternative healing. However, that being said, I also support those who choose therapy and medication. For myself, I have found that the best path has been alternative medicine and natural, plant based products.

I work a desk job and sometimes it is difficult to find that push I need to start my day. I have the great opportunity of flexing my schedule so that I can have Friday’s off but, unfortunately, that means I work 10 hour days Monday – Thursday. Sometimes the days drag on and I hit that mid-morning and mid-afternoon wall and I go searching the break-room for coffee.
Do you really know what’s in your beauty products? Have you ever wondered what those ingredients actually are? If like me, you are concerned about what you’re putting on your skin, it might be time to join the clean beauty revolution.
Clean beauty is more than simply switching to all-natural products. It’s about using ingredients that are safer for your skin and body, whether they’re man-made or natural. In most cases, this translates to cruelty-free products which don’t contain parabens, phthalates, sulfates, silicones, and synthetic fragrances.
Recently, I have been trying to teach my daughter how to grow food and flowers as she is learning so much while in her preschool class. They have been going over how flowers grow, why leaves change, and where food comes from. However, I will be the first to admit that I have NO gardening experience whatsoever. I was raised by my Southern grandmother and while she grew up on a farm and had a garden of her own, the green thumb did not pass down.
In the fall, one of my favorite pieces of clothing is a great pair of leggings. From the gym to a quick trip to the grocery store, they are definitely a perfect cool weather Beauty Find must have…. [read more]
I find myself being pretty picky with the beauty products I use. I recently had to buy a few items for my son since they were going to teach them basic skills (oral health, combing hair, using deodorant, lotion, etc). After gathering all the supplies, I realized I already had a natural deodorant I could have added to my son’s supplies, instead, I bought him at the store. I am going through the products I use with my son as well.
Since having my daughter, I have suffered from sciatic nerve pain in my back and down my leg. I have been through MRI’s, X-Ray’s, and injections. Doctors have told me that I need multiple prescription inflammation medications. At this point, I am exhausted from physical therapy visits, chiropractor adjustments, and medication refills and I wanted a more natural option for treating my pain and inflammation.

I am the worst about shoving all of my clutter into one area. Especially when it comes to dirty clothes or my children’s toys. Any corner will work, and an empty diaper box will do. It literally drives my husband CRAZY! Lorena Canals, however, has an endless amount of home goods available, and the Zoco Vintage Blue Natural basket is the perfect addition to my home.
