It may only be Halloween, but Christmas will be here before you know it (ugh… can time slow down a little bit, please??). So, in the spirit of the upcoming holiday, I thought I’d share a few of “My Favorite Things.”
These aren’t gift ideas (although you certainly could give some of them… I know I’d love to receive them!), but some of my favorite clean eating and non-toxic beauty products.
Last night, I was chatting with my BFF about the biz and the new membership program I am building (which btw, you have a MAJOR say in... you can let me know what you want right here) and she said, "You basically help people cut all the crap out of their life. You de-crapify their lives!" We both laughed. But, you know what? That actually is my passion.
To help you de-crapify your life.
Recently, I had the opportunity to take my first ever, behind-the-scenes tour of a manufacturer. And I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty darn excited.
Ever since I ended up with advanced adrenal fatigue back in 2014, I have been MUCH more conscious of the foods that I eat and the products that I use. It was like a veil was lifted off of my eyes and I realized that it is up to ME to take care of my health. No one else is going to do it for me.

This past week, I had the privilege of attending my very first natural products expo in Baltimore. As a blogger (or "influencer") who focuses on healthy living and being very passionate about healthy eating and non-toxic products in my own personal life, this event was like Disneyland for me. Granted, I was a little like a deer in headlights at the beginning, due to the sheer immensity of it all. But it was also super exciting, getting the opportunity to speak with so many amazing companies and people in the industry and getting to sample so many delicious new products.
You want to hear something ridiculous?
The U.S. government has not passed a federal law to regulate the safety of ingredients in personal care products since 1938.*
Want to hear something even more ridiculous?
Many of the 80,000 chemicals commonly found in beauty care products today do not have safety data.*
Yep, that's the truth. And if that's not crazy enough...
Believe it or not, December is almost here, (wasn't it just the 4th of July?) which means it's time for... you guessed it, Christmas shopping!
Now, if you're like me, you're probably looking forward to doing most of your shopping online this year so you don't have to fight with the lines, the crowds and the endless circles around the parking lots.
ShiftCon is the only social media conference that focuses on food, wellness, health and the environment. It was born out of the idea that we (bloggers, content creators and other social media influencers) can have a profound impact on the world around us. We can literally shift how we eat, how we raise our families and the impact that we have on our environment.
To organize the eco-wellness niche into a powerful online community, ShiftCon blends together workshops, networking, collaboration and parties to inspire and empower attendees to take their communication to the next level.
It's a one-of-a-kind experience with amazing people that are bringing about amazing change.
