Clean Lipliners

Clean Beauty Lipliners

July 18, 2018
IMG_4032.JPG

Let's chat clean beauty lipliners! Since Beautycounter doesn't offer lip liners at this time, I've had to test and try out different clean versions. Here are my favorites and color suggestions for most lipstick colors. 

Try to not be distracted by my messy handwriting to see my lipliner suggestions to coordinate with Beautycounter's Color Intense Lipstick shades. 

Lipliners are fantastic with keeping lipstick from creeping into the little fine lines, helps with longer lipstick wear and to change up lipstick colors. Don't be afraid to use with lip gloss as well!

RMS Daytime Nude - The perfect neutral for light to medium skin tones.

RMS Nighttime Nude - Deeper neutral for all skin tones.

Jane Iredale Earth Red - Warm burnt red

Jane Iredale Plum - Cool deep plum

Pro tip: You don't need an exact match of lip liner to lipstick. RMS Daytime Nude or Nighttime Nude depending on skin tone can be used for reds, plums, etc.

DIY Air Freshener

DIY Air Freshener

July 9, 2018

Instead of grabbing the Febreze, try making your own air freshener!👇👇👇

Safe & Non-Toxic DIY Air Freshener, Body Refresher, or deodorant recipe:

👉4oz dark glass bottle
👉Lavender 30-35 Drops (Young Living or doTerra)
👉Purification 30-35 Drops (Young Living or doTerra)
👉Witch Hazel or vodka l 1/3 cup
👉Purified/distilled H2o -Fill
—Fill w/ witch hazel or vodka (acts as an emulsifier)
—Then add oils
—swirl
—then add purified/distilled H2o

I like to use this to clear the air of bad smells or as a deodorant. Also, spray in stinky boy shoes to deodorize them 😂

😷Most conventional air fresheners have toxic chemicals like 1,4-Dichlorobenzene (a pesticide linked to lung damage, also known as a carcinogen.), phthalates (hormone disruptor), and ethylene-based glycol ethers (classified by the EPA as hazardous air pollutants) to name a few.

Do you know what's In your water?

April 28, 2018

Water, an integral part of our survival, without it, we would not remain alive. Have you ever thought about what's in your tap water? Filtered or not? It should be safe to drink, right? Did you know that even trace levels of these contaminants like; chromium hexavalent (yes, this is the contaminant that Erin Brokovich dealt with), arsenic, lead, pharmaceutical drugs, etc. can cause many health issues. Health problems such as cancer, hormone disruption, organ damage, thyroid issues...this list can go on and on. Bottled water, well, this is a multi-billion dollar industry that has not only wreaked havoc on the environment and many communities (watch the documentary Tapped) but has fewer regulations than tap water, that is crazy!!! Not okay. 

My husband and I have always used a water filter of some sort, whether it was a Brita pitcher or refrigerator filter. We were thinking about doing a reverse osmosis water system, but then we would need to take supplements for the lack of minerals with such a system. After much research, we decided on the Big Berkey System 2.25 gallon capacity for our family of 3. It's a perfect size for us, easy to fill and use. (see links below) We love it! The water tastes like nothing. Clean. How it should be. 

Environmental Working Group has a tap water database. Look yours up. Here is what I found in my zip code: 
https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/system.php…

The last time there was an assessment of our water supply in Dallas county was January to March 2017; the results were compliant with federal health-based safety standards. In 2015, ten contaminants tested above health guidelines. Also, are the contaminant levels that are legal, really safe? Plenty of scientists believe even in small amounts; most contaminants could still pose a health issue. Decide for yourself, do your research, get your family a water filtration system/pitcher. There are a lot of reputable brands that can get most of the contaminants out. (see resources below)
