Whole Foods Finds for Beauty Week

No Comments

It’s Whole Foods’ Beauty Week this week! From March 11 (yesterday) – March 17 all beauty is 25% off, with an extra 10% off for Prime Members so thats a super sweet deal. It includes skincare, makeup and haircare – so all kinds of good stuff! I thought it might be helpful and fun to put together a list of green beauty items that I like and have used or want to try that you can find at Whole Foods in case you want to try something new with the discount. Be on the lookout for the Beauty Bag that […]

February Subscription Box Favorites

No Comments

Another month, another round-up of my favorite finds from my subscription box haul! I just really feel like I have the best subscription box collection to review every month and it’s getting harder and harder to pick a favorite from each box, but I’ve figured out how to narrow it down. Seriously though, it was hard to choose so you should definitely check out the full reviews for each (linked below) to see the full collections. I keep sharing snippets from each monthly box to give an idea of the awesome green and natural products you can get for a […]

Oui Fresh Mystery Box Review

No Comments

So, I’d been wanting to try out the Oui Fresh subscription box for awhile now. I always eye the enticing emails they send with the month’s preview of goods, I just never jumped on it. BUT, I recently saw the sad news that they are retiring the Oui Fresh brand, including the subscription box and along with that they had a steal of a flash sale for $5 mystery boxes so I finally jumped! The thing I like most about subscription boxes is the surprise element so they really got me with the word “mystery” and the second thing I […]

January Subscription Box Favorites

No Comments

Subscription boxes are really starting out on the right foot this year! January boxes came in hot and were packed with delightful goods. I’m thinking they’ve set the tone for a fabulous year ahead. Like I’ve mentioned before if you’re new to conscious/holistic living it can be a bit overwhelming trying to find products you trust. Subscription boxes can be a great way to get introduced to brands that are cleaner or greener at a fraction of the cost. As usual I review a handful of boxes and don’t always get around to sharing the full reviews so I wanted […]

Seven Things Sunday – vol. 3

No Comments

Happy New Year friends! I’m here with the first 7 Things Sunday of 2020! I hope you all had a nice holiday and are adjusting well to the new decade. The holidays were nuts for me with traveling, celebrating, planning and throwing a 1 year old birthday party. I’m pooped to say the least. So I’ve been taking it as easy as possible since. I did get the Christmas decorations put away, but the baby’s party decor? Ya, that might (will) be up for a few more weeks. I always get sad when the decorations get put away so I’m […]

Holiday Gift Guide: Stockings

No Comments

Opening stockings on Christmas morning is a fond memory for me. I loved waking up to what was once just a decoration but overnight became a glorious present pouch jam-packed with so many tiny surprises all individually wrapped from “Santa.” Oh, the joys of being young! Stockings are still fun but so often I focus on getting presents for people that I forget all about stocking stuffers! If you’re anything like me and need a few ideas check out my guide below for some excellent products to fill those socks to the brim! Under $15 1 – Travel Utensil Set […]

Holiday Gift Guide: 4 Kiddos

No Comments

I’ve got another gift guide round-up for your holiday shopping needs! This one is all for the kids in your life. Most of these items are thoughtfully crafted, fun, educational and many are even eco-friendly. I feel like there’s a time and a place for the obnoxious plastic toys (which I prefer to get second-hand anyway), but I’d really rather purchase toys that ignite more imagination and whose quality outlasts the length of play. These should all do just that and more! 1 – Animals Book by Ingela P. ArrheniusMy sister bought this for my little gal and it’s amazing. […]
