Reminder: It’s okay to say no. No to plans that drain you, no to commitments that don’t align with your priorities, and no to things that add unnecessary stress. Saying no doesn’t make you selfish—it protects your time, energy, and peace.

Trying to make the switch to a non-toxic home—slowly but surely! It’s overwhelming to overhaul everything at once, so I’m taking it step by step. Starting with swapping out cleaning products, being more mindful of ingredients in personal care items, and looking for healthier alternatives for everyday things.

Mom guilt is real and hits in so many ways—whether it’s working full-time, needing a break, or just feeling like we’re not doing ‘enough.’ But the truth is, being a good mom doesn’t mean being perfect. It means loving our kids, showing up for them, and doing our best (even on the hard days).

I’ll be honest- I have no idea what I am doing.

I just know I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am tired of being on this never ending hamster wheel of work, life, bills, kids- repeat. I’m tired of feeling like a failure. I’m tired of feeling defeated. I compare my simple little life to other people’s extravagant life- way too much. Then, I give myself grace and know I’m doing my best- repeat. I’m just tired.

Sick and tired. I dont know what I am doing, still- I just know I needed to start doing SOMETHING different. So, I swapped.

I didn’t go on a rampage and clean out my whole house. No one can REALLY afford that.

But, I just opened my eyes…

I realized WHAT I was using everyday is exactly the thing that is hurting me and my family. How could I continue to do this? I know it’s just a cleaner, or even juice. But really.. look at the CRAP we are allowing our children to have.. allowing to soak into our skin and damage us in the future. It may be a small change.. but it makes a world of difference. I’m sick and tired & you should be too.

“It’s okay- I’ll just get it from somewhere else..”

Do you know how many times I hear that? So SO many. Yeah, these products could be available on other sites. Or have ‘dupes’… but WHY would you want something that cost SO much more (literally double the price) or a dupe that could have harmful ingredients to you? When we open our eyes and see what is around us, we will know!

This lotion has helped my skin tremendously! With my butterfly rashes it’s hard to find something that puts the moisture back in, but doesn’t burn due to fragrance. Not to mention my hands/ feet due to the cold weather recently! No greasy residue, no harmful ingredients. American made, natural products.🍃🇺🇸❤️
