I thought it might be fun to share some spring favorites since the annual Friends & Family sale is coming up soon. Sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to be notified when it starts. First Date Lipstick – this is the perfect pink lipstick for spring. I’m not a huge lipstick person, but I may have to pull this one out for re-entry into the world (fingers crossed) or my first real date with Matt at an outdoor…
I can’t believe the holiday season is here. We usually do a secret Santa with my family, and since I won’t be going to stores this year, I’m trying to get organized in advance. Shipping delays are also expected, so Beautycounter started the ‘Black Friday’ sale early. This is their biggest sale of the year, so it’s a great time to try new skincare or purchase gifts! Everything is 15% off with free shipping over $50. The big regimens +…

Primally Pure Baby Balm This stuff is awesome. Emerson had bad eczema behind her knees and this is the only balm that worked. It contains tallow from grass-fed cows which is incredibly nutrient dense and helps with skin cell repair (Vitamin D) + soothes skin inflammation and irritation (Vitamin K). Countersun Sunscreen Stick I love this stick because it goes on thick (and clear), so it stays in place and won’t run into little eyes. It’s also easy to apply…
