Why Beautycounter & Choosing Safer Beauty
As many of you know, after my accident a couple years ago and during my recovery a big focus for me has been on how to lead a healthier lifestyle for me and my family. And it’s not just about what we eat anymore, it’s also about the health and beauty products we put on our bodies every day. I’ve been on a mission to find healthier and safer alternatives not just for me but for the whole family. One of the most important things is becoming more aware of what’s in your conventional health and beauty products and why they might be bad for you and your health. That…
Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Make the Switch to Safer Beauty
We’re nearing the end of October and I feel I’m a bit late for Breast Cancer Awareness month but better late than never especially with something this important. While I’ve been doing my own fundraising by contributing 100% of my Stella & Dot sales to the Canadian Cancer Society this month, I thought this is such an important time to get back on my clean soap box and talk a bit about safer beauty and why it’s so important to make the switch. And now is the perfect time to try something new with one of my favourite safer beauty brands, Beautycounter. This rarely happens but you can get 10%…
Make the Switch to Safer Non-Toxic Sunscreen
Today is another gorgeous sunny summer day here in Toronto! Actually this whole week has been pretty awesome! Yesterday we spent the majority of the day at a friend’s pool for a fun kids summer dance party! Thanks for having us over – you know who you are! As I was applying sunscreen on the kids I realized I haven’t actually shared my thoughts on safer sunscreen. And it’s funny because it’s probably one of the first things we switched to non-toxic, especially for the kids, and also one of the items everyone seems to ask me for advice on. We all know the sun is bad for us, causing…
Pucker Up and Make the Switch to Non-Toxic Lipstick!
Happy Hump Day everyone! It’s been so hard getting back into the swing of things this week. I guess that’s what happens after a long weekend! Hope you all had a great long weekend! We definitely did…between birthday parties, BBQs and fireworks we also took some time to do a little Spring cleaning and gardening too! And it also reminded me it’s time to do a bit more of a clean up of my beauty routine! As many of you know, this past year I’ve been on a journey to find safer health and beauty options for me and my family. We slowly started doing our research and found a…
Make the Switch to Safer Non-Toxic Deodorant!
As many of you know for the last year and half I’ve been really focused on looking for safer personal care products for me and the family! It’s been my mission since I had an accident and started learning more about the health effects from the things we eat and the things we put on our bodies. We only have one body, so we have to protect it. I haven’t posted on here in a while about my quest for safer health and beauty products for me and the family, so shame on me! No seriously, we’ve been a bit busy but also wanted to make sure we’re really testing…
Ultimate Galentine’s Day Gift Yourself Guide
Happy Galentine’s Day everyone!! Today is February 13th the new official day for “ladies celebrating ladies” according to Parks & Recreation Leslie Knope. So I would like to say a special thank you to all the wonderful ladies in my life (you know who you are) for being so strong, smart and beautiful inside and out! And for always being there. Thank you! To me today is also a day to love and celebrate ourselves (we’re special too!) and treat ourselves a bit. I’ll be honest, my husband and I don’t really exchange gifts for Valentine’s Day so today just seems like the perfect day to indulge a little and…
Clean Beauty Essentials to Help You Survive this Winter
It’s no secret, I love beauty products. While I like to try new things, like many of you I do have my favourites and my go-to’s for my beauty regimen. It’s also no secret that I am not a fan of the winter. It’s just so cold and windy, – it’s just freezing out there! And once winter hits our skin care needs definitely change with the frigid weather. This winter’s cold dry air and wind outside coupled with the dry heat inside are wreaking havoc on my skin, in particular my face! And I bet it’s the same for a lot of you who live in a rather cold…
Choose Clean: How to Make the Switch to Safer Beauty
We’re a few days into the New Year and a lot of us have made our New Year resolutions already. One of the big ones for me this year is to focus on getting healthier and on my wellness. And I bet a lot of you have that as a goal too.

It may be a goal you have too. Have you thought about cleaning up your beauty routine this year? If not this may change your mind. The…
