Hooray, Happy Earth Day! Lying in bed last night, I was thinking about how so much of our conversation about the Earth revolves around how it's hurting, and what we're doing to heal it (important stuff). But in our fervor, I think we sometimes forget to talk about the pure, intense joy Mother Earth brings each of us. ⠀
⠀
This weekend, we visited family and the California coast, which – despite loving the #PNW – I miss so much it makes my heart hurt sometimes. This picture is me and my kid at the beach, mostly unprepared, loving everything about it. She couldn't get enough of the sensation of the cold waves and the silky sand moving around her tiny feet, and would have dived right into those waves if I'd have let her. #firsttimemom⠀
⠀
Back on Vashon, some mornings I'm greeted by the brightest blue sky framed by trees, and I feel like my heart will burst with awe. On those days, the neighbors can probably hear me singing to my baby (let's get real, to myself) "Oh, what a beautiful morning, Oh, what a beautiful day" because the joy is that pure and I'm that cool. ⠀
⠀
What are your favorite gifts – big or small – from Mother Nature where you live? What songs fill your ears when you see her beauty and think, "hot dog, this is going to be a beautiful day!"?⠀

"Free from" this, "free from" that. We know we want to avoid certain chemicals, but why? Today on the blog, I'm talking about bioaccumulation, and its implication for the world of "safe doses" we live in. Spoiler alert: Every single choice you make to reduce exposure matters, so keep making those small changes – they add up. #cleanbeauty #safercosmetics #yougotthis
I was at a pop-up event and started talking to a gal who walked in about NTB. That’s when she reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out her tube of Beauregarde that she carries with her everywhere. I definitely nearly burst into tears.
Nothing feels quite as good as seeing one of my well-loved products in the wild. Honored to be among @vinagisella_makeup’s favorite things!
It's a sunny Monday and I haven't killed this little succulent yet! Such a day calls for a celebratory bright pop of Wednesdays 💋
Y'all, today is an exciting day! #GreenBeauty makeup artist @kristenarnettbeauty teamed up with @navagoindieshop to create this fabulous tutorial, "5 Minute Makeup Over 40," and chose #NakedTruthBeauty for all of beautiful model Bennette's lip, cheek, and eye color!

Growing up we learned the 3 Rs: Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, but now we've got twice as many. Add to the list:⠀
+ Refuse (do you really need that free bag? Think of it as #Kondo -ing in advance.)⠀
+ Repair ("When a problem comes along, you must [fix] it") ⠀
+ Rethink (How can we do it differently?)⠀
⠀
We've tried to #Rethink traditional cosmetics practices from start to finish, and part of that is the packaging. Even our @ecoenclose padded mailers are made of 100% recycled material and 100% recyclable and biodegradable. #plasticfree #betterbeauty #sustainable
Energy is contagious - spread joy 🌼 #tbt to the time @makenadegolier wore Promise Me, Rose on her lids and made us smile.
We talk about making Earth-friendly choices when it comes to makeup, but what about in the other areas of our lives? Today on the blog, I'm sharing a DIY Sugaring recipe that actually works. Made from only sugar, lemon, and water, this easy-to-use, hurts-less-than-waxing putty is non-toxic, zero-waste, and results-oriented. Though this how-to makes at-home "waxing" easier, remember to support your local professionals when you can!
