I am loving my NEW beauty counter line of cosmetics and facial regime products! 

Not aware of the brand?! You should be!

They are lobbying Capitol Hill to get us the most non-toxic, safe, high performance body, facial, and hair care products in the USA– possibly world! 

No regulations have been set by the U.S. Since 1938 on chemicals that are put in our personal products.  With those regulations ONLY 11 ingredients are prohibited!  

The European Union has 1,400! Beauty Counter has went a step further and made a list of 1,500 THEY WILL NEVER USE in any of their products because of known carcinogens, hormonal disrupters, allergens, and so on and so forth! 

Interested in learning more–

Check out beauty counter for yourself or message me!

Essential oils and cooking with quinoa!

Want to “beef” up your lunch, dust off your immune system, and do it  all at one time?! 

Here’s a healthy food solution! 

• Grass fed home grown beef
• Organic quinoa
• Wild Thymes chili ginger marinade
• Wild Oats Garbanzo and black beans (I don’t normally buy this brand– but it was a quick pick up)! 
• Fresh Organic Ginger (shredded).
• Organic white onion
• Baleine Sea Salt (sprinkled to taste).
• Pepper Medley (not sure of supplier). 
• DoTerra essential oil Oregano 5 drops. 

The oregano is helpful in stimulating your immune system –among other things! 





I let it simmer until the grass fed beef was medium cooked. 

I jazzed the plate up with lemon– feel free to drizzle across meal!

Feel free to substitute and if you do please share with me what you did! 

I love what essential oils do for me, my family, and those who would like to gain control of their family’s health with alternative and healthier measures –please message me! I’d love to help and promote healthier living!

DoTerra Slim & Sassy AND ClaryCalm

One week ago today I had decided to start on my essential oil journey with these two! 

The reason being — I’m over weight, have PCOS, hormonal issues, along with other medical conditions that have me drained, depressed, and at a standstill with weightloss and the hopes of ever conceiving. 

In addition to that, deep down — I just want to be healthy and happy! 

My one week of progress:

I have noted less appetite, not sure if it’s the oils or my mind set. Either way, I LIKE IT! 

Since I have hormonal issues, my chin is continually breaking out (check out face mapping– your skin tells a lot about you)!  With that being said– NO BREAK OUTS!  My skin is clearing up!  



I use my clarycalm roll on over my belly and lower abdomen area once a day.  And do 5-8 drops of slim & sassy in my water. Once or twice a day.  DoTerra recommends more– but I’m happy with this right now! 

My MOOD:

Maybe it’s the clear skin, the lack of appetite, or THE OILS are actually working –but I’m feeling lighter! Good moods across the board! 

My exercise routine is yoga once a week. I’d like to get into a nice walk/jog regimen — my back and legs permitting! 

Well, that’s all for now! 

If you are interested in essential oils or just following me in this journey please do so! 

Here’s a link for my DoTerra site as well ✌️💗😊

Energies– mine is low with less light and more frigid temperatures. Sunshine WHERE ARE YOU!? 

I needed a boost and found a good read on balancing and bringing in a higher frequency.

HERE YOU GO: (Incase you’re like me and in the winter funk)!

clean eating, happiness, hippie, hippy, organic, tea

Ate some good stuff today– trying to eat clean and all organic. AND ITS DELICIOUS!  And yes, I’m being lazy and eating in front of the tv with a pillow on my lap as a table!  Hey, don’t judge.. Haha! 

I had a busy day — so this is the perfect and relaxing end to my day! 

SOME THOUGHT:

My local area does not have enough clean eating and healthy places to grab and go!  I’m thinking this maybe a fun adventure for possibly a new career and my forever creative and growing soul! 

BUT, where to begin?!  Right, where do you begin – especially with the food industry! Laws and regulations, investments, and so much more! 

Well, it’s been a long day and I’m cutting this one short…  Although, I do want to share a sweet link I seen today that was about detox teas — YUMMY!

Let’s give this a GO!

Starting FRESH with a new mindset, healthy habits, fun, creativity, friends, family, and just plain LIVING (well, not so plain 😜)!

And I want to blog about it… 

This photo gives me inspiration on my healthy life style that I had let go over a year ago– I WANT THAT ME BACK!  BIg changes, weight management, and taking in all of Mother Nature that I can starting NOW! 

Juicing … My new exciting love. BUT, very expensive (atleast when it’s all organic)!  Although, cheap when it comes to be healthy and not needing to visit the doctor often! 

Crossfit… I have a love hate with it!  I’ve started it back up on Monday. The CF Gods must know, because they’ve been “gentle” for my first time back in over a year! This is me now… 60 lbs Of over indulging! AND OVER IT. 

I recently signed up for a weightloss challenge with my good friend Leah. I know we can do this —WE HAVE TO! 

You would think this would make a lot of juice… But only a quart — possibly 1.5 if you’re lucky!  The upside though is its so darn good for you! 

Flashback:  When I first started juicing this picture of all the goodies reminded me of my younger years when I would take “slop” out to our piggies.  

Anyways,  I tossed all the veggies and fruit in the sink to clean them and it looked like a perfect medley of colors and tastiness fit for a king! And to only get just a little bit of juice seemed so sad! But, I’ve grown to enjoy it and actually like the effects of micronutrients compared to my body breaking it down and the harsh fibers working through my system –UGHHHH, my ass could clear a room. TMI– sorry, but not sorry!😉 

This however was delicious!  

ESSENTIAL OILS:  I am looking forward to my first class on Wednesday– right before Yoga in my salon.

Welp! I hope you enjoy my meandering –I promise it will be worth keeping up with it!
