The BEST Homemade Cola
You don’t need to give up soda. You just need to make it better. This homemade citrus soda is one of my favorite ways to recreate that bubbly, refreshing soda experience using simple ingredients I actually feel good about. Fresh lemon, lime and orange. Cinnamon. Coriander. A little nutmeg. Vanilla. And yes, real sugar. No artificial colors. No artificial sweeteners. No mystery ingredients. What You’ll Need: ● 1 quart filtered water ● Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon ●

I Don’t Believe Skincare Should Be a Full-Time Job
We’ve Made Skincare Way Too Complicated When I lived in New York City, the women I knew who were getting Botox and fillers were primarily the wealthy women on the Upper East Side. Fast-forward to today… It has become SO common. Women, men, people in their 20s… getting injected, filled, frozen, tweaked and altered before they’ve even really aged. And I’m sorry, but I find that concerning. Because skincare used to be just that. Skincare. A good little routine. Taking care of yo

The Best Place to Buy Organic Food in Bulk
If you have a big family, you know how quickly groceries add up. One of the biggest things that helps me keep organic food in our home is shopping smarter. Two of my favorite places to shop are my local farms ,farmers market, and Azure Standard. I love the farmers market because I can buy local, seasonal food directly from the farmers and support the people growing our food. We get minimal clean snacks from Whole Foods and Target. And then there’s Azure Standard this has be

I Used to Have Terrible Teeth. Here’s What I Do Differently Now.
Let me be real with you. I used to have really bad teeth. Not “oh I had one cavity” bad. I mean fillings, dental work, mercury fillings replaced… the whole thing. But now I see it differently. Because I started asking a better question: What’s actually causing this? What’s going on with my body as a whole? Gut, diet, lifestyle… everything. And that changed a lot for me. So what do I actually do now? I’m a mom of four. I don’t have time for a 20-step routine. So I keep it sim

5 Things to Do During Your Period to Support Your Body & Womb
Your period is not a time to push your body harder. It’s a natural time to slow down, restore, nourish, and reconnect with yourself. Instead of fighting your body or expecting yourself to operate at 100%, think of your period as an invitation to soften and give your body the support it needs. Here are five simple ways I like to care for my body during my cycle: 1. Choose Gentle Movement You don’t have to stop moving during your period but this may not be the time for aggressi

How I Move Trauma and Stored Emotions Through My Body
How I Move Trauma and Stored Emotions Through My Body Everyone’s healing process looks different. These are some of the things I personally do to help me process emotions, release tension, and move through the things my body may be carrying. I Acknowledge What I Am Feeling I allow myself to be honest. What am I feeling? Why am I feeling this way? What happened? What is underneath the anger, sadness, fear, or resentment? I believe we cannot get to the root of anything if we re

Are We Eating Food or Just Food-Like Products?
Have you ever stopped to think about how far our food has moved from its natural form? A fruit used to grow from a seed. A vegetable came from the earth. Food was grown, harvested, and eaten for nourishment. Today, big agriculture has transformed much of our food supply through selective breeding, hybridization, processing, and other agricultural technologies designed to create food that is easier to grow, transport, store, and sell. Convenience and profit often come before n

My Journey from Luxury Beauty to Clean Beauty
For over 20 years, beauty has been part of my life. I started as a makeup counter girl in college and eventually had the opportunity to freelance with luxury beauty companies in corporate, and working with brands I once absolutely lovers. Beauty was something I genuinely enjoyed. But over time, I started asking a different question: What am I putting on my skin every single day? The more I learned about ingredients and cosmetic regulations, the more intentional I became. One

Bone dry hair? Try this.
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m all about simple, natural solutions that actually work. Well… my hair has definitely been through it lately. My mom is a stubborn one, and convincing her to switch from a chlorine pool to salt water has been a victory I haven’t won yet. So between all the swimming with the kids and the chlorine, my hair has taken a serious hit. Would I trade those summer memories? Absolutely not. But my hair? Eek. Whenever my hair starts fe

Your hair wants you to read this.
These are my favorite hair hacks that I’ve been doing for years and even through postpartum they have been consistent favorites. I’ve been using the same Mason Pearson brush for over 20 years, and I truly don’t think there’s a better brush out there. The boar bristles help distribute your natural oils from your scalp all the way to your ends, which helps keep your hair healthier, shinier, and can even reduce breakage. It’s one of those investments that lasts for years...

Music Can Heal or Harm: Why I Choose My Playlist Carefully
Music isn’t just background noise. It’s energy. It’s vibration. It’s frequency. Everything in our world operates through vibration, so I’ve become much more intentional about what I allow into my home, my headphones, and my children’s ears. I believe we’ve underestimated the power of music. There was a time when music was created to inspire beauty, peace, worship, and creativity. Many people believe music tuned to 432 Hz has a more natural and calming feel than today’s standa

5 Wellness Myths I Don’t Believe
Myth #1: You need a perfect routine to be healthy You don’t need a picture-perfect morning routine or a schedule that looks like an influencer’s. Wellness is built through simple habits you can actually maintain. The basics will always matter:

moving your body
hydration

managing stress These are the ingredients to good health. Myth #2: More workouts = better health Exercise is important, but more is not always better. Your body als

Hobbies That Create Beauty and Help Calm Your Nervous System
When most people think about wellness, they think about food, exercise, supplements, and skincare. And while all of those things matter, there is one piece of wellness that I think often gets overlooked: creating space for your nervous system to slow down. You can eat all the organic food, take all the supplements, and use all the clean products, but if your mind is constantly racing and your body is stuck in a state of stress, you’re missing a huge piece of the wellness puzz

The Body Remembers What the Mind Tries to Forget
How Unresolved Emotions Can Show Up as Physical Health Problems For years, we've been taught to separate the mind from the body, as if our emotions exist in one place and our physical health exists in another. But modern science is revealing something many ancient healing traditions have understood for centuries: our thoughts, emotions, stress, and experiences can have a profound impact on our physical health. Have you ever noticed that during a stressful season of life you e

Frequencies, You don’t want to miss this!
Sitting down with Debbie Carlson for this Zoom conversation was truly eye opening. We dove deep into a topic that so many people misunderstand: frequencies and their role in healing the body emotionally, physically, and spiritually. One thing we both agreed on right away is that frequencies are not “new age.” Frequency is science. Everything in this world operates at a frequency, from sound waves and light waves to the cells within our own bodies. God designed our bodies with

Wellness: It’s Not What You’re Told
Wellness has been overcomplicated. You’re told you need more and more products, more routines, more “solutions.” But most of the time, that’s not what’s missing. What’s missing is alignment. True wellness isn’t just about what you eat or how you work out. It’s about how you live your body, your mind, your spirit, your home, and your relationships all working together. Because when one area is off, everything feels off. You can eat clean and still feel overwhelmed. You can wor

A Harsh Truth
The truth is, the majority do not want to take responsibility for their health. They put their trust into the doctors' hands and they start playing Russian roulette with their health and essentially their life.. There's a story in the Bible about a woman who had an illness in her blood. After twelve years and after many trips to the doctor, she was still not healed, In fact, she was penniless from medical expenses. Her faith is what ultimately healed her, This rings true more
