When my friend introduced me to Beautycounter I had no idea that the products I was using on my skin, my largest organ, were potentially loaded with harmful ingredients – and I was shocked! And I realized that if I was unaware of this, there must be so many others that have no idea, either….

I threw together a little Mother / Daughter brunch immediately following the Tallahassee Ballet’s Children’s (abbreviated, thank God) performance of the Nutcracker.

Easy Instant Pot Black Bean & Turkey Chili

I whipped this chili up last night, and it is truly the best turkey / black bean chili I have ever had!! Keith AND Avery loved it (though you may want to ease up on the cayenne if you’re cooking it for your kiddos). It is easy to make, naturally gluten-free, and SO flavorful and…

When Life Gives You Lemons…

When life gives you lemons…squeeze out all that goodness and freeze the juice for later! Our Meyer lemon tree produced A LOT of fruit this year. While I enjoyed admiring looking at the food I GREW IN MY OWN YARD 🍋🤗 in a pretty, simple white bowl on the dining room table, I wanted to…

Why You Should Switch to Safer Nail Polish

“Nail polish may look pretty, but it contains various toxic chemicals and is classified by the EPA as hazardous waste”. Ummmmm, WHAT?!!? Srsly! According to their website, “Never throw it in a garbage can or pour it down the sink, as it may pollute the local water supply”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀An eye opener, right?! I came across…
