Fabulous Fall Tips for Face, Hair & Nails
Fall is a great time to get organized within your home lifestyle choices and beauty routine! Here are my latest favorites for keeping up with taking care of my face, hair and nails.
Natural Tints That Moisturize Your Lips
When seasons change to colder weather it can be hard on your face and lips. I start applying lotion, lip balm and moisturizers more frequently to combat dryness and irritation. Natural lip tint that is moisturizing is a fun way to add some color while also caring for your lips. I recently tried 3 beautiful lip tint hues that also serve to naturally protect my lips against cold weather and dry air.

Family Tour of Moon Valley Organics Farm
How fun would it be to visit a local farm that makes amazing herbal skincare products and supports sustainability within the community? We had the chance to do just that and visit the Moon Valley Organics farm on our way through Deming, Washington. We lived in the Seattle area for 5 years so in a way, this Pacific Northwest trip felt like going home, even if it was just for a few days. I’m excited to share some highlights from our visit to the family-owned Moon Valley Organics farm!

How to be Naturally Glamorous
Glamour is even more attractive when achieved naturally with wholesome and rejuvenating products. For kids especially, it’s important to teach habits that limit chemical intake and that nourish naturally. Skip the soda and make drinking water a daily healthy habit. Read the labels and don’t buy products with pore-clogging ingredients such as petrolatum and mineral oil. Make homemade lemonade and smoothies rather than enjoying sugary drinks that include high fructose corn syrup. Establishing healthy habits within your family can go a long way toward encouraging your kids and yourself to live a healthy lifestyle. I’ve rounded up a few of my recent favorite skincare products and my go-to DIY sugar scrub to share with you!
