10 Best Natural Morning Sickness Remedies

Oh my goodness, morning sickness! It can be completely debilitating for many people. There are all sorts of theories as to why some people get it so horribly and why others seem to pass through their pregnancy with minimal morning sickness. Whatever the reasons, I will vouch for fellow mamas suffering that it is one… [Read More]

How to Get Outside and Become an Active Family this Summer

Before kids, getting outside and being active seemed a whole lot easier. There was only myself to dress and all I needed to do was fill up a water bottle, pack a healthy snack and essentials and be on my way. Now? Add on another hour (or two) to the process and a whole lot more… [Read More]

Natural Sinus Infection Remedies

Natural Sinus Infection Remedies

I had my first full-blown sinus infection when I was just 2 months pregnant. My head hurt, I had severe congestion, I felt awful. And I didn’t know what to do. At first. I suffered through that first one for what felt like weeks (it was) and I didn’t feel back to normal until almost 2… [Read More]

Using the EWG to Find Natural Skincare and Beauty Products

Do you ever read the ingredients on your skincare products? Like actually REALLY read them? Go now and do it. It can be scary to see the amount of un-pronouncable ingredients and I’m often wondering “what the heck is this?” when I read the back of product labels. It can also be tricky to distinguish… [Read More]

Simple Eco Skincare Routine for Morning and Night

October 15, 2015 By Megan 1 Comment

Simple Eco Skincare Routine for Morning and Night

When it comes to beauty products, I prefer to keep things minimal over here. Our bathroom cabinet and drawers aren’t over-flowing with items that are barely used and I have very little time to spend in the bathroom now with 2 little ones. I don’t even own a bottle of hairspray or hair gel. For… [Read More]

Going Green with Your Beauty Routine (#GMCBeauty)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For anyone not familiar with what this entails, all you need to do is take a little stroll through your local drug/pharmacy store. Anything from chocolate bars to shampoo can be found with the incredibly recognizable pink cancer ribbon. I’ve seen pink tools for sale, pink candy, and even wine, all supposedly… [Read More]

Natural Body Care with Sola Skincare – Review

Natural Body Care with Sola Skincare – Review

Our skin is our biggest organ, so what we put on it is so incredibly important. I’m a big believer in buying products that contain only ingredients I can pronounce or ingredients I would actually eat. Products with a massive list of indecipherable ingredients tend to scare me away.  I also love to support family-owned… [Read More]

Postpartum Healing with Earth Mama Angel Baby + Giveaway

When it comes to postpartum care for mamas, there are so many things I wish I had known beforehand. While books and friends and family can help prepare you, there are inevitably many things that you’ll discover on your own, including the not-so-glamourous items you’ll likely need.

Making Time for Mom

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
