Sharing the difference between Beautycounter’s D

Sharing the difference between Beautycounter’s Dew Skin and Skin Twin Foundation on my stories today ✨ If you missed it, you can check my Clean Makeup Highlight Reel above!

“The days are long but the years are short.”
✨
I’m not sure who said that, but it is so true! I wouldn’t trade being a mama for anything. Next to my hubby, these two are my top priority.
✨
This means I have had to say ‘no’ to a lot of other things in my life. But I am totally okay with that. I can’t get these days with them back, so I am trying to savor every moment with them. And some of my favorite moments include cheering them on court side in their tennis matches! 🎾
✨
Moms of little ones, don’t blink! I promise you that you’ll never look back and regret the time you spent with your children.
✨

It's sad but true that many sunscreens on the mark

It's sad but true that many sunscreens on the market are actually doing more harm than good! Many of the chemicals used in sunscreens have been linked to hormone disruption, reproductive toxicity, organ toxicity, and toxicity to coral reefs (check my stories for more info).
☀️
What ingredients should you avoid? Some of the main ones are:

-Oxybenzone
-Homosalate
-Octinoxate
-Octocrylene
-Nanoparticles
☀️
The good news is that there are safer options! I love Beautycounter's sunscreens! 🤗 Here's why:

-Contains non-nano zinc oxide (the safest ingredient for sun protection)
-Free from hormone-disrupting chemicals
-Reef-friendly
-Absorbs easily and quickly into skin (NO white residue!)
-Not greasy at all 🤗
-Safe for babies and children too
☀️
It's a great time to stock up for the warmer days ahead! I would love for you to shop through the link in my bio✨ You can get 20% OFF your first order and a FREE gift from me 🎁 (DM me for the deets)☀️

“ But God raised him from the dead, freeing him

“ But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”
-Acts 2:24

✨Tips for Healthy Hormones✨ 🧽Make Your own

✨Tips for Healthy Hormones✨

🧽Make Your own Non-Toxic cleaners
Chemical cleaners are known hormone-disruptors and can cause a number of health issues! All you need is Baking Soda, Vinegar, & Essential Oils to create all kinds of non-toxic recipes to clean your entire home!

💊Try Natural Supplements
Make sure you're getting a high quality, food-based multi-vitamin/mineral, omegas, and antioxidant formula! In addition, Magnesium, Phytoestrogens, Maca and Chaste Tree Berry can be super helpful. Detox teas are also super helpful for cleansing the liver.

🥦Eat Cruciferous Veggies
Veggies like broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels Sprouts help to rid the body of excess estrogen and help with detoxification.

🛌Get Plenty of Sleep
Lack of sleep can cause hormones to go haywire, so make sleep a priority! Stay tuned for an upcoming post on ways to get better, deeper sleep!

🧴Switch to Non-Toxic Beauty Products
To check out ingredients to avoid in your products, check back on one of my recent posts. Chemicals in personal care products can create hormone imbalances and other issues!

🏃‍♀️Move Your Body
Exercise can help reduce the amount of dangerous estrogen metabolites in the body, balance cortisol and insulin levels and help regulate your thyroid and metabolism!

✨My Clean #BeautyShelfie ✨

If you saw my stories, you saw that the average woman could theoretically be exposed to over 500 chemicals just in her morning routine!!
✨
What goes on your skin goes directly into your bloodstream, so imagine the cumulative effect of using unsafe products for years. The great news is it's never too late to upgrade to safe, non-toxic products! And you don't have to sacrifice on performance 🤗I love how these products are transforming my skin!
✨
Beauty Counter has so many amazing mix-and-match regimens for every skin type and budget! I would love to help you get started upgrading your products, even if you start with only one (just shoot me a DM!) And you can shop my "Clean Beauty with Sally" Pop-Up Shop through the link in my bio✨
✨
Beauty Counter Peeps, if someone could only get started with ONE product, what would you recommend? (This is so tough for me, but I say the Overnight Resurfacing Peel)✨

✨Tips for Healthy Hair✨ ✨Switch to Non-toxi

✨Tips for Healthy Hair✨

✨Switch to Non-toxic hair products - For a list of ingredients to avoid, check my post about chemicals to avoid in skincare products (SLS and SLES are usually big ones in hair care products)
✨Take High Quality Supplements - I 💖my Lifelong Vitality Supplements from dōTERRA, and my hair grows like crazy when I take them! I also add a scoop of Collagen to my morning coffee (I 💖Vital Proteins), which really helps!
✨Eat plenty of fresh fruits, veggies & greens - they supply your body with so many essential nutrients, including those needed for healthy, shiny hair.
✨Be gentle when combing or brushing - especially when hair is wet! I only use a special comb for wet hair when I'm trying to detangle after a shower. Using a brush on wet hair can damage it!
✨Give yourself a scalp massage (see previous post for recipe!) - Try doing this 1-2x/week to stimulate hair growth and encourage a healthy scalp.
✨Learn to De-Stress - Stress can be one of the primary factors for hair loss, so make it a point to de-stress regularly!
✨Bonus: Make sure to keep your hormones balanced - This becomes trickier as we get older but definitely not impossible (more posts on this coming soon!)
✨

✨This blend is perfect for a relaxing scalp massage✨

One drop each of cedarwood, lavender, rosemary and peppermint - rub together in hands and massage onto scalp with a small scalp massager (love these things!)
✨
These oils are great for stimulating blood flow to the scalp and helping with hair growth. And the tingling sensation is super relaxing 💆‍♀️
✨
You can change it up and use different oils each time - Ylang ylang, clary sage, frankincense, tea tree or lemongrass!
✨
Do you have a favorite oil blend for hair health?

With Insta’s ever-changing algorithms, it seems many of y’all aren’t seeing my posts 😥
Would y’all mind helping me get past the algorithms (or whatever it is they’re doing 🤨🤔and I have my suspicions) and give this post a ❤️ and comment “Yes!” if you see it?

Thank y’all so much!! 🙏

✨Did You Know?✨ The cosmetic industry is a mu

✨Did You Know?✨

The cosmetic industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and yet it is not regulated by the FDA? Companies do not have to disclose the ingredients they use, but they can claim to be "green", "clean" or "all-natural" (even though they are anything but!). It's known as Green-Washing, and it's pretty sad that so many companies participate in it.
✨
Statistics show that the average woman uses 12 different beauty products every single day. Our skin is our largest organ and absorbs everything we put on it into our body. So imagine the cumulative effect of 12 different products that contain toxic chemicals and questionable ingredients over years of use (the ones listed above are some of the most common)!

✨Did You Know?✨
Beauty Counter was started to change all this! They are leading the way with clean, nontoxic skincare and makeup. They are completely transparent about their ingredients, where they are sourced, and their products go through rigorous testing to ensure purity! They also work closely with the Environmental Working Group to verify a number of their products. They are also a Certified B Corporation, which is also a pretty big deal!
✨
If you want to check the safety of the products you use every day, head over to ewg.org and type your product in the search box to find the rating. It can really be eye-opening if you've never done this before!

✨Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy✨

Y’all, the weather in Charlotte has been
gor👏geous!!
😎
I am so cold natured, so the minute the temps start hitting the mid-60’s, I’m a happy gal!
✨
I try to take advantage of this time of year (before it gets really hot) and get outside for a daily walk whenever I can.
🕶
Here are just a few reasons a brisk walk in the sunshine is so beneficial:

☀️Instantly boost your mood (who doesn’t want that?)
☀️Increase your Vitamin D levels (important for so many functions in our bodies)
☀️Give your eyes a break from looking at screens (even more important, it gives your mind and emotions a break!)
☀️Good for your lungs (there’s nothing like fresh air!)
☀️Give you an energy boost (the combo of walking, sunshine and fresh air is way better than caffeine 😉)
☀️Helps your creativity flow and can give you clarity (I get so many great ideas when I’m walking outside as well as clarity on issues I’ve been praying about)
✨
Who else loves the warmer weather and walking outside?

✨A Few Tips for Healthy, Glowing Skin✨ 🍋Dr

✨A Few Tips for Healthy, Glowing Skin✨

🍋Drink Lemon Water
Staying hydrated throughout the day is key for clear skin! Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon or a drop or two of lemon essential oil adds vitamin C and a cleansing boost.

🧴Use Nontoxic Skincare
The cosmetic industry is not regulated by the FDA, and unfortunately, many companies use questionable ingredients that have been linked to all kinds of health issues! Look for companies that are transparent about their ingredients and using the highest quality, nontoxic ingredients available. That's why I've been so excited to partner with Beauty Counter! I love their mission for #cleanbeauty and their products are amazing!

🧼Wash Your Face A.M. & P.M.
I do a gentle wash in the A.M. (usually after my workout) and a more thorough skincare routine before bed. One thing I never do - go to bed with makeup on!

🥗Eat Plenty of Fresh Fruits & Veggies
They are full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients that are so good for your skin!

☀️Wear Sunscreen Daily
This is one of the best anti-aging secrets! Find a nontoxic sunscreen that works for your skin and wear under makeup for daily protection.

💦Get in a Good Sweat Session
Sweating is a great way to detoxify your pores. Exercise also gets your blood pumping, including to your face, which is great for collagen production and that nice rosy glow ✨

I am loving this dynamic duo right here! 🤩

I like to use the overnight resurfacing peel 1-2x per week and follow it up the next morning with the Charcoal face mask! Hello
glowing skin✨

Love that these products are clean and they produce results!

An added bonus of the charcoal mask? With warmer weather on the horizon, it contains peppermint - so it feels cooling and soothing to the skin while working its magic ✨
