just the best organic, pure & hydrating shampoo & conditioner ✨ if you have dry hair or scalp…@innersense hydrating hairbath and conditioner combo are both so amazing ✨ I have struggled with finding a shampoo in particular that doesn’t irritate my scalp psoriasis. Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖

do you have naturally wavy or curly hair? I have always had very wavy hair and up until now have never really embraced it.

this look is one of my faves as it doesn’t take much time and it shows off my natural hair texture.

…the sea salt & texturizing spray from @beautybyearth is a game changer - it does exactly what the name says AND it’s a fab clean hair product 💖

most perfumes are toxic & if you’re wanting to clean up your everyday routine, your perfume may need to go. 👋 I was so sad to get rid of 99% of my beloved perfumes but their ingredients were linked to hormone disruptions and possible carcinogenic affects.

SO… what to use?! for a long time I went fragrance free but I love wearing fragrance. finding clean perfume that is not only 100% clean but that also actually smells amazing is extremely hard to come by.

new hair a la @mane_ivy ☀️💛👱‍♀️
my hair has never been healthier due to a few things & thought I’d share my faves & what I’m doing now…

I got rid of my t3 curling irons because they were majorly damaging my hair. Michelle (@mane_ivy) recommended this and after 3 months of using my @bioionic I have no split ends. Seriously.

I wash my hair DAILY. I used to go over a week without washing my hair 🤢 and now I moisturize it everyday

PRODUCTS: so I’ve been swapping out ALL of my beauty products for organic/clean products and my shower most recently got an overhaul. For dry scalp (unfortunately I’m an expert with scalp psoriasis), @under_luna is amazing. For conditioner, @innersenseorganicbeauty is SO hydrating and luxurious 🔥

Cosleeping/bedsharing: such a taboo topic and one

Cosleeping/bedsharing: such a taboo topic and one that I had never considered until after Z was born.

before she was born, i thought she’d be in her bassinet for the first few months, and then a crib in her own room. 😂

what actually happened was we had the bassinet right next to the bed from the day we brought her home from the hospital and after 2 nights of bringing her to our bed to feed in the middle of the night, we started to cosleep. No more in and out of the bassinet, and I was able to get more sleep by being right there for Z to eat on demand. at first I felt guilty and ‘bad’, like I was doing something wrong. but I trusted my instincts and also discovered a whole new world of support and information on the subject. 🛌

by one month old, we sold her bassinet and don’t plan to buy a crib.
she began sleeping through the night and I credit cosleeping for that. I’m sharing this because as a new mom, I know there are others who are preparing like I did with all the things: a bassinet, researching swaddles, and infant sleep courses that prey on tired parents.

from experience, babies want to be close and be held (I mean, who doesn’t?!) and thus they sleep better when they know they’re close.

there are so many benefits:
💖 baby sleeping better and longer
💖 parents sleeping better and longer
💖 promotes bonding & healthy attachment

like many things, the US is one of the only places that promotes independent sleep for babies and I was fully on board until a whole new world opened up based on my instinct. in many other parts of the world, cosleeping/bedsharing is actually recommended for a variety of reasons.

If you’re interested to learn more about it, look up the safe sleep 7 for the golden ‘rules’ of safe sleeping with your baby. <- super important 📌

Right now there are two camps when it comes to sun

Right now there are two camps when it comes to sun care and skincare: 1. those who will tell you to slather yourself in SPF at all times, even if you’re not going outside. 2. those who tell you that the more unprotected sun exposure, the better. AKA mainstream and not mainstream advice, respectively.
I’m not a doctor but I have researched and experimented extensively…and tldr: for most people, there should be a balance between both extremes. for me personally being on the fair side, I go outside in the sun, unprotected each morning for no more than 15 minutes. I’ve found that my skin has improved by doing this AND I feel a million times happier when I’ve gotten outside.
If I’m going to be outside for more than 15 minutes during peak hours, I wear sunscreen. not toxic chemical sunscreen, but a physical sunscreen that I swear by.
in my blog post today, you can find all of the research on this topic, what amount of unprotected sun exposure may or may not be good for you, my favorite sunscreen, & application tips ☀️
