Beauty is more than skin deep, in fact, I like to call it an inside job. The better your nutrition and overall wellness, the healthier you will look on the outside.
For example, what do your skin, hair, and nails say about you? Do they say ‘I eat well,’ or do they scream of your Chick-fil-a addiction? Do they declare ‘I love who I am’ or does it look like they are announcing to the world ‘Who cares? I certainly don’t.’

The idea of dropping traditional shampoos and using something healthier and chemical free on my hair intrigued me. So I did my research (on Pinterest) and found that there were other non-chemical ways of cleansing my hair. Some of them had been used for years.

I also was getting it cut every three weeks, so I didn’t have to be too concerned about hair quality since I was losing a third of my length. But as I grew my hair out, I had to learn how to take care of it all over again. I wanted to keep it looking healthy and beautiful.
About that same time, I learned of all the chemicals that were in my hair care products and I knew I had to do something different. So I switched to a

I’m sure you’ve heard of the old wives’ tale: “brush your hair every day – 100 strokes before bedtime.” Our grandmothers used to do this. Brushing was believed to make your hair fuller, shinier, healthier. But nowadays, experts tell us that too much hair brushing is damaging to the hair. It can actually weaken the follicle and cause hair loss. Which one is fact, which one is myth? It depends on who you ask. If you’re asking me, just remember, I am no expert. And I am also no grandmother. I had one though…so….
Anyway, I’m just here to tell you my story, you be the judge.

When organizing a specific area, such as a closet, dresser drawer, or bathroom cabinet, take time to refresh the space. The following steps will help ensure that the space is clean and ready for your organizational plan:
1. Empty the space completely.
2. Dust and vacuum to remove debris and wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth.
3. Add any necessary shelves or hooks.
4. Refresh completely by painting it a fresh color.
Once the surface areas have been completely cleaned and refreshed, you can add final touches such as shelf liners or storage baskets. Add lavender or cedar sachets to drawers and cabinets to keep everything fresh and to add a touch of pretty!
