One way that my life has changed drastically since having a baby is that I’ve been focusing more on choosing natural products to use on my body, as well as Augustine’s. While I’d say I was pretty health-conscious before, now I care even more because of Augustine. Knowing what’s in the products I’m putting on his delicate skin is so important. I want to choose products that are as natural as possible, and free from harsh chemicals.
I started to pay more attention to ingredient lists when I was pregnant since there were a few things I had to avoid. It made me wonder what else I should be avoiding, though. After going through my beauty drawer I ended up putting a large stash in a box to use 9 months later. Now that Augustine is here, I can go back to using those products, but do I really want to? How do they really affect my overall health? While I know it’s hard to be 100% non-toxic all the time, I have been trying to make smarter shopping choices. If the price is basically comparable I’ll choose the all-natural product. Making these little investments in my health, and the health of my family, is definitely worth it.
I’m super excited to announce a new partnership with Live Clean. Live Clean has a simple vision: to create high-performance skin and hair care products that are effective but safe for you, your family, and the environment. Their products are free from parabens, sulfates and harmful chemicals, they source local ingredients, use recyclable packaging, they’re never tested on animals and they’re 100% vegetarian and vegan. Finding products that fit this criteria, and aren’t incredibly expensive, can be a challenge, but Live Clean is so so accessible. {Thank goodness!} I remember seeing it for the first time at Target and the price was comparable to other brands that had products containing all these harmful ingredients. It seemed like such an obvious choice.
I’m excited to share more about Live Clean, their products and how I’ve been using them in my daily life. And to get you all excited I thought I’d do a giveaway with some of my favorites! The Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner is my fave. My hair has so much more body than normal and it’s always super soft! To win the giveaway, head to my Instagram today to enter!
Also, since Earth Day is this weekend, I thought it would be fun to do a little InstaLive at 9am PST on Saturday 4/22 about some of the ways I try to take care of the environment. I have some easy tips that I think anyone can adopt into their lifestyle that would make a huge difference to our world. I hope you can join in! Also, make sure to follow along on Live Clean’s Instagram to see my Earth Day Takeover!
As always, thank you all so so much for your support! It’s incredible to work with brands that I love and believe in. This is a partnership that I have been so so excited to share with you all!
