Sunscreen 411& Free Gift (HURRY!)



    Hi!!!

    Hopefully you saw my newsletter and have heard about the free sunscreen that Beautycounter is offering as a gift with purchase right now.

    Putting sunscreen on Zoe when she was a baby was the reason I made the switch to safer and started learning more about ingredients, and actually when I think about it being pregnant with her was when I really started thinking so much about ingredients in general.

    Something about being responsible for a tiny life that makes you hype aware about everything you put on and in your body. And then you take it to another degree when they enter this world. Some may say that they survived with toxins and non-organic goods but the truth is, that toxins chemicals and ingredients in general are a WHOLE LOT different than they were 35 years ago. Shoot even 15 years ago, and as science and technology change products we too have to change the way we think and educate ourselves.

    If you haven't made the change to safer products I would love to help you! Not just skincare and beauty products but in learning about switching to safer foods, and cleaning products too.

    As we enter the season of fun in the sun I will be sharing more info on how to make it a safer summer but here is some info to answer a lot of the questions I had!







    Hopefully this answers most of your questions and if not please send them over so I can add or maybe even have a separate Q&A post!

    Don't forget that you can get a free sunscreen set with purchase of $125 + until Tuesday! Shop via the Switch to Safer Sunscreen social for a free set of samples set to you!


    Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    March Beautycounter Newsletter!

      Updated: Jun 23, 2019


      Hey hey. Weekend over here and just simply enjoying every second of down time and prep for the week ahead. Although the hubs is sick (Ami seems to be a lot better, thank you Thieves Oil, rest, soup and fresh OJ!).

      Wanted to stop in because I shared some tips, tricks and favorites in this monthly newsletter! Are you signed up for it? Simply subscribe and you won't miss a thing.

      Newsletter content below! (Click here for the actual newsletter!)


      Hey hey!

      It has been a bit but I have not forgotten about you guys. Someone asked me how I was doing with our new city life and all I could muster is "keeping our heads above water some days and soaring high other days". And that is simply how it has been.

      From so much WINTER SICKNESS, to being far from family and some struggles at Z's school I am feeling quite defeated most nights. But I do smell spring in the air some afternoons and I know that will bring so many good things/changes.

      So I have been prepping by doing some at-home workouts, exfoliating and moisturizing my winter skin with my two favorites.


      I've also been lightening up my every day makeup. Giving myself that "just woke up but no imperfections" look. I do a pump of Dew Skin ( I am using #3 during the winter), a drop of the No. 1 Brightening Facial Oil and a 1/2 pump of the Instant Glow Illuminating Cream. The cream is a part of this set, which holds the key to my skin looking so good, the Overnight Resurfacing Peel.

      The routine, is so quick, it gives your face a glow but doesn't make you feel too "made up". I use this cream blush on my cheeks, this on my brows and sometimes I throw on some mascara for an extra oomph,. And to set it all, the Plumping Facial Mist.


      In order to get that glow skin you need to keep a routine that keeps your skin as healthy as possible, during the winter I have stuck to the Countermatch Collection.

      And a few times a week I use keep it short, sweet and effective by applying the,

      Overnight Resurfacing Peel

      onto a clean face, and follow it by the

      Cleansing Balm

      for extra moisture.

      (I massage the balm into my hairline or any other psoriasis breakouts I have)

       

      And guess what!!! There is a FLASH INCENTIVE TO PROMOTE ONE OF OUR HERO BEST OF THE BEST PRODUCTS!

      FREE Deluxe Travel Size Brightening Oil #1 ($38 value US/$47 CAD) with any purchase of $125 US ($150 CAD) today thru March 28th.

       

      For all of you that curious on why you would join my BC team, I LOVED this post :

      WHY I BECAME A BEAUTYCOUNTER CONSULTANT AS A DOCTOR

      Erin Carter, an Executive Director on our team and an MD (doctor) in her everyday career shared this blog post with our team. It's full of great info and shows you that you can never assume that someone with a full time career wouldn't want to do this!

      "I wrote a pretty extensive post about why I became a Beautycounter consultant as a doctor. There is a lot of info in here that would be good for anyone considering the opportunity (not just doctors) so feel free to use and share this, just make sure that people know to use your links. Hope you find this helpful!"

       

      Did you see us in VOGUE

      And in FORTUNE

       

       

      I have started trying including Frankincense into my nightly skincare routine. It has only been a few weeks but I already know why people are raving about it!

      It has minimized the size of my pores, and is even helping with some acne scarring I have had for ever. Obviously, it's a combination of just sticking to a nighttime routine EVERY night but I am not mad at this little gem of an oil. Going to have to report back on fine lines (also something that it's suppose to help with!)

      It's a pricey oil but since it is a part of the starter kit, it is a steal. I am giving back $20 for anyone that buys a starter kit this month! Here is another post on FAQ's on essential oils I did a while back.

       

      I have to highlight these two sets that carry all of my favorite products!

      1.This is the Instant Awakening Trio I talked about above, three of my favorite products during this stage of (exhausted) life! //

      2. This Is the Best of Beautycounter and the best way for someone new to BC skincare to try out some game changers!

       

      Something else that is new! The hubby and I are hitting reset before Spring Break which is at the end of April, and going to give Whole 30 a try.

      I think the best thing is a lot of these things are things we would all eat as a family. I 'll keep the rice & veggie pasta as a side for the girls but not for us. This combined with some workouts will be an awesome way to start off swimsuit season! Here is some meal inspo I was looking at.



      And on the blog lately I shared:

       

      Hope you are having a wonderful month!

      Winter Night Time Routine

        Updated: Jun 23, 2019



        Hey Hey,

        Anyone else completely off from the time change. Not only are my girls INSANE lately, but Ami is also a little sick and a hot mess 75% off the time. AKA sucking the life out of me.

        But I just keep giving myself grace, like I'll eventually get to the blog, and work and shoot I'll sign those contracts later. To only knock out as soon as I hit the pillow with my computer propped on my bed... lol One day I'll feel rested, right?

        It just all goes by so fast from Halloween till the New Year and these days of less sunlight and cold weather that keeps us inside a lot more means lots of change. One big change that I can actually solve is my skin, dry dry dry. My blehhhh mood isn't as easy... lol

        Well there are a few tried and true things I do. The skin is your largest organ and well it needs to remain hydrated in order to look and feel it's best, right? So for me it's making sure I keep up with my water intake and sometimes it means hot lemon water in my yeti instead of cold. Just easier when my bones can't kick the cold. And then there is a change in my skincare routine. Below are the products I have used for the last few weeks (and loved last Fall & Winter too!).


        Cleansing Balm - This little multitasking gem is your go to during these cold dry months. I cleanse with it before the Nourishing Cream Exfoliator.

        Rosewater Mist Spray gives my skin a little post cleanse life. It also a great makeup setter and my favorite way to refresh my face on travel days, before bed and especially after I cleanse.

        Overnight Resurfacing Peel - this stuff is magic, I use it almost every night. Just wakes my skin up, takes away the gunk and allows my skin to look glowing and rested in the AM.

        Rejuvenating Eye Cream - I need all the 'bags under my eyes' help I can get.

        I seal all the magic in with the cleansing balm ( on nights I don't do the resurfacing mask I put the cleansing balm on as overnight mask). This is my moisturizing magic. Because the honest truth about having your skin look younger or more rested will always be get it moisturized. With H2O and all the skin moisture you can find. I make sure to skip around my eyes, and load up on it on my lips and hairline (where my psoriasis will flare up).

        Balancing #3 Oil is my key to keeping my psoriasis. I massage it into my hairline, eye brows, and pat the rest on my face. LOVE this little oil. This trio is a great travel set or to simply try out all three oils.

        It may seem a little time consuming but I swear to you that it's not, and the few minutes are SOOOOOO worth it. I also try and add more dark greens to my diet and even considering some vitamin D to my routine.. Anyone else take some supplements during winter months, send some recs my way, please!
