About 9 months ago I joined Beautycounter as a consultant - I bought the products because they were safer, but I moved to a consultant role because of the way this company lives out its mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone. A few days ago the House Energy and Commerce Committee's … Continue reading Social Impact From Your Couch

True Belonging

I sat in a counseling session some time ago, working on a relationship that matters a great deal to me, and I asked, “So, I’ve finally set these boundaries, but why do I still feel so angry and resentful?” Can you relate?

You can buy their products … Continue reading Skincare Journey
