Product Ratings

Ever wonder what is in your favorite face cream, sunscreen, or shampoo? Well, have no fear... The Environmental Working Group is here!

At EWG you can always find great articles on just about anything related to environmental awareness and personal care. But the best part about the EWG website is their Skin Deep Database where each product and individual ingredient receives its own hazard rating regarding: overall hazard, allergies, immunotoxicity,  developmental and reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, bioaccumulation, skin/eye/lung irritation, cancer, biochemical or cellular changes, use restrictions, organ toxicity, ecotoxicology, contamination concerns, skin absorption, animal testing, other names, and so much more.

Depression

It is amazing to me how a little bit of lifestyle change, exercise, and healthy eating can improve my mood! I've had great luck following the advice found in The Depression Cure (available on Amazon)...30 minutes of light-moderate exercise per day, fish oil supplements, overall healthy eating, fresh air, 8-10 hours of uninterrupted sleep, etc. It is so simple and easy but make a world of difference! 

***While I am able to maintain a healthy mental state without the help of medication, I know that this is not the case for all women! Please do what is right for you and your body and always consult your physician before making any changes.***
