What does Clean Really Mean? Why Beautycounter?
It might surprise you that “Clean Beauty” is not a regulated term. Natural beauty, clean, green, organic, clinically tested, dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, pharmaceutical-grade, are very loosely defined.
Sausage Low Carb Italian Soup
This is my husband’s favorite soup right here! You know what else is amazing?! My kids ate it too! That is a winner for me, big-time!
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!
For real, please make them and e-mail me telling me how much you LOVED them! I first had a similar cookie during quarantine from a cute little farm stand in Kingfield, Maine. I would partake after my longer than normal mountain bike rides on the Carrabassett Trails at Sugarloaf, in the woods, and the taste and decadence of this cookie is worth every bite!
MY TOP HARMFUL CHEMICALS TO AVOID
Navigating ingredient labels can be very annoying and confusing. I had a lot more patience for it before kids, but thankfully since then I’ve found companies I trust and love.
Pumpkin Soup
This pumpkin soup recipe is creamy AND healthy! It calls for roasted pumpkin for the MAX on flavor.

I’ve tried both ways and every time I make this my family and friends absolutely devour this!

Summer is in full swing, and I am just loving all that comes with it!

We've had a good amount of our favorite things this summer so far - mountain bike rides, long walks, days at the beach, lots of planning for the Mountain Home, date nights, our anniversary (21 years!) and late nights binging some of my favorite series on Netflix.

Why I'm Parenting My Kids Differently After Knowing Their Specific Human Design
HUMAN DESIGN'S primary benefit is to those who haven’t yet been deeply conditioned. This was huge for me especially with the work that I do weekly within my coaching practice unravelling all of the limiting beliefs that society has told us that we have to be “this” or “that.”
How Do You LIVE Your Human Design?
Through your Human Design chart you are GUIDED to truly SEE the TRUTH of who YOU are. You are able to release and let go of all the conditioning that is holding you back and preventing you from SEEING your IMMENSE SOUL POWER. The journey of LIVING and BREATHING your Human Design experiment is like falling into the void of life that was never yours or FOR you in the first place.
What is Human Design?
When you have your chart read, it takes things much deeper, illuminating framework for interpreting the energetics of how you were designed to exist in the world. Human Design is a scientific system of self inquiry and analysis in which gives an inside look into the design of one-self.
Why Human Design has Changed My Life
Human design has been such an incredible tool in my life.
It has completely changed my life personally and in my business.
When we think about it, it’s like we have a genetic code and Human Design is like my soul code. This is something we are all born with. It’s also given me so much peace and compassion towards not only myself, but other people.
