My Nightly Skincare Routine & Why I Love Lumion
I’m not much of a product junky, but one of the perks of this job is that I get lots of samples! Most of these products are nice enough, but every once and a while I find something I truly love and incorporate into my regular skincare routine. Such was the case with Lumion. Introducing […]

Safe Mascara Guide
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure page. Mascara is kind of magical, especially if you’re like me and are hashtag-blessed with stubby, pale, stick-straight eyelashes. I don’t often wear makeup, but with just a couple of swoops of a mascara wand, I look and feel refreshed and more put together. I […]

Baby-Biotics: What are the Best Probiotic Supplements for Babies & Kids?
After Maia posted about multivitamins last summer, we were flooded with questions about probiotics. Should you be giving your babies and kids probiotic supplements? And if so, which brands are the Good Stuff? Probiotics are a complex and fascinating topic. I’m a Certified Holistic Health Coach, but not a physician, so I’m not here to […]

Non-Toxic Toys for Babies & Toddlers
My “baby” recently turned 3. Unfortunately, his entire wish list consisted of plastic toys–from Legos to these weird Mashem things, there was nary a wooden/woolen/beeswax item to be found.

Safe, Plastic-Free Food Storage
As I’ve mentioned a bunch, my husband and I recently bought a property in Lancaster, PA, which we are renovating to be a non-toxic retreat. Because I’ve lived in New York City my whole adult life, it’s been fun to spend so much time in the ‘burbs–I love sending the kids out to play in […]

Sunscreen With Vitamin D & What Sunscreen I’m Using This Summer
With temperatures feeling distinctly summer-like in much of the country, I’m not surprised that many of you are asking about my top sunscreen recommendation, and what I put on my own children. Here’s the truth: my kids don’t wear sunscreen every day, even in the summer. Of course, if we are at the beach or […]

Natural Eczema Treatment for Babies & Kids
I hear from a lot of desperate parents whose babies and kids suffer from eczema. An estimated 10-20% of infants and kids have eczema nowadays. Maybe there is more awareness about it now (when I was a kid, we probably often passed it off as a bad case of “dry skin”), or maybe it is […]

Get Your Skin Ready for Spring and Summer
This has been a long winter for us on the East Coast and finally it feels like spring (or even summer) the last few days. I love this time of year with the return of plants, flowers, sunshine, and warmer temperatures. But the whole truth is that I also get a little intimidated by the […]

Finally, a Non-Toxic, Paraben-Free Make-Up Brand!
I’m not big on makeup. I believe the cliché that true beauty comes from within. I also believe that beauty can be enhanced greatly by healthy eating, sleep, and movement. Also, I am rather lazy when it comes to beauty routines. I don’t use a lot of products and I don’t spend much time on my hair or […]

How to Choose a Nontoxic Pillow (and What’s Wrong with the Pillow You Have Now)
In high school, I had a memory foam pillow that I loved so much I took it with me when I had a sleepover at a friend’s house. Now, of course, I know that memory foam is some of the most toxic stuff in our homes and definitely not something you want to press your […]
