I’m asked quite a bit, “Why Plastic-free and Single-Use-free?” quickly followed by, “Wait! No paper towels, napkins, plastic-wrap, ziplock baggies? Nothing!?!”
Beyond wanting to shrink our environmental foot-print, we decided to prioritize our toxic-load several years ago to reach a higher level of brain + body health. A LOT of our toxic-load came from plastics in and around our food.
Why is plastic near your food an issue?
Plastic jars, food storage, sandwich bags, snack bowls and anything else you have food sitting in right now is absorbing phthalates (pronounced FOUL-LATES… kinda). The toxin that helps plastic become pliable.
Phthalates aren’t just gross, they’re hormone-disrupting for both men + women linked to fertility issues, cancers, childhood obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Here are the 3 Must-Have Products to Make Single-Use + Plastic Easy to Eliminate.

Go Beyond the Kitchen…
Make the swap to cleaner, healthier more sustainable (B-Corp Certified) personal care products (that perform better than the toxic stuff) with Beautycounter!
Why did I switch to Beautycounter? In 2017 I was looking for all of the ways to ditch toxins while I was pregnant with my first, Olivia. Personal care products were last on my list because I was hesitant I could find high-performing safer products. But then … I did.
Beautycounter checks all of the boxes. High-performing. Safer. Cleaner. Better for me. B-Corp. Woman-owned. Mission-driven.
I started with a moisturizer and now it’s the brand I trust for sunscreen + personal care products for my whole family - all my skincare products, makeup + soon to be my new favorite deodorant - launching for the masses later this month!!
What I love most about Beautycounter: They’re reducing their carbon footprint, switching products to more eco-friendly packaging, and the price point is just right all while keeping my family safer by banning over 1,800 ingredients, while the US only bans 30 toxic ingredients!
Did I mention the ingredients are of the highest quality making sure the products actually do what they say they’re going to?? Check it out.
Not sure what product is best for your skin? That’s what I’m here for! Shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Or if you can’t wait - take the skin quiz here.
I also love Skinny&Co. - Their cleansing balm is … a “does-it-all” natural miracle that I use daily to take off makeup before I do my Beautycounter thang. Check out their cleansing balm here.
