My Story

For me, beauty means doing more of the things that heal our bodies, bring health to our skin, and help us glow from the inside out. 

It took me a while to learn that.  I struggled with chronic acne, stressed skin, and self-love for over a decade. I tried everything the doctor prescribed, I hid behind heavy makeup and hair, and was always on the hunt for some magical product that would give me flawless, clear skin. I now realize that beauty isn’t about attaining perfection; it’s about being healthy & embracing our imperfections. It’s about taking care of ourselves from the inside out. Finding the right balance of products. And not over-doing it. It’s about being consistent. Tender. Patient.

As I learned more about toxic ingredients found in cosmetics, I began transitioning to clean and conscious beauty. Now I look for brands that are free of harmful ingredients, are sustainably sourced, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free.
