If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably know that my mom had breast cancer. It was after she was diagnosed that she insisted I stop using my antiperspirant. I was hesitant, but I listened because I didn't want to get breast cancer, either. When I got married years later, I discovered that I had fertility problems and many doctors told me I would never have a baby. I sought the help of a NaPro technology doctor, who put me on a strict diet + bio-identical hormones and told me to stop using many of the skincare and beauty products in my medicine cabinet. I was confused-- the diet and the hormones made sense, but not latter.
She told me that what goes on your skin, goes into your body.
I began to research the ingredients in my products and what I found was not good. Why are such harmful ingredients allowed to be used in things we put on our face and body? I ditched my products and started shopping for everything at Whole Foods. Yes, many of these items had cleaner ingredients but unfortunately they didn't work very well. I bounced around from brand to brand trying to find the best and when those didn't work, I went online without much more success.
Many years into my search (and 3 miracle babies later), I discovered Beautycounter. Clean products that actually do what they're supposed to do = win/win for me.
Today, I challenge you to research the ingredients in your beauty products. You can use the Environmental Working Group database to search product names and/or specific ingredients. If you're looking to switch some of your products, I suggest taking the skincare quiz on this page or send me a message and we'll chat! BONUS: During the entire month of October, shipping at Beautycounter is free and new customers get 20% off.
These fit nice and my daughter doesn’t have to worry about her tummy showing while having fun in the water. She is 5’10 and 130#, we got a size small.

Perfect fit and so flattering!
This is my 4th Jessica Rey swimsuit! I love how well made and durable her pieces are. They are always a perfect fit! Could not recommend these more! Tons of compliments every time I wear one!
I am a plus-size girl and mom, so it’s hard to find swim bottoms that fit around the waist. Surprisingly, the high-waist bottoms from Jessica Rey fit the bill, providing both ample coverage and comfort.
