cheers to health and a natural glow!


I’m on a mission to live the healthiest, purest, cleanest life possible. This awareness applies not just to what I put in my body (whole, pescatarian, plant-centered) but also to what I put on my body. Just as I don’t trust processed and packaged foods with ingredients I don’t recognize or understand, I no longer want to lather on lotion with a list of unintelligible components, many of which have been shown to be toxic and carcinogenic.

Dealing with the cancer diagnosis of a most loved one is enough of a reason to re-evaluate one’s diet and overall healthfulness. When my dog also became a cancer patient a few months later, I began to worry about what chemicals and additives in my daily regimen he may have been ingesting just by licking my skin.

Hello! Those same chemicals were being absorbed through my skin, into my blood, everyday. I’m done with chemicals, additives, unnatural colors and fragrance. And in an effort to know exactly what is in my bath and beauty products I am embarking on a new adventure, making my own.

I have started an Etsy shop with my mom (cancer survivor) and sister. We look forward to sharing these all-natural body products with everyone. And while they are in fact edible, please use our scrubs and body butters on your skin only. Cheers to good health and glowing, inside and out!
