⛔️Raise a red flag (alert) for…..FRAGRANCE⛔️
• This concoction of who-knows-what is defined by the FDA as a combination of chemicals that gives each perfume or cologne its distinct scent
• It can contain any combination of 3,000+ stock chemical ingredients, including hormone disruptors and allergens

But aren’t there regulations that protect us?🧐 The answer is tricky...companies ARE required to list ingredients on the label...BUT this excludes the individual constituents of fragrance to preserve fragrance trade secrets. Current laws do not provide the FDA with the authority to require disclosure of fragrance ingredients.

But, the good news is we got options!🥳 Here’s how to stay “safe” in a messy, regulation gapped market:
* Check your labels for “fragrance”
* Choose fragrance free products
* Choose products from companies that disclose their ingredients openly to consumers💯

Want product recs or have questions about any of this?
I would love to chat with you and bring more clarity around this topic! ♡Kellee

Hellooooo Beautiful Friends, Happy Tuesday!!!
Dropping some #betterbeauty knowledge here and I hope it resonates with you in some way ♡
❀ It is time to say bye-bye to compromising beauty for safety (or vice versa). Beautycounter products are not only made with safer ingredients, they are made to perform. ❀ P.S. In case you didn’t know…. The beauty industry is virtually unregulated in the U.S.. A major federal law regulating the cosmetics industry has not been passed since 1938….. ❀ Not to continue on Debbie Downer style, but it is important you know the reality of this situation. The U.S. is DANGEROUSLY behind other countries when it comes to cosmetic safety. The European Union has banned close to 1,400 chemicals in product formulations of personal care products and restricted levels of over 250 more. The U.S. has ONLY partially banned 30. ❀ Learning this was a big reason why I joined as a Beautycounter consultant. ❀ Beautycounter prohibits the use of 1,500+ questionable or harmful ingredients when formulating products. Thanks to their 5 Step Ingredient Selection process that they are very transparent about, harmful ingredients are banned, and others are screened, researched, sourced responsibility AND shared transparently. Like I said before, ingredients in Beautycounter products are formulated to perform without compromising your health.
❀So let me ask you this: Why take a health-risk gamble in such an unregulated market?
❀For me personally, after learning all this, the risk of developing serious health problems was not worth it. I stopped using and supporting (with my money) brands/companies that were not transparent with ingredients. You better believe I researched the heck out of the brands I was using and was sickened to learn that I had been exposing my body to harmful ingredients for YEARS. So I switched to Beautycounter and my only regret is not doing it sooner. ❀ Now what will you do after learning this information? ❀If you are like me and want to learn more, you can head straight to my Beautycounter website (link in bio) ❀ If you want some guidance and support first, DM me and let’s chat! ♡ Kellee

It’s been so long since I posted 😳😭 HELLO!! I am back home in California after 3 weeks traveling through Europe!
•
It was amazing seeing all the historical towns, castles, palaces, and oh so many cathedrals.
•
I am going to write on the blog in more detail about the trip, but in short I had no major problems with the food there (being gluten intolerant). I tried to avoid gluten, soy, diary, and corn as much as possible, but I did not stress about it! Most towns are gluten free friendly/aware.
•
If you have Celiac’s be sure to do your research beforehand and it would help to have a Celiac restaurant card if you do not speak the native language🙌🏼
I will share more details and insights soon!

It was so good to get away from the hustle and noise for a couple of days last month. I felt recharged and energized after soaking up Mother Earth’s harmonizing energy.
Much needed since I am on my way to the airport for a 3 week Europe trip!
•
I hope you are having a great October so far! Will let y’all know how my European adventures go- especially since this is the first time I’ll be traveling international since going gluten free! 🙏🏼🤗💕

A couple years ago, I had a big wake up call after I saw horrific EWG ratings of the makeup products I had been using for YEARS.

These products were costing me way more than the bucks I paid up front. They were costing me my health.

The worst of it was that I was using products that I thought were safe. I had no idea how unregulated the cosmetic and personal care industry is in the U.S.
I also believed that the products I was using were “clean” and “natural” because they had plant derived ingredients or said “all natural.” The reality is that they claims are not regulated and basically do not mean a thing.
It is extremely frustrating to know that consumers who are unaware of this are basically taken advantage of for profit. At a huge cost too. Because a lot of these “natural” products contain endocrine disruptors and can be harmful to humans.
I have written a couple blog posts about this and I wanted to keep the conversation going so more people are aware and can make safer product choices!
If you feel inspired to share or tag someone who could use this info go for it!💌 If you want more information you can reach out to me or head to my blog and read the posts there✨

✧Experiencing first hand the power of the mind is so magical✧

When you realize that you have control over your reality based on the words you speak and thoughts you think day-in and day-out, you begin to understand that you have the ability to rewrite and shift your life the way you desire.
I wrote a blog post last week about how discovering and exploring the self-limiting beliefs and where they came from, helped me gain the energy I desperately wanted back. Opening up my mind to learn and experience new things that align with my goals, with the help of many professionals, has helped me the most in my healing journey over the past 4 years.

I learned first hand that no amount of physical fitness or diet tracking can help rewire your mental tendencies and your thinking habits. The changes that you want to make, the goals that you want to achieve, all the things you say you want or want to do need to align with your beliefs.

I know that may be very frustrating to hear, but it is true. While moving your body and eating nutritious foods IS important, it is not the be-all and end-all cure for your health and wellness.

We must dive deeper and get uncomfortable. Looking inward towards your thoughts and your beliefs.

What stories have you made up over the years and are telling yourself over and over again? Do these stories serve your highest self?

If they do not, then it may be time to investigate and get curious into why these stories came about. From there you can work on rewriting them to better fit who you really are and where you want to go in life.

Note: If you have been through trauma or experienced a traumatic event in your life, find a trusted professional to work with on this. You do not have to do this alone.

Remember that your mind is so powerful! Even if you are not ready to get uncomfortable, you can start to notice the way in which you speak to others & to yourself. Practice kind, loving words that are only of the highest good and see what changes occur from that simple shift. When you are ready, do more and remember to ask or get help when you need it!

Why are we so hard on ourselves?We go through so much in life and our bodies do so much for us- why is it so hard to love ourselves? It been tough for me to fully understand this over the years and I never really wanted to (so much resistance) until I understood the importance of acceptance. I surrendered and now I can accept myself and love myself for who I am. The weird and the silly, the animal loving science nerd, the dabbler in 15 different passion projects, we don’t need to be one certain thing. We can be it all- we can be whoever we want to be. There are no rules that say we need to pick and choose parts of us to be. None!! Understanding this was huge for me. It is a consistent process and since diving in I have re-established a healthy relationship with my body and with myself as a person- I mean like deep down in my soul. I feel like my life has new purpose, new meaning and I feel so much lighter. Not weighed down by judgment of myself or worry of judgment from others because that is not the path that allows me to feel free. When I feel free I feel my best and can offer my best to others. SO I am ready to play big and show up for others who need to hear my stories and life lessons throughout this journey. Stay tuned my loves♡
