My Reasons




Before my reasons for going organic I'll share how it all started. My boyfriend bought me an oil defuser. It was one of those snowball effect situations. After I started buying essential oils, & researching more about the benefits of aromatherapy I found loads of information about DIY beauty recipes & the chemicals that are in conventional products. So I started to search for great companies that have the same passion for non-toxic. I discovered a whole new community!
Thats how I was inspired to change my lifestyle, not just the things I use. At the end of 2015, I made a resolution to get started. Now in 2017 I am continuing my journey & sharing it with you! So without any more rambling I will list my reasons to go organic.

 My Experience
Once I started experimenting with oils, and making my own beauty products I found that it made my daily routine more enjoyable. I also love discovering brands to support such as Calia, Acure, Shea Moisture, & The Honest Company. I am excited to find new products and companies to try out in the future!

  The Planet
 I love all animals & want to be more aware of how I affect them, and the planet. Just one example of how an organic lifestyle will help are microbeads. The little microbeads in some products are man made plastic balls that go into your drain, which can end up in the ocean & animals eat them! Organic products don't use man made chemicals or microbeads. In fact a lot of organic companies have environmental initiatives, & they use recycled packaging. Lastly, I believe that God created this planet with everything we need to be happy. 

 You're worth it
 Don't make excuses about how you don't have time, money, or the energy. You don't have to switch them all overnight. Pick one product, research an organic solution that fits your needs & budget, use up your old one, & then purchase the organic version.  Its a process. You are worth the time and energy so make time, & get energized! I am on year 2 of my organic product switch. Have patience and have fun. Your body is consuming these nasty chemicals; Parabens, Synthetic colors, Fragrances (which can have up to 300 chemicals alone), Phthalates, & Formaldehyde to list just a few.

  We as Consumers
If you're an organic consumer you are supporting yourself, the environment, the organic brands, and other organic people. Stand up and say No to these terrible chemicals. If more people want organic items then the market will have to support our demand for it. 

  No Negatives
You are taking care of yourself, the environment, supporting companies that care about you & the environment! It's fun & the organic community can lead you to discover other things that will change your life. Since going organic I have also found a passion for minimalism, stainable & ethical fashion, & fair trade.

 I hope you have enjoyed this and that you can consider switching over to the organic side! Stay tuned for more nerdy blog posts!

Natural Summer Glow

Let's hear it for that natural summer glow! I know that it's already pretty late into summer but I thought I would show you my tanning essentials. I did try out some new products as well, so I'll dish about those.  I'm pretty pale...but I tan really well. Everyone assumes that because I'm fair skinned, I burn! I just avoid tanning so I end up really pasty. I got a nice tan during my vacation & didn't have any sunburn, or tan-line incidences. Whew! That's all thanks to my Babyganics SPF 50 sunscreen. What do you do when you want to keep up the glow? I'll share that with you today. Step 1; Exfoliate You have to think about the base before you slather on the tanner!  Always take care of your skin. Exfoliation is key, so get a body scrub!  If you'd like to take this step into your own hands, I have a DIY Scrub recipe here https://theorganicone.blogspot.com/2017/09/diy-and-essentials.html Frank Body: https://www.frankbody.com/us/ ...

Travel Essentials

The spring/summer season is upon us and that means vacation time! I'm going on a trip to the beach with my family & thought I would share my natural travel essentials. I would also like to share a couple minimalist packing tips. So lets get into it already! Tip #1 Bring those holy grail never fail products that you always rely on. Trips aren't a good time to test out new products! If you want to pack light bring the tried & true and those multi use products. Tip #2 Planning your makeup looks & outfits for each day will help you keep track of what you really need. Instead of bringing a lot of things you may not use or wear, having a plan gives you more time to enjoy your trip. For example, if you know you'll be at a fancy club or restaurant, pack a dressier outfit & red lipstick.  Tip #3 Keep in mind where you are staying. If you have access to a laundry room, pack less clothes to wash & re-wear what you've br...

Minimalistic Gift Guide

As the holidays approach it tends to be about consumerism, sales, wish lists, and loved ones. Once I discovered minimalism I thought about how my wish list would change. If you have a minimalist on your list you might be thinking about what you could get them? So I thought I would make a guide to help you out!  I have gotten rid of many a gift in the past when I became a minimalist. You may think that that sounds terrible but hear me out. The purpose of a gift is to bring joy to the person you're giving it to. If that gift no longer brings them joy it doesn't have a purpose & it's just taking up space. That's how I look at it! So let's take a look at some things that you could get for that minimalist in your life.  Gift Cards.  You either love them or hate them. I personally love them! My boyfriend however, thinks that they aren't special. I love them because I'm a broke college student! If I can use that card to get gas, food,...
