I’ve recently discovered that Beautycounter’s charcoal mask works wonders on those 2020 breakouts – you know, from all the stress and extra comfort food. 😬 A spot treatment for 10 minutes when I need it, and a weekly all over detox have been my healing rituals lately.

Beautycounter brightening boosters (#ichoosebeauty Day 2539)
This is what happens when the stress of 2020 makes you turn to skincare for self care lol.
These before and after pics were taken three months apart, after regular use of two brightness-boosting products from my favorite clean beauty brand, Beautycounter – the new All Bright C Serum and the Overnight Resurfacing Peel.
Thanks 2020, for making me more consistent with my skincare. Let me know if you need a little brightening self-care, too. ️️
4 years wth Beautycounter – #ichoosebeauty Day 2508
I’m over here celebrating my four-year️ anniversary with Beautycounter the best way I know how – with one of my beloved lipsticks, of course!
I’m so grateful for this company, and extremely proud of the work we’re doing to make ALL beauty, clean beauty.
We’re working hard to change an outdated industry by taking our voices all the way to Capitol Hill; sharing how you can reduce your exposure to unnecessary harmful chemicals in your personal care products; constantly finding safer ingredients and sustainable packaging… and so much more.
This company is top-notch, the real deal. And continues to strive for better. Oh, and the lipstick… that’s pretty fabulous, too.
If you’ve ever for a minute thought about linking arms with me and being a part of this history making movement, let’s chat and see if it might be a good fit for you. Just contact me here.
Cheers to 4 years! 🥳🥳
#ichoosebeauty Day 2505
I needed these bright colored Beautycounter boxes in my life this week! And of course, the amazing stuff inside them. Can’t wait to share!
#ichoosebeauty Day 2443
Of course I’m celebrating National Lipstick Day (my favorite makeup category ️) with just a few of my faves!
I’m wearing Beautycounter Color Intense Lipstick here in Garden Party. Love this pink! And… I feel good knowing it’s been thoroughly tested for heavy metals.
Did you know? Beautycounter tests each batch of every color cosmetic product THREE times for 12 different heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, and mercury. Beautycounter is the only clean beauty brand I’ve found that tests EVERY BATCH!
Contact me with any questions. And Happy National Lipstick Day, friends!!
#ichoosebeauty Day 2406

#ichoosebeauty Day 2372
Current mood: pop of pink with my new Beautycounter Skin Twin foundation… which by the way, feels amazing – super lightweight with the perfect silky finish. Just what I needed for a little uplifting today.
#ichoosebeauty Day 2343
I’m so proud to share with you that Beautycounter donated nearly $1 million in products to healthcare workers in the US and Canada, including these awesome charcoal cleansing bars. At a time where everything seems uncertain, it feels good to be working for a company that is always doing good. ️️️
#ichoosebeauty Day 2316

What a fun surprise! Got this in the mail today from Beautycounter HQ – it’s a limited edition lip tint the company sent to all of us who were supposed to be at the leadership conference that got canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you Beautycounter for brightening my day, and for always going above and beyond!!
Beautycounter’s 7-year anniversary (#ichoosebeauty Day 2296)
I’m over here celebrating Beautycounter’s 7-year anniversary today! And I thought this would be a good time to share the many reasons I joined this company and its incredible mission three years ago:
Because I lived with the debilitating pain of endometriosis for 30+ years and the discomfort of lichen planus for 8 years.
Because hormonal and immune diseases like endometriosis may be linked to environmental toxins.
Because as I was busy focusing on healing my mind, exercising, and eating clean, I was slathering toxins on my skin. And I had no idea.
Because I’ve seen too many of my friends fight or lose the fight to cancer and other serious illnesses. And it makes me wonder, and want to know more about the causes.
Because I was absolutely floored to learn that the United States has not passed a federal law regulating the ingredients in personal care products since 1938. ️1938️!!!
Because it’s legal in the U.S. to sell personal care products that contain harmful chemicals linked to cancer, infertility and other serious health problems.
Because the European Union has banned over 1400 ingredients from personal care products while the U.S. has banned only 30.
Because the deception in the beauty industry is so much like what we just went through with the food industry.
Because this is about advocating for safety for ALL… from baby shampoo to body lotion to cosmetics… whether you buy your stuff at the grocery store or at Saks.
Because we shouldn’t have to worry about what’s in our makeup, lotion, or baby shampoo.
Because I wanted to use my voice for change.That’s why I joined the Beautycounter movement for safer ingredients and more transparency in personal care products. And I couldn’t be more proud.
Happy Anniversary, Beautycounter! I’m so grateful for you. ️

3 years with Beautycounter (#IChooseBeauty Day 2120)
This month marks my three year anniversary with Beautycounter. I’ll admit that at first, I was skeptical… because the journalist in me questions everything.
This company seemed too good – a certified B Corporation, which means it cares not only about profit, but about people and the planet, too. All this while donating to important charities, pioneering the clean beauty movement, and fighting for safer personal care products for everyone. Who does that?!
This full-page ad in Sunday’s New York Times says it loud and proud: “If you think we’re just selling lipstick, you’re not paying attention.”
Our mission is to make ALL beauty clean beauty. We’re working hard to change an outdated industry by taking our voices all the way to Capitol Hill; sharing how you can reduce your exposure to unnecessary harmful chemicals in your personal care products; constantly finding safer ingredients and sustainable packaging… and so much more.
This company is top-notch, the real deal. And continues to strive for better. Oh, and the lipstick… that’s pretty amazing, too. ️

Cheers to 3 years! 🍾
#IChooseBeauty Day 2077

Happy National Lipstick Day! Hope you’re celebrating with your favorite color!

#IChooseBeauty Day 2041
Had such a great night talking to people about Beautycounter and clean beauty at last night’s Sip Sip Hooray Soiree (say that 3 times)! And I made lots of new friends. Thanks so much for having me!
#IChooseBeauty Day 1930
Having fun today celebrating the 6 year anniversary of Beautycounter! Feels good to be a part of this important movement to bring safer ingredients and transparency to the entire personal care industry.
#IChooseBeauty Day 1917
Can we talk about how I’m trying to salvage my over-tweezed-in-the-90s brows?? (Anyone else??!) And I’m thankful for a couple of products that have come to my rescue:
First, Beautycounter’s new brow gel. What a difference, right?! I’m wearing it in Dark in this before/after pic. I love the look, AND that it’s safer: it’s formulated without potentially harmful emollients and emulsifiers. It comes in 4 tinted shades + Invisible (great for grooming and shaping).
My other brow helper: I’ve been using this castor oil for the past few months, and have definitely noticed some new growth!
Let me know if you have questions about either product!
