Why Clean Beauty?



Some of you have asked me why I decided to make the switch, so I thought I’d answer some questions and maybe even peak your own curiosity. 😉 


 I’ve always been interested in clean living from a really early age. We try to eat “heart healthy” in our home so that probably peaked my interest into it. To be honest with you, for a long time I had no idea there were toxic chemicals in makeup, let alone some brands that claim to be clean beauty. 


I read this and it prompted me to want to give clean beauty a try. “parabens and phthalates are part of the thousands of toxins that can be hidden under the word "fragrance".  Companies are protected from exposing their full ingredient list under the term "fragrance".  - A’del Natural Cosmetics blog. There is a lot more to that post but this is what really led to me doing more research into what those things are. 


After looking into it that’s when I  decided to start trying a clean skincare routine. What could it hurt, right? I LOVED it so that’s when I decided to give clean makeup a try and I loved it, too :)


There’s a lot more I could talk about so I’ll leave it at this for now. If you have questions, want blog links or a @adelnaturalcosmetics discount code leave a comment! 🥰

Life Lessons from Coffee Chats

Today I had an unnamed person (we’ll call Jane) ask me if I wanted coffee. At first, I kindly declined. A little while later she asked me a 2nd time. However, this time I could tell she wanted more than me to just have a cup of coffee. ☕️  She wanted me to spend the time with her it took to drink that cup of coffee to talk with me. To ask me questions, learn about something she had been wondering about and gain better insight into a particular situation.  I think that’s why in the American culture when someone asks us to coffee, it’s either a quick yes or no answer because maybe we don’t want to spend time asking deeper questions of someone.  Our motivations might be different in each scenario but what if we said yes to coffee more often even if it’s not convenient for us? We might have assumptions or fears surrounding the other person’s motives. However, there’s no better way to gain clarity about them than asking vs assuming.  Trust me. It’s wayyyy easier said tha...

Real Talk - Honor

Honor: Verb: regard with great respect  To be honest, I wasn’t ready sure what to write about this week. Everyone is talking about New Years resolutions, goals they’re setting, & what they want to do with the time they have this year.  Then it got me to thinking. What if we make resolutions to leave others better off than we find them? If they mistreat us, let’s teach them how to treat us right. If they do good to us, let’s applaud them.  It won’t be easy, but if we do it together & give it our best, we all will be better for it.  Reminder:  9  Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast  to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor . Romans 2:9-10 ESV Challenge:  Choose 1 person this week to honor.

Interview - Cristabelle Braden

Brain injury survivor Cristabelle Braden talks hop, inspiration, & everyday life!  About Cristabelle After my brain injury I basically had to re-learn almost everything - taking a shower, getting myself dressed, dealing with short-term memory loss, muscle atrophy, losing my vocabulary & conversation skills..    just to name a few. Honestly the only thing that kept me going was my faith in God, reminding myself that He has a plan, He loves me, and that He’s working even when I can’t see it. And now, He has healed me beyond any doctors or anyone’s expectations! They didn’t think I’d even be able to finish high school, but now I’ve graduated college! So when I have tough days I just remind myself that God is truly a God of miracles… that He is my strength, I can depend on Him in all of my weakest moments. What got you started in music? I’ve been singing since I was a little kid, but I started writing music after my brain injury! It was through t...
