Beautycounter Just Set a New Standard for Clean Mascaras Beautycounter launched their new 100% clean Think Big All-in-One Mascara. Here is our honest review.
It's so nice to have a mascara that doesn't end up under my eyes at the end of the day!
This Brand New Clean Mascara Is the Only One That Lengthens My Lashes AND Is Gentle on My Sensitive Eyes I've been waiting a long time for a product like this.
Senate bill would ban toxic โforever chemicalsโ in makeup, which new study found are often unlabeled Senators Collins and Blumenthal introduced a bill to ban toxic 'forever chemicals' in makeup, which scientists say are โwidespreadโ and unlabeled. A new study found indicators of the chemicals in roughly half of mascaras, lipsticks and foundations tested.

I canโt believe this was a year ago!
Another fun Peds OT intervention I created in OTA school!
Soooo you know I love me some good clean skincare but when I heard from a client that I could increase the benefits using micro needles I was curious/creeped out. โฃ
โฃ
I honestly didnโt even know dermarolling was a โthingโ. โฃ
โฃ
If you have been watching my stories then you know Iโve been trying the dermaroller from for a few weeks now and Iโm loving the results. โฃ
โฃ
I thought it felt weird at first and it took a little getting used to the tiny pokes but I am hooked. โฃ
โฃ
The roller is very basic and is at a low price point. So the 0.25mm needle is a great place to start your dermarolling journey and decide if itโs for you.
Itโs also good for you! โฃ
โฃ
There are lots of flouride free options. โฃ
โฃ
๐ฆท brushes are plastic free and made from non-gmo cornstarch โฃ
โฃ
Packaging and toothbrush handles are also biodegradable! โฃ

Itโs still and Iโm crushing on two friends who have loved and supported me for the past decade. โฃ
โฃ
These women have encouraged me to grow stronger and wiser over the years. โฃ
โฃ
They have watched me grow from a new college grad to a wife and now help support me through motherhood. โฃ
โฃ
They support my small business and my dreams. โฃ
โฃ
I am so grateful to have women in my life who I can trust to be around my child.โฃ

No Child Labor in the Mica and now Woman Owned Vanilla too!
Beautycounter Is Launching Lip Gloss With Ethically Sourced Vanilla Here's why the vanilla in this lip gloss is different from that of other products.
Itโs official is in your favorite store Sephora! You can drop in and check out some of my favorite items like the sunshine in a bottle Vitamin C Serum. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 you may not be able to sample in stores (this is dependent on county regulations). If you want samples just hit me up and Iโll mail them out to you! Happy Friday!
I know Iโve been MIA lately and Iโm going to explain the radio silence. I took a deep dive down the rabbit hole and Iโm shook. โฃ
โฃ
Iโve always been outspoken and known to share โconspiracy theoriesโ since the inception of myspace. For those of you who donโt know me I was raised in a conservative Muslim household in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up listening to Free Speech radio (KPFA) ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐ก๐ฃ๐ฅ but publicly funded radio without corporate sponsors. This has helped shape my reality. โฃ
โฃ
Iโve been afraid to speak for years because of my fears. Fear of losing friends, family, sponsorships, fear of being hated for my opinions, fear of not getting a job, fear of losing business and clients and fear of retaliation from those who work in the darkness. โฃ
โฃ
As a Muslim I was taught to believe that there is nothing to fear but Allah. I have not been living like a Muslim I have been living in fear of everything that the media has planted in my mind. I no longer subscribe to the belief that there is anything to fear in this life not even God. โฃ
โฃ
As a mother and a mandated reporter I cannot allow fear to continue to guide my actions. โฃ
โฃ
2020 has been a year of unlearning for the masses. Itโs been uncomfortable, frustrating and stressful. A lot of this unlearning started with the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter Movement. For me this has continued on in the realm of other narratives about missing children in this country. โฃ
โฃ
Children all over the world are being enslaved and the mainstream media is not talking about it. Hollywood is definitely not talking about it. We need to question this. โฃ
โฃ
Why is a narrative a separation being blasted into our televisions and phones? โฃ
โฃ
Why is the global issue of child s*x trafficking being ignored? โฃ
โฃ
Why are people who speak up about this issue on social media being censored while p**o accounts are left untouched? โฃ

Please take time to question the narratives you have accepted as truths.
Where does Vanilla come from?
The flavorful story of vanilla The island of Madagascar supplies 80% of the world's vanilla, a valuable cash crop that can be worth more, by weight, than silver
More evidence to encourage the uses of mineral vs. chemical sunscreens!
Sunscreen Chemicals Accumulate in Body at High Levels For the second time in less than a year, a study of common sunscreen ingredients has established that the chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream at concentrations far greater than the Food and Drug Administrationโs safety threshold.

The mission of Beautycounter attracts those of us who believe in advocacy which is a core principle of Occupational Therapy. Unfortunately the bureaucracy of the healthcare system dictated when and how I could advocate.โฃ
๐ฅ โฃ
I joined Beautycounter first and foremost for the community. I wanted to be surrounded by women who truly care about health education (my degree is in Public Health), human rights (Iโm a WOC..duh) and environmental sustainability (Iโm from the Yay Area).โฃ

Prior to COVID-19 I was hustling at my 9 to 5 and when I was laid off I realized how important it is to have multiple streams of income. Since March I have been consistently growing my business while educating others on health disparities and their effects on BIPOC. โฃ
๐ฐ โฃ
Beautycounter has forced me to get on live videos, speak to people I was afraid to speak to, address negative stories and mindset issues. It has not been comfortable but the growth has been real. โฃ

I am so grateful for this experience and I would love to share it with you by inviting you to join my team. โฃ
