The USE ALL OVER and so clean you can even eat it!
LANOLIPS – CLEAN BEAUTY BRAND My first experience with LANO happened while nursing my son. I was looking for something so pure to apply that my son was safe to consume if there was residue left behind. I ended up using the Multipurpose Superbalm EVERYWHERE, and I cannot tell you how many people I have hooked on this incredible brand!
Brand Philosophy: Lanolips is a clean Australian beauty brand that believes that nature provides us with the most powerful ingredients of all – and that a short ingredients list is a good ingredients list. Lanolips lists each and every ingredient and its natural percentage on the packaging of all products. Each of their products starts with their ultra-medical grade lanolin, which is 3x purer than medical grade lanolin and hypoallergenic. Lanolin naturally occurs in sheep’s wool and Lanolip’s lanolin is humanely sourced from Australian sheep farmers and works to mimic the skin’s own oils for the most natural hydration. Lanolips offers a safer, more effective, and 100% natural alternative to common petroleum-based balms. No petrolatum. No parabens. No artificial fragrance. No mineral oil. No sulfates. No PEGs.

Babo Botanicals Another brand I discovered as a new momma is Babo. The brand sent me a sweet gift after Ace was born, and I’ve been hooked ever since. When they say that their products are designed for the whole family, they mean it. I use the body washes and lotions on both of us. The brand is pure and simply couldn’t be more eco-friendly. Brand Philosophy: Founded in 2010, Babo Botanicals is passionate about sustainable agriculture and product formulation, using natural ingredients that are safe for people and the planet. Rich in botanical and mineral-based ingredients, Babo Botanicals is committed to providing formulas that deliver effective results with active ingredients from nature. Gentle enough for the entire family, Babo Botanicals’ range of high-quality personal care products includes sun care, hair care, body care, and beyond. The brand was founded by a mother on a mission to create gentle and effective plant-based solutions—she combined the knowledge she gained from working in product formulation with her passion for sustainable agriculture and the brand was born from ingredients she found in her garden. Today, the brand partners with sustainable farmers around the world to source their natural ingredients. Babo Botanicals is proud to be B Corp, Leaping Bunny Certified, and PETA Animal Test-Free certified. Babo continues its work with the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and is made here in the USA.

Newbies that are reinventing and keeping it clean while giving back!
LIGHTWATER This gorgeous small batch brand wants to change how you apply skincare and eliminate all those bottles. Brand Philosophy: Good-bye double-dip jars, hello fresh daily doses. Our 100% fresh active ingredients deliver optimum efficacy, and our clean, microbiome-friendly formulations are ideal for all skin. The end result? Skin is balanced, nourished, and healthy. It’s beyond skin care. It’s skin nutrition. We take a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to our packaging by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Our daily doses reduce resources and are fully recyclable. Flexible packaging requires 35% to 75% less material than rigid packaging does and utilizes fewer resources – such as water and energy – during production and transportation, reducing carbon footprint. Plus, while bottles and tubes utilize a mixture of materials (i.e., lid, dispenser, pump) which can impair recyclability, our daily doses are fully recyclable. We provide complimentary shipping to ensure they’re recycled through our recycling partner. Our resealable pouches are 60% compostable, breaking down naturally within 12 weeks. The remainder oxo-degrades over 5-10 years vs. the estimated 1,000 years for normal plastic. We utilize plant-based components that absorb greenhouse gas CO2 through natural plant respiration and reduce the use of finite fossil fuel and mineral resources. We are constantly in search of even more eco-friendly options.

TWICE Until I met TWICE, clean toothpaste brands never really delivered a bright smile for me. This new oral wellness brand does much more than just brighten your smile. All the products are plant-based and actually really, really work. The brand goes beyond just being plant-based and has a wonderfully clean footprint. But really, that whitening pen really really works! Brand Philosophy: TWICE, originally co-founded by Grammy award-winning music icon and humanitarian Lenny Kravitz and brothers Julian and Cody Levine in 2018, continues to redefine the future of the oral care category with its new brand identity and innovative suite of Oral Wellness Toothpaste, Floss, Whitening Pen, and Immunity Rinse products formulated with super ingredients and plant-based cleansers to offer maximum freshness and address the connection between the mouth microbiome and overall health throughout the entire body. Developed, tested, and engineered from TWICE’s mission to empower more people to smile both inside and out, the line features new vibrant yellow product packaging evoking the positive energy and brightness beaming from a healthy individual’s smile. “I believe that oral wellness impacts not only our overall health and wellbeing but how we show up in the world. We started TWICE in response to the disparaging state of dental care in the marginalized communities both domestically and abroad, which laid the foundation for a greater mission to spread love and the power of a smile to every single person on the planet,” said Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Lenny Kravitz. “TWICE is an essential part of balancing the mouth, body, and soul, and the company provides free dentistry to people without access to care around the world.”

Mom or not, it’s always great to find a shortcut or hack that delivers results without compromise or complaint. BUT now as a mom, I have never searched harder for targeted solutions to issues I never thought I’d need. Like how I’ve always had a healthy head of hair, but after baby Ace arrived I was losing it in bundles. Or how I always had a different balm for lips, face, and other needy patches. Once my little dude hit the scene, I had to condense and also be conscious of whatever I used touching his super sensitive baby skin. Basically, after the bambino arrives we need to come full circle with what’s really important and that means things need to be fast and concise. Today, I visited Destry and the team at Arizona Midday to chat about some mommy products that literally saved the day, hair, skin, you name it. All are listed below in order of appearance. Hope they help you!
For new moms, it can be a hair loss nightmare. My hair was everywhere, I almost cut it all off until I started looking for scalp treatments that kept the hair I had left in place and made my scalp regenerate. This stuff is so good it even won the Good Housekeeping Best of Beauty Award last year.
KeepItAnchored Essentials Kit For Women PRICE: $59.00 SHOP: @keepitanchored.com 1-Month Supply of KeepItAnchored Shampoo and HairAnchoring Essence. Our clinically-proven 2-step system for women is perfect for those looking for a quick clean and treat while keeping more hair. With the clinically-proven HairAnchor Blend, the daily Hair Anchoring Essences and Shampoo work together to calm scalp oxidative stress and reduce daily hair loss. What to expect: • After 4 weeks, people noticed a significant improvement in hair loss • After 8 weeks, people noticed less hair in their brush and hair looking and feeling fuller
Find a Superbalm. Yes, a super balm that will work on pretty much everything. Buy tons of it and keep it everywhere. I know we’ve talked about this before but there is nothing better than Lano for moms.

Find a “ONE AND DONE” when it comes to your face. This baby is a miracle worker. Mineral SPF, pore-eraser, fabulous makeup primer, and it’s universally tinted.

Find a bag that holds everything (and I mean everything) and stick with it. Transferring from bag to bag can be so time-consuming and tragic if you forget something (BINKY). If your kids are young, diaper bags aren’t exactly super stylish. Opt for brands that offer multi-purpose solutions that really wear well and are washable and lightweight.

Best of all, lining and zippers made from recycled materials offer a step toward more sustainable style.

We all love a new beauty trend that multi-tasks and WORKS. I’m back on Suncoast View for another stop on my beauty tour sharing my favorite Innovative Beauty finds from lashes to lips.
As a makeup artist I can pop a pair of lashes on someone in seconds but when it comes to applying to myself…couldn’t do it. Once magnetic lashes hit the market, I tried them out and wasn’t impressed. They never seemed to attach at the base of the lash and were just too heavy for my eyes. Eylure sent me their PROMAGNETIC lashes to try out and wow… they are amazing. Instead of sticking two lashes together or dealing with glue, you just use the liner included and lashes magnetize right into place. Mind-blowing!
Eylure PROMAGNETIC 10 Magnet & Felt Tip Eyeliner Kit PRICE: $16.99 SHOP: @Target Eylure is revolutionizing false eyelashes with our latest innovation. The ProMagnetic felt tip eyeliner allows you to adhere your magnetic lashes without any difficulties (or need for glue). This technology is simple; apply the eyeliner to your eye as you would a normal felt tip eyeliner and once it’s dry apply your magnetic lash onto the liner and you’re done! This long-lasting, smudge-proof formula is easy to use and is safe for daily wears. This kit includes the revolutionary ProMagnetic felt tip eyeliner and a pair of Marquise Faux mink lash. These lashes contain 10 Magnets for maximum hold. Lightweight and easy to remove, these lashes will last up to 15 wears!
