We love a matching moment, but finding swimwear that aligns with our low-tox values can be tricky! I always look for recycled materials and healthy, safe certifications when shopping for the kids. Plus, I love a good two-piece set—it makes pool days so much easier!

Pack with me for Napa 🍷✈️

I’m keeping things simple, comfortable, and elevated with pieces that work from wine tastings to dinner out. I always gravitate toward natural fibers when I can—think linen, cotton, and other breathable fabrics—but I also mix in a few easy-care pieces that travel well.

Of course, I’m also packing some of my favorite nontoxic essentials to help me feel my best while traveling. From clean beauty and skincare to healthier travel swaps, these are the items I never leave home without.

Everything linked in this post is coming with me to Napa, and I can’t wait to share more from the trip! 🍇✨#LTKStyle #TravelEssentials #NontoxicLiving #CapsuleWardrobe

I’ve always been someone who clears their plate—it's just a habit I’ve had my whole life! I honestly didn't even realize it was a “problem” until I started incorporating this GLP-1 Booster from ColonBroom into my daily routine. Since starting it, I've noticed such a difference in my satiety, and for the first time, I’m actually able to listen to my body's cues instead of just finishing everything on my plate. It’s been such a helpful, low-tox swap for me at 35, and I’m so happy to be sharing it with you all.

This swap has been on my mind for a longgg time and it feels so good to cross it off the list.

This is the nicest mattress protector I’ve ever had and think it’s so essential for life with kids. I love the way it feels, how it washes, the healthier material, and that it works perfectly.

Linking it here for you if you need to make a similar swap and ditch the plastic trash bag mattress protector 😆

My everyday mom uniform, but make it natural. ✨ I’m always in a white tee, but I’m making a conscious effort to ensure my go-to basics are made from organic, natural fibers instead of synthetic plastics.

Found the perfect high-waisted mom shorts to pair with this organic cotton tee—they are loose, comfortable enough for all-day wear, and have the cutest button-front detail.

Swap out the polyester and elevate your daily basics with me! Link in bio to shop the full look on LTK. 🤍

Lately I’ve been reaching for more liquid vitamins and supplements, and I’ve honestly been loving how easy they are to take 👏🏼 I’ve especially been incorporating this liquid NAD into my routine because I’m always looking for simple ways to support energy, focus, and overall wellness naturally.

I also love that liquid forms can be easier for absorption compared to traditional capsules, especially when I’m trying to stay consistent during busy seasons of motherhood. Simple wellness swaps like this have made such a difference in how I feel day to day 🤍

Spent some time in the sun today, so I’m reaching for the Sky and Sol Barrier Cream tonight ☀️✨ I love that it’s packed with nourishing ingredients that leave my skin feeling calm, hydrated, and supported after sun exposure.

Kids grow like weeds, but their toxic exposure shouldn’t. 🌱✨

Just did a major clothing haul for my daughter’s summer wardrobe, and you know I had to check the tags! 🔍

Every single piece I grabbed is GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they are completely free from harmful chemicals, synthetics, and harsh dyes. Perfect for sensitive skin and endless summer play.

From the sweetest little ruffle tees to the perfect navy set for the 4th of July, we’re keeping it cute, clean, and totally non-toxic.

Affordable skincare that actually works AND uses nontoxic ingredients? Yes please 🙌 I’ve been loving my routine from Earth Harbor lately. Everything feels so gentle, effective, and thoughtfully made without the harsh ingredients I try to avoid. It’s rare to find skincare that checks all the boxes: clean ingredients, beautiful packaging, great results, and budget-friendly too ✨

If you’ve been looking for a more affordable nontoxic skincare option, this one is definitely worth trying 🤍

Anyone else’s school surprise them with a last-minute PJ party? 🙋‍♀️ cue the sudden scramble to find pajamas that actually fit... and aren't covered in holes!

When it comes to my kids’ PJs, I’m always balancing comfort, cuteness, and what’s actually healthy for their skin. While these sets aren’t organic, they still hit some major wins for a lower-tox lifestyle:

✨ OEKO-TEX® Certified: Tested and free from harmful levels of toxic substances.
✨ No Flame Retardants: That bright yellow tag means they are snugly fitted and not treated with harsh chemical flame retardants.
✨ 100% Cotton: No synthetic plastics or polyesters, so their skin can breathe while they sleep (and detox!) naturally.

We don't have to be perfect, we just do the best we can with what we have! 🤍

I managed to find some cute dragon sets for my daughter and soccer-themed ones for my son (who is officially obsessed!). I’ve linked all of these sets if your little ones are due for a refresh too! ☀️

What do your kids love on their PJs right now? Let me know below! 👇

Outfits for sipping wine without the synthetic overload 🍇
I always try to pack pieces made with natural fibers when we travel—lighter, more breathable, and just overall more comfortable for long days out. This would be so cute for Napa… or honestly any winery date close to home.

✈️ I’m already getting organized for my trip at the end of the month. One of my favorite swaps for a more sustainable carry-on is using Stasher bags. I’ve had some of mine for over 5 years and they are still going strong!

These are perfect for:
• Snacks for the flight 🥨
• Toiletries (to keep leaks contained!) 🧴
• Small electronics or cords 🔌

I'm linking them here for you! Check the link in my bio to grab your own and start your plastic-free journey.

It’s been a busy week of progress around here! ✨

Between the basement wet bar finally coming together (hello, organic wine storage! 🍷) and getting my organic garden starts ready for the beds, my heart is full.

I usually start my own seeds, but after a little vacation, I needed a backup plan. I’m so impressed with these organic pepper and herb starts from Organic Harvest—they arrived in perfect condition right to my door here in Indiana!

Who else is getting their hands in the dirt this weekend? 🍅🌱

One of my boys’ favorite breakfasts 🍯✨ We call it “honey toast” and it’s such an easy option for busy mornings. We use toasted sourdough topped with smashed banana, cinnamon, and a drizzle of our favorite true superfood honey 👏🏼 The combo is so simple but keeps them full, satisfied, and happy every single time.

I love adding cinnamon for extra flavor and blood sugar support, and the quality of the honey truly makes all the difference. This is one of those breakfasts that feels cozy, balanced, and mom-approved ✔️

I’ve tried a lot of collagen over the years, but finding one that actually dissolves completely without changing the taste of my coffee or water? Mind blown 🤯

This grass-fed collagen has been one of the easiest wellness habits to stay consistent with because it mixes seamlessly into literally anything. No clumps, no weird texture, no overpowering flavor.

I love adding collagen in daily for extra protein and support for healthy skin, hair, nails, joints, and overall recovery—especially during busy seasons when I know my body needs more nourishment.

Simple swaps like this are what make healthy habits feel sustainable 🤍 code: BALANCEDFRIENDS30 saves you money!

Your gut impacts everything—from inflammation and hormones to sleep, mood, and energy. This is the gut protocol I come back to time and time again, both personally and with clients, especially after seasons like pregnancy when the gut can feel more disrupted.

One month in, I’m already noticing a difference—less bloating and inflammation, deeper sleep, more stable moods, and my body starting to find its rhythm again hormonally. And the best part? There are still two more months to continue rebuilding and supporting from the inside out.

A good protocol isn’t about restriction—it’s about removing what’s not serving you, replenishing what your body is missing, and creating an environment where your gut can actually heal and function the way it’s designed to.

If you’ve been feeling off, this might be your reminder that your gut could be the place to start 🤍

As a new mama I’m loving these healthier diapers for my baby!

Unlike a lot of traditional diapers (which are mostly plastic), these use plant-based materials like bamboo and skip things like fragrance, lotions, chlorine, and dyes

It’s just a gentler option for their skin—and one of those easy swaps that feels really good as a mom 🌿
