My favorite Gua Sha stone!

The Lanshin Pro Gua Sha Tool is a custom designed Gua Sha tool created by Sandra Lanshin Chiu - acupuncturist, herbalist and expert in Facial Gua Sha and Chinese medicine based skincare. The design is a result of her desire to create a "swiss army knife" of gua sha with multiple functions in one easy-to-use tool that is also sensuous in texture and beautifully reflects feminine curves.

Featured in gorgeous black nephrite jade, The Lanshin Pro perfectly reflects the belief that exquisite health is the root of radiant beauty. Also known as "He Tian" Jade, this stone is valued in China for its supportive healing properties, but the real magic is in the technique of how you use it to circulate and energize your skin and tissues.

One of my favorite ways to be more sustainable is to keep all gift bags, salvageable wrapping paper, tissue paper and bows. With all that saving though, there's lots of wrapping paper organization to be done. The best tip for wrapping paper storage is to have one place for it all to go. This rolling cart from Container Store is the perfect addition to your storage closet to serve as a wrapping paper station!

Holiday season is right around the corner so let’s reduce those frantic moments of tubbing around trying to find wrapping paper by using what we already have- in an organized way!

Trim, lightweight, and comfortable swim diaper encourages swimming—Baby will move freely during swim lessons without feeling weighed down. No bulky fabric and extra snaps, our baby swim diaper is cute enough to wear alone, but slim enough to wear under a standard baby swimsuit.

Patented design is breathable, absorbent, and waterproof—As the original swim diaper manufacturer, our patented triple-layer design offers superior function and comfort. The wicking liner is breathable against baby’s skin and helps prevent diaper rash. The inner absorbent layer helps protect against messes outside the pool without puffing up, while the waterproof outer layer works with the snug-fitting waist and legs to offer secure protection from accidents. A snug fit and frequent diaper checks are essential for any swim diaper to prevent pool accidents, see the size chart for more information. U.S. Pat. No. 7,678,094

No other diaper necessary! Economical and creates less waste—Save money and reduce waste with our machine-washable, reusable swim diaper compared to disposable swim diapers.

Teething is a milestone that comes with many different emotions for parents. It’s typically the start of eating solids, the loss of the adorable gummy smile, and quite possibly, the frustration that comes with the uncomfortable feelings your little one is experiencing.

While there are many products out there that boast a teething cure-all, each kiddo is different and what works for one may not work for another.

When it comes to teethers, choosing non-toxic options was essential for my little one. Why? Because your baby explores the world through their mouth, and the last thing you want is harmful chemicals in their teethers.

Prioritize teethers made from safe materials such as natural rubber, organic cotton, or untreated wood.

Here's what I prioritize in non-toxic teethers:
🌿 Made from safe and durable materials
🌿 Free from harmful chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and PVC
🌿 Textured and soothing for teething babies
🌿 Easy to clean and baby-friendly

My top two recommendations for materials are 100% wood or natural rubber though some 100% food-grade or platinum silicone options can fit the bill, too.

Creating a Montessori home doesn’t take many extra items. We want our kids and babies to have open ended toys that allow their minds to explore and grow. On top of that we want to chose items that are made out of natural products (think wood not plastic) and have no toxic materials or processing.

Nothing is cuter than seeing a little kid splash around, having the time of their life in a pool.

Unfortunately, most of the baby pools out there are of the blow-up version and these are typically made with PVC which is one of my big NOs. PVC is especially a no when it will be in warm and wet conditions- the perfect environment for leaching chemicals.

When it comes to baby/kiddie pools the harder the plastic, the better. Yup- those super cheap ones ($10-15) that you see at many big box stores are what you want! I even grabbed one at Petsmart the other day! These pools won’t last season after season, most likely, but they are your safest bet.

PS- if you are filling your pool up with a hose, make sure that you have purchased a lead-free version!

Do you have a pool or something for kiddos to splash in at home?

Want to know the number one thing I look for in a car seat?🥇 Well...besides the obvious safety ratings?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥No flame retardants! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Flame retardants have been associated with many different cancers, lower IQ, behavioral issues, and reproductive/ hormonal damage. Additionally they do not break down, easily, so they stick around in the environment for years. They have also been found to bioaccumulate (build up) in humans systems over time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kids are most vulnerable to flame retardants because they are still developing. They also mouth EVERYTHING so the chances of them ingesting these chemicals is much higher. Additionally, studies have been found to show that added flame retardants don't provide the level of effectiveness as some believed. DM me for some studies/references. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The NIH and NTP (National Toxicology Program) are both furthering their studies into the effects of flame retardants and trying to find safer alternatives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are my top 5 recommendations for infant car seats without flame retardants! More details on the blog- linked in bio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 Uppababy Mesa (Jordan and Henry colors, only)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 Nuna Pipa (all models)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 Clek Liing⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 Britax Endeavours (SafeWash versions, only)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 Maxi-Cosi Mico Max Plus (PureCosi Onyx Bliss, only)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We personally had the uppababy in henry (pictured right) and we were big fans! It snapped easily into our stroller, was easy enough to carry and was aesthetically pleasing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What was your top concern with an infant car seat?
