I am going to keep this so easy. These are my all time favorite sunscreens. I am going to give you a few categories to figure out which one you want to try. THINGS TO NOTE. I am going to make this bullet point real quick because you should know my biases: I prefer US mineral sunscreens OR I prefer the UV filters from Korea/Japan usually. I do NOT like chemical sunscreens from the US only because…
Things I wish autoimmune people believed about themselves. I want you to hear this. There is “language of the sick” and “language of the healthy.” I want you to use language of the healthy. 1. Because I wan’t you to get healthier and 2. I want you to thrive emotionally. When I run by these things about Autoimmune people… things we should know and believe about ourselves.. ask yourself: Is this…
My top tips for making friends right now. This isn’t some generic BS. It’s exactly how I do it. Friendship doesn’t need to be in the top two priorities in life (which could be family and your health both physical and emotional) but I do think it should be in the top three. Matched with career or hopefully even more important than career. JUST MY OPINION. I think people are happier with consistent…
I am about to pump you up with some information. Like you’re about to love the control you get from knowing this and the power it can give you haha! Okay so there’s a study showing if you think yourself young, your physical body will become younger. Check it outtttttt. This is called the Counterclockwise study . So it’s 1979 and Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer takes 16 men in their late 70s,…
I know you're expecting me to say I use hydroxyapatite toothpaste, or something where you understand all the ingredients straight away. Maybe something from a jar, I don't know. But you probably already have in your head what my routine consists of. Can we start from scratch? Because I’m sometimes that girl but not always that girl. I do ask you keep an open mind and read this entire thing before…
On IG stories I often post myself drinking this brown goop that I put it in water. I just drop in a dollop and drink it. That’s a liposomal PC complex that I like — aka phosphatidylcholine. (Code = VIOLETFOG to save some moola) It’s a game changer nutrient and one that I plan on taking forever. If you learn similar to me- we like bullet point style, unique use cases, girl speak… so that’s how I’m…
Girls who have gone through hair loss are a different kind of breed. Resilient. Forced to surrender. Forced to see where else she is beautiful. Expected not too care too much out loud yet tears with every clump in her hand. And unexpectedly, but very real, she’s often face to face with the question…. But what matters most in my life? Because when you’re losing hair it takes the number one spot in…
Your castle might get bigger one day. Maybe you start making way more money. Maybe you meet the love of your life. Start a family. Maybe you suddenly have more access and conventionally powerful people in your life. Maybe you get the white picket fence. The notoriety. Maybe you just suddenly understand what it means to experience true peace. Nothing really changes but you suddenly “get it.” Boy do…
Someone just asked me how I justify losing privacy with the VIOLETFOG platform. Valid Q. My platform doesn’t have the strength to stand on aesthetics alone. Because I’m not an aesthetic creator- when it comes to home, fashion etc. Do I think my shiz is cute? Duh. But it’s not aesthetic enough to be all my page is about. My platform doesn’t have the strength to stand on just educational posts…
Black Friday Deals Buying something just because it’s discounted doesn’t automatically make it a good purchase. What matters more to me (and to you) is quality, intention, and alignment with your wellness/lifestyle values . And of course- NOT going above your budget for this! So yes — some of these are genuinely good deals, and others are a bit more “meh” in terms of savings — but each one is a…
Okay so there are the three main attachment styles right? Anxious attachment. Secure attachment. Avoidant attachment. Anxious: Loves deeply (and sometimes quickly) and values constant connection. Often looks like checking in a lot, making the other person a priority (sometimes above your own needs), and wanting reassurance all the time. Secure: Feels comfy and COZY with closeness and trust. Often…
I do have regrets with my birth. I do have moments where I look back and I’m mad at myself. I’m trying to turn those “regrets” into lessons and yes I am logical enough to know where I deserve grace. But I do think it’s also important to reflect back on life ask yourself what exactly did I need to learn here? These are mine when it comes to my birth. (I had a traumatic birth unfortunately which I…
I gave birth six days ago to my son Neil. I dreamt about him for 10 months. I prayed over him in my womb daily. I am so in love with him I can’t even find the words (and I’m a writer.) I celebrate Neil separate from my birth. Because my birth was a traumatic one and I want thoughts of him to be unconnected from that. But this is my birth story. I’m sharing this just in hopes that it helps any…
I have truly had the best and healthiest pregnancy. I could not ask for more. THANK YOU GOD. I know He has been looking out for me! I listed this out SUPER QUICK BULLET POINT because I know we have little time and I wanted to be efficient! Some are product based (I provided codes) and some are techniques! You got this!! Pregnancy is hard but we can shift some things!! <3 I have kept my minerals…
At MOST — I will do light lymph work like the Big 6 (by Dr. Perry Nickelston) in a warm shower. Not a hot shower. Definitely not a sauna. Dry brushing I don’t do in a sauna. Or before a super hot shower. Even when it’s not lymph focused (because remember there is simple dry brushing for skin, which is amazing, and there is dry brushing that’s good for both skin AND lymph. That one takes a little…
This is how I naturally whiten my teeth without whitening products or whitening strips. I have not used whitening strips or any whitening product for over five years now. I used to be an avid user and I’m so upset by that lol. You just know it caused so much damage. There are NO safe whitening products. Whitening products are damaging to your teeth, even those Lumineux whitening strips that every…
For reference I am 37. I think you know that but I know people are usually curious. I know I am lol. Now I LOVE the thought of getting older. Don’t wish to look younger. But duh- I do enjoy having bright skin. So let’s get into some of my habits and maybe some will be appealing to you as well. Habit 1. I do niceys for my lymph all day. Open up the terminus/clavicle from time to time. Scalp…
Remember in magazines growing up how it would have all the TIPS written out? I loved that. Consider this kinda like that. These are little hacks/tips that are health focused but not perfection focused!! If you strive for perfection life gets boring and rigid and then you sometimes even get lower self esteem because you can’t live up to perfection. So be EASY. ;) SUPER SIMPLE HACKS I DO THAT YOU…
As much as I love short form content sometimes it's the details that paint the real/whole picture. Some of these things I think I might say in passing and it could totally be taken the wrong way. So I'm sharing here. I like open dialogue about life. Connecting, relating-- it's healing. So yes the news is I am indeed pregnant (Thank you God!!!!) At my time of writing this I am in the second…
Epigenetics. Such a fascinating subject and eye opener. When it comes to your health, you’ll get so many questions answered and so many things validated if you were to test your Epigenetics. Testing my epigenetics was by far one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I had done a ton of research and I knew I wanted to do it through Designer Genes . Blood work can change, but your genes are…
