What Christians Should Know About Makeup Ingredients

Image
There was a time when I never thought twice about what was in my makeup. If it smelled nice, worked well enough, and fit the budget, into the basket it went. I didn’t question ingredient lists I couldn’t pronounce, or why my skin felt irritated after using certain products. I didn’t connect my daily habits with my faith. But eventually, after 3-bouts of cancer between my teens and 20's, a quiet nudge began to surface. Not fear. Not guilt. Just awareness. As Christians, we’re called to live with discernment — not perfection — and that includes the ordinary choices we make every day. What we eat, what we bring into our homes, and yes, even what we place on our skin. This isn’t about vanity. And it certainly isn’t about legalism. It's about stewardship, wisdom, and love. Beauty Isn’t the Problem — Disconnection Is Scripture is clear that our worth does not come from outward appearance. But Scripture also teaches that our bodies are a gift — something entrusted to us, not something...

Buying With Care

Image
Sit friend, and lets chat a moment. I’ve learned over the years that the things we bring into our homes… matter. More than we realize. More than we’re usually told. BUYING WITH CARE What we put on our skin matters. What we clean our homes with matters. Who we choose to buy from matters. And yes—even what a product is called  matters to me. I’m a reader. I’m a label-turner. I’m the person who wants to know what’s in it, where it comes from, and what the company stands behind. Is it good for me? For my family? For the planet? Not because I’m perfect or extreme, but because my faith and my values don’t clock out when I’m shopping. I choose  L emongrass Spa , Twin Acres , and Evan Healy for my makeup, skincare, body care, and home cleaning because they align with how I want to live. Clean ingredients. Thoughtful sourcing. No hidden junk. No sketchy fragrances. No glossing over what’s actually inside the bottle. I want products that are safe for my body, gentle on my home, and res...

The Gift of Reading: Why Books Will Always Matter

Image
  There’s something almost magical about reading. Maybe it’s the way words leap off a page and create worlds inside your mind. Maybe it’s the smell of an old, beloved book that feels like home. Or maybe it’s that satisfying sound of turning a crisp new page, like a little drumbeat of discovery. However it comes to you, reading is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves—and the next generation. Growing in Knowledge and Word Power Every time you pick up a book, you’re adding treasures to your knowledge chest. Books stretch us. They grow our vocabulary, they strengthen our minds, and they even help us understand others better. A single book can teach you a new skill, open your eyes to a culture you’ve never experienced, or give you words to describe feelings you’ve never been able to put into language. Think about it: the more words you know, the better you can express yourself. Reading doesn’t just make us smarter—it makes us clearer, deeper communicators. And who doesn’t nee...
