Hey, I’m Amanda! I’m a hip-hop loving, mother of two, who tries not to take life too seriously! Except for when it comes to toxins, I take those pretty seriously! You see, when I was just a teen, a teen mom to be exact, I started struggling with feeling sick on a daily basis. From debilitating stomach aches, to head splitting migraines, my daily life became a struggle. I went from doctor to doctor with no answers. The longer this went on, I developed chronic fatigue, brain fog, and pain all over my body. I seriously thought I was dying!
Through this journey, I was diagnosed with IBS and fibromyalgia, but no real explanation on how I got here, or how I could get better. I took matters into my own hands, and quite frankly, became desperate for answers. I did tons of research, and along the way I discovered how the foods I was eating could be affecting me. I decided to drastically change my diet, which helped, but it still wasn’t enough. That is when I discovered about detoxing my body, supporting my liver, and eliminating toxins from my life. I was heartbroken when I realized all of my precious makeup and skincare products could be literally poisoning me!

I was determined to find clean beauty products that were both high performing and safe at the same time. I still wanted my skin and makeup to be on fleek, just without the consequences. Good news is, that its totally possible! Over the past few years, I truly became passionate about living a clean lifestyle, and sharing what I’ve learned with others along the way. My fibromyalgia symptoms are pretty much non existent now, and I’ve regained so much of my energy. I’m definitely still on a mission to continue healing, and I’m hoping I can take you along for the ride.
I hope my blog can be a place where you can feel empowered to make better decisions for you and your family. We should have the right to know what is in our products, and how to make safer choices for our bodies. I hope I can make your journey to clean a bit easier, and prevent you from having to go through all the trial and error that I experienced. Cheers to safer beauty and getting rid of toxins for good! Holla at your girl if you ever have any questions. I’m just a comment or e-mail away.
With Love,
Amanda Lopez
