Why I Joined the Beautycounter Movement

why i joined beautycounter

If you’ve been following here for awhile, you may have noticed I don’t take on many affiliates or sponsorships. I didn’t start blogging to make money or grow a business. I started Grazed & Enthused so that I could make an impact in the autoimmune community after having my life turned upside down from autoimmune […]

Why You Can’t Lose Weight Breastfeeding

    Post-partum weight loss seems to be top of mind for many new moms. Part of this is an innate drive to return to our previous physique but I would argue the majority of our motivation stems from external influences.   These unrealistic expectations have wired our brains to expect a magical post-partum shedding […]

Roasted Bone Marrow Spread on Grain-Free Toast (Paleo, AIP)

      Days that involve roasted bone marrow are days that I hope my faulty hippocampus remembers. Because they are the best days. Seriously, I have the worst memory out of anyone I know, and it has been severely compromised further since I had Grace. I can feed her, put her in her playpen, […]

Real Food Guide to St. Petersburg

We have been back in the Bay Area for 6 months now, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the new gluten-free and Paleo-friendly offerings here since we moved away 4 years ago.

    I’m so excited my contributor recipe for Autoimmune Wellness is finally up for the month! Mostly because I am now reminded how delightful this white tea latte was when I made it last month. There’s something incredibly calming about taking time to make a special warm beverage, and sitting down to enjoy it […]

Paleo Tortillas (AIP)

    There’s nothing that quite gets the Paleo community hot & bothered like a good tortilla. We all just like to roll, stuff, and crunch our way into meat & veggies. Nothing wrong with that, my friends.   I used to buy Siete Cassava & Coconut Flour Tortillas but I haven’t been able to […]

Here’s my list of non-toxic sunscreen that works, and why you’ll want to toss that conventional Coppertone after reading this article.   For almost 3 decades, I slathered coconut-scented drugstore sunscreen all over my body for a good part of the year. When you grow up in Florida and spend as much time outside as […]
