Insert - waterless clean beauty
l’m all for clean products...but unfortunately I’ve tried too many that don’t perform. Oliveda, however, has exceeded my expectations…in less than 3 weeks!
Oliveda uses hydroxytyrosol (google it.) from the most pristine mountain olive trees in Spain. These trees are at the root of every product and provide the main elixir as the base.
- instead of water.
FACT - Water is the first ingredient in most skincare products on the market (both drugstore and medical grade).
FACT - When water is the first ingredient listed on the label of your skincare products; it means that the majority of that product is water. (Approx 70%)
FACT - Water is a breeding ground for bacteria, yeast, and mold. To prevent this; water based products require preservatives.
FACT - Preservatives can contribute to inflammation and have a negative impact on your skin’s microbiome and skin barrier.
FACT - Inflammation is the root cause of many skin concerns.
QUESTION - Why do we continue to use skincare products primarily formulated with water and preservatives to combat skin concerns that are most likely caused by inflammation in the first place?

Motherhood is just plain hard no matter what season of it you’re in. And I knew that going into it but didn’t think I would have the intrusive thoughts about how I responded to my kids, what I wasn’t getting done on a day to day basis. I didn’t realize I would be so incredibly touched out and overstimulated. Four boys 6 and under is no joke.
I have cried more times than I can count wondering how long this season would last. When would that weight of having littles lift? I felt guilt and questioned what I was doing wrong as their mom seeing how much they fight and how easily triggered they get. The rage, disobedience, uncontrollable crying. One thing after another day after day. I felt so much brain fog. Feeling like I was treading water and waking up every single day knowing I’d have to be in survival mode once again. It’s exhausting.
More times than not, I would wonder what was wrong with me not being able to do tasks I needed to get done. I was in fight or flight mode and feeling paralyzed. Until 5 days ago.
I reached out to a friend who I know was experiencing some of the same things I was and asked her how she has been released from what feels so suffocating. She voice message me and I could instantly tell in her voice that she just sounded genuinely happier.
I feel like this weight has finally been lifted. I am no longer in survival mode. We still have situations with the boys but I’m not dreading dealing with it. I just mother them with grace. The brain fog is gone. I’m waking up happier and ready to take on the day. When the house was a mess, I used to dread cleaning. Now, I see something that needs to be done and just do it. It’s as if a switch was flipped on that was turned off for so long.
The boys have also been on this journey with me. I am watching them regulate their emotions way faster. Their fits aren’t as dramatic and it doesn’t set the tone for the remainder of the day. They aren’t coming in our room at 6:30am fighting and screaming. Their focus has become more apparent. They are going to bed easier and responding with much more respect. I could cry because I have been so upset over the constant frustration. I feel free. I feel light.
Another year in the books and finished runners up! It’s a joy to be apart of this team and to watch these kids grow together. Nathan, we are so proud of you! ⚾️

Water is by far my drink of choice and it’s so good for you!
But not when it comes to your skincare products.
Why?
Because it’s not stable on its own. You need preservatives so it can sit on the shelf. Makes you wonder why you’re not seeing the results you want doesn’t it?
Is it worth it to save money if you’re potentially disrupting your hormones and irritating the skin? Not for me.
If your product says water as its first ingredient, most likely, 70% of it is just that. Water and toxic preservatives. That is what you are paying for! I say no more.
Over here, we use elixirs from the OLIVE TREE which are stable and have endless benefits to the skin.
If you’re ready to stop paying for products that have more of a risk of harming you than helping you, comment DIFFERENT and I’ll send you my free full sized product consultation!
I’ve said this many times.
I love being a mom!
I prayed for this.
But it is hard and I get overwhelmed quite often.
There’s very few moments in the day to reset but those times of escaping the noise and chaos is invaluable.
To forgive myself for blowing up
Regulate my emotions so I can be the calm for my kids
Ask Jesus for help because He is my strength
Hi, mama. I’m just like you. Remember to take care of yourself so you can show up for them well. 💜
