Today, I'm partnering with Tony's Fresh Markets - one of my favorite Chicagoland grocery stores - to share some of my favorite holiday traditions. Also, there's a giveaway for a giftcard to Tony's at the end of this post! My Polish Roots Christmas for my family means celebrating lots of traditions. A little background about my family: my family is Polish and I am a first generation American in my family (first to be born in America). My parents immigrated to the U.S. in the 1980's for graduate school and decided to stay in America. My parents loved the opportunities America offered and embraced much of American culture, but were also proud of their Polish heritage, and instilled this pride ... Read the Post

Best of Sephora Clean Beauty Round-Up
To be honest, I've taken a break from Sephora since getting into Beautycounter. I just didn't see the transparency with ingredients and the kind of quality, safer products I found with Beautycounter. But recently, Sephora started a section called "Clean Beauty Products" and now use a label to distinguish the products that are free from sulfates, parabens, SLS, SLES. This label makes it super easy to find safer products and I think it might bring me back to shopping at Sephora! If you shop at Sephora, you know they rarely have sitewide sales-Typically only a handful of times a year. Now is one of those times, if you're a Beauty Insider (Free to Join), you get 15% off almost everything! Use ... Read the Post
