Successful VBAC Birth Story from an IVF Mom hero
Jamie Miele Photography LLC

Hi there! My name is Steffanie and I’ve had this beauty blog since 2015. It’s evolved a bit over the years, but since having my first daughter in 2018, I’ve shifted some things after battling infertility (8.5 years of IVF) and autoimmune disease (Hashimotos).

My goal is to help you reduce toxin exposure and live a more beautiful life using products that do better.

I particularly like to focus on attainable makeup looks and skincare recommendations for the sensitive, acne prone, anti aging girlies. ✨

Besides dumping all of my top secret tricks online,

My former career includes over a decade of success in marketing communications and public relations for non-profits to Fortune 100 companies. I have my Master of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship/Innovation Management and my Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism.

I also dabbled for several years as a freelance makeup artist and member of Estee Lauder’s Pro Artistry Team in the Houston, NY and Philadelphia areas.

In 2018 though, I was introduced to cleaner beauty after realizing I didn’t have to sacrifice performance for safety.
My cleaner living journey started much before that, however. Flashback to 2014 when my husband and I started trying for our first baby (I was 28).
We struggled with unexplained infertility for over three years, and ultimately ended up conceiving my daughter via IVF in 2018.
After several more years of treatments, I was able to add to our crew with another IVF baby girl in 2023.
Prior to that, I had been diagnosed in 2009 with both Hashimoto’s and Grave’s disease – thyroid autoimmune diseases.
Both the infertility and autoimmune issues have no known hereditary origin… so for me, I feel my health issues are environmentally triggered. I am doing the best I can to help educate myself, my friends and family choose safer personal care as often as they can.

I’m here to sparkle bright and help you do the same. I hope you’ll join me by subscribing and following me on social media:
