Meet Sam

Meet Sam

Hi, Welcome to Fearfully Made, Fearlessly Living. My name is Sam. I’m a wife and mama to a baby I’ll meet in heaven one day, a beautiful rainbow toddler girl, and easygoing newborn son! I’m passionate about a lot of things including my faith, cleaner living, safer beauty, miscarriage awareness and breaking the stigma of silence that surrounds it, and the rights of the unborn. I hope to impart some knowledge onto anyone who pops onto this blog and just maybe spark some passion along the way.

Everyone deserves the right to know what they are putting on their skin and in their bodies. Beautycounter has been asked on several occasions about their use of talc–specifically as it pertains to asbestos contamination. Talc serves as one of the base ingredients in their powders and contributes to the high performance of the product and allows them to meet their stringent heavy metal limits. Heavy metals that are harmful and toxic to humans are unfortunately naturally occurring and find their way into cosmetics. -- Some background from @beautycounter: "We had originally started working with a non-talc base for all of our powder formulas, but found that any time we tried working with our suppliers on this direction, our heavy metals tests came back with levels that were well beyond our health protective limits. Because of the performance and lower levels of heavy metals, we determined that talc was a safer alternative to work and provides a beautiful, high-performing result." -- Years ago there was concern that talc mines (which is sourced from the mineral magnesium silicate) are located near asbestos and therefore may be contaminated with asbestos fibers. You may have seen the lawsuits against Johnson and Johnson bc of asbestos in their baby powder. Some studies indicate that exposure to talcum powder through genital use of talc-based body powders may be linked to increased ovarian cancer or uterine cancer.🤬 -- Most talc manufacturers took steps to reduce or eliminate this concern starting in the 1970s. A 2010 US FDA survey of talc-containing products did not find asbestos, and Beautycounter's independent research has confirmed these findings. "We obtain certificates of purity from our talc supplier which assures us that there is no detectable asbestos in the talc used in our formulas, but we do not just take their word for it. We also conduct additional, third-party testing on each batch of our supply of talc using what we currently understand to be the most sensitive testing method and instrument." -- Although BC's powders containing asbestos-free talc have shown to be safe, they are planning to roll out reformulated talc-free powders this year!🎉 You know those mornings when you are short on time but still want to wear a little bit of makeup? Enter: Flawless in Five. -- This is the perfect set to start with to transition to cleaner, safer makeup. 6 products for $150 which is a 20% discount. Plus you’ll get a Retractable Foundation Brush free with your Flawless in Five purchase from now until 1/27.👏🏻 Great deal! -- Once your new makeup arrives, make sure to keep these tips and tricks from @beautycounter's Chief Artistic Officer, @christy_coleman, in mind: 💄Keep blush in the center of your face, where you would naturally flush. 💄If you apply a little too much blush, use the sides of your Retractable Brush with the remaining foundation on it to tone down the intensity. 💄Blend concealer under your eyes all the way down along your nose to the bottom of the nose to conceal any broken capillaries or discoloration. 💄Apply foundation to the center of your face and blend out. 💄Our mascara contains natural wax which needs to be warmed up a bit for the best application. Put yours in your pocket (or your bra - that’s what I do) when you start to apply your makeup so it’s warmed up by the time you’re ready to apply it. -- Which makeup products do you reach for when you're in a hurry? You may not be too familiar with mica, but I bet you come into contact with it every day. It’s in so many products: ✨that luster in your eyeshadow, 🖌️the paint on your walls, 📱& the electronics you use daily, just to name a few. Watch this quick minute video to see what I'm talking about! -- But do you know where that mica has been and who has had to labor over it? -- It’s not enough to just use products that are safe for you and your body and your family. The mica industry is tied to so much corruption and child labor that even if a product is safe for you, it may be harming the well-being of a child on the other side of the world. -- So here I am yet again extremely thankful for @beautycounter and what they are doing to change the status quo. 👏 Every mica supplier that BC uses has been audited via phone in 2019 with the goal of being audited in-person by the end of 2020. -- Transparency is no joke. Did you know this about the mica industry? Happy New Year! Yes, I know it's the 9th already, but this is my first post of 2020. I'm not going to apologize for my break from social media...it was necessary. -- I indulged way too much in 2019. Preaching mindfulness and then spending frivolously.😔 So cheers to fresh starts! This year I am cutting back my spending on material items (sorry beautiful clean beauty and skin care 😭) and focusing on paying off debt! Less mindless social media scrolling, more connection. Anyone else wanting a more intentional and minimalistic year? -- PS-What kind of content are you interested in seeing on FMFL this year? 💅Benzophenone is used in personal care products such as lip balm and nail polish to protect the products from UV light. In personal care products, benzophenone is used as a fragrance enhancer or to prevent products such as soaps from losing scents and colors in the presence of UV light. -- Derivatives of benzophenone, such as benzophenone-2 (BP2) and oxybenzone (benzophenone-3 or BP3) are common ingredients in sunscreen. -- Benzophenone is linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, developmental and reproductive toxicity, organ system toxicity, irritation, and ecotoxicity (toxic to aquatic organisms).👎🏻 -- Look for nail polishes that are at least "5 Free" to avoid benzophenone and other toxins. I like the brands @ellamila, @coteshop, and @zoyanailpolish. -- What are your favorite clean polishes? In case you missed the news, so many Beautycounter favorites including many of these holiday sets shown here are marked down up to 60% off.🤸🏼‍♀️ -- The Countermatch products are also on super sale thanks to the recent repackaging. This is the line that made me fall in love with Beautycounter. The Adaptive Moisture Lotion is my holy grail product.
