Why I Don’t Take Synthetic Birth Control by theorganicbunny on March 26, 2019November 6, 2021 Please remember- I am NOT a doctor and this is NOT medical advice, however, I will be noting much of my information from two doctors I trust to speak on this topic. You must always find your own doctor to assist with your health and hormones, but be sure to find one with values and methods that align with yours! Many of you know how much I avoid synthetic drugs as often as possible, so one of the most frequent questions I get here is what do you do about birth control!? While many people think things like hormone-free IUD’s may be a better option, the sad reality is, anything your doctor may suggest for you can come with a slew of side effects, yes, even non-hormonal options and thousands of women are suffering because of it. I honestly have never had more messages, from any other topic, than this one which truly has me heartbroken to learn that so many women are struggling to clean up the mess their birth control has left them with.

Got Botox? I Don’t, Here’s Why by theorganicbunny on March 19, 2019March 19, 2019 Let’s talk about it, the elephant in the green beauty room, botox, and fillers. One of the most common questions I get here is women asking me if I have had any work done to my face and the honest answer is no, never. For me, personally, it would feel incredibly misleading and deceptive to know I had work done but, instead, passed it off as some magical skin care item or healthy diet. Read More

How To Make Clean Protein Shakes by theorganicbunny on May 22, 2017May 22, 2017 Starting up my new Organic Bunny store has been so much fun, however, my body and overall fitness frequency has taken a serious back seat to it all. That, in combination with wedding planning, home renovations and just life in general really has me in need of a serious health revamp which is why I am going to start posting more healthy recipes to keep myself accountable and hopefully inspire others to do the same! Sometimes we can’t do it all, and that’s ok, but it doesn’t mean that at any point we can’t simply choose to hit the reset button so that’s exactly what I am going to do starting now! This morning, I really did not want to go on a run but, I forced myself to while the dogs still slept. I woke up, made myself a clean pre-workout drink using the Rootz Nutrition Paleo Energizing Superfood and off I went. The key to making changes is to flat out just start them, it’s really the only option! Just get up, put the workout clothes and force yourself out the door 🙂 I love using this pre-workout drink also because it really does give me a serious boost of clean energy, made with only natural forms of caffeine like Yerba Matte, Asian Ginseng, Matcha Green Tea and more! Simply mix this with water, add a little ice for tastiness and within 30 minutes you will feel a powerful boost of energy for an amazing workout, without the crash. Read More
Best Supplements- MegaFood by theorganicbunny on May 19, 2017May 19, 2017 Because I have been on the quest for truly clean supplements for some time now, I just had to update you all that I have finally found a brand I feel great about supporting! Before finding the MegaFood brand, I was using many of the New Chapter vitamins because they were easy for me to access at local health markets, however, after I learned that they were sold to Proctor + Gamble, I personally wanted to find a new brand to support. While I appreciate that more and more big brands are hopping on the Organic + Natural train, it seems so contradicting for me to support a parent brand that still actively produces toxic products. So, while I applaud P+G for buying these Organic brands, I do hope that they clean up their entire roster to prove they’re not just in this for the trend. With that being said, after I learned all of the above and was bummed I had to change vitamins, the more I researched about supplements, the more I realized how hard it was to produce a really quality one. Many smaller brands were not testing the products properly and so I was left wondering, will I ever find a brand I feel confident in supporting? Feeling frustrated, I emailed my go to girl, Food Babe to get her input on supplements and which she suggests. Sure enough, she also suggested MegaFood which made me feel even more confident with my choice to switch over to them. Read More
Organic Bunny Approved SPF by theorganicbunny on May 2, 2017April 11, 2019 Still using conventional sunscreens?

This Yerba Mate {SPF30} by 100% Pure is a must-have item you will find in my beach bag at all times as it applies effortlessly which is perfect for fussy husbands or kids all while being 100% Natural and free of all of the above toxic chemicals!

Project Juice Almond Milk + Get Up And Go Go by theorganicbunny on April 11, 2017April 18, 2017 Did you know that most store bought almond milk, even Organic brands, still comes with gums and fillers like carrageenan that come with a handful of risks like inflammations, bloating, various cancers and more? Because I like to avoid those ingredients, I always make my milk at home but at times like this, where I have no kitchen or time to make it, I love buying the Project Juice Almond Mylk, simply because it contains nothing but Raw Almonds, Dates, Vanilla + Sea Salt. No low-quality fillers which means I never feel bloated or puffy after consuming it. Read More
