Wellness with Becci

Can you feel it? The days are getting longer, the air is getting a little warmer, and if you listen closely, you can almost hear the waves crashing. Summer is just around the corner, and I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for it.

As a busy CEO and a mom, summer usually means a chaotic (but fun!) juggle of beach days, pool parties, and outdoor meetings. But over the years, I’ve learned that a “perfect” summer day can quickly be ruined by two things: a nasty sunburn and the realization that I’ve just slathered my family in a cocktail of harsh chemicals.

We’ve all been there, standing in the drugstore aisle, staring at a wall of bright orange bottles, trying to figure out which one won’t make our skin break out or sting our kids’ eyes. It’s stressful, it’s expensive, and honestly, we deserve better.

That’s where my “secret weapon” comes in. I want to share how I’ve simplified my summer prep using our luxury wellness club. It’s the ultimate hack for busy women who want high-end, plant-based, and non-toxic products without the luxury price tag.

The Mineral Difference: Why I’m Obsessed with Sun Shades

If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’m a stickler for what goes on our skin. Our skin is our largest organ, and it absorbs so much of what we put on it. Traditional sunscreens are often packed with chemical filters like oxybenzone or avobenzone. While they “work” to block the sun, they can also disrupt hormones and cause skin irritation. No thanks!

In my beach bag, you will always find Sun Shades. This isn’t your typical thick, chalky mineral sunscreen. It’s a high-performance, mineral-based formula that uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to create a physical barrier against the sun.

Why it’s a game-changer for moms:

• No Sting: You know that scream when sunscreen gets in a toddler’s eyes? Yeah, we don’t do that here.
• Plant-Based Goodness: It’s infused with botanical ingredients that actually nourish the skin while protecting it.
• Budget-Friendly Luxury: Because we get this through our wellness club, I’m paying a fraction of what I’d spend on a “prestige” brand at a department store.

Whether you’re chasing kids at the splash pad or sitting through a poolside business lunch, Sun Shades gives you that peace of mind that you’re protected without the “toxic” trade-off.

The Sei Bella Glow: Luxury Beauty That Survives the Heat

Just because it’s 90 degrees out doesn’t mean we don’t want to look polished. For my fellow businesswomen, summer often means transitioning from a hot commute to an air-conditioned office or a client dinner.

The Sei Bella line is my absolute go-to for this. It’s luxury beauty that feels high-end but is formulated with clean, safe ingredients. In the summer, I keep things simple. I’m talking about “no-makeup” makeup that enhances your natural glow.

My Summer Beauty Essentials:

1. Tinted Moisturizer with SPF: It evens out my skin tone and adds an extra layer of protection.
2. Hydrating Lip Oil: Saltwater and sun can leave your lips feeling like sandpaper. The Sei Bella lip oils are a lifesaver: they add a hint of shine without the stickiness.
3. Water-Resistant Mascara: Because no one wants raccoon eyes after a dip in the ocean.

The best part? These products are designed to be effective. I don’t have time for a 20-step routine. I need products that work as hard as I do, and the Sei Bella line delivers every single time.

Inside the Beach Bag: What Else Is Tucked in There?

Beyond the sun care and beauty, a well-packed beach bag is all about efficiency. When you’re a busy mom, you’re the “Chief Everything Officer” of the family outing. Here’s what my curated, non-toxic beach bag looks like:

• Quick-Dry Turkish Towels: They take up half the space of regular towels and dry in a flash.
• Stainless Steel Water Bottles: Staying hydrated is non-negotiable. I fill ours with ice and filtered water to avoid buying plastic bottles at the boardwalk.
• Non-Toxic Hand Sanitizer: Before we dive into the snacks, I use our club’s plant-based sanitizer. It doesn’t smell like a chemistry lab and won’t dry out your hands.
• Plant-Based Snacks: I love packing nuts, fruit, and some of the protein bars from our wellness line to keep everyone’s energy up without a sugar crash.

Why the “Club” is the Secret to a Stress-Free Summer

I get asked all the time: “Rebecca, how do you find the time to source all these clean products?”

The truth is, I don’t! I use our luxury wellness club. Think of it like a high-end shopping club, but instead of buying in bulk or settling for whatever is on the shelf, you’re getting direct access to premium, plant-based products delivered to your door.

For a busy mom or a businesswoman, this is a total lifesaver. I don’t have to spend hours reading labels or researching ingredients because the club has already done the heavy lifting. They prioritize safety, environmental responsibility, and quality.

And let’s talk about the budget. “Luxury” and “non-toxic” usually mean “expensive.” But because this club cuts out the middleman and doesn’t spend millions on traditional advertising, we get those high-end formulas at wholesale prices. It’s how I manage to keep my home toxic-free without breaking the bank.

Switching to a Safer Summer

Making the switch to a non-toxic lifestyle doesn’t have to happen overnight. It can start with just one beach bag. When you swap out that chemical-heavy spray for a mineral-based cream, or trade your drugstore lip balm for a botanical-rich oil, you’re making a choice for your health and the health of your family.

Summer is meant for making memories, not worrying about what’s in your sunscreen. By joining a community that values wellness and quality, you’re reclaiming your time and your peace of mind.

Final Thoughts for the Busy Woman

Whether you’re prepping for a week-long vacation or just a Saturday at the local park, remember that you deserve products that work for you, not against you. You shouldn’t have to choose between “effective” and “safe.”

This summer, let’s ditch the chemicals, embrace the glow, and enjoy the sun with confidence. My beach bag is packed and ready: is yours?

Let’s make this the best (and safest) summer yet!

Stay sun-kissed and safe,
