Honestly Margo Instilling Confidence in Women of All Ages This Holiday Season
With self-esteem beginning to plummet in the tween years for girls and then often never returning to baseline, there is no greater holiday gift than one that builds confidence in teens and that restores it in Millennials and women of all ages. Built on the platform of embracing individual uniqueness, the Honestly Margo line of bath and beauty products helps females feel good about themselves no matter their stage of life. And because all items falling under the brand’s umbrella are inspired by nature with nothing but goodness in them, gift givers can feel good about their Honestly Margo purchase as well.
According to the April 2018 “Time” magazine article “How to Help Young Girls Keep Their Confidence During Puberty”,“Boys and girls run neck and neck, confidence-wise, up to then (the age of puberty), but when the estrogen-testosterone waves start flooding kids’ brains, all that changes. For girls, confidence takes a huge hit.” In fact, “between the ages of 8–14, girls’ confidence levels drop by 30 percent.” To make matters worse, “the effects are long lasting. For most women, once opened, this confidence gap fails to close.” That means many Millennials, Gen Yers and Gen Xers are still suffering the consequences. The solution according to the article’s authors? “Risk more, think less, be yourself.”
Margo, the inspiration and titular founder behind Honestly Margo, personifies all these confidence-boosting actions. In 2013, when she was just 12 years old, Margo took a risk. Thinking less about what the world might think of her and instead focusing her full attention on her passion for beauty (i.e., being herself), she came up with an all-natural lip balm with only four ingredients. And thus, Honestly Margo was born.
Since then, the company has expanded into a full-spectrum bath and body brand, yet the focus has remained the same since day one. The company always uses the finest, safest ingredients in each and every one of its products. The Unicorn line from Honestly Margo was designed with younger girls, tweens and teens in mind. Playful and colorful, it includes bath dust, body lotion and hand/body scrub. The body lotions also come in more mature, woman-friendly scents. Each one is labeled with its own female name to highlight its individuality. Joining the body lotion in matching scents is a line of bubble fizz bath powders. When sprinkled into the tub, they fizz, bubble and shimmer.
The brand is about pure goodness with good for you ingredients, like the recently launched Roller Girl Roll-On Lipgloss collection of crystal clear lip glosses with natural flavors including: DESTINY Bubblegum, AMBER Strawberry, ALEXIS Watermelon, JAZMIN Grape, CHERRY Cherry, and CRYSTAL Vanilla. MSRP $12.00 for 4 oz.
“Honestly Margo stands for a strong women sisterhood,” explains Margo’s mom and brand co-developer, Irene. “We believe that the most effective way to instill female confidence is for women to build other women up. Honestly Margo is all about celebrating women’s ability to be empowered, to have confidence in themselves, to dream big, to take chances and to know that anything is possible.” No price tag can be placed on a holiday gift that encourages so much of today’s and tomorrow’s women.
Holiday gift givers who want to instill greater self-esteem in the women on their shopping list can learn more about the Honestly Margo female empowerment philosophy and discover all the bath and body products in the line at https://honestlymargo.com.

These simple ideas have totally upped my cooking game and I’m actually excited to get in the kitchen again…..seriously!!
Summer is ready to end and we are welcoming the early Autumn! what better way to celebrate than with brand new, delicious AvocadoMayonnaise from Better Body Foods.
Avocado mania is real! For health, for taste, for their versatility…. avocados are all the rage. What if I told you that you can get a mayonnaise made with 100% avocado oil instead of cheap and genetically modified soybean or canola oils?!? I don’t know about you, but I would run to buy it. Mayo gets such a bad rap, but now this guilty pleasure on your turkey sandwich is guiltless! We can now celebrate MayoYAYse!
Introducing Avocado Mayonnaise from BetterBody Foods. The brand you trust with your healthy peanut butter powder, PBfit, your favorite Organic Superfood blend and much, much more. BetterBody Foods makes eating healthy, easy and delicious!
Why choose Avocado Mayonnaise from BetterBody Foods?
It offers:
· Cage Free Eggs

· Doesn’t contain soybean or canola oils

BetterBodyFoods Chipotle & Lime Avocado Mayonnaise – When I heard about avocado mayonnaise, I was so intrigued. There was regular Avocado Mayo, but I had to try the Chipotle Lime flavor. What is it about orange sauces that are so delectable? I made an assortment of sandwiches on yummy baguettes and slathered on the Chipotle Mayo.
To die for!! I also whipped up some egg salad with it and almost lost my mind. I could eat that every day. And, I might. It is actually so much better for you than regular mayo since it is made with avocado oil instead of the other fake, gross stuff!!
Sometimes, we are just desiring to find some sweets in the kitchen and of course it is always smart to have some prepared!
Dave’s Sweet Tooth –Real butter, real sugar, real milk chocolate, and hand sliced almonds prepared with love, one batch at a time, every time. And, naturally gluten free! With no artificial flavors, no preservatives and Kosher certified! Made the old fashioned way, creating handmade toffee without the use of machines, microwaves, or assembly lines. Using the very best ingredients remains a priority and a promise.
When Dave Chmielewski started making toffee in his home kitchen, he never thought it would be where it is today. Dave, a retired Detroit Fire Fighter, had always loved to cook and bake. When he started making his infamous almond toffee however, the response was unlike anything he had seen before. People soon started calling the house and demanding that he make them some of this delicious treat. With a few homemade labels and some Ball mason jars, Dave began to sell his confectionary creation. What had started as a hobby quickly became more like a full-time job.
Dave’s son, Andrew, had always loved his dad’s cooking, and when he saw the demand that his father’s toffee was creating, he knew that there was something there. In early 2011, inspired by his father’s recipe and eager to put his passion for business to work, Andrew decided to create a business that would allow people across the country to taste the decadent treat…not to mention, free up space in his mother’s kitchen.
Dave’s Sweet Tooth was born. People started spreading the word, and soon, Dave’s Sweet Tooth was popping up in homes and businesses across the country, and even garnered national notoriety with an appearance on The Today Show and Good Morning America. The response was unanimous–people couldn’t get enough! And they still can’t. We sure hope to keep it that way. Sticking to the tradition of creating handmade toffee in our home state of Michigan remains a priority, and using the very best ingredients remains a promise.
Dave’s Sweet Tooth keeps it simple. Fancy is too complicated. Real butter, real sugar, real milk chocolate, and hand sliced almonds prepared with love, one batch at a time, every time. Consistency is the key to our recipe. Dave’s Sweet Tooth doesn’t stockpile its ingredients. Dave’s Sweet Tooth purchases them according to order size to ensure freshness and maintain taste integrity.
Dave’s Sweet Tooth has never had an unsatisfied customer, and they refuse to skip the small steps in order to keep it that way. Maybe a bit old fashioned, but they do not use machines, microwaves, or assembly lines to produce their toffee. Dave’s Sweet Tooth is and always will be; Hand Made. Homemade. Michigan Made.
