About Tori – Everyday Wholesome Nails
WHO I AM
Hi! I’m Tori — a military wife, mom of three, Catholic convert, and lifelong learner. I’m a minimalist-ish mama who loves books, photography, and natural living. My journey toward simple, toxin-free wellness started years ago and continues to shape everything I share here.
I’m also an essential oil user, clean-ingredient advocate, and health researcher who believes beauty starts with what you allow in your home and on your skin.
WHY I STARTED THIS BLOG
Everyday Wholesome Beauty grew out of my original lifestyle site, Everyday Wholesome. Over time, I needed a space focused entirely on natural beauty and wellness—where I could write about skincare, hair, nails, and honest product reviews without mixing them in with everything else.
I buy and test everything myself—no freebies or sponsorships—so my reviews come from real experience (and yes, my husband sees all those Amazon boxes!).
