I will have a web site soon that will combine all the different elements of #MyStory and I will finally get to start telling my story. My web site will be HopeMovesMountians.com and TonyaPeat.com so visit! I want it to be a central area for all the resources, inspiration and this blog.
 Right now I want to tell you about something I am calling my Beautycounter Passion.
When I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer I went thru so many tests and met with so many doctors and everything I read listed the risk factors for breast cancer. I had none. One thing I did know is that I had no idea what ingredients were in the make up and skin care products I had been using the past 15 years for the make up and even longer for the skin care products. After some research I found out that the make up including lip stick and lip gloss that I couldn't live with out had known cancer causing ingredients in it. It became my mission to switch my family and myself over to safe products. A friend sent me a care package of Beautycounter products and I instantly fell in love with the face oil. Oil for your face? That's right! It was the beginning of a transformation for me and my skin and it was SAFE! I started looking every product I could think of up on the Environmental Working Group web site and downloaded the app to my phone so I could scan products in the store. I became a rep for the Beautycounter line and started advocating for it every chance I got. I would love to introduce you to Beautycounter. It makes me feel so good every time a friend places an order because i know that is one less hazardous product they have in their house. Please check out the web site and soon there will be a one stop place for all things Tonya Peat. www.beautycounter.com/tonyapeat
 Let me know what your must haves are or things you want to try. xoxo

The Laundry won't fold it's self.

This is a continuation of my last post in that it talks about embracing your community. My first visit with my "Team" at UCLA was like running a marathon. We arrived at the hospital at 7 AM to see my surgical oncologist. I had researched her in advance and knew she was the Director of the Revlon Breast Center and she was a "world-renouned surgical oncologist"  words I made sure to use when telling my parents I had breast cancer hoping to ease their worry. I also met with my reconstructive surgeon who would turn out to be a great person and not just an amazing surgeon. I remember sitting in the room after he left thinking "He doesn't have to be my best friend, he just has to do a good job." The first visit with him I felt like a deer in the head lights and apparently my left headlight was a lot bigger than my right because he asked me "Has your left breast always been that much bigger than the left, or is the tumor?" Me: "Um... it's b

Embrace your community. Even Batman knew he needed the Justice League, you don't have to Move this Mountain on your own.

You look at photos of before the mountain was even there. 3 years ago today I had a beautiful 8 week old baby girl. She was our most wonderful surprise. We had to try for a long time with each of our older girls but this one was an amazing gift we weren't expecting. Our "Bonus Baby" as we started to call her. I look at this photo and I can feel the feelings I was having at this time. I was overwhelmed by suddenly being a #momofthree of course but in these moments when it was just me and her things were sweet and simple. Shortly after this is when the random pains begun in my left breast. I just thought it was an inflamed milk duct so I worked thru the little electric shocks I would get here and there. Being a 3rd time mom doesn't make you an expert by any means. It's different every time. The one thing that is different is that you have even less time to worry about yourself and some little pain that just comes and goes with no rhyme or reason. Eventually when t

They are working together this month to raise money for Stand Up 2 Cancer. I am so excited to be able to tell my story and add another experience to my story. I hope someone gets to see it and feel inspired because I really believe that Hope Moves Mountains. You can donate to SU2C by going to my www.CrowdRise.com/tonyapeat page.
