The "tween" years are a critical transition period in the life of a young girl. Girls this age are changing in profound ways. Loaded with fun activities and engaging content, Treasured will initiate meaningful conversation between moms and daughters during these critical preteen years.
ABOUT THE TREASURED STUDYWhether you lead a group of moms and daughters or complete this study one-on-one with your daughter, we equip you digitally with everything you need:
This 6-session faith-based study is designed to connect moms and daughters with engaging content around topics critical to the preteen years: Identity, Body, Emotions, Friendships, Technology, and Faith. It contains a flash drive of digital files that includes everything you need for a small group study with moms and daughters: teaching videos (DVD option included), discussion questions, leader guides, participant guides, and connection ideas and more. This can also be used as a one-on-one study with a mom and her daughter.
To be used on its own, or in conjunction with the Treasured Study, the Treasured Journal is designed to help girls think about the questions they are already asking, and creates opportunities to interact with their moms. There are 6 weeks of topics (the same topics as the study) with 5 days of things for her to think about, doodle, and do. There are things for moms to do, too. Go through it together, and you'll discover a deeper connection with each other, and in the process, she'll discover just how Treasured she is. When used alongside the study, it allows moms and daughters to take what they've learned in the study one step further.

The Thriving Beyond Belief podcast this week featuring:@tcofoley
Tara's Clean BeginningsI started my clean beauty journey over 10 years ago after realizing that my "healthy" lifestyle had a huge blind spot: I was exercising and eating clean, but I had no idea what I was putting on my body. That's when I discovered all the toxins hiding inside my beauty products. I started a blog to share information and received an inspiring response from so many women with the same concerns. We deserved answers—and products that worked without putting our health (or the planet) at risk.
Soon I left my corporate job and immersed myself in the world of clean beauty. I hunted down the best products, continued researching and writing about everything from ingredients to regulation, began building relationships with brands and activists, and even moved to France to work on an organic lavender farm. But clean beauty still felt like a secret, and I wanted to help share it. That's when I started dreaming up the idea of a store where I could educate and introduce people to the safest, most effective, and luxurious non-toxic products.
Follain opened in 2013 as the first of our kind: the first retailer to sell clean beauty exclusively. Years later, I'm no less amazed by the power of clean ingredients, and I love that I get to share them with you!
