About Me

I’m Leighton Sanders a pediatric nurse practitioner by training and a lifelong advocate for clean, inclusive nutrition. For years, I lived with the daily reality of severe food allergies, especially to peanuts and almonds.

That personal challenge became the spark behind my biggest professional leap: co-founding KUBEBA, a Colorado-based company dedicated to creating plant-based, allergy-friendly protein bars.

Alongside two incredible collaborators Amy Jones and Emily Foster, twin sisters with deep roots in wellness and plant-based cooking we built KUBEBA with one mission in mind: to make nutrient-rich, low-sugar, high-protein snacks that everyone could enjoy, no matter their dietary restrictions.

Our bars, including flavors like Salted Fudge, Blueberry Ginger, and Cinnamon Fig, are made in a facility free from the top eight allergens. Over the years, we’ve been proud to see our work recognized by publications like Forbes and Spokin, but what’s mattered most is the community we’ve built around safe, joyful eating.

In 2025, I shifted my focus to a new platform this blog. While KUBEBA continues to thrive, I felt called to broaden the conversation around personal wellness. Here, I now share honest, first-hand reviews of everyday products that touch our health, homes, and habits. From allergy-safe foods to skin care that respects sensitive systems, I explore what works (and what doesn’t) based on real experience.
