Unfortunately, most personal care products out there are packed with harmful chemicals that can seriously impact your health. Now, some doctors and manufacturers might tell you that the amount of toxins in each product is too small to make a difference, but let's do the math: the average American woman uses 12 products a day, while guys use 6. That's a lot of chemicals, and over time, they can add up to some serious toxic overload and fuel disease.
So, why not give your body a break and switch to plant-based products that your body can easily process? My recommended bundles include skincare products for women and men. Watch for a future blog article/video on even more skincare recommendations. Trust us, your body will thank you!

Long ago, I abandoned paper napkins (except for parties and vacays) and switched to vintage cloth ones from antique stores. The result? I saved the planet from a lot of paper waste that we were generating and I felt like a hero.

My inner alarm went off, and I set out to test every eco-friendly brand out there. Finally, I discovered Cloud Paper – the only brand that's soft, tree-free, carbon-neutral, and septic friendly.
