When you’re first starting to dive into living a healthier lifestyle, the amount of information surrounding “wellness” can be straight up overwhelming.
It seems like we’re constantly being told to ‘eat this’ & to ‘give up that’.

Just a “fun fact”. The European Union bans something close to 1,300 chemicals in beauty products. Want to know how many the United States bans? 11.
