Spoiler alert: this post is full of links that will make you think and rethink and determine things about the products you use every day. I would highly recommend listening to/reading these links (um, duh, that’s why they’re on the list – ha!) because you guys? I actually care. I care that you know every ingredient that goes onto your body. I care because your health matters. I care because the health of the people YOU care for matters. And I say it all the time – if all you did was read the research about how grossly unregulated and unreliable the personal care products industry is and then just use coconut oil for everything? Well, then more power to you! The reality is that this needs to change. And it starts with knowing the things that 80% of us just don’t know.
All to say this: please please please be your own advocate. You deserve better.
So this weekend! My parents are in town so we are obviously going to be having a great time, but even cooler? IT’S OUR 11 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! I can’t wait to go on a date with my man and just enjoy some much-needed time together. He’s such a hunk and basically the coolest person on the planet. I’m a lucky, lucky gal!
I hope you guys enjoy your weekend with the ones you love, and enjoy these lovely links while you’re at it!
