But, plastic is not the healthiest option for the objects we use regularly. Especially those connected to the kitchen. Have you ever stopped to think about how much plastic is…
It’s spring here in sunny South Carolina and for us, the growing season has begun. This is the time of year that local farmer’s markets begin opening around my town.

It got to the point that using toilet bowl cleaner actually made me feel ill. Being an empath who is very energy-sensitive strong chemical smells don’t work well for me! I didn’t want to keep feeling nauseated in my own home for hours after cleaning! So…
