Organic Holiday Season's Gifts

Hello Fellow Followers,


The Holiday Season is going to be here soon so I wanted to share some ideas to stay organic and healthy... Those are 2 websites I chose, but there are of course a bunch of information out there for you to pick from... and I'm soooo glad about that.


Enjoy!

Some info from the above websites: 


The vast majority of conventional products we buy, use and wear every day are manufactured in an unsustainable way. And, as it turns out, what is bad for the Planet is bad for us, too. We are exposing ourselves and our children to harmful Synthetic Chemicals in everything from cleaning products and personal care products to the chemicals used in manufacturing things like clothing, Bedding, Furniture, work bags, children's Toys and lunch boxes. There is, however, an eco-friendly alternative for just about everything!


Organic farming builds the health of soils, ecosystems, animals and people, producing foods higher in essential nutrients. It minimizes dietary and environmental exposure to toxic synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).


Fair Trade aims to help producers in developing countries receive fair wages and move toward economic self sufficiency and stability, while also promoting socially and environmentally responsible practices to enhance quality of life.


Eco-friendly is a growing understanding that producing goods and services with minimal impact on the environment is good for you, good for your community, and good for the planet.

Being back....!

Being back... You are all going to agree with me, there is no better place than the one that makes you feel fulfilled...  Well, I can say that having collaborating a while with Christine Lewicki - a great author, mother, mentor - has truly changed my professional and personal lives. Indeed, today I feel I am doing what I am supposed to do, what I was meant to do. And this is what I called being fulfilled. I am not saying I have achieved the success I am dreaming of but I can say I am on the path to achieving success just because I enjoy my life in all ways. Thank you Christine for the beautiful work you do with people. You are truly talented in finding each of our uniqueness and pushing us forward.

Anybody that has a composting bin or compost pile at their house knows that old apple cores, banana peels and potato skins can be composted.
