320: Focus Friday – Minimize Your Chemical Exposure

We live in a world that is full of toxic chemicals… inside and outside the home.

We’re here to help you make better choices, decreasing your chemical exposure and the toxins in your body. We address chemical sensitivities, natural beauty products, greenwashing, non-toxic bedding & furniture, purifying the air in your home, and so much more!

All this being said, we don’t want you to stress. Continue to learn, evolve, and do the best you can.
