WHY DESTROY

SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL

SO INSPIRING

SO AMAZING

IF THIS THING
ONLY GIVE US BACK

EVEN IF WE DON'T?

Flowers & Plants Can Be More Than Just Pretty.

Did you know some flowers and plants can give us better indoor quality, reducing toxins? I didn’t. 

The first time I read about it was on The @Honest Company Blog, and a few weeks later also

read about it on the book Healthy Child Healthy World by the author Christopher Gavigan, also one of the Founders of the Company. 

If you are curious to know more about the book, you can access the link bellow:

It’s really nice when you know your favorite flower can not only just give your house a better look, but also a better indoor quality.

Happy Weekend!

Win Win Situation!

It’s been one year since I stopped eating meat. And with that and the many facts I already wrote here about, I also discovered the joy of cooking. 

It’s really fun and feels really great to eat something you know how was made.

I’m not an expert in the kitchen, but I can feed myself and my family sometimes. lol

My mom always made sure to cook us vegetables. And only now I realize how much I’ve learned by only watching her.  

 

Happy Wednesday!
