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.
