Is your home water healthy or toxic?/ El agua de tu casa es saludable o tóxica?

(Español más abajo)

“Did you take your 8 glasses of water today?” Yes, I’ve heard that question too! But did you know that NOT all water is good for you and our planet? Tap water in the US is filled with chemicals that are detrimental to our health, our pets and our plants! Toxic chemicals such as chlorine, arsenic, pesticides, chromium, radium, fluoride among others. Toxins also known as carcinogens and hormone disruptors linked to:

-birth defects

-brain damage

-fertility problems

-thyroid disease

-tumor growth

Water is life. We know that already. But the water you are drinking from the tap, washing your teeth with, making your coffee with, giving to your dogs, giving to your plants and showering with (our skin absorbs EVERYTHING!) could be doing more harm than good. A good resource to use to read about the chemicals in your zipcode’s water is EWG’s website.

I checked mine and realized that Miami ranks #3 in harmful chemicals in our water researched to cause the following:

-arsenic: cancer -

chromium: cancer

-radium: cancer

-fluoride: bone deformities and cancer

Since I ditched plastic bottles 5 years ago, I’ve had water filtering pitchers to refill my reusable bottle and also a filter for the shower, but water goes beyond our drinking habits!

What about the tap water we use to wash dishes or boil pasta or make our morning coffee or wash our faces and teeth with?

What about the water we give to our pets straight from the tap?

Now, on the positive note, there are solutions to this and they all revolve around filters! There are different kinds for all lifestyles and budgets.

1) Easiest and more affordable:

Get a water filtering pitcher. Here are options I’ve used and loved:

Soma Water: plantbased filters and gives clean water to communities in need.

Berkley: Bigger tank, plantbased filter.

Get a filter for your shower. Your skin is your biggest organ! It absorbs everything you put in it, hence, if your tap water has carcinogens, your skin is drinking those.

Aqua Earth Shower Filter

2) Full-on transformation:

If you are as crazy as I am about water quality, this might be for you. I don’t drink sodas, hence, water is my primary source of hydration. I drink around 3-4 liters of water per day, have a boyfriend, two dogs and 36+ plants in our home. For that reason, I decided to install a filter for our ENTIRE home! One made of organic and bio-ceramic materials: Allini. Their system does not only filter chemicals such as Chlorine, pesticides, bacteria, carcinogens and fluoride in the water but it also alkanizes it in a natural way. Now, we can drink from the tap, cook with tap water, stick our tongues out in the shower, and even check how much water we have used/saved with their system! (Yes, the team will install a small tank in your home with a meter that shows your water usage!)

I love this system so much, I asked them for a discount code for you guys: “waterthruskin”. And nope, this is not a sponsored post. Just my boyfriend, furry children, plants and I loving the energy of our water at home so much I wanted to share it with you!

PS: plastic water bottles are not a solution, tribe! It’s 2020 and time for us to be BETTER!

"¿Tomaste tus 8 vasos de agua hoy?" Sí, yo también he escuchado esa pregunta a diario! ¿Pero sabías que NO toda agua es buena para ti y para nuestro planeta? ¡El agua del grifo en los EE. UU. está llena de productos químicos que son perjudiciales para nuestra salud, nuestras mascotas y nuestras plantas! Productos químicos muy tóxicos como cloro, arsénico, pesticidas, cromo, radio, fluoruro, entre otros. Toxinas también conocidas como carcinógenos y disruptores hormonales relacionados con:

-defectos de nacimiento

-daño cerebral

-problemas de fertilidad -

tiroides

-crecimiento de tumores

El agua es vida. Eso ya lo sabemos. Pero el agua que estás bebiendo del grifo, o usas para lavarte los dientes, preparar el café, alimentar a tus perros, cuidar a tus plantas y ducharte (¡nuestra piel absorbe TODO!) podría estar haciendo más daño que bien. Un buen recurso para leer sobre los químicos en el agua en tu código postal es el sitio web de EWG.

Verifiqué el mío y me di cuenta de que Miami ocupa el tercer lugar en químicos tóxicos en nuestra agua que han demostrado causar lo siguiente:

-arsénico: cáncer

-cromo: cáncer

-radio: cáncer

-fluoruro: deformidades óseas y cáncer

Desde que abandoné las botellas de plástico hace 5 años, he tenido jarras de filtración de agua para rellenar mi botella reutilizable y también un filtro para la ducha, pero el agua va más allá de estos hábitos diarios! ¿Qué pasa con el agua del grifo que usamos para lavar platos o hervir la pasta o hacer nuestro café de la mañana o lavarnos la cara y los dientes?

¿Qué pasa con el agua que le damos a nuestras mascotas directamente del grifo? Ahora, en lo positivo, hay soluciones para esto y todas giran en torno a los filtros! Hay diferentes tipos para todos los estilos de vida y presupuestos.

1) Más fácil y más económico:

Consigue una jarra de agua con filtro. Aquí hay opciones que he usado y amado:

Soma Water: filtros hechos a base de plantas y la compañia dona agua potable a comunidades en necesidad.

Berkley: Tanque más grande. Filtros naturales.

Consigue un filtro para tu ducha. ¡Tu piel es tu órgano más grande! Absorbe todo lo que pones sobre ella, por lo tanto, si tu agua del grifo tiene carcinógenos, tu piel los está bebiendo.

Aqua Earth Filtro Ducha

2) Transformación completa:

Si estás tan loco/a como yo por la calidad del agua, esto podría ser para ti. No bebo gaseosas, por lo tanto, el agua es mi principal fuente de hidratación. Tomo alrededor de 3-4 litros de agua por día, tengo dos perros, novio y más de 36 plantas en nuestra casa. Por esa razón, decidimos instalar un filtro para TODA nuestra casa! Uno hecho de materiales orgánicos y cerámicos: Allini. Su sistema no solo filtra químicos como cloro, pesticidas, bacterias, carcinógenos y flúor en el agua, sino que también la alcaliniza de forma natural. Ahora, podemos beber del grifo, cocinar con agua del grifo, sacar la lengua en la ducha, e incluso comprobar cuánta agua hemos usado/ahorrado con su sistema! (Sí, ¡el equipo instalará un tanque pequeño en tu hogar con un medidor que muestra tu consumo de agua!) Amo tanto a este sistema que les pedí un código de descuento para ustedes: "Waterthruskin". Y no, esta no es una publicación patrocinada. ¡Solo mi novio, mis hijos peludos, las plantas y yo amando tanto la energía de nuestra agua en casa que quería compartirla con ustedes!

PD: ¡No, las botellas de agua de plástico no son una solución, tribu! ¡Es el 2020 y hora de que seamos humanos más conscientes!

IKEA does it again. Social Entrepreneurship at its strongest!

I am a Brand Ambassadör for IKEA U.S. This is a sponsored post.

Last month I wrote a blog post about IKEA raising the bar with their sustainability practices, and received such a positive reaction from you guys, I've decided to partner with IKEA again and share more eye-opening and uplifting information like their Social Entrepreneurship Initiative. "Innehallsrik". Have you heard of it? Perfect topic- after celebrating two important days this quarter- for any person that cares about our planet: Earth Day & Fashion Revolution Day. Earth Day serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect nature, and Fashion Revolution of the importance of giving artisans humane working conditions, fair opportunities, ethical wages and a chance to grow. IKEA, with its Innehallsrik Initiative, covers both! This initiative is a collaboration between IKEA and women in India with the goal of providing them with a platform and the right tools needed to showcase and sell their handmade textiles and baskets to the world. This collaboration is not only providing jobs to these women, but also giving them hopes of a brighter future and economic empowerment. IKEA has been supporting social entrepreneurs and enterprises since 2013 and contributes to the livelihoods of more than 10,500 people through these partnerships! (I know. I had no idea either! IKEA is one of those big companies that has left me speechless and even more inspired!) Lastly, each product sold under this initiative is not only beautifully handmade with natural materials such as banana fibers, but also shares the story and face of women in India who have the talent and vision of entrepreneurs.

I hope you guys enjoy this line as much as I do! I've decorated my 600sf studio in an eco-friendly and fair-trade way. From reclaimed wood palettes and wine crates I collected from different stores to pillows, a jute carpet, banana fiber baskets and a handmade throw from IKEA. Living consciously and sustainably is possible, and getting more convenient and affordable every day!

Soy un embajadora para IKEA U.S. Esta es una publicación patrocinada.

El mes pasado escribí una publicación en mi blog sobre IKEA y sus prácticas de sostenibilidad, y recibí una reacción tan positiva de ustedes, que he decidido volver a asociarme con IKEA y compartir información reveladora y inspiradora como su Iniciativa de emprendimiento social, "Innehallsrik". ¿Han oido de esto? El tema perfecto, después de celebrar dos días importantes este trimestre, para cualquier persona que se preocupe por nuestro planeta: Día de la Tierra y Día de la Revolución de la Moda (Fashion Revolution). El "Día de la Tierra" sirve como un recordatorio de nuestra responsabilidad de proteger la naturaleza, y "Fashion Revolution" de la importancia de brindar a los artesanos condiciones de trabajo humanas, oportunidades equitativas, salarios éticos y la oportunidad de crecer. IKEA, con su iniciativa Innehallsrik , cubre ambos! Esta iniciativa es una colaboración entre IKEA y las mujeres en India con el objetivo de proporcionarles una plataforma y las herramientas adecuadas para exhibir y vender sus textiles y cestas hechas a mano al mundo. Esta colaboración no solo les da trabajo a estas mujeres, sino que también les da esperanzas de un futuro brillante y empoderamiento económico. IKEA ha estado apoyando a emprendedores y empresas sociales desde 2013 y contribuye a los medios de subsistencia de más de 10.500 personas a través de estas asociaciones! (Lo sé! Yo tampoco tenía ni idea! IKEA es una de esas grandes compañías que me ha dejado sin palabras y aún más inspirada!) Por último, cada producto bajo esta iniciativa no solo está hecho a mano con materiales naturales como fibras de plátano, sino también comparte la historia y la cara de las mujeres en India que tienen el talento y la visión de los emprendedores.

Espero que ustedes disfruten esta línea tanto como yo! He decorado mi estudio de 600sf de una manera ecológica y justa. Desde las paletas de madera recuperadas y cajas de vino que recogí de diferentes tiendas, hasta las almohadas, una alfombra de yute, y cestas de fibra de plátano hechos a mano por IKEA. Vivir de forma consciente y sostenible es posible y cada vez más conveniente!

Bedsheets that don't harm our planet? Yes, please!

(SPANISH BELOW. Para Español, deslicen hacia bajo)

I promised you guys another post focused on sustainable and ethical home decor, so here goes! As most of you already know, I decorated my 600sf studio in an eco-friendly and fair-trade way. Reusing old wood pallets I got from Home Depot, old wine crates from Total Wines, non-toxic paint by Colorhouse, a fair-trade and sustainable carpet and table from IKEA, and now my new organic cotton bedsheets by AlterraPure. I've talked about planet-friendly bedsheets before, but here's what makes AlterraPure stand out when compared to other brands.

1) TRANSPARENCY. All the way through! They are certified by GOTS, and go to extra lengths to verify that every farm, product and material used is sustainable, organic and fair-trade. You can read all about it on their website. Every single detail and process!

2) The GOTS certification is extremely important when it comes to organic cotton because GOTS only certifies brands and products that are biodegradable and free of chemicals that are harmful to our planet and humans.

3) AlterraPure also reuses 90-95% of water. 

4) AlterraPure has social projects to benefit the villages they work with in India. 

5) The box the sheets come in is made from cotton scraps and recycled paper! It is so pretty you will want to reuse it!

6) The details! From the buttons they use, to the stitches, AlterraPure pays attention to every little step in the process of making their bedsheets and duvet covers. Handmade, simple, sustainable, ethical and beautiful!

What does all this mean exactly? Well, plain simple (as it should always be!) Less waste for our planet, less chemicals thrown in our waters, less water used, less artisans paid unfairly, less non-biodegrable textiles sent to our landfills, less harmful toxins absorbed by your skin, less CO2 emissions produced. Amazing what our shopping choices can do, right? That's the power we have as consumers. Choose wisely. Always!

Este es el primer articulo que hago en español en mi blog, y espero que el primero de muchos! Hoy quiero hablarles sobre mi casita ecológica. Decoré estos 600sf en una manera ética y ecológica reusando cajas de madera y pallets de Home Depot y Total Wines, y colaborando con marcas como IKEA (si, IKEA es sostenible y fair-trade!) y ahora AlterraPure para mis sábanas! Ya he hablado sobre sábanas ecológicas antes, pero aquí les dejo unas cuantas razones que hacen que Alterra se destaque en comparación a otras marcas.

1)   Transparencia. Aparate de utilizar algodón orgánico certificado por GOTS, Alterra es transparente con todo el proceso detrás de sus productos. Pueden leer sobre cada paso en su página web.

2)   La certificación por GOTS es muy importante cuando se trata de algodón orgánico. GOTS solo certifica a marcas y productos que son biodegradables y libres de químicos que son tóxicos para nuestro planeta y para nosotros.

3)   Alterra re-utiliza 90-95% de agua.

4)   Alterra tiene proyectos sociales en las comunidades con las cuales trabaja en India.

5)   La caja de las sábanas es hecha de sobras de algodón y papel reciclado. Es hermosa y pueden utilizarla para guardar cosas personales.

6)   Los detalles! Desde los botones hasta la costura; Alterra le pone mucha atención a cada detalle y proceso. Todo es hecho a mano, sostenible y ético.

Que significa todo esto? Simple (como debería ser!). Al elegir marcas como Alterra estamos disminuyendo el uso de agua, la creación de basura, los químicos que son arrojados a ríos y al mar, el abuso de artesanos, las toxinas que absorbe nuestra piel, y más emisiónes de CO2. Disminuimos todo esto con nuestras acciones como consumidor! Tremendo el poder que tenemos, no? Todo empieza con nuestras decisiones diarias. Elijan conscientemente. Cada día!

More Earth-Friendly Home Decor Tips!

(I am a Brand Ambassadör for IKEA U.S. This is a sponsored post.)

If you've been following my journey for the past two years, you know how much I believe in sustainable home décor. If you haven't, I'll summarize the story in one sentence: "my home's décor thrives on green. Everywhere!" Yes, I decorated my 600sf studio in an earth-friendly way from corner to corner. From the nontoxic wall paint to the LED lights around my paddleboard, to the table made of reclaimed wood, the fair-trade and handmade carpet, and even the bioplastic food storage bags I use. Do you know what's even more exciting and surprising than all the sustainable products I just mentioned? IKEA making a conscious lifestyle easier and accessible with their Evergreen initiative! In case you didn't know, IKEA is one of those big and powerful companies that realized the importance of incorporating sustainability and ethics deep within its roots years ago. They started by using less cardboard and paper in their shipping practices, and have grown to be one of the few companies running their stores on solar and wind energy with over 730,000 solar panels and 327 wind turbines worldwide. Are you surprised already? Well, there's more! Besides having stores that use LED lights solely, IKEA has also established strict product criteria when it comes to sustainability with furniture being made from bamboo and recycled wood, fabrics being created with sustainably-grown cotton, flax being used as a material for linen, and bioplastic made from sugarcane (no petroleum) being used to create their food plastic bags. Top that with water faucets designed to reduce your water use, a wide variety of LED lights, and fair-trade practices implemented to empower their artisans and employees, and we have everything we need to start 2018 with the right conscious foot. All in one store!

I'm so proud of this company and its practices that I've partnered with them to provide you guys with all the content and information you need to decorate your home in a planet-friendly way! Below are a few products, and I can't wait to share more throughout the next few months!

Cheers to living and shopping wisely!

To read more about IKEA's sustainably harvested (FSC-certified) wood, and their partnership with WWF, read this article and this one. 

Weaved Jute Carpet: eco-friendly, made with natural fibers and fair-trade! 

Coffee Table: I used this as a bench and decorated it with book, candles and plants. It is made with natural materials, eco-friendly and fair-trade. 

LED lights: I have these in my balcony. Energy-efficient. 

Bioplastic ziplock bags: Made from plastic which contains at least 85% renewable content (sugarcane rather than petroleum). The material can be recycled together with common plastic.

WaterThruSkin Sustainable Home Design

This is a post I’m very excited to share with you. Not only because I finally have my own place after being a homeless nomad for almost a year, but also because I’ve decorated it in the most sustainable and ethical way I could…at a really low budget! Please do have in mind that there are some eco-friendly home items that are either extremely difficult to find, or mind-blowingly expensive. Hence, on those cases, I chose products from companies that have very transparent and philanthropic values. (Don't forget that it’s all about the balance and baby steps!) With that being said, let’s jump straight into the topic because this post might be a long one!

As you may already know, I am a full-time conscious lifestyle and travel blogger, which means that I travel almost every month to review different hotels and brands for my blog. For that reason, and because I’ve finally discovered the powerful value of simplicity, I chose to turn a studio into my new home. And, in this 630sf space, I managed to create different environments: a boho living room, a wanderluster bedroom, a relaxing reading station, a yogi corner, a mandala breakfast area, a welcoming hallway, a balcony with a tiny orchard, and my bathroom and closet.

BEDROOM: 

This area is one of the most important ones in your home. This is where you’ll get to rest and recharge and dream about all the things you want to achieve in life, so make sure you design it in a way that collides with your personality. Since I love to travel, I glued an entire worldmap on my wall (8.3ft wide x 12ft tall) and used pins to mark the places I’ve visited since I started WaterThruSkin 3 years ago. After doing some research and lots of brand comparisons, I chose to purchase the map from Gilt because it came with eco-friendly and non-toxic glue while the other brands didn’t. The map came with 8 different pieces and it took me about 5 hours to measure, glue, and cover the entire wall with the map. It’s not an easy task but very much worth it.

WTS tips: I first laid the map on the floor to make sure I was placing the countries correctly (you can never be too sure!). I then pinned them to the wall, got the glue ready, and added glue to the borders of the map only. Be careful with the bubbles. They were really hard for me to avoid! I also used Onyx & Green’s natural stick glue for some tricky places.

Lastly, I placed LED lights around the map. They are energy efficient and can light up an entire room, thus, I chose to use LED instead of a night lamp. Plus, it looks cooler too! You can get them on Amazon for $9-$12. They come in strips with a tape on the back, and are super easy to stick to the wall. I used two strips/rolls. Don't forget to buy the power source too. ($9)

Bed pillows and bedsheets: can you say BAMBOO? Yes! I have bamboo bedsheets, a bamboo comforter, and pillows made of bamboo and other natural materials! They are not only beautiful, sustainable and hypoallergenic, but also incredibly comfortable! The brands I recommend are these:

-Pillows: Essence of Bamboo, and Savvy are two sustainable pillow brands. 

-Bedsheets: Cozy Earth has some 100% eco options, but you can also get them at Overstock. Cheaper prices.

-Comforter: Cozy Earth, or you can get it at Joss&Main for more affordable options. 

-Mattress: Here's a really good article I found about he best sustainable mattresses. It all depends on your budget and vision. 

Instead of using a bed base, I decided to make one myself with recycled wood crates I purchased at a wine store. Besides being planet-friendly, they were half the price of the ones people normally get at Arts & Crafts stores. I purchased eight crates for $4.99 each at Total Wine & More, placed them next to my mattress in a line that surrounded the bed, and filled them with books, succulents, crystals and more. (Note: you will have to go to the store to purchase the crates. I don't think they sell them online)

READING STATION:

 I’ve dreamed about having a hanging chair at home for years but never found one that was affordable and ethical enough to purchase, until this one came along! I bought it from Jet after going over their company’s values on Jet's website. They revolve around transparency, ethics, and giving back. They’ve even set up a charity to provide the living essentials to families in need, and match every dollar we donate to this cause. The chair (with the stand, cushion and shipping cost) was $289. I added two handmade bohemian pillows I purchased at Anthropology to give color to the chair. In case you don’t know, Anthropology is part of URBN, and they take global community initiatives and sustainability very seriously. They also support arts and education programs through different non-profits, focus on handmade products and carry vegan leather options! These pillows were on sale. Approx $35 each (with insert).

Next to the chair, I hanged a Dieffenbachia (oxygen cleaning plant) using a beautiful macramé planter that was handmade with recycled cotton by Yerbamala Design.

YOGI CORNER:

This is my spiritual corner. I designed it with items I’ve collected throughout these years. Some of them were gifts, others I made myself, and some I purchased. I won’t go into specific detail, but here are some WTS tips:

1) This is the corner that reminds you about your essence. Your spirit. The religion or philosophy of life you connect to the most. Your temple.

2) Some products I recommend: Himalayan salt lamp, aromatherapy room freshener or oils, plants, recycled wood crate for your spiritual books, a mala, a dream-catcher, and a Buddha statue.

LIVING ROOM:

I chose to go crazy with colors here! No boundaries, no design pattern.

1) SUP paddleboard: I purchased this baby about 5 years ago. It was designed by my brother and, instead of storing it, I decided to transform it into boho home décor. I wrapped LED lights around it to add eye-catching spiciness to it.

2) Pink chair: It’s ethically made, in the US, with car seat belts by Harveys.

3) Yellow Owl Planter and White Vase: They are handmade and hand-painted by women in Colombia. Fair-trade and packaged/shipped using the cutest eco-friendly boxes by HabibiLiving. You get to choose the plants on their website. Prices range between $16-$85.

4) White-Silver boxes: I bought these in Bali.

5) Gold bottles: A wine bottle and a VOSS water bottle I painted myself using gold non-toxic and water-based paint from Martha Stewart, and White Chalk non-toxic eco-friendly paint by Renaissance. 

6) Yoga mats and wheel: All three are eco-friendly but made with different materials. The beige ones, and the wheel, are made with renewable cork and recycled tire rubber by Yoloha and ILoveGurus. The pink one is made from natural tree rubber by Jade, and they plant a tree for each mat sold.

7) Rug: Fair-trade and handmade, empowering artisans in India by Guadalupe Design.

8) TV-stand: made from recycled wood by my handyman. Cheaper, faster and more sustainable than buying a TV-stand at a store. $150 with installation.

9) Sofa and floor Pillows: WestElm. Another favorite store of mine. Their products are not only fair-trade, but they also support local artisans, artists and charities. The prices of these ranged between $28-$45 (with inserts).

10) Plants: Midtown Garden Center in Miami is my place to go for plants. Nature, vegan food trucks, recycled wood furniture, and little lights everywhere

11) Soy candles: better for your health and the environment! I have Anthropologie ones around my home, and also Thx Co's (fair-trade, philanthropic, and eco). 

MANDALA BREAKFAST AREA:

I purchased the table and the stools at IKEA. One of the reasons why I love visiting and supporting IKEA is because they take sustainability and ethics to the next label by sourcing their wood sustainably, switching to energy-efficient LED lighting, and even installing solar-panels in their stores. Approx $290 for the table and three stools.

I then painted mandalas with eco water-based chalk markers on the stools, and coated them with clear paint.

Aromatherapy Diffuser: This product changed my life! All you need to do is fill it with water and your favorite aromatherapy oils.

KITCHEN TIPS:

-Use laundry (wood) clips rather than plastic clips

-Use mason jars as glasses, and also to store your superfoods

-Use planetfriendly cleaning products. My favorite brands are: Mrs Meyers and Seventh Generation

-Get a water filtering pitcher. I use SOMA. Their filters are made with 60% recycled and plantbased materials, and their handles with sustainable oak. Plus, their designs are flawless!

BALCONY TIPS:

-Use recycled wine crates as décor

-Use recycled glass water bottles, paper coffee cups, coffee mugs as planters. 

-Plant your favorite herbs, spices, veggies, and fruits. I have basil, mint, lavender, rosemary, mint, cilantro, tomatoes, lettuce, pineapple, and succulents everywhere.

BATHROOM TIPS:

-Recycle your wine and glass water bottles, paint them and transform them into decorative pieces. For eco-friendly and non-toxic paint brands, scroll up to LIVING ROOM. 

-Add some plants (The elephant planter is from HabibiLiving as well. Fair-trade and handmade)

-Get soy candles. Mrs Meyers is a great option. The scents I like are Lavender and Basil.

-Paint a mason jar and use it to store your toothbrush and toothpaste.

-Use fairtrade and handmade bath rugs. Mine is by Guadalupe Design and empowers artisans in India.

HALLWAY TIPS:

-Use your cotton shopping bags as décor. I insterted some dried lavender in mine and hung it on the wall.

-Add a vase with water and crystals next to entrance to your apartment/home. This will absorb people’s negative energy when they enter your home. Once they leave, pour the water down the drain, clean your crystals, fill with fresh water, and repeat as needed.

CLOSET TIPS:

-Use newspaper to give a twist to your mirror. I glued mine with Onyx+Green natural glue.

-Hang toquilla hats around the mirror.

LIFESTYLE TIPS:

This is for everyone who is on their phone and computer 24/7. Get a radiation protective case from SafeSleeve. I have both the laptop and iPhone ones and use them every single day. Radiations are extremely harmful to our health and have been proven to cause cancer. Safesleeve’s cases protect you against 99% of all three types of harmful EMF radiation. They have vegan leather cases available too! :)

And lastly, for all dog-lovers, GoFullCircle is a great option for when that painful moment comes and we have to say goodbye. GoFullCircle gives you the option of giving life to a tree from your dog's ashes. You will receive a beautiful container made from bamboo with fertilizer, soil and wood chips inside. All you have to do is combine your baby's ashes with the fertilizer, soil and wood chips. GoFullCircle also gives you the option of choosing which tree you want. It's a wonderful way to honor your dog and create life from life. Once you plant the tree, you can recycle and use the bamboo container to store things or memories. Use code WTSFIVE for discount.
