Hey Everyone!

\n

Today is a fun episode!  I get to introduce you to my biological (and soul) sister, Justene Kouba! She is a graphic designer by trade, but became increasingly passionate about safe beauty and home products when she became pregnant with her first child. It has also been an important part of healing her thyroid and endocrine health (the skin is our largest organ; what we put ON it matters!).
