Why You Should Wear Reef Safe Sunscreen!

The coral reefs in our ocean are dying and it is all our fault! In the last decade or so, ten perfect of our coral reefs around the entire world have died or have already been destroyed. We need to make a difference and that starts with the sunscreen that we use. Our sunscreen contains toxic chemicals both for our oceans and our bodies but don’t feel bad. You can make a difference with a few simple changes such as using reef safe sunscreen.

10 Easy Swaps To Ditch Single-Use Plastic

It’s still January and we have 11 months left in the year to make a conscious change in our lifestyle. One of the many things I want to work on this year is cutting out single-use plastic. I’m not going to say it is easy. We have been so used to the easy way of life without thinking of the environmental impact our actions are causing that we tend to forget to bring these items with us. Me included! But don’t feel bad. We are in this together. I have

If by chance I did take photos I made sure to do so from far away. Anything so nobody would notice my not so pretty white smile. I was already embarrassed enough from a bike accident I had that chipped my tooth and damaged my two front teeth causing an unwanted gap. Add the stain to them and I just wanted to hide it
