Greetings All!
Welcome to my blog. This is a safe space where I will share information on topics that are near and dear to my heart: Personal health and sustainable living. Without sounding too dramatic, lets face it, we as humans have not done our due diligence to protect and give back to the world that we live in. We have developed products and manufacturing practices that are not sustainable and have caused environmental disasters. We have become a consumer driven society and have lost focus on what exactly we put in our bodies. Foods and personal care products we take for granted are filled with chemicals and synthetics that harm us from the inside. Not to mention to negative effects the waste from these products do to the environment and our Eco system.
Now, to get off my soap box – this blog is not a space where I will rant and rave about the current state of our world and how our policies and practices are causing Armageddon , but to share little life hacks I have learned and some of the personal care products and brands I support and their mission to improve and lessen our impact on the world. I have always been a believer that not everyone has to be the best at recycling and living an Eco- friendly lifestyle to the extreme, but that true change and impact happens when individuals make small steps and changes to leave the world a better place. And the culmination of all these actions will have a positive domino effect. I myself am no where near perfect. I admit, sometimes I forget to bring my own shopping bags to the grocery store and must use their plastic ones. But continuously working to improve daily is what’s important, and hopefully will be everyone’s takeaway from this blog.
I’m sure by now your human curiosity is kicking in – “who is this person?” Well, allow me to introduce myself, I go by Mary, but those close to me call me “Mare.” I am a digital marketing professional at a Fortune 500 company by day. Workin’ for the man, as they say. I reside in Northwest Arkansas, in a rural community just outside the hustle and bustle of Fayetteville, about 6 miles down a dirt road on 30 acres with my husband, two dogs and a cat. And before your mind goes there, no we Arkansans do not marry our cousins and we are not all redneck hillbilly’s waiting for the south to rise again. I take great pride in my State, it is truly a hidden gem full of beautiful nature and scenic views. And to do my part to preserve this land, I work to live a sustainable and Eco-friendly existence that sustains and creates a healthy environment, both physically and spiritually.
Until next time!
Mare
