27 Jul My Favorite Ethical & Eco-Friendly Swimwear For Summer!
Did you know that the fashion industry is the third most polluting industry in the world after oil and agriculture?
Today I am sharing something a bit different, and hoping to do more written pieces like this to shed light on other aspects I am passionate about aside from food.
