The Best “Woodsy” Essential Oil Diffuser Blends
For work last year, I was tasked with turning my company’s 1967 Airstream into a biophilic, Colorado-wilderness-inspired oasis at a trade show we were attending to give visitors to our booth a respite from the show floor.
My Favorite Virtual Health & Wellness Resources
Well, I’ve officially entered my 5th week of quarantine—as much of America has due to the coronavirus pandemic that has turned the world upside down.
