Bringing order to the chaos of life with analysis, research, and logic-driven improvements

My Brand Faves

After swapping to the low tox life over the last few years, I wanted to consolidate all of our favourite brands. Less is more. Less products in general (like going minimal with your skin care routine) or using products that are multi-purpose (Koala Eco and Dr Bronner’s).
