Squash the Stress: The One Change That Mattered Most
We kicked off 2025 with this simple advice: if you were going to make just one change this year, it had to be this—learn to manage your stress (and ditch the stuff that’s stressing you out, when you can).
This blog hit home because stress isn’t just annoying—it’s a real threat to your health. But the good news? Tackling it doesn’t have to be hard. Small, doable changes can make a huge difference.
If you missed it, don’t sleep on this one.

Clean Living Made Simple: Low-Tox Swaps You Loved
This year, one thing was clear: everyone wanted to know the exact brand, the exact product to buy. Walking into a store can feel like a minefield of marketing and greenwashing, making it hard to know what’s actually safe. That’s why we created 25 low-tox swaps to make in 2025—a guide to help cut through the noise and make clean living simple.
Even if you’ve only swapped out a thing or two, or it’s been on your mind but you haven’t started yet, we’re all about making progress at your own pace. You don’t have to do it all at once—or even do it all. With honest recommendations from brands we actually use and love, we made it easier to take small, meaningful steps toward a healthier home.
And we didn’t stop there. Our Holiday Gift Guide brought the low-tox lifestyle full circle, with thoughtful, cozy gift ideas to help you share the wellness love with your favorite people.
