I’ve lived with hashimotos hypothyroidism over the last decade (I was 19 when I was diagnosed). Over the years I’ve taken it as an opportunity to partake in self-care, detox my health and go all natural with my home, skincare and makeup. This natural living journey has been the biggest turning point on my journey.
Today I wanted to share the resources I’ve found the most helpful, joyful and nourishing. If you’re reading this please do share this list with a friend who is dealing with a similar issue. It’s through community and knowledge that the biggest changes can be made.
These are my tried and tested MUST HAVES for living a more natural and nourished life.
