Well can you believe it? The New Year is almost (finally) here! I know for many of us, 2021 couldn’t come soon enough. And while this year has certainly been challenging, it’s a good time to remember all we’ve accomplished and for me to say “Thank you” for what you’re doing to create safer havens by reducing harmful chemicals in your homes.
And an especially big “Thanks!” on behalf of the planet itself, for your efforts to live more sustainably. By reducing single-use paper and plastic whenever possible—which helps to keep waterways cleaner and landfill space free—together we are making a difference!
To close out 2020, I thought it would be fun to count down some of the most opened, “liked” and shared blogs of the year.

Thank you Amy for highlighting everyone working together towards a cleaner, healthier planet.
2020 has been a challenging year for all. We are fast approaching end Feb 2021, and we are still struggling to make ends meet. Many of us are impacted by the pandemic in every way. Regardless, I found solace in Norwex and its initiatives in helping to make the world a better place for all.
