✅ Less stress, more joy, AND staying healthy? Absolutely.

December is a month of "making time for what matters most," and for many of us, that also includes intentionally making time for things that are part and parcel of our natural and healthy life decisions. Whether it's baking at home with sourdough rather than buying your annual holiday treats or taking the time to make your own cleaners so you can get the house clean - like, yesterday - when you've got guests arriving, taking the time to do things "right" can sometimes feel like it ADDS to our stress rather than calms it.

But this year, you've got the tools to be intentional with your holiday! Get all the recipes and tips for your most joyful, healthy holiday in the FREE December issue of Ethical Green Living blog magazine.
