KO Beauty Bar = Eco-Friendly Environment
Wow! I don’t know about you but I never thought I would see the earth in such a resting state right now. The resting part is actually nice if we need to find a silver lining. I must say I have done more self care and routines established for myself and family that I can talk about at another time. Currently I want to share the ways that our small business operates with the hopes of continuing more ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Today officially marks 50 years of celebrating Earth Day.
