Fillet Night: 5 things you didn’t know about farmed fish

Sustainability

Farmed fish get a bad rep and I’d like to set the record straight, but first, when you think of our subject matter: fish farms — what comes to mind? These interesting facts about the aquaculture systems might surprise you.

Hi there.

Welcome to my blog. Where I discuss sustainable habits worth implementing and document my adventures in eco-conscious beauty, style and food.

TSW Update: These photos are from this week. I bel TSW Update: These photos are from this week. I believe I've been experiencing a lull in a flare, but things today seemed to start picking back up with my neck again 😫
.
I've opted to do moisture withdrawal as opposed to my original plan of no moisture therapy (NMT), staving my skin of any moisturizer, oils and water for as long as possible.
.
No allergy shots this week due to the holiday, which makes me a little nervous. 
.
May have finally broken the endless red skin phase and entered into flare days/weeks? My facial redness has significantly reduced -- is it because of MW though? Either way, it makes me feel more positive about my healing, though I'm holding off on celebrating as this TSW stuff has proven to NOT be a linear process.
.
I also haven't fully committed to Dupixent. While it isn't a steroid, it is still an immunosuppressive drug, which will require its own withdrawal process... I'm not 100% certain anymore. My thinking is: I've gone through all this without any supplemental drugs so far, maybe the next couple of months will be my most improved?
.
I've been trying out intuitive eating. Salmon, organic, grass-fed beef and free-range chicken thighs have been my main proteins. I've been l-o-v-i-n-g roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower with Kalamata olives and ground beef cooked with onions. I kid you not, I cannot get enough of this pairing. It's so good!
.
Skin is dry, of course, which makes the morning shed pretty gross. My skin is still providing a nice picture of how I'll look in 60 years 👌🏼 if and when I do moisturize, its with vitamin E oil, coconut oil or castor oil.
.
Sleep has been rouuugh. Usually try to take melatonin before bed and a benadryl, but that has seemed to stop working. Last night I tried Wim Hoff technique and I woke up once for ~2 hrs and then fell back to sleep until 8 AM! 💫 Safe to say, I'll be doing that again tonight!

Hey there! 👋🏻 Why am I smiling? Well, I foun Hey there! 👋🏻 Why am I smiling? Well, I found @maryruthorganics Immune Support Liquid Zinc, a product that has provided me (and my skin) with some much needed immune support! Nothing is more important than your health and what you put into your body, especially during a pandemic! This supplement packs a punch against bacteria and viruses, all the while containing organic, vegan and gluten free ingredients! That's right, no sugar, GMOs, nuts, corn or soy to be found here! 🥰
