Yep, it’s that time of year again. While many people go without setting resolutions at the beginning of the year, I actually like having a new focus each January … even if it is thrown out the window by the time Mardi Gras rolls around. Sure, every year I resolve to lose weight, exercise more, drink less, read more …. I also try to focus on another area of my life, such as professional development, being more spiritual, etc. This year I’ve decided to focus on practices and products that are better for me AND the planet.

Guess what? Epsom salt isn't actually salt. It’s actually a pure mineral compound of magnesium sulfate in crystal form, so it looks an awful lot like salt.

The wonders of epsom salt have been well known for hundreds of years and, unlike other salts, has beneficial properties that can soothe the body, mind, and soul.
