I am a warrior, a shieldmaiden, not because I wield an ax or sword (although I am pretty handy with an ax, hatchet, saw or knife) but because I protect and challenge anything that stands in the way of the health and welfare of my family and kin. Those traits are inherent in any female in nature.
The environment that we live in is full of toxins and harmful elements. Taking the time to care for your skin brings healing and if you are putting healthy natural ingredients on your living organism then your body (which absorbs these products) will benefit as well.
