This is a great book that details how fashion is making us sick. The author spares no details, backed up by plenty of facts and data, to tell us about both the history of toxic fashion as well as the present state of the industry. Wicker also gives us actionable steps we can take to reducing our exposure, thereby protecting our health and the planet. The author talks about how toxic fast fashion can be, and how our clothes and the material we wear can be making us sick - for example, he dives into the stories of infertility associated with the chemicals leeching into our skin from the items of clothing we wear, clothing we don't really think has an impact like it does. He also talks about their connection with autoimmune dieseases, which we all know are on the rise. In this case, you get what you pay for; cheap clothes equal health risks and detriments to our planet. It's not all in your head! Many people suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity (the author expands upon this in great detail) and these chemicals in our clothing greatly affect those with sensitivities. But don't be fooled! They're not just a risk for people with sensitivities, but for all of us. They wreak havoc on the body, whether we directly see or feel it or not. I highly recommend this book if you'd like to learn more about this topic. It's well written and so informative, and I enjoyed gaining newfound knowledge that can help me make better choices for myself, my family and the planet.

I thought this book would be great for helping me better myself as I'm always looking to read books that help me improve myself. But really, this is a promotional book for some type of thing called Lifemapping. It's basically some pseudoscience, mumbo jumbo "finding yourself and your purpose" book that doesn't actually have real substance and just was not good at all. If it were as easy as tricking your brain into believing something, we all would be just fine and not need any help at all. There are PLENTY of other self help/self discovery books out there that are so much better and that are actual helpful for someone. I really wouldn't recommend wasting your time with this book.

I really enjoyed this spin on the Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie. This is a witchy and magical retelling, and a really interesting turn of events when it comes to the enemies to lovers trope; in fact, you could really call this is a lovers to enemies to lovers book? I don't think that's been done before, at least not like this, and it's both refreshing and highly entertaining. While these two are supposed to be enemies, as defined by the ways in which they grew up and what they were told, it's evident that theya re the furthest thing from rivals. They go on a journey where they discover that the things they have been told their whole lives might have been lies, and a road to discovering whether love is really something that conquers all. This was so much fun to read and I thoroughly enjoyed not only the romance, but the plot, the humor, the banter and yes, the smut as well. The cover is also so beautiful! I really loved this book and would recommend it.
