Don’t vilify satin, she’s just a weave that likes to shine 🥲
You can have wool satin, cotton satin, silk satin… but if it just says “satin,” it’s usually plastic polyester satin.

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Buying organic fruits and vegetables is the best way to avoid pesticides. But that can get expensive quickly.
If you don’t have the funds to buy all your produce organic, prioritize swapping out just the ones that are higher risk for pesticides.
