Welcome to the 30th episode  of "A Chat With Benedetta"! We're celebrating with another interview: Health and Beauty Blogger Emily Vickers of Social Dearest. We spoke with her about our shared experiences with treating health systemically, Emily's experience with the Benedetta line, our favorite facial treatments, and more!

About Emily: Emily's personal journey into wellness began in high school where she struggled with Eczema. She was prescribed steroid cream and given a list of brands that were "safe" to use on her skin. It was not until after she graduated college, and started her career in finance, that she became more invested in her overall health and wellness. She began researching (and near obsessing!) about safer alternatives to skincare, baby care and household products. Eventually her friends and friends of friends were e-mailing her asking for advice about non-toxic beauty and home alternatives and that's when Social Dearest was born in 2016.

The goal of her website is to help busy women, especially moms, feel more confident and educated about what they're exposing themselves and their families to. 

You can find her on her website at socialdearest.com and on Instagram @socialdearest.
