Prim - “It feels good to be yourself” Theresa Thorn

This episode is brought to you by Jihi! We’re obsessed with this brand new company and their incredible CBD skincare products, specifically Petal Milk and Merrimint balm.🌞 Jihi really promotes slowing down, breathing, and being present in something as small as applying skincare products, to really foster that sense of connection to oneself. Prim adores using their Reverie nighttime tincture for calmness before bed and nourishing sleep. Karsyn has been using Petal Milk daily to create a soothing dew, and Merrimint on her tired neck and shoulders from holding my kiddos constantly. If you’re looking to support a new business and also treat yourself to skincare that goes the extra mile, you can use our code CONSCIOUS for 15% off your order!
