Alix: I know you cut out dairy and nuts (for now) to see if it's contributing to your acne but can you give me your take on oat milk and how to read the label to ensure I am not choosing something with a bunch of added sugar?

11 Wellness Trends: Healthy or Hype
Charcoal HYPE: This one makes me cringe when I see people drinking it. Put it ALL over your body if you want, but please don't put it INSIDE your body. It's touted as a way to "detox" but charcoal cannot identify the good vs. bad internally and will strip good nutrients from the body as well as so called "toxins".

Some of my favorite clothing pieces came from those boxes and they are mostly items I wouldn't typically pick out for myself.
