Beginner’s Guide to Giving Blood

November 21, 2018 | Posted in: Lifestyle

We are officially in the middle of the beginning of holiday season. While your planning what side dish you’ll bring to your family dinner tomorrow, I implore you to also spend some time thinking about how you can give to others this season. Giving financially isn’t always feasible, which is why I like to give blood. All it costs the donor is some time and blood, which their body will regenerate anyway. I am not an expert on blood donation nor am I a medical professional – please do not take my word as gospel. I am sharing my experience and the experiences of those around me to calm any fears you may have about donating and encourage you to get in touch with a blood donation center near you.

Perhaps the title of this post makes you stroke your chin and wonder aloud, “Hmmm….” Naming this post was an unexpected challenge, as was writing it. As I am learning more about my skin, it’s needs, the ingredients in my products and the practices of the companies behind those products, I’m struggling to not feel overwhelmed by it all. I have adjusted my mindset regarding my beauty products from 100% all-natural to a routine that has been 100% thoughtfully curated to best address my needs and my values. Throughout this post you will find a mix of natural products, fair-trade products and clinical(ish) products – all of which is explained throughout the post. If you have questions about the process, specific products or are seeking recommendations, leave them in a comment below. Let’s get chatting!

I want to hear from you! Let me know what’s been going on with you lately down in the comments or shoot me an email at mylittleboxoftricks@gmail.com – I’d love to chat 🙂
