Fort Negrita Blog — Zero Waste
Zero Waste Hygiene/Beauty Series
So this Zero Waste life will never be an option for you unless I break it down. Right? Right!
It really is a pleasure droppin' Zero Waste science for the people, and I've been anticipating delivering video how-tos since I first started my Zero Waste life.
