We know our #TEAMBUSYWOMAN community members are strong advocates of supporting fellow women...and it is always amazing & inspiring when we hear of women doing great things, or being "superwomen" - handling multiple things AND actually thriving. With that being said, we can't leave out the other half of the world population in the women empowerment equation, can we?

With #TEAMBUSYWOMAN, we believe there are little ways to live better. Start small. It’s way too overwhelming to jump immediately into 'eating clean' entirely and to have a completely new diet or routine.
