The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).

As we approach the last couple of days of 2015, I can’t help but to smile back at such a wonderful year. I’m super grateful for all the amazing opportunities, projects, experiences, relationships formed/built, the highs and the lows, my personal and professional growth, all the memories formed, my beautiful family + true friends . Most of all, 2015 was a year of challenges, of risks, of fighting for what I believe in, of growing- it was a year in which I learned a lot about myself. It’s been a remarkable journey this year and although I’m sad to close this chapter, I’m really excited to begin a new one with you all. I’ve been blessed to do what I love and to share it with every single one of you. For 2016, I pledge to myself that I will continue to evolve, be open to new things, to challenge myself, to love everybody in my life unconditionally, to never regret anything, to live life to the max, to stay humble and be kind to everybody and of course to appreciate every single one of you. I wish you all a blessed year full of all the things you’ve always dreamt of and more! Thank you 2015 for all the memories and for making us stronger, and Hello 2016- we are ready for you!! Cheers! Special thank you to you, my beautiful readers, for supporting me, finding time out of your day to check in on my blog, for believing in me and my brand and for all the love and positive feedback you leave me, whether I’ve met you or not, I love every single one of you and appreciate you for your time and support.
