Us natural living bloggers, we like to live on the fringe and promote things that are outside of the norm. Yet even in our niche, there are certain topics that are hard to write about and can be controversial. Certain topics that can be embarrassing or difficult to write about or that people don’t like to talk about in general conversation. It’s time to break down these walls and give some love to those hard posts! So, without further ado, I give you a round up of…
