Some jewelry is just prettyโ€ฆ but some also tells Some jewelry is just prettyโ€ฆ but some also tells YOUR story. โœจ Iโ€™m loving my custom necklace from @haverhill! The initials represent my two amazing daughters and our two fluffy doodles. โค๏ธ Itโ€™s the sweetest reminder of those who fill my days with love, laughter, and, letโ€™s be honestโ€” a bit of wildness. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Crafted in solid 14k gold and designed to live in, you never have to take it off during exercise, showering, or sleeping (which is perfect for mom life)! ๐Ÿ˜ Custom made with meaning in their Rhode Island studio and shipped out daily, their pieces are truly jewelry with heart. With the Haverhill Motherโ€™s Day Sale happening now, itโ€™s the perfect time to create a gift that celebrates motherhood โ€” whether thatโ€™s your kiddos, your fur babies, or both. ๐Ÿฅฐ Every piece comes beautifully gift-wrapped and ready to make a mamaโ€™s day. Customize yours with initials and birthstones/gems โ€” because every story deserves to shine. โœจ #haverhillpartner #HaverhillJewelry #MothersDayGift #CustomJewelry #GirlMom #GoldendoodleMama #MadeWithMeaning #14kGold #PersonalizedJewelry #DogMomLife #HeirloomJewelry
๐Ÿšจ BIG News: The FDA Is Starting to Phase Out Ar ๐Ÿšจ BIG News: The FDA Is Starting to Phase Out Artificial Dyes! ๐Ÿšจ The U.S. is taking a long-overdue step โ€” the FDA just announced a plan to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes from our food supply. ๐Ÿ™Œ But hereโ€™s the catch... these harmful dyes, like Red No. 3, can still be on shelves for years before theyโ€™re fully gone. Artificial dyes arenโ€™t just about bright colors โ€” theyโ€™re linked to serious health concerns like hyperactivity, allergic reactions, and worse. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ And while countries in the EU banned many of these years ago, weโ€™re only now seeing action in the U.S. Thatโ€™s why label reading and ingredient awareness are more important than ever. Sneaky names and hidden risks make it easy for these dyes to slip into your cart without you realizing it. ๐Ÿ›’ ๐Ÿ’ก Swipe through this post to: โœ”๏ธ Expose the hidden names of common food dyes โœ”๏ธ Learn the real health risks behind those bright colors โœ”๏ธ Discover safe, natural dye alternatives ๐ŸŒฟ While we wait for shelves to catch up, you have the power to choose better for yourself and your family today. ๐Ÿ’– โžก๏ธ Have you started cutting out artificial dyes?
