And if fulfillment involved returning to the roots? And if we took the time to focus on what is essential and took care of ourselves? These nagging questions for consumers are such that they can not be viewed as being simply a trend.  Faced with social challenges related to the environment and the awareness of the importance of taking care of one’s health on a daily basis, consumption trends evolve and new demands emerge.
