of living a less toxic lifestyle

Sunscreen Recall Alert: Benzene was found in testing of several Johnson & Johnson products. I am glad to see they are acknowledging this important issue. Consumers need to be aware that toxins are not always found on the ingredient label (althoug
Did you know salt can be a source of contaminants and heavy metals, like lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic? A study in 2018 showed that 90% of table and sea salts around the world contained microplastics. We cook with salt everyday, so I want to mak
We spent yesterday afternoon with friends at a local Tampa park. I loved seeing the ample natural shade at the park we chose, and even more so the play surface. This park used engineered wood playground mulch to cover the ground of the playground, wh
I have never gone for a walk in a Florida neighborhood that does not include many sitings of fertilizer application signs in people’s yards. Florida has an addiction to their “perfect” green lawns and the many many chemicals that it
Food Storage is a great place in your kitchen and home to focus on making safer. I have spent some time discussing the impact of our kitchen tools on our toxic exposure, and food storage is a huge component of that. I choose clear undecorated glass
Following up on Earth Day, let’s discuss Menstrual Products (sorry to the 5 men who read my page). If you are still using Tampax and Always products, now is the time to think about a healthier swap. Conventional tampons and pads are toxic to ou
Happy Earth Day! You know one of the best parts of detoxing your home? Most of the decisions that are healthier for you, are also better for the Earth. Yesterday I did a demo (in highlights) on making your own foaming hand soap from Castille Soap. Th

🍓🍓We went strawberry picking over the weekend at Strawberry Passion Organic Farm. They are certified organic, and I won’t eat strawberries any other way. The @environmentalworkinggroup (EWG) recently released their Dirty Dozen for 2021, and s
I wanted to introduce another clean and less toxic skincare company that I use regularly. The timing is amazing because they are currently having their Spring sale, and everything is 25% off! @biossance is a biotech company focused on clean skincare.
I celebrated a birthday over the weekend, and my late 30s feel slightly better knowing I have stepped up my skincare game a bit. Since my chemicals sensitivities were discovered 10 years ago, and my autoimmune diagnoses 6 years ago, I have followed a
A sick day in our house is one where we always bust out some of our art supplies. I try to find safer art supplies whenever possible, because sadly art supplies like chalk, paints, glues, markers, clays/doughs and crayons can contain toxins such as l
My porch and car are completely green, which means pollen season is in full effect. I have seen lots of people looking for something to keep their indoor environment free of this menacing visitor, and luckily I have a great solution, with a discount!
I just made a new batch of foaming hand soap in my new beautiful glass and stainless steel @rail19 foaming soap dispenser. I make hand soap using @vermontsoap Organic Castille Soap. Washing hands before cooking and eating can reduce exposure to toxic
