My favorite non-toxic things
Living a healthy lifestyle doesn't stop at food. There are so many things we are exposed to on a daily basis, including chemicals, toxins, artificial ingredients, deadly bacteria and viruses. Being a nurse, I am a complete germ-o-phobe and have somewhat of an obsession with cleanliness and non-toxic substances... but there is a point where you feel so overwhelmed by all the disgusting and harmful things we are surrounded by and you just have to give up. But when you think about it (and not even for long), it makes sense that kids have more ADHD and Autism than ever before, or more babies are being born premature, or more people are dying of horrifying disease and cancers.
 We use these in the hospital every day!! A very wise woman once told me if I wanted to have babies, don't ever use these wipes without gloves on!! Thanks, Patty! There are countless things we are in contact with each day that we cannot control. Until the rest of the planet takes control, we have to concentrate on the things we can control. This was my New Year's Resolution for 2011, and I am happy to report that this is my most successful resolution yet. I thought I would share some of the things I have grown to love, for their natural properties, for their environmental friendliness and small carbon footprint, for making my home healthy and toxin-free, and for [some of them] making my skin amazing!  *Please note that I am in no way endorsing these products. I am just passing along my opinion!  Love these towelettes. Usually when I read a claim on a package, I am weary. These claim to give you noticeably radiant, smooth skin. I can without a doubt notice a difference in my skin! I use these for a quick wash at the end of the day. They moisturize, too!  This is the most natural soap you can buy.. and it lasts foreverrrr! I love the peppermint for the tingley feeling, and it is very cooling after a workout or on a hot summer day.  When I first bought this, my Dad asked me "What is that black stuff in the bathroom?" I lovee this soap. It is very mild and a bit ex-foliating. I do not have acne-prone skin (very blessed, I know) but I love the deep clean feeling.  Picked these up from Trader Joe's today! Tea tree oil has natural anti-bacterial properties. I hate products that are anti-bacterial (I am very afraid of super-bugs!), so I love that these are 100% natural.  I am still on the hunt for natural shampoos that leave my hair feeling super clean, but these are pretty good and very budget friendly.  I love the smell of this shampoo! I don't need a hydrating shampoo, but I wanted to try it anyway.  This is my #1 beauty product!!! I use it for EVERYTHING. I loveee coconut oil. I use it everyday to remove my eye-make up. It has anti-aging properties, is very moisturizing and is 100% pure! I use it for a deep conditioning hair treatment, after-shaving moisturization and any dry skin.  The best cleaning products ever! & they all smell so heavenly! Essential oils act as surfactants to clean away dirt, and also have natural anti-bacterial properties to take the germs away, too.  I am terrified of plastic! I am on a mission to rid myself of plastic use, which is extremely difficult-- but every little step counts.. Very excited to get my new glass water bottle! Glass storage is making a huge comeback people! There are so many things we cannot control, but I like to know I am putting great effort towards the things I can change to make me, my home and the world a bit healthier. I love that there is more awareness of these things lately, and hope it snowballs into a healthy, happy world.  related searches : Favorite
