Starting to feel better sent me on a journey to rid my life of the toxic products in our home.
I started with laundry detergent and some household products that were all natural. Slowly moving into self-care products.
That has grown into anything with fragrance such as candles, paraffin based wax melts, sprays, bathroom spray, fabric sprays, dryer sheets, etc... are all filled with toxic ingredients and even endocrine disrupters.
That morphed into our foods, filled with starches, sugars, seed oils, coloring, so called natural flavors and more. I make most of our condiments and sauces, I cook from scratch with whole foods (foods that are ingredients, not that have ingredients).I started using Norwex face and body cloths instead of toxic body wash, natural moisturizer and toner. I make my own remineralizing toothpaste and replaced my plastic toothbrush with ones made from bamboo and charcoal.
I am working on replacing plastics in our home (this is seriously daunting as plastic is so convenient, but leaches microplastics into your body, that sit and cause health issues.
Don't get overwhelmed, start with one thing at a time and make better choices.
You and your family are worth it.
