Hey there, I'm Tanea Stephens. An entrepreneur, business networking coach and wildlife conservationist who is driven to build community and inspire others. My passion? Decreasing the toxic chemical load for myself, my family, and our beloved planet. I'm using my PR background to turn over every rock searching for safe and effective products, so you don't have to. Let's live longer, healthier lives and make the world a better place – together!

Ditch Harmful Chemicals & Switch to Healthier Products Because You Can

Before baby Bella came into our lives, I was blissfully ignorant about what I slathered on my body or how my daily antics affected the planet. Now, I can't even sneeze without considering its carbon footprint. 21st century living, am I right?

Well, I've recently stumbled upon some interesting information about the healing power of plants. And let me tell you, it's got me dreaming of hitting the big one-zero-zero with flying colors! So now, I'm on a mission to scour the internet for low-toxin alternatives to everyday items. I mean, who wouldn't want to live to 100 and share all their secrets to a healthy life?

Tens of thousands of dangerous chemicals are permitted for use in products that are manufactured and sold throughout the United States. Despite decades of scientific research proving their negative, and sometimes lethal, effects, these chemicals continue to be utilized in a widespread manner. It's worth noting that the European Union and other nations have banned many of the chemicals used in U.S. products.

The consumer product oversight system in the United States is currently slow and heavily influenced by industry players. For instance, in 1999, the FDA published a scientific report stating that all but two of the sunscreen ingredients used in the U.S. were unsafe and ineffective. Surprisingly, over two decades on, most non-mineral-based sunscreens still contain these ingredients, which are sold by retailers in the country.

Why wait for the FDA and EPA to fully protect people, wildlife, and the environment when you can take action now? With me as your guide, you can reduce your exposure to toxins by ditching and switching to safer products. 

As a curious individual, I leave no stone unturned in my quest for knowledge. I've explored countless topics resulting in hundreds of product ditches and switches I've already incorporated into my lifestyle, which has provided me with inspiration for my Ditch & Switch blog. By sharing my ideas, I hope to inspire you to make healthier, more sustainable lifestyle changes.

Take a look at my weekly blog posts and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Whether you're curious about a certain product category or just need some guidance, I'm always happy to help. Connecting with people and providing useful advice on products is something I truly enjoy.
