Give Your Body the Love it Deserves!

Hey there! Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your body? Crazy, right? And did you also know that whatever you put on your skin can seep into your bloodstream? Yikes! 

Unfortunately, most personal care products out there are packed with harmful chemicals that can seriously impact your health. Now, some doctors and manufacturers might tell you that the amount of toxins in each product is too small to make a difference, but let's do the math: the average American woman uses 12 products a day, while guys use 6. That's a lot of chemicals, and over time, they can add up to some serious toxic overload and fuel disease. 

So, why not give your body a break and switch to plant-based products that your body can easily process? My recommended bundles include skincare products for women and men. Watch for a future blog article/video on even more skincare recommendations. Trust us, your body will thank you!

These bundles come with a downloadable DIY armpit detox recipe that makes natural deodorant more effective. Ooh-la-la!

Eco-Friendly, Healthier Water-Proof / Resistant Fabrics Are Available Now! 

Are you unknowingly wearing water-proof/resistant clothing containing toxic chemicals? Most U.S.-based companies have not yet made the switch to healthier alternatives and forever chemicals are leaching into groundwater and possibly onto our skin. They're called forever chemicals because they are so difficult to remove from our bodies and the environment and they cause serious health issues like thyroid and immune system problems. various types of cancer, and low birth weight.   

Listen to science-based consumer groups like the Environmental Working Group and Toxic-Free Future, and switch to healthier alternatives. 

Abandon forever chemical DWR-treated waterproof outdoor clothes that are loaded with nasty chemicals and upgrade to pieces made by these heroic brands: Houdini, Jack Wolfskin, Prana, and Vaude. Your body and Mother Earth will thank you!

Protect The Ones You Love By Ditching Indoor Shoes & Switching To Slippers

Are you unknowingly bringing toxic dust into your home on the soles of your shoes? Fear not! You can easily save the day by making this easy change to your household routine. 

Did you know that walking around outside in regular shoes results in a slurry of dangerous dust hitching a ride on your footwear? The same dust accumulates indoors, leading to a hazardous buildup that you end up breathing in. This is particularly concerning for young children and pets who spend so much time closer to the floor. So, why not go barefoot or keep a basket of slippers by the door?




Ditch Bleach-Treated, Forest Paper Products & Switch to CO2-Absorbing Bamboo Paper Products 

Long ago, I abandoned paper napkins (except for parties and vacays) and switched to vintage cloth ones from antique stores. The result? I saved the planet from a lot of paper waste that we were generating and I felt like a hero. But then I learned about the nasty health impacts (especially on women) of bleach-treated toilet paper that contains formaldehyde & dioxins. My inner alarm went off, and I set out to test every eco-friendly brand out there. Finally, I discovered Cloud Paper – the only brand that's soft, tree-free, carbon-neutral, and septic friendly.

But why stop at TP? I switched to Cloud Paper towels for all my raw meat cleaning needs and the Bamboora washable towels for everything else. They're super-absorbent, reusable, and you can wash them up to 85 times! It's like having your own team of toxin-busting superheroes.

Fun plant fact: fast-growing bamboo is one of the most efficient plants at absorbing carbon from the atmosphere!
