Green Yourself First
How do you start to go green? First you have to be willing to make changes in your life! You have o let go of the bells and whistle” cleaners that make tigs shine, smel like “fresh” air, work fast, and so on. If your products do that then you are buying the chemicals that do all those things. Your home is not getting cleaner. Yur home is getting an overdose of chemicals that could very well be a current or future catalyst for illness.
NOT IN MY HOUSE!! LOL!
So, to change things in my home, I had to start with me. Hre’s what I’m doing:
- stopped wearing perfume. I dab a little essential rose oil on my wrists and behind my ears.. hmmm.. nice …
- stopped using toothpaste – Colgate with the pretty blue stripes in it. Toothpaste contains Triclosan which is not a healthy chemical. It’s a known hormonal disruptor, especially with Thyroid hormones. It also when mixed with chlorine in tap water creates a new chemical compound called chloroform, and chlorine gas. Both are known carcinogens. Now I use a mixture of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and a dash of salt. It’s not bad and there is no aftertaste.
- I no longer purchase deodorant which contains butane! Why would I want to set my arm pits on fire! Yikes! I now use an equal mixture of baking soda (natural deodorizer) and corn statch (absorbs moisture naturally). I pat under my arms with a cotton make-up pad. It works great, absorbs and no power stains on my clothes.
To go green, you have to start with yourself. This develops a new attitude and understanding because the more you learn about the products you’re using, the more you’ll want to change whatyou’re using! They can be very toxic and make you sick.
That’s it for now. Don’t fear what you don’t know. Learn about it and start creating a healthier life for yourself.
