I didn’t
start out as a naturalist healthy eating tub cleaner making mom… It all started
with a bottle of method bathroom cleaner… I bought a bottle of Lysol bathroom
cleaner afterward and could barely breathe.
Then I got pregnant and like many new parents I wanted to create a safe environment
for my little one, and then I saw Food, Inc.
That was it. I haven’t removed
all of the toxins in our house, but we are pretty damn close. Here are the 5 easiest ways I’ve found to
remove toxins from your home and your life.
1.)
Out - Teflon pots and pans : In – ceramic/
stainless steel
I know it costs a lot for a whole
new set. I have committed to buy 1 new
pot/pan a month usually from Marshalls or TJMaxx on sale. Keep your eyes open.
2.)
Out – plastic Tupperware : In – Glass/Metal
containers
A glass tupperware set is a bit
more expensive than the plastic but it is worth the peace of mind. Metal storage sets are usually a bit cheaper
but harder to find.3.) DIY – house cleaners, essentials to keep on hand - white vinegar, baking soda, natural dish soap

4.)
Swap out cosmetics – everyone uses the same
products and buy in bulk – lotion, soap, deodorant, shampoo/conditioners.
5.)
Buy less processed food – don’t give up the
stuff you love, usually it’s cheaper to make it yourself. Don’t have the time? How about a freezer
dinner swap with friends? Don’t forget about the crock pot.
