Nontoxic Pots and Pans + Why You Want to Make the Switch
A huge nontoxic transition in your kitchen will be pots, pans and cooking containers like crockpots or an instant pot. This transition was big deal for my family because before we switched to non toxic cookware, we had our college cheap-o pots and pans and a crock pot. I recently added a post on how to shift your entire kitchen over to nontoxic and you can read that by clicking here. What I found during researching what is in our pots and pans and also after watching the Netflix documentary “The Devil We Know,” is that most of the chemicals from everyday cookware leaches into our bodies with each use.…

This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I’ll be honest I’ve been really intimidated to sit down and really write out a play-by-play of the foods that I eat.

My Top Nontoxic Baby + Kid Products
My children’s favorite time of the day is BATHTIME! At any mention of the word bath, they are smiling and laughing with each other, trying to strip off their clothes and jump in the tub! They play together and splash around, I normally always oblige and clean up the water that travels out of the tub and let them play until they are nice and pruney! We don’t have a set schedule for their baths; it just happens organically every day sometimes multiple times a day at that. Whenever their bath time occurs, I know I’m in for lots of bubbles and lots of giggles! Bath time isn’t only fun…

How Can You Advocate For Your Health This Year?
So many people are looking for ways to take control of their health and I am here for it. This is moment I’ve been waiting for to be honest because this is something that will changes lives in so many positive ways. The choice of advocating for your own health isn’t always the easiest and most (like myself) only do so after something has happened in their life to force them to make a change. My force was having debilitating headaches everyday and only after I eliminated fragrance in my home (laundry, body, and air fresheners) did they get better. Here are the things that helped guide me through the…
