“How can I remove fragrance from my house? I love making it smell GOOD!” I cannot tell you how often I’m asked this exact question when it comes to making this swap for safer 👀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ummmmm, let me whisper a secret in your ear – essential oils. It’s not hoodoo magic (although it really does make you wonder sometimes how it actually works 😂✔️) it’s a solution to a multitude of fragrance filled products we can replace.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I hate to break it to you but your wall plug ins, candles, perfume and dryer sheets are all super toxic and can cause major health issues. “Fragrance” is a trade secret term that can…

Upper Body Workouts You Can Do Anywhere
Are you wanting to help add more definition to your arms outside of carrying babies and grocery bags? I’ve got you! I love working on my arms and building muscle strength.

What’s Hiding In The Air In Our Homes?
Since starting my own family, I’ve slowly learned about air purifying and why it’s a must for the inside of our homes. It was most definitely NOT my first swap when switching to a nontoxic lifestyle but one that I found extremely important after learning about laundry products we use that can cause air pollution in the air. That’s what made me have an AH HA! moment about what could be hiding in the air quality of own home. Since then I have been on a major quest to reduce the contaminates in any way I can. One of the major investments I’ve made for our home has been air…
