Why Encapsulating My Placenta Was A Non Negotiable
When I had my first baby, I had no idea what was in store for me. I also didn’t know about the fourth trimester. This one is all about mommy. Alongside dealing with body issues like postpartum bleeding, cramping, sore and engorged boobs, it’s also a time to worry about maintaining sanity and resting so the body can heal. The next few months are crucial as a new or once again mom because they set the tone for YOU. When I first had Nolan, I had no idea about natural ways to fight post partum depression and remember nights/early mornings up with a crying baby wondering how was I ever…

3 Non-Toxic Diaper Brands I Recommend
Knowing what is in the products that you use for your baby is important. I’ve written a non-toxic shampoo and body care guide that you can view by clicking here that explains all of my suggestions. I have yet to share my top non-toxic wipes brands so here we go… This is an important swap to make when reducing the toxic load of your baby. Why? The amount of times we use baby wipes, where they are used on the baby, and the fact that we don’t wash off the areas that we’ve wiped. All of these reasons are why I think a non-negotiable for your baby should clean wipes.…

My “Healthy Gatorade”
Imagine a healthy version of Gatorade. That’s Drink LMNT. But even better. Electrolytes are important. But why? These are essential minerals that your body needs in certain amounts to function its best. Electrolytes help conduct electricity through water in the body. Every time we sweat, also comes out the minerals in our bodies so it’s very important to replenish them. My household loves LMNT electrolytes because it’s easy, simple and salt-tayyyy. My absolute favorite is the watermelon salt. Personally, when I first tried this, I was like 😖 There’s 1000mg of salt in a packet but once you get used to the taste, you’ll actually crave it. I do suggest…

Improving the air quality in our home with air purifiers
In the world of non-toxic swaps, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start. I do suggest starting simple with things that you use a lot and being happy with any swap that you’re able to make. This makes it less overwhelming and helps you feel more accomplished with any swap you do! When I first started making my swaps to more non-toxic items, I started with food, moved to cleaning products and then my personal care products. That was over 10 years ago and since then the amount of swaps that I’ve made is honestly something that I cannot count. You can read more about making those swaps and how…

Why You Should Add Trace Minerals Into Your Filtered Water
One of the biggest swaps you can make in your non-toxic journey is making sure you drink and bathe in clean filtered water. My family and I drink A LOT of water. So much water that plastic bottles aren’t our thing (they’re wasteful, not the best quality, and not environmentally friendly) and tap water isn’t an option (go to the EWG tap water database to test what’s in your water – it’s a HUGE eye opener). It’s made me become somewhat of a water snob and for that reason, I’ve tried several water filters so I can share my honest review on them all. My absolute favorite water filtration system is linked…
