Hormone Disruption from Household Products
Today, we’re talking about hormone disrupting chemicals and what I’ve learned about them so far. These types of chemicals are literally all around us. They can be in the air we breathe, the products we use in our homes and on our bodies, and in the food and drinks we consume. So what exactly are hormone disruptors, and what are they doing to our bodies? Hormone disruptors (also called endocrine disruptors or EDs in scientific literature), are chemicals that act on your hormonal system. They usually work in one of three ways: They fool the body into thinking that they’re naturally occurring hormones. Some examples are: Oestrogens (the female sex…

Stinkbug Naturals
I’ve been a lover of Stinkbug Naturals for several years now. It is my favorite nontoxic deodorant and trust me, I’ve tried them all! Most non toxic deodorants don’t work or cause skin irritation due to the baking soda ingredients. I’m thankful for Stinkbug because it’s effective and also isn’t crazy expensive.

Working Out From Home
Today, I wanted to talk to you all about something that will totally change your life. I am always one to talk about how staying healthy and active is important but during these times, it’s definitely a little harder! I know many of you are busy moms who are desperately trying to homeschool kids, work from home, and keep everything together! A month ago I was posting about how much I love going to my yoga studio, but the times have drastically changed since then. My studio is closed and I am left with no fitness options outside the home. In most of the country, all gyms and fitness centers…

Nontoxic Men’s Personal Care Products
This post is sponsored by the Mailroom Barber. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. When it comes to the world of non toxic men’s products, you can welcome a very select few brands to the playing field. Men’s personal care products tend to be the most harmful to our bodies because they contain toxic chemicals with links to reproductive issues along various other issues. It has taken almost 8 years for Derrek and I to find a brand that we trust for safety and are also high performing. My husband is VERY picky about what personal care products he uses (I…
