Why We Wash Our Sheets Weekly
How often do you wash your sheets? Come on, get real with me. Is it once a month? Every other week? Once a week? Not at all?!?!? Whatever the frequency you’re currently working with, I am going to encourage you to make it a habit to wash your sheets weekly. Why? According to The Sleep Foundation, you should wash your sheets once a week. “Each and every week, most of us spend approximately 49 to 60+ hours sleeping in our beds. That’s a lot of time to get the rest our bodies need to thrive, but it’s also ample time to build up dirt, sweat, oil, and other gunk on our sheets…

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…

Grove Co Makes My Life Easier – Here’s Why You Should Try It
When switching to cleaner products, it can be confusing all around. There are so many brands to choose from and it cannot only be overwhelming but wasteful financially trying them all. Several years ago, I was introduced to a online store front that has made my home non-toxic swaps so much easier, and now I am sharing it with you. (Please read this about indoor air pollution and see why making a swap to safer home products was something I did early on and very beneficial for your health.) In the realm of home products I don’t feel like the things we use in our homes are a one size…

How to shop for produce at the grocery store
Would anyone like help shopping healthy at the grocery store? I remember when I first decided to eat better and was walking the aisles of the grocery store. My mind was spinning, I was so confused, and I couldn’t even make choices to put in my cart. I was seriously considering backing out of this health change. Thankfully, I bucked up and made it through… but not without lots and lots of mistakes. Those mistakes helped me learn and gain confidence in my diet. Over time, I’ve learned so much about foods and what they really do in our bodies. While I do always recommend shopping organic, I know that…
