Say Goodbye to Toxins

/ embracingspirit / 1 Comment

I used to be such a candle addict! Especially from fall through Christmas! I always had a candle burning and plug in things in the wall spewing out even more toxins. GAH!

I had NO idea that I was disrupting my own hormones and my family’s! (Yep! Hormones aren’t just a woman thing!) In fact, our homes are one of the most toxic environments we spend the most time in!

I have a friend whose son was suffering from chronic breathing issues. Lots it discomfort and costly doctor appointments. But wouldn’t ya know when she ditched the synthetic fragrances in candles, air fresheners, car fresheners, laundry soaps and personal care items… his breathing troubles pretty much disappeared!

Maya Angelou says, “ When you know better, you do better.”

Diffusing essential oils can’t not only make your house smell amazing but it will bring great benefits to everyone in the home!DoTERRA just released a new bundle that will replace all your smelly things with natural, safe and health benefiting aromas AND a diffuser. Remember, if you’re diffusing essential oils that you cannot openly view the testing, you have no idea the potentially toxic stuff you’re breathing in. I choose only the purest.

Order this new bundle here. When you do, I plug you into education and mentoring and send you an awesome welcome package. Not sure just how versatile essential oils can be? Check out this free ebook!

Toxin Free Living

Have you ever thought about all the toxins you come into contact throughout a given day? And I don’t just mean physically. ?

Over the last few years I have learned how to swap out natural things for the common and usually toxin filled things both in my household but also personal care. AND, I have created habits to get rid of emotional toxins, too.

Here is a sampling of what I have done:

?100% cleaning with oils and natural ingredients
?make my own body butter with shea & coconut oil
?a drop of lemon in my water everyday
?probiotics every day
?consume mostly organic foods
?twice yearly cleanse (more to come on that soon)
?wash my produce with lemon EO
?digestive enzymes
?diffusers in almost every room for clean air
?time in nature to re-fuel and connect
?wish angry drivers peace while driving
?limit screen time (what a toxic overload!)
?minimal TV, and never crime or drama
?practice discernment and have boundaries
?only headlines of news to stay informed
?give others the benefit of the doubt
?love as much as I can

Do you have toxins in your life? What can you do to eliminate them?

Natural laundry

Did you know that there is no governing agency enforcing transparency when it comes to listing actual ingredients on dryer sheets packaging? Even the harmful chemicals used to create the heavy fragrances don’t need to be listed. I don’t know about you, but this makes me a bit squeamish considering how many harmful chemicals are linked to respiratory issues, cancer, nervous system disorders, and hormone disruptors?
 
I love nice smelling laundry when it comes out the dryer! But I don’t like all the chemicals that are used to make that happen.
 
If you want to reduce your toxic load, do your homework! I encourage you to spend some time researching ewe.org. Of the 45 dryers sheet brand/types listed, 6 had a C rating, 27 had a D rating and 11 had a F rating. For the record, F means highest concern, potentially significant hazards to health or the environment or poor ingredient disclosure.
 
Gross. And yet consumers buy these products every day. There is a much better, and safer way to get soft and amazing smelling clothes and linens!
Get yourself some wool dryer balls and add essential oils! (check out my faves here!) I love lavender with  my sheets, lemon with my towels and something fresh and earthy like mints and cedarwood on my clothes.
