Out With The Old, In With The New: Part I

  The other day i was, well again, browsing the Internet when I came across wellnessmama.com. Wellness mama is a nutritionist and a journalist mother that took health to the next level. She makes all sorts of homemade treasures anywhere from food to body products to cleaning and so forth. She mentioned that people today are starting to recognize their health, or lack there of rather, and are caring more so now what it was they are putting into their bodies. However, no one is really worried about what they are putting onto their bodies. It was then that it occurred to me that our bodies absorb anything we place on it. After all, that is the soul purpose of lotions and topical creams and such right? I am 31 weeks pregnant with my third child and i hadn't thought the creams and lotions and body sprays could affect my growing baby. i decided there are plenty of alternatives that can benefit me, my husband and my kids that are healthy and safe for our bodies.

 We unconsciously damage our bodies by rubbing harmful chemicals and unnatural products on our bodies. We ruin our skin cells and sure these products can create a quick fix, but ten or fifteen years down the road all that anti aging cream and foundation you plastered all over yourself is going to have its long term affect that no one thinks about. You will have broken down your body with the stuff.

 So, the big question, for my family any way: what are we going to do about it?

    /Out with the old, in with the new/

 I will be the first one to say however, that just because something says "all natural" doesn't mean it is all natural. You need to read the labels and ingredients and do your research. These all natural products can also get kind of expensive to buy all prepared and ready for use and that is why I have decided to make all of our body care, and cleaning products. Heck, I'm even going to make my own baby products! We are throwing out all of our old unhealthy products and replacing them with healthy and all natural. Good bye old!

These are just some of the products we threw out. The others I have already tossed:)

  So, follow me on our journey to a healthier and all natural life style. I will be posting recipes I find that work best for my family and hopefully they can become a part of yours. Enjoy!
