Filed Under: featured, nontoxic

teflon is not nontoxic cookware

I believe that one of the most important things you can do to keep your family safe is to detox your kitchen. Getting rid of foods that contain different contaminants and hard to discover allergens is important, but a big area of major concern is your cookware. This is because oven and stovetop heat often can activate more dangerous chemicals in your cookware and put

How To Get Back in Shape…Without Dying

Filed Under: featured, just for mom, nontoxic

As I mentioned to you, I’m back in the gym. About 3 years ago, I joined a cheapie gym and while there was nothing wrong with it, it offered me little to no accountability. My husband and were accountability partners and we went from 4-5 days in our first year down to once a week to 1 to zero. We eventually just stopped going. This

breast cancer prevention

This month, instead of “breast cancer awareness,” I want to talk about breast cancer prevention. Why? Well, the numbers are scary, but no scarier than this line from the CDC on breast cancer: “…the most common cancer in women, no matter your race or ethnicity.” Or that it’s the most common cause of cancer death among Hispanic women, and 2nd most common among white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander,

Berkey Water Filter: Detox Your Water

Filed Under: featured, nontoxic

Berkey water filter

Like most people, our water is contaminated. I knew we had way too much fluoride, and that the nearby town was on a lead index, meaning it’s possible we have lead in our water too. Clean water is a major and important step in detoxing your home. We also have extremely hard water, causing nasty lime buildup and ruining our bronze faucets. Who knows what it’s doing to

Sinus Allergy Relief For Your Family

Filed Under: featured, nontoxic

sinus allergy relief for your family

Does your family need sinus allergy relief? While for most people, allergy season firmly sets in during the spring, for me, late summer and fall into winter are awful allergy seasons. The worst attacks I’ve ever had, in fact, happened on Thanksgiving holidays, one on a trip to Vermont and another on a trip to Delaware but I suffer at home too. I was excited to receive a
