My Mission To Live Clean 

I recently have been really paying attention to the products and the ingredients that are in the products I have around my home. It wasn't something I used to think much about, but as I got older and I had children of my own I started to really get concerned with what was going in or on my children's bodies and what I could be doing that would be safer and cleaner. So many chemicals are linked to cancer and with so many people suffering I think its worth making a change.

For a while I cleaned with vinegar and lemons, I made my own body scrubs and butters, I used coconut oil and mixed up my own concoctions to use around the home that was safe if my children happen to get into that dreaded cupboard under the sink. As much as those things worked, it took a lot of my time to be mixing and making them, I hated the vinegar smell and essential oils can be extremely pricey.

I found that the thought of cleaning something with a Lysol cleaner I would be continually thinking about what effect that would have on myself and my children when we 1. breathe the scent in, or 2. touch and or (in the babies case eat off the floor). I think our home should have a degree of germs as that's important for the immune systems but it cant be filthy. However in my opinion I think our own germs are safer then the chemicals and toxins found in most cleaning and household products.

I've recently started purchasing clean living, toxin free products for my home and let me tell you I'm over the moon about it. 

1.  I always thought that Clean Living products you buy won't work as well... Happy to say I was wrong. I've been extremely impressed with the quality the and the effectiveness of the products. My top 5 favourites so far are the Laundry Detergent, Dish Soap, Toothpaste, Dishwasher pods, and the Shampoo. They smell incredible, natural, and are good for your home your body and the environment.

2. That they would be extremely pricey. Happy to say I was wrong again. I was able to purchase almost everything I would need around my home, received a discount, and I didn't even have to leave the house to shop (Who would want to bring 3 kids to the grocery store??? NOT ME) and it wasn't overpriced.

The products that I've been using are EWG, EPA, and NSF certified and approved (these are 3rd party companies that check for quality and clean ingredients). The company also manufactures the products in a clean facility and makes sure everything is recyclable. 

In addition to my mission to pay closer attention to what's in my home in our air and on my family, I've also been on a mission to reduce our plastic use. Simple changes that can drastically help the environment and really aren't that "inconvenient" for my family. Like making sure I use my cloth bags at the grocery store, using containers instead of plastic bags and saran wrap in my daughters lunch, and saying no to plastic straws at restaurants.

 Its been an easy and really enjoyable transition and I encourage everyone to take a look into cleaner living. Feel free to message or email me if you'd like to learn more about what I've been using and how you can take your first steps towards a healthier home and family.

Much Love, Teesha
