Wellness Tip #3

If your bathroom smells of strong chemicals or in other words, if clorox bleach hits you in your face when you walk in, that doesn't make it clean. You can use water and white vinegar with some scrubbing power (or a scrub brush) to clean your tub and tile. You can use this mixture on your sinks and toilets using paper towels or reusable towels. If you're like me and don't like the smell of vinegar, add a few drops of an essential oil. Consider changing how you clean when you have small children in your home.

Known Toxins?

Shine put out a quick article this week about known carcinogens/toxins found in every day products and services. I skimmed through the commentary to find that there is a good split between people agreeing with the article and others thinking it's complete hocus pocus.

My belief is that these chemicals over time will cause harm to your health. Maybe not in the form of a cancer but most likely, decreased immune system, and that is enough for me to bring attention to what I can do now to hopefully alleviate having to take sudden action later. Being proactive now while enjoying life now... and later, will pay off for me. Now IS the keyword. Let's get started!

The article is great if you want a good place to start. Pick one of the eight items and work on it over the next, let's say, 6 months, in removing it completely and finding a healthier and safer alternative.

Be well.
