I will admit, I have always had a touch of the OCD, but
nothing really going off the deep end, or that’s what I like to tell myself. I am also a
self proclaimed germaphobe. Indeed, if you sneeze or cough around me, you will
find me lifting my shirt up around my face and running away from you unabashedly
so. When it comes to food, I definitely prefer healthier varieties of “clean” eating.
Sorry, but can I just say that watching people eat fast food makes me yak. Yes,
to each his own, but I still shake my head at you…lovingly of course.
What am I getting at here? I have always placed an emphasis on my personal quest for healthier living, but becoming a mom has made me crazed with
avoiding toxins, especially when it’s anything that comes near my baby.
Since having a baby, a whole new depth of knowledge has
opened up for me. Do you realize baby products widely harbor toxic ingredients?
I think as consumers we assume baby products would be safe. What? Compromise mine or my
child’s health to commodify and profit, they wouldn’t, would they? Yeah they
WOULD.
The Government doesn’t require any chemicals to be tested
for safety before new products hit the store shelves even. If you have a baby and even
if you do not, I can bet you anything I have that you are currently using a lot
of product brands you would assume to be playing by the rules, looking out for
your best interest, right? The sad fact is they aren’t. A lot of the ingredients in these products
are super scientific with fancy chemical jargon. They make me yawn before I can
finish attempting to pronounce them, but they are covertly working away at making sure we have a lot less birthday parties.
Effects of using products laced with hidden toxins have been
linked to breast and prostate cancer, early-onset puberty, and polycystic ovary
syndrome just to name a few little oh really’s.
Basically, these chemicals are in EVREYTHING people!
My wish
for you is to also start your own journey into really deliberating over what you’re using in
your home, on your body or on your babies.
What do you say!? YOU and ME toxic FREE! Yes, I have some
nachos for that cheese.
