Detox This Home








Ever wonder why there has been a massive influx in the diagnosis of asthma, allergies, autism, ADHD, fibroid tumors, endometriosis, infertility, numerous cancers, diseases, and illnesses.   The diagnosis' keep coming, but the cause and genuine explanation as to why is stated, "TO BE CONTINUED." 


Perhaps, it's true that our bodies are continuously being exposed (overexposed) to chemicals and toxic matters that we cannot begin to even fathom an accurate count.  It's been proven that a baby will be exposed to numerous toxins, only hours of exiting the mother's womb.  Truth, even the "safe" breast milk is contaminated with chemicals and unknown toxins.  You are basically exposed to toxins simply by existing.


We would love to believe that if a product or food is placed on the market for the consumer, it must be safe.  Fact, the American Chemical Society and the FDA have very few restrictions on how they decide if a product is safe.  It is unfortunate, but the consumer is basically left in charge to fend for themselves.  Try to decipher what's good, and what's bad- there's no law in place that says, a manufacturer must clearly label, "Beware, this item is contaminated," across their package.  So beware.

It's left up to the consumer to decide, which is nearly impossible if the item is not clearly labeled.  But, there are additional steps you can take to detox your home, by making changes in products that are in fact clearly labeled, "Beware, this item is contaminated with chemicals/toxins."


A few examples include:
Toss the chemicals in your laundry room, bathroom, and kitchen. Toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, toxic cleaning products, scented candles, etc.  The makeup, lotion, soaps you apply to your body are working on your body, externally as well as internally. 

Also the items that accumulate dust, or may be difficult to clean should be removed as well, or switched out and cared for often (sheets, comforters, pillows, mattresses, heavy curtains). These items should be purchased routinely and preferably purchased from eco-friendly manufacturers.

Lastly, toss the junk and unwanted belongings, as they do a major job of harboring dustmites and chemicals as well.  If you have not touched an item in the past six months, and don't have intentions of touching it withnin the next 90 days, remove it.

Links below show great ways to protect your home and family members from many toxins and chemical exposures.  There's no true way to avoid all chemicals, or to accurately identify the countless chemicals entering our homes.  By making a few changes, you can significantly reduce the effects.

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html

Me, Myself, and I

Life can be so fast paced, non-stop at times. There are days when I say, 'I'd like to get off this ride and take a break!'  And I will slow down if at all possible, meaning saying no to someone, I can't help, I can't go.  Sometimes it's just necessary for me to check in with myself and realize when too much is too much.  Just two weeks ago, I was laid out on a beach, on an island, alone. No children, no husband, not even a girlfriend.  Just me, my music, and a good book.  It's rare that I get time alone, but I believe it's highly necessary.  I've gotten a few raised eyebrows because I have taken several trips without my children, a few outside of the country.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  I'm certainly not a perfect mother, but I know that quality time is important in my household, along with family fun, activities, and traveling.  Although challenging, stealing alone time really needs to be made a priority.  This time can attribute t...

Pink Himilayan Salt Lamp

Here's another alternative to sleep meds, and a simple (reasonably priced) remedy for a host of conditions you may be suffering from.   The simplicity of the Himalayan pink salt lamps is what makes this product so awesome.  Yes, all it requires you to do is to plug it up.  That's it!  So it's a winner, no-brainer, why-not?, purchase.   Read more on how this lamp can fix your problems below. So, I've loved mine from day one.  My lamp sits on a nightstand next to the bed.  I close the bedroom and closet doors, with the goal of absorbing as much of the benefits as possible.  One concern you may have with your lamp is the lighting, if you have trouble sleeping in a less-than pitch dark room.  And if so, just use it during the day while you are awake.  The lamp can remove all sorts of 'bad stuff' from the air you breath in your home;  in-door air pollutants, pollen, dust, chemical...
