Here I Go

Ok, I am finally doing this.  I have told a few of you that I would be so here it is.  Some of you may know that I have thought to one degree or another about what is in my household and body cleaning products for years now.  Most of the effort I have put into changing from the standard products has been to buy less objectionable products.  This all changed about a month and a half ago.  I am not sure why or exactly what triggered it but I just kind of snapped.

I decided that I am done with products that have long lists of items especially when I cannot pronounce most of then or even know what they are.  The way I see it people were cleaning themselves and their homes a hundred years ago and what was so wrong with the way they were doing it?  More importantly I know a lot what is wrong with the way most of us do it today.

I will not go into a big rant here but it pretty much boils down to this.  More and more people are thinking about what they eat and how harsh chemicals effect their bodies.  However, our digestive systems have filters in place to help us out when we make not so great choices.  Well here in the thing, the products that we put on our skin, directly or indirectly, get absorbed in and are quickly moved into our blood stream with no filters in-between.  This can cause a myriad of issues when it involves a lot of the standard commercial ingredients today.  A few of which are hormonal imbalances, Alzheimer's disease and ADHD.  

You are probably reading this because you agree to some extent but maybe you do not know where to start.  Maybe it is that you do not feel you have the time or energy to try out a new method.  Well this is where, hopefully, I can help.  I will be posting about the things I am trying and whether they work or not and whether I like them or not.  Keep in mind just because I may not like the end result does not mean it will not work for you.  If it sounds worth your time and effort give it a go and let me know what you think.
