The Body

The last four (and still counting) years of my life I have been pregnant or nursing. Needless to say I have been more conscious about not only what goes into my mouth at meal times but my hair products, body sprays and of course medications.

Having kids has heightened that awareness even more! What to give them when they are sick? How to keep them from getting sick? So many dyes and additives seem to be added into everything and for reasons I can't even begin to explain! Like why is there synthetic food dye in white marshmallows?!

I don't want to be a crazy mom and make my family live in a bubble but I try to stay educated about what products are in the home and going in and on our bodies. Many times, I have found that simply making my own products instead of purchasing them has been the best for all of us ... and our pocket book!

As Jack Kerouac said, "Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinions". However, maybe if enough people try some alternatives to the 'Western Way', they can become popular opinions.

  1. Perfume should be used within one to two years of first being opened. If it's not been opened, it can be stored for a long time, as long as it's in a cool, dark place. Don't keep an already opened perfume for long. Once opened it should be used else the fragrance will fade. Also direct exposure to sunlight or extreme temp can change the scent of your perfume, hence should always be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct light. vape mods for sale
