If you missed my first blog post on toxin-free living, check it out here. 

Starting a journey of toxin-free living is a bit like staring into the sky at night. At first, you will only see a few stars, but the longer that you look, the more you will see. I remind myself and my kids that you will always find what you are looking for. Have you ever noticed that after you purchase a certain car, that's all that you see? That's because you weren't looking for it before!

Just look at that beautiful view!

If you are always looking for negative, you will find it, but the flip side is also true. Look for the positives and you will find them everywhere! What you focus on can have a great impact on many things. For more info, check out the posts on mental health here and here.

So, with this in mind, let's revisit toxins. Before you knew any better (just like me several years ago!), you didn't see any toxins because you weren't looking for them. If you're like me, you just use the same products that you have always used because you like them. I've always known that I should be mindful of what I put IN my body - nutritious foods and supplements - but, I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't really put much thought into what I put ON my body. 

Reading the ingredients of all the foods was overwhelming, exhausting, and discouraging!

There are soooooooo many products to consider in most grocery stores. So, the thought of doing this with EVERYTHING that I purchased was a bit daunting at first. 

My recommendation for any kind of major change like this is to take it slow and make small changes over time. You are changing habits and lifestyle choices that you may have had for a very long time. There will be ups and downs, wins and losses, but the important thing is to not give up! Keep working at it, and I promise, it does get easier with time. And you may be surprised that in addition to the health benefits, you might even save some money in the long run!

If you'd like to learn more about toxins, and the first 3 ingredients I recommend cutting out, I have a webinar you can watch here.  

I also have some videos for family life. Living toxin-free with babies, kids, teens, and pets.

See those below. 

Want to cut straight to the solution that I found?! Join my tribe here for education, support, and community. You don't have to do this alone. After moving half-way across the country, I have realized just how important having a strong community and support system really are to your well-being and your ability to do hard things. 

Here's a bundle that I put together with my favorite toxin-free products to get you started.

My passion is to educate, empower & encourage you to live toxin-free!

Therefore encourage one another and build each

other up, just as in fact you are doing.
