Who else loves four? It’s such a pure, sweet and equally as funny age. Everyday I want to write down something he says. His inquisitive brain is amazing to watch and we are constantly being asked about God, dinosaurs, infinity and death. He seems to think once you die you go to Florida which I’ll let him believe for now 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️. All of the sudden he seems absolutely huge and I can’t handle that he will be 5 this year 😭 Parenting is a constant juxtaposition of emotions isn’t it?

Three things to know when switching to non-toxic d

Three things to know when switching to non-toxic deodorant:

🔹You might sweat more at first. If you have been using antiperspirant and not allowing your body to sweat, there can be an adjustment period.

🔹You may smell a bit at first, especially if you were using artificial fragrance. I know one you get a whiff of yourself you will want to switch back to your old deodorant but I promise it will only make it worse.

🔹An armpit detox can help speed up the “detox” phase! I love the Beautycounter charcoal bar or the Beautycounter charcoal mask to help your pits detox! Binchotan charcoal + kaolin clay help draw our impurities. You can also DIY a mask if you have bentonite clay and Apple Cider Vinegar on hand.

▪️Seeing as how most of us are home most of the time right now, it’s the PERFECT time to make the switch!

▪️If you still aren’t completely sure why switching to a non-toxic deodorant matters, read my blog post “Why You Need to Switch to a Non-Toxic Deodorant” on my website!

Who likes to save money on groceries? 🙋🏼‍♀️

I love sharing healthy living and I also realize it can be expensive. I am always looking for ways to save money and share tips on saving money when shopping health food and cleaner living items.

I’ve been ordering regularly from @thrivemarket for a few years now. The convenience factor is huge and now more than ever, everyone wants to have food shipped direct to them! They have all of the health food brands I love and because they are cutting out the middle man they can offer great brands are really great prices.

I have a Thrive Market highlight saved showing some of our favorites and here are some items we order regularly:

-@sietefoods grain free chips and dips
-@jovialfood GF pasta
-@onedegreeorganis cereal and granola
-@seventhgeneration cleaning products
-@alaffia kids bath products
-@Thrivemarket avocado oil, cooking oils, baking flours and pasta sauce
-@justins dark chocolate cashew cups
-@smartsweets candy
-@chomps snack sticks
-@simplemills baking mixes and crackers
-@primalkitchen dressings and condiments
-@barebones bone broth

I’ve saved $2,350 in the 2/3 years I have shopped for our family. It’s $50 a year so clearly it pays for itself easily. If you want to try it, you can get 25% off with my link http://thrv.me/DjrBrJ which is also in my bio! They also have a handy app now that makes ordering easy peasy.

What are your favorite items to buy through Thrive? Share below.

It’s 2021 y’all! Double tap if one of your goa

It’s 2021 y’all! Double tap if one of your goals for this new year includes your health. We are spending more times than ever in our homes so setting a foundation for good health includes what we bring into our homes!

Here are 6 small changes you can make in your home that can make huge impact on your health! Whether you do them all at once or make a goal to slowly swap them out this year, all of these changes will lower your exposure to chemicals that are known to cause health issues and create a safer environment for your whole family.

🔹Water: Get a water purifier. @usaberkeyfilters , AquaPur, Pur, or Reverse Osmosis system.

🔹Tupperware: Swap all of your plastic tupperware for glass. You can find glass Tupperware basically everywhere now.

🔹Cleaning Products: Switch to safer brands like @branchbasics, @forceofnatureclean or get a few simple ingredients like Baking Soda, Castile Soap and Vinegar & essential oils and you can make safe cleaning products for the whole house

🔹Laundry Products: Switching your detergent and laundry sheets to safer brands like Branch Basics, Mollys Suds, Norwex, Attitude

🔹Pans: Swap all of your non-stick pans to safer options like stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic cast iron or 100% ceramic

🔹Air Filter: Get an air filter in your home (@airdoctorpro is my favorite) and make sure you are swapping your HVAC filters regularly (We use @its_filtertime )

I’ll go more in depth in my stories today on WHY each of these swaps matter!
