Hey everyone! I’m Amanda, a Mom, a wife and a thirty something from Merrimack, NH. I’ll admit, I was honestly the last person in this world that would attempt to go “toxin free”. I was a product junkie at its finest and used hundreds of toxic ingredients daily. It was the cumulation of a couple things that happened which brought me to where I am today. My Mom passed away a few years ago, my Dad was diagnosed with melanoma, the most deadliest forms of skin cancer , and I developed two non-melanoma skin cancers.
This world is filled with toxic chemicals. They are in our food, makeup, personal care products, our kids crayons, the paint on our wall, in plastic water bottles, the varnish on our furniture, on our kids PJs and in the mattresses we all sleep on. I realize that we still have to live life and trust me my purpose isn’t to scare you, but if we can reduce some of our toxic body burden then we have a better chance for our bodies to function to the best of their abilities with less chances of hormone disruption, cancer, and illness.
So here’s the thing….no one is running the show in the world of cosmetics. The list of harmful ingredients that are banned for use in the US has not been updated since 1938. Companies that make cleaning products are not required to list all of their ingredients on their labels and with the food industry. Sadly, many companies now are claiming they are clean when truly they are just greenwashing their way into our homes. Greenwashing is when a company claims to offer safe products with clean ingredients, but in fact their products still contain numerous harmful chemicals. The packaging may look sleek and pretty and may even contain words like “natural,” “organic,” or “paraben-free”… But you need to turn that bottle over and read the label to see what’s really inside!
The list of endless crimes against humanity goes on BUT the more we know, the better choices we can make for ourselves and our families. We can make a difference by voting with our dollars and creating a demand for the world we want to live in. A world the way it was intended to be enjoyed.
I am here to help make the transition easier for you, my purpose is to educate and offer safer alternatives for you and your family. Everyday more organic options, healthy restaurants, products, food stores and resources are becoming available and the word is spreading. I’d love to have you join me in making these discoveries.
🌱 Do the best you can until you know better. Then once you know better, do better.
So now that you know more about me, head on over to New? Start Here to dig in!
