MY WHY. - I’ve heard about essential oils for years but could never get fully on board with switching every little thing over to these small bottles of enriching plant power. I thought what I was doing was right and why change up my routine? After having kids I really started to research everything that enters our home! I remember searching for WEEKS the safest stroller and car seat, and you don’t even want to imagine the time spent on cloth diapers 🙈 I feel like it’s my duty to my family to find what’s right for us and the most beneficial for our health. Let me drop some wisdom down for ya! ⚠️ - According to the American Lung Association, the ingredients in some household cleaning products can cause health problems like headaches, irritation of the eyes and throat, respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and maybe even cancer. Some product may release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases come from paint, air fresheners, gasoline, tobacco smoke, wood-burning stoves, and a handful of household cleaners and disinfectants. Research shows that some VOCs can irritate eyes, nose, and throat; create difficulty breathing and nausea; and cause harm to the central nervous system and other organs. Products that can include VOCs and toxic substances include:* * Aerosol sprays * Oven and appliance cleaners * Air fresheners * Dishwashing liquid and detergent * Carpet and upholstery cleaners * Bleach Exposing our loved ones daily little by little to AVOIDABLE toxins is something high on this mama’s priority list. So if you haven’t figured out my WHY, it’s more than my side hustle, it’s putting my family’s health before what’s convenient and cheaper. #crunchymama #toolbox #mywhy #mysuperweapon #yleo #plantbased #plantpowered #qualityfirst #healthylifestylechoices #idoitformyfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDqJA_nqTl/?igshid=odf08ult48n3
