happy valentines day

instead of flowers grown with pesticides, i would like to give you guys some more tips on prevention. maybe this valentines day make a goal to change one habit?

1. create a healthy home
-buy unbleached toilet paper and tissue
-be careful with plastics (do not microwave in plastics, change your plastic water bottles to stainless steel or aluminum. check out this website for beautiful water bottle options... http://www.mysigg.com/ )
- use natural cleaning products like...mrs. meyers...they smell soooooo good... they actually MAKE me want to clean... http://www.mrsmeyers.com/

2. change your eating habits
-eat organic as much as you can
-choose hormone-free meats and dairy
-make sure you have enough fiber in your diet - fiber helps reduce excessive estrogen in your body

3. choose safe cosmetics
- avoid parabens
- avoid nail polish with formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate - sometimes found in perfumes and hair sprays
- avoid hair dyes and relaxers that have lead acetate and coal tar - sometimes found in dandruff shampoos, too
- avoid eye drops with mercury
- avoid mascaras with ethylacrylate and petroleum distillates - also found in perfume, foundation, lipsticks, lip balms.

4. get out an exercise
-remember walking 3 hours a week can make a big difference

just choose one.
do it.
and pass it on.
