*This post is not intended to be medical advice, just my own experience. Please check with your doctor about supplements if you have questions. Thanks! When one of my children was around 5 years old and well-potty trained, he started to have streaks in his undies. It got to the point where it was almost […]
Since I started this non-toxic journey, perfume has been one of those difficult items to find. Either it’s cheap and full of chemicals or it’s totally non toxic and super expensive. But this Christmas, my husband got me (actually I bought it for myself and marked it from him!) the sample set of Skylar’s perfumes. […]
I’m not going to give a big intro or life lesson about vinegar when I know you just want to get to the recipes, but I will say, vinegar is a very useful item to have around the house. It’s a safe, non-toxic alternative to many cleaning products. It’s also an acid and a natural disinfectant if […]

We’ve been trying to live the non-toxic lifestyle for awhile now, but it can sometimes feel slow going because of the price of most of the organic options out there. Thankfully, people are learning more about the harmful chemicals being pumped into our products and demanding (with their wallets) change. If you can afford to […]
When I started reading the ingredients on some of the products that I had around the house, I was shocked. My laundry detergent (the country’s number 1 leading detergent) contained propylene glycol!
