This is what I use on my face (and my hair, teeth, armpits…)


 

Hi and happy Feel-Good Monday!


This is where we share our favorite tips, tricks, secrets, and ways to "think like a healthy person" so that you can find your own delicious path to healthy living.

"Feel-Good Mondays" are meant to help us get back into that place of feeling energized, nourished, and ready to take inspired action for the week ahead.  


It has been my experience (personally and professionally) that in our quest to be healthier, we focus on food and lifestyle choices first. Switching our personal products to natural, cleaner choices tends to come much, much later – if at all! Most of us are still out there using chemical-filled sunscreens, toothpastes, hair products, tampons, and deodorants because we’ve become partial to a certain brand, and it can be hard to let go.

I know that it took me years to switch over to cleaner, healthier body-care choices, and it was a slow process. That’s why I understand when our clients can be reluctant to make the switch. If you’ve been using a lipstick or shampoo or deodorant for years (and are happy with the results), going rogue and trying new brands is definitely a process. You may not find your favorite replica right out of the gate, and you may even have to go through a bunch of brands to find your true match (that was certainly my story when it came to finding my favorite natural shampoo and deodorant!).

But here’s why it’s worth the effort: Our skin absorbs everything we put on it, and whatever it absorbs ends up in our bloodstream. (That’s why birth control patches and nicotine patches work!) That’s not concerning when what we’re putting on our skin contains food-grade ingredients, but it’s way more troublesome when we’re applying products that contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can wreak havoc on our hormones and our entire immune system.

In the effort to lead a healthy, balanced lifestyle, we highly recommend making the switch to natural products wherever you can. And to make life a little easier, here are some of my favorite (personally-vetted) products that I use each and every day!
