Welcome to the month of June!

Our theme this month is SUMMER LOVIN': Eating + Living Consciously. Since this month is also the official start of Summer, we are getting into the Summer vibe in being conscious of what you use through personal care, beauty as well as what you eat.

We all want to live a healthy life. Our body is the source of living. With that, it's important that we are more mindful about the products we are using within our household, our personal care and beauty.

There are over 10,000 unique chemical ingredients used in our personal care products. Studies estimate that the average woman applies 126 different chemicals each morning, with some of them not even listed on the packaging. Everything from mascara, deodorant toothpaste and moisturizer.

Some of these chemicals can be known as carcinogens, toxic for our bodies and are ones that are toxic to women's reproductive systems. How does that all even make sense? We are using products on our body to make us feel better, not to make us feel worse.

I personally started to pay much more attention to what we were using without our household and my personal products when I was pregnant with my son. It was apparent that we needed to become more aware with what we products we were cleaning with, what foods we were eating and how we were eating them and what beauty products I use - being mindful that they are all much more natural.

This month, my intention is to help bring more awareness with how we can integrate a more non-toxic lifestyle, to FEEL good and be encouraged when we take even small steps into living more consciously. The resources + tools we will provide you throughout the month are there for you to integrate into your daily life.

Tell me, what does living consciously look like to you?

Making the Switch

This week, have a look at all your beauty and personal care products. If there is anything that you are running low on ask yourself to see if you are open to changing it up for a more non-toxic alternative?
If you want any other clean tips, check out our blog on the website on 5 ways that we've gone more non-toxic in our home. One of them which I just did was replacing my deodorant just this last week to a more natural, non-toxic (aluminum-free) brand.

Video Chat: Living Clean w/ Lauren Breiding

It is so helpful talking with Lauren all about Clean Living. We talk about the do's and don'ts on what products to purchase and also how we can start moving towards toxic-free homes.

Lauren's motto, is something we also believe in, which is to do everything in moderation and swapping one product at a time rather than feeling so overwhelmed of where to start.
