I am not too "organic" of a person. Yes, I recycle. I use cloth shopping bags. I try to use less gas. But you know, sometimes I just get a craving for a Happy Meal & I do drink a share of soda everyday.
Since I have been off of work, I have started thinking about some things & some health issues I have known about for awhile but didn't know what to do about. Well, I've had big changes for about a month now, & I am doing SSOOOO much better! There are 2 categories of changes I want to make & have been making. Health & Personal needs.
Health:
The smallest change in scope but the biggest healthy feeling has (SHOCKINGLY) been DEODORANT. I switched from Secret (my old old standby) to natural deodorant, & I feel a MILLION times better. Now, I'm not preaching for y'all to clear a Tom's deodorant shelf. For sure, keep using Secret & stuff. It's just a personal health culprit that I wondered about, & it WORKED for me. YEARS of pain soooo much better because I am not exposed to the aluminum.
On that metal note, I am working right now (slowly due to costs) to switch over to class, ceramic, & stone cookware & NO MORE Gladware (OMG I used so much Gladware before). Only TUPPERWARE (BPA free) & GLASS storage. No more metal pans.
I'm using flax seed & making myself drink "some" water (BRITA filtered. I have always have just grabbed a quick cup from of the tap, but I need to try to eliminate as much metal exposure as I can). Trying to cut down on my soda love.
I am making a conscious effort to use less paper towels (just something I wanted to do to cut down waste) & more lipbalm & more bar hand soap instead of so much anti-bacterial. I do still have anti-bac next to the sink & use it when I "need" to, but when I just need to wash, I grab the regular soap.
Personal:
More writing, reading, manicures, school effort, & coupons.
