i went on a health deep dive a few years ago that truly changed my life. i had pushed it off for so long, thinking that it would be expensive or complicated. spoiler alert: it wasn't either. after i found a few resources to reference, companies i could trust, and DIYs to keep it cheap, it made the switch so simple. which is why i am passionate about it today! i am a firm believer that making better decisions for your health can be as simple as you let it be. i can't tell you how much my health has improved since switching toxins, eating better, and using natural remedies in our day-to-day.
start by scanning & searching the products you currently use. head to the EWG database to do so! if you want a great resource on your phone. i would definitely recommend the Yuka app. it scans products and foods to help you make better choices when you're at the store.
after that, don't panic! that's where the fun begins. i would definitely recommend taking it one step at a time. no need to rush the process or break the bank! simply replace your household items as you run out of what you already have. when i was at this part in the process, that's when i found Young Living. I grabbed a box of oils to see if i could get some of my daily problems out of the way (like head tension). i fell in loveeee. oils make it SO easy to ditch toxy candles! not to mention the millions of ways you can use them in day-to-day life.
anddd that's when i discovered the holy grail of non-tox switches: thieves household cleaner. this one cleaner cleans EVERYTHING in our home. seriously. i went from 10 cleaner bottles to 1 in a day. it not only works for everything, but it's also super effective, cost-efficient, non-toxic (obviously), and smells amazing! starting with thieves cleaner & oils mad me feel like i already finished half the switching process.
now, i use oils for everything. head tension, mood boosting, cleaning, clearing the air, hormones, sniffles, sleep, hair growth... you name it! they have changed the game for us. if you want to grab some to try for yourself, i'll show ya the ropes. but first...
their commitment to quality is unmatched. check out their Seed to Seal promise. I ditched the cheap oils because I found out how diluted they are, hence why they're so much cheaper! you get what you pay for when it comes to oils, so it's worth getting the good stuff.
it doesn't just stop when you get your oils in the mail. you will join a fam of pals that have tried all the DIYs and are eager to share! from our goldmine of a fb group, to weekly zooms, and answers to every question you have, we'll have you covered!
