Other Lifestyle Changes

Sometime last fall, a book was recommended to me by my cousin, so I ordered it. And never read it. I was just too busy. After Christmas break, I decided to get the book out and I finally started reading...and was thinking "oh my goodness, we need to make some serious changes".

Most of the things in the book are over the foods we eat and how they could contribute to cancer or prevent it. So that is where some of our changes really started. 

I have since read numerous other articles and we started changing other things too. Sunscreen, bug spray, shampoo/conditioner, hand soap, shower soap, dish soap, laundry soap, deodorant and the list goes on. I never realized how much some of these cancer causing chemicals can be easily absorbed into our skin, especially in areas like our arm pits. Oh and the diapers, but that is another post.

I recently switched from my regular deodorant to an all-natural one and had a reaction to the baking soda in the product. I then tried their sensitive version and had similar results, so I finally settled on Toms of Maine and love it. Kyle now uses it too. 

This is just one of the many articles that explains why I will no longer buy regular deodorant and no one in my house will either. One thing suggested by the first product I tried was an arm pit detox. After the reaction and peeling I had from the first trial, I think I pretty much detoxed and have all new skin under my arms! :)
