I am a 40-year-old, mom of three boys, just trying to live my best life. I take pride in leading my family in making healthy lifestyle choices. I have always been interested in Health and wellness; however, my knowledge was limited to food and exercise up until ten years ago. It all started when my husband and I decided we were going to try to have a baby.
At that point I started reading book after book about things to avoid during pregnancy.
This led me down a very deep rabbit hole to realize that there were a lot of products in my home, that I was exposing myself to that were not safe.
This was my a-ha moment that I was not actually living a clean life. One surprise to me was how unregulated the cosmetic industry is. Did you know that the US has only restricted or banned thirty chemicals from cosmetics and the EU has banned almost 1,400.
The past ten years have been a journey to find different avenues to health and wellness. I have spent endless hours reading articles, books, and listening to podcasts. I always say that I wish I knew 20 years ago, what I know today.
I am writing this blog to combine all the knowledge I have attained over the last ten years that have resonated with me personally. Some things may resonate with you and others will not. I encourage you to take what resonates with you personally and apply it to your lifestyle.
