Before getting pregnant my husband and I decided to do a complete detox in order to give our baby the best possible start in life. Since then a number of our friends have been curious about the process that we went through, which prompted me to start this blog. There will also be parenting tips about how to enjoy (and afford) an organic family life.

Watch This!
And then tell me what you think... what products will you stop buying so that THEY will stop making them?
Scary right? I use EWG.org's database all the time.
I have switched to truly natural products. I use water based nail polish (Honeybee Gardens), made in Texas natural make up (Everyday Minerals), and all the body washes and such I use are also natural and largely certified organic.
I love the video. Informative AND entertaining. Although I have found some of these organic beauty products do contain chemicals. VOC test at .01 ppm is a gret way for a company to prove they are pure. I hope consumer demand will make companies run this $110 test on their products and post for consumers like we did. I hope that I can also get info out there. Carpet is the most contaminated thing in the average American Home, the mattress is number 2. Organic mattresses are in high demand due to consumers learning about the toxic effects of the pthalates and other chemicals in mattresses. However so far, there is a huge discrepancy in how organic a mattress is. Only 1 company, mine, can provide clean test results of their mattress. Also I want peopel to know, that if you have carpet, there is a company making a barrier to protect you from those toxic fumes. It is AFM Safecoat. I used them to seal my carpet.
