Simple Ways to Live Lower Tox That Won’t Break the Bank!

November 12, 2021 by Natalie

It can sometimes feel overwhelming when trying to make the switch to cleaner living. Here are a few simple tips to help you live a lower-tox life that won’t break the bank!

– Take your shoes off at home: those little soles track in not only dirt, but all those environmental toxins we encounter each day from pesticides to motor oil, heavy metals + more. (Especially important for those little kiddos crawling around on the floor!)


– Put your phone on airplane mode at night: 8ish hours of that thing off is 1/3 of your life with less EMFs! It simply can’t hurt. 


– Switch from plastic to glass food containers: better for you AND our earth.


– Ditch that nonstick cookware: cast iron + stainless steel are my personal faves.


– Switch to an aluminum-free deo: if you’ve tried a “natural” deo and didn’t like it, keep trying- there are some great ones out there. Psst: a little charcoal in those pits may help too!


– Choose safe sunscreens: mineral/physical sunscreens, which sit on the surface of your skin (often made with zinc), are safer than chemical  sunscreens, which penetrate the skin. look for benzene-free + reef-safe. 


– Opt organic, when possible: use EWG’s (Environmental Working Group) Dirty Dozen + Clean Fifteen lists to help you!

– Avoid the word fragrance: all those “parfums” “perfumes” and “fragrances” that sneak into our personal care products, scented candles, air fresheners, laundry detergents, etc. are chock-full of phthalates and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals. your nose may like them, but your body does not. 


If you’d like help with any of these, I’m here for you! ♡

XO,

Natalie
