My Menards Trip
As I stood in line at Menards yesterday to get some paint matched for my dresser I saw these sitting on the counter: A new Glade scent to add to paint to improve the smell.
I do not understand why they sell an artificial toxic scent to mask the smell of toxic chemicals in paint? It’s adding more toxins to an already toxic substance. They DO make chemical free paint. You just have to seek it out or ask for it! We used no VOC paint throughout our house in Brooklyn Park when I was married. No smell and it didn't sting my eyes or give me a headache! Always search out the more natural option whether it be skin care products, cleaning products, or anything else! Vote with your dollar- the more natural and organic products you buy, the more they will produce! They may cost more money from the start but you are investing in your health and the environment!
Here are a few non-toxic and eco-friendly paint brands:
Safecoat
Yolo
EcoTrend
Benjamin Moore Natura
Marston & Langinger
Mythic Paint
Devine

The rain helps wash away impurities, dirt and trash left over from the winter snow. Running outside in the rain is very rejuvenating for me!
