One place where toxins and chemicals linger is in our body care products: makeup, shampoos, hair sprays, lotions, toothpastes, deodorants, shave cream, hair gels, perfume, nail polish, makeup removers, sunscreens, and more!
Women can often be more toxic than men because of how much we slather on ourselves on a daily basis! You should be able to literally EAT what you put on your skin! Our skin is our largest organ and will absorb what we put on it.
Check out this database by the Environmental Working Group called Skin Deep. You can even download an app on your smart phone! You can search the products you are using and it will give the products a rating from 0-10 on how safe they are to use and why. A rating with 0 is the best and 10 is the worst.

Boy, I'm glad we are not exchanging gifts this year! Christmas shopping has always been a stressful time for me because I never know what to buy anyone!! This year we are going to Florida over New Year's for my younger brother's wedding so we opted out of gifts this year in exchange for a little sun and fun!! LOL!
I decided to plan a fun gift making event for December that incorporates the "toxin" aspect of my business! I found the perfect space to have it and would love for you to join me!
Here are the details:

Supreme Kitchens 2230 33rd St. Suite 7 Spirit Lake, Iowa 51360

Toxins are everywhere! According to the EPA, our indoor environment is 2 - 5 times more toxic than our outdoor environment!!
They lurk in processed foods, medications, bathrooms, Teflon cookware, tap water, makeup, skin, hair, body care products, laundry/cleaning and even on your lawn! Body care products are not regulated and contain ingredients that are linked to: allergies, asthma, ADD, cancer, disease, weight gain, migraines, inflammation, rashes, and more...
Why not give a "clean, " non-toxic, chemical-free personalized gift this year? As you may know you literally EAT what you put on your skin!! Here are a few options you can choose from at the workshop! All the products contain few ingredients and are completely NATURAL! I will have all the supplies we need, you just need to bring yourself and a few friends! Get all your holiday shopping done in one day! No crowded lines and crabby people! LOL! This is a hands-on class where you will be making your own natural products!

Skin is the largest organ on the human body. It acts as a shield to the elements, helps with detoxification, protects our tissue and other organs, and even reflects our inner health by showing stress, tension, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies. Since it is so important we need to protect it and not slather it with toxins and chemicals day in and day out!
Think about how many toxins you are putting on your skin every day if you use commercialized products: toothpaste, deoderant, shampoo, conditioner, face cream, makeup, lotion, perfume, fingernail polish, shave gel, body wash, hair styling products, and the list could go on and on!!!
Here are some great organic gift ideas under $20 from a local company called Organic Aah that I highly recommend. Give the gift of health this holiday season! Your loved ones will thank you!
