Monday Moment - Are you givinig Toxic Stocking Stuffers?

This post was shared on facebook by  Katrina Teterekidis and I wanted to share it in full,  As I think my office if "hand sanitizer" crazy.  

Readying through this post I think of my niece, she is using hand sanitizer constantly and now I'm wondering if it is a "trigger" for her migraines.    I know that she picks them if she like the scent.  I'm working on getting her moved over to the healthier Jordan Essentials hand sanitizer.

🎁If I could encourage you to do ONE thing this holiday season, it would be to stop buying this stuff for kids, grand babies, nieces, or ANYONE on your list.

🍥The bath bombs.
🍥The colorful hand sanitizer.
🍥The sparkly bath gel.
🍥The hand lotion.
🍥The makeup

Allergies. Eczema. Migraines. UTIs. Hyperactivity. Infertility. Hormone disrupters. Cancer.

So many of the ingredients in these products are linked to these. And they're totally normalized in our culture.👎

$2.75 sounds like a great price point for stocking fillers ....be careful with all the hidden side effects

The NICNAS & TGA are doing NOTHING to test the safety of the products we use daily in our homes on our most precious babes. #sadbuttrue

💚So please, just like you do with food, take a moment to read the ingredients before you put these in your cart, because what goes ON the body, ON the largest organ, our skin goes IN the body.🧐

Here's your cheat sheet of what to start avoiding:

🔘DEA/MEA/TEA
🔘Fragrance/Parfum
🔘Methylisothiazolinone (MIT)
🔘Parabens
🔘PEGs (of any kind)
🔘Petroleum & Petroleum byproducts
🔘Propylene Glycol
🔘Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
🔘Synthetic colors & dyes( all the numbers)

I believe in using safe options and empowering you with the knowledge to either make your own personal care products or how to select safer options. Just ask 🤗

Just wanted to call for HELP

Ever have one of those days when you just want to scream and call for help.   Had one of those this afternoon.  Was making the usual runs for work, and noticed that I was running low on gas.   Thought,  ummm I should leave this to hubby to fill up.  Should have listened to myself.

But knowing that I have a meeting tonight across town, with rain moving in,  so was pretty sure that I would be coming home on fumes. So decision made.  Stopped at the gas station to put some gas in.  

Put the nozzle in and started filling up there was a blast of pressure that forced the hose out and all over my hands, car, tires and ground.   Don't know how I missed getting it on my clothes.   But luckily I did.    What a mess.

I'm one of those that can NOT STAND the smell of gasoline.   Grumbled  about how I would have been better off coming home on fumes and left this mess for hubby.   I did remember the Jordan Essentials Hand Sanitizer that I had in the van and quickly was able to wash away most of the smell.    Immediately felt better,  then felt even better when I pulled up at work, handed hubby the keys and said he needed to get all the gasoline off my car.    He just looked at me and shook his head.   Guess next time he drives my vehicle he'll remember to put some gas in it, so I don't have too!
