Non Toxic Everything?

+ non toxic laundry scent booster recipe

Transitioning to non toxic living can feel a bit overwhelming at times, but always remember that this is a transition that happens slowly over time with small changes in your purchasing habits. Be patient with yourself. Here are 3 recent non toxic swaps. 

3 Recent Non Toxic Purchases  

will report back soon

#1 100% Organic Linen Sheets 

Okay, these were pricey. My husband generally goes along with the plethora of non toxic purchases I make monthly (more like weekly if we are being honest) BUT these he questioned. Are $600 sheets really necessary? 

The answer is probably no; however, sleeping on linen sheets is such a luxury so I couldn’t help myself!! You spend 8-10 hours a day in your bed after all… 

Nonetheless, you should be sleeping on organic sheets (whether they are cotton or linen). 

You can definitely find much more affordable organic cotton options. These are a great option. 

#2  Molly Suds Washing Machine Cleaner 

Black mold can hide and thrive in your washing machine. It can be a serious health risk, as well as damage your clothes. You should regularly clean your washing machine. A simple but effective method of cleaning is adding 1 cup of white vinegar on the hottest cycle. This non toxic washing machine cleaner has been recommend for tougher odors and grime. 

If you haven’t already, you should try this non toxic laundry detergent. You may be hesitant because you are concerned that it won’t remove stains as effectively or your clothes won’t smell as fresh, both of which are not true. This non toxic laundry detergent works just as well if not better on stains. You also have the option of choosing a non toxic laundry detergent that is scented with essentials oils instead of toxic hormone disrupting chemicals. 

If you want an extra scent boost, here is an easy non toxic laundry scent booster recipe. 

#3  Tallow Body & Lip

As a recovering Vaseline addict, this order is very exciting. I have been on the hunt for the cleanest and most nourishing lip balm!

Tallow is filled with vitamins and minerals; it is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antifungal. This beef tallow is from 100% grass-fed cows and only has 2 ingredients (tallow and organic olive oil). It has been used for centuries (dating back to the Romans and ancient Egyptians) as a miracle moisturizing agent - known to heal burns, scrapes and various ailments (including dry/cracked skin, rashes and Eczema).

Excited to report back! 

Until next time,
