Thank you for visiting De-Junk My Life! I have been thinking of making a blog like this for a little while now and this morning (4:00 a.m.!) well, I can't sleep so I decided to do something productive and get started on this blog!
The idea behind De-Junk My Life came to me because over the last year and a half I have learned a lot about what is actually in the products I buy for my family. Since my daughter was born, four years ago, I have always researched what the healthiest products are for her age. I followed websites, blogs, magazines and her doctor's advice to raise a healthy baby. Even with all that research, it wasn't until I watched Food Inc. and then later, Genetic Roulette that I learned of what is really in the food I was giving her and in the lotions and soaps I was using for her.
Thankfully, I had learned about formaldehyde and other chemicals in bath and body products when she was very small. I was upset and surprised at how many potentially dangerous ingredients I was exposing her to without my knowledge. Some of these things I have known about longer than a year and a half but here are most the items I am working to remove from our lives:
* Genetically Modified Organisms (sometimes refered to as Genetically Modified Ingredients)
*"Frankenwheat"
* Roundup
* Pesticides
* Contaminated meat/poultry
* Chemicals in bath and body products
Like I said, it is EARLY in the morning and I feel like I have forgotten something! Oh well, I am sure it will come up as blog about my journey. If you decide to join me, leave a comment and let me know!
Thanks again for visiting De-Junk My Life!
