When people buy "green" beauty products, they expect they're not going to contain harmful toxins and known carcinogens! A consumer watchdog group recently tested more than 80 green beauty cosmetics for the presence of organic fluorine, an indicator of toxic PFAS "forever chemicals." They're called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down in our bodies or the environment. PFAS are a class of thousands of mostly unregulated chemicals linked to cancers, cardiovascular disease, immune problems, reproductive issues and more, even at ultra-low levels in the single digit parts per trillion. This report found even higher ranges in green cosmetics in the parts per million, starting at 10 ppm. READ: https://tinyurl.com/PFASbeauty

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud - Daffodils
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

I have been trying to “ground” myself as much as possible. I have always loved walking barefoot, didn’t know it was soooo good for me. Took a walk on Clearwater Beach today. 😎

I love to work in my garden and play in the dirt, bare handed. It makes me happy!

The Healthy Soil Healthy You Connection:
So WHY should we care about microbes? Microbes help to strengthen our immune system. How do we get more microbes in our body? One way is through ‘eating wild’ - consuming more living food from nutrient-dense soil will help create more biodiversity in our gut! The hunter-gather diet (a million year old diet) still practiced by the Hazda Tribe in Tanzania is showing scientists that by simply eating what is available off the land - including fruits that are super-rich in fiber and polyphenols, natural fats from seeds and leaner meats such as bird, small animals and wild game, the microbial diversity in our body can indeed change IN AS LITTLE AS THREE DAYS!

Sometimes you just need a good cookie. I have made my CPS Butter Cookies using all organic ingredients. They still taste delicious!!!

I am on a journey to living an organic, clean and green life and loving it! I would love to have you join me on this journey. Together we can reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

I have become aware of all the harmful effects of all the chemicals we are exposed to in our daily lives and have started to make changes in my life to lessen the exposure. Small changes at first but compounded they make a big difference. Let me share with you what I have learned on my journey and you can share with me your journey.
