We think about what goes IN our body...but,

So anyone who knows me, knows that I continually think about food! Lol! What new creation can I create? What new recipe can I try? How can I incorporate healthy ingredients without my kiddos knowing? Lol! So I'm always thinking about what goes IN to our bodies, but what about what goes ON our bodies? 

Have you ever given it much thought? Once I realized that I didn't want large corporations controlling what foods I eat or what foods I give to my family, I rarely stopped to think about toothpaste, body sprays, deodorant, makeup, nail polish, shampoo, all of those things we use every single day. Those products add up! So, I sure don't want some large corporation telling me it's all safe! I needed to do a bit more research! When I was subbing at a local preschool the other day, I was talking to the other teacher, who told me a lot about what products she uses! That's is, I'm on a mission!

I set off on a quest, well, not a physical quest! Lol! (Although I did end up at Jo-Ann's perusing through their book section! 😉) Anyway, I searched Pinterest and found an awesome person to follow! Great ideas for diy-ers! Although upon further investigation, who am I kidding? Like I have time to make everything we use for a family of five on a daily basis! I'm a full time mom and wife, farmer, small business owner, a full time college student, work part time at a preschool, volunteer at my kids school and am head chauffeur to my children and their never ending list of sports and activities that keep us on the go! So, I set back out on my quest once again to find a reliable, reputable source for organic products that we will use!

Lo & behold, what did I find? The person I was following on Pinterest had a shop! Not only that, but it was fairly local! All products are made in small batches as well. So after shopping her website, I filled my cart with goodies and proceeded to checkout! Two days later, I found my mailbox full! It's like Christmas!!!! I am so excited to try all of my new goodies! I will keep you all updated!!! I'm anxious to try everything out! 

So, even if you don't go all out organic, like we are, look up your ingredients! Question your foods, your products and more! Get out there & make the world a better place!
