About me

Introduction In 2011 I began my detox. That is, I committed to detoxify my home over the next few years. I am passionate about finding safe, natural, non-toxic cleaning products and cosmetics that ACTUALLY WORK! I am a self-described brand-snob. I love Dermalogica, Prescriptives, Smashbox, Laura Mercier, Kiehls, & Murad--I dont' know what I'll do if I find out my Lancome Mascara is toxic! I do not like heavy fragrances in my cosmetics, so I have always used products that are "fragrance-free", "all-natural", "organic", "vegan"...however, I have recently discovered that even some of these products contain harsh chemicals that, while approved by the FDA, are labeled as "causes reproductive & system toxicity" and "causes cancer". I have decided that I am going to go through my products one at a time. If I determine that any of the ingredients do not pass my "non-toxic" test, I will journey to find a suitable, high-quality replacement. I am not an expert. But in my research, I have learned some AMAZING things. I will post them here...and you are welcome to join me on my journey.
