Going Crunchy…from Conventional to Whole

Vitamama {who is my friend IRL} is doing a series on how to go “crunchy.” This girl knows her stuff…from What to Eat, What you Breathe {including cleaning products} and What you put on your Skin.

Don’t get overwhelmed like I did at first. She has told me to take baby steps. So slowly, we’ve been trying to eat organic. I spend about the same amount at Trader Joe’s as I would at Walmart, but I’m not buying all the processed stuff. I’ve slowly switched my toothpaste to Tom’s of Maine. I bought some deodorant without aluminum from Bunny Butt Apothecary. I actually found some shampoo and conditioner at Walmart that is paraben free and sulfate free. I do the best that I can with what I’ve got and make changes as needed when I’m able to. I don’t want to shock my family…so I’ve slowly integrated things in…and I’m still working at it.

Ummm..NOT to say I didn’t eat a pack of Ranch Doritos yesterday with my turkey wrap and down a coke. Every once in awhile you just need to drink a coke! and eat some doritos. and have dark chocolate M&M’s for dessert.

Go visit my friend, Vita Mama and read all about her story…ask her questions. She’s super helpful and very friendly and she likes red wine and Twilight. That’s all.
