Is it time to make the switch?

Change is a constant, but knowing when to make a move can be tricky.

Especially when it comes to switching out your personal care and household products. 

If you feel like your current products are not helping but also might be adding to your health concerns, it might just be time to switch gears.

When I made the switch like 14 years ago, I was hardcore about it. 

I grabbed a garbage bag and threw EVERYTHING out. 

And I mean EVERYTHING. 

I don’t regret one second of it BUT I do recognize that method is not for most people. 

Here’s what I recommend…

1️⃣ Start with the products you use on a daily basis. (soap, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion etc). 

2️⃣ Use the app Think Dirty to see what your products have in them. It gives them a rating, tells you what each ingredient is and what it may be doing to your body and gives healthier recommendations (if necessary)

3️⃣ Then you can either get rid of something that is not serving you OR finish it out and have a healthier version on deck, ready to go.

I would say this depends on the severity of what you find out is in the product. For example, let’s say you are having respiratory issues and you see that a lotion you are putting on every day has an ingredient that is known to cause respiratory issues, get a new lotion. It just ain’t worth it. 

4️⃣ Next, move on to products that you use weekly, repeat the process until you have slowly but surely switched out the products in your home. 

Need help with this still?
