Holistic Health by Joanne Augusto
Non-Toxic Spring Cleaning
Most consumers are unaware of the dangers that might be in their cleaning products. The average household contains more than 62 toxic chemicals, say environmental experts. Ingredients in common household products have been linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive disorders, hormone disruption and neurotoxicity.

Combine these chemicals with synthetic fragrance from room fresheners and candles and your air pollution could be harming your health.
I always suggest taking all chemical cleaners and fragrance out of your home and open up windows to begin any health program. The air we breath in our home and work environment is critical to our overall health.
I have found that using natural cleaning products not only made me breath easier but left my home smelling better than before.
If you are using a misting type air freshener an essential oil diffuser might be a healthier alternative. Also using Himalayan salt lamps and plants also improve your indoor air quality.
Most natural cleaning products use these main ingredients. Baking soda, vinegar, coconut oil, lemon oil and tea tree oil. Once you stock up on the basics you will find that going natural not only saves your health but your pocket book as well. H ere are a few recipes I use to clean and freshen the air in my home.
Window cleaner: 1/2 cup vinegar with one gallon of water.
Furniture polish: One cup of coconut oil and ten drops of lemon oil. You could also use MCT oil for a lighter application but it is more expensive.
Tile floor cleaner: 1cup vinegar to one cup water. No rinsing required. (I love adding peppermint oil to cut the vinegar smell. If you add tea tree oil you will add a disinfectant quality.
Toilet cleaner: 1/4 cup baking soda to 1/2 cup vinegar. A little pure Castile soap is sometimes necessary for stubborn messes.
Granite: In a spray bottle prepare with one cup water to one cup vodka or rubbing alcohol a squirt of Castile soap and 10 drops of tea tree oil.

Praise Worthy, in Our Community Along my travels, there is always a silver lining. What a beauty Gianna is! Thank you to her dad for sharing.
amaphotodesign So, this is not one of my usual posts where either I put a quote or I write something funny attached to a picture. When I saw this little girl for the very first time, I was seriously touched for so many reasons, but I was also inspired to see this little Super Star Athlete hit that mat without any complaints and just give it her all and perform! See, many of us go through life complaining about the adversities, bumps or obstacles life throws our way or sometimes just complain about dumb shit, and waste your time complaining about the things you don’t have instead of appreciating the things you do have! Let this little Cheerleader inspire you to work just as hard as she does!
