Now that summer is almost here, farmer's markets are overflowing with gorgeous greens and succulent fruits. Food truly is medicine, and eating mostly plant-based, clean, whole foods is the most wonderful form of self-care! It's a great time to try new veggies, cook easy breezy summer dishes and ditch processed and packaged foods. Read on for my Quinoa Tomato Basil Scramble recipe, how to get your bikini body on with me and how to win a free 100% toxin-free sunscreen.
I'm a huge believer in removing known inflammatory "foods" like sugar and bad fats and eating organic to eliminate insidious chemicals, antibiotics and preservatives. That's why I created a simple 5-Day Detox just for you, designed to help you make beautiful meals from easy whole foods recipes.
BUT I'm going to be totally honest. I've been resistant to change my household and body products. I've been brand-loyal to big, well-known (and toxic) products for decades. However, recently, I learned:
So, what did I do? Oy! I bought Method and Seventh Generation products thinking I was doing my family good. NOT SO FAST... Even the word "fragrance," found on most packages, is a catch-all term that hides an untold number of chemicals, a trade secret without transparency and full disclosure.

PURE SKIN IS IN!
After much research, ordering and scrutinizing, I found beautiful, 100% toxin free products from Pure Haven. I totally trust and love them, especially the household cleaning products. They're so pure you can eat them, though I wouldn't advise doing that. I am SO not a sales person. But, the products work, smell divine from essential oils, and are freshly made to order since they have no preservatives. I chose to be a consultant with them because the products have integrity. Full disclosure, I do get a small percentage from orders. Check them out here to learn more, and use my number, 25563, so I'll know you're a customer. Feel free to write me with any questions. And see below for a freebie from me.)

BUT I'm going to be totally honest. I've been resistant to change my household and body products. I've been brand-loyal to big, well-known (and toxic) products for decades. However, recently, I learned:
- There's chemical residue on our clothes from commercial detergent like my formerly beloved Tide, not to mention the chemicals it sends into our waters and soil.
- The steam that gives me a facial when I open the dishwasher is loaded with toxins.
- Our skin is like a big mouth, absorbing many of the toxins it touches.
- Environmental toxin exposures can cause cancer, endocrine disruption, nerve damage and immune system upheaval.
So, what did I do? Oy! I bought Method and Seventh Generation products thinking I was doing my family good. NOT SO FAST... Even the word "fragrance," found on most packages, is a catch-all term that hides an untold number of chemicals, a trade secret without transparency and full disclosure.
