My Chemical Shower

It's time for my shower filter to be replaced and I just can't wait to get it! My skin and hair are so soft and smooth when the chlorine is not in the water!

I didn't used to be concerned about chlorine or other chemicals in my water, until I read that chlorine can be toxic to your thyroid and that our bodies absorb more chlorine (and other chems) in the shower than from drinking water! I guess it makes sense our skin soaks up anything we put on it and it's the largest organ of the body! Since then, I've found that chlorine can aggravate asthma, contribute to heart disease and even cause cancers. Yikes!

What's in My Ice Box?

Au'rai, so this is it, my ice box! This photo was taken last week after I got home from the farm market. Check out the details below.

A beautiful sight! Makoa's waiting in his spot, hoping to get a treat!

What You Know about Plastic?

Some kine plastics can "leach" or off gas bad chemicals and nasty stuff into your food, beverages, personal products and so forth.

There are lots of reasons to ditch the plastic bottles and switch to glass (or another safe alternative like stainless steel or something with an enamel or ceramic coating):

• Things taste better when they come out of a glass!
• You save $$$ not buying bottled water or other drinks.
• Some plastics are hard to recycle.
• If you throw them away they end up in landfills or as litter!
• There's already a LOT of plastic and it never goes away it just gets smaller and can end up being eaten by wildlife (including the kine we eat!) or killing the wildlife.
• Plastics are dangerous for you! 
• It's easy!

So stop making excuses and make the switch! Find a bottle you like and get started!
