Clean Living Resources
Are you just getting started on your journey to a safer, more natural home and lifestyle and finding it overwhelming? We know the feeling!
As they say, “Worried mothers do better research than the FBI” – and that’s exactly why we started Better Safer Living Inc. ! We are very picky with the products we use within our homes, for our families, and recommend. Some of our tips include:
-
Breathing, not stressing over what we can't control and knowing small steps, make big changes
-
Avoiding hidden chemicals in daily products
-
Filtering your water to get the healthiest drinking water option available
-
Greening your cleaning products to where you NEVER have to buy cleaning supplies again
-
Ditching toxic plastics and opt for more glass and stainless steel. Ditch disposables like bottle water, plastic food containers and choose non- toxic reusable food storage items.
-
Choosing fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables over cans lined with BPA
-
Choosing organic and local meats
-
Avoid PVC products to reduce exposure to lead, phthalates and other volatile organic compounds (VOC’s)
-
Consider making your yard non-toxic, especially by getting rid of the Round Up and weed killers, non-toxic bug control
-
Take your shoes off at the door
-
Understanding and knowing which supplements you need and their SCOURCES
-
Exercise more, just 20 minutes a day of movement and stretching is impactful
-
Build your “pit crew" of support and knowledgeable people who live this lifestyle
