As a new mom in 2009, I was shocked to learn about the toxins in my home and how they can harm my family and pets.

This book includes everything you need to know, organized in simple action steps, to clean out the toxins from your home and make it safe for you and your especially your kids. WITH THIS BOOK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO: --> Get rid of the toxins in your home once and for all, without the stress and overwhelm --> Make your own recipes (more than 80 of them) OR buy safe products (if you're not into DIY) --> Empower yourself with knowledge about the toxins in our products and how to avoid them --> Feel confident as you create a safe and natural home for you and your loved ones --> Clean out the toxins step by step - go at your own pace! THIS BEAUTIFUL, COLORFUL AND EASY TO READ BOOK INCLUDES: --> More than 80 DIY recipes using simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar and essential oils --> Shopping lists for each area of your home for those recipes --> Lists of SAFE store-bought products to purchase if you're not a DIY person --> Research on the toxins in our products and how they affect our health. WHY DOES ANY OF THIS MATTER? Because our governments are not protecting us from toxins in our products and food. The last time the FDA passed a chemical regulations act was in 1976 and they haven't updated it since! More than 150,000 chemicals have been introduced to the market since then that have not been tested for safety. Chemicals are considered innocent until proven guilty - many of them aren't banned until people start getting sick. We are quite literally, human experiments and this affects the smallest amount us the most - our children. Toxins abound in our cleaning products, bath and body products and cosmetics. More than 232 chemicals are found in the cord blood of infants! Most companies will use the cheapest ingredients they can source and manufacture, not giving much thought to our health and safety, especially that of our children. Is it any wonder that we are seeing more children with compromised health? ADD, ADHD, so many with food allergies, eczema, behavioral disorders - it's time to take the power back in your hands and empower yourself with knowledge so we can raise healthy families! Even our pets are affected by these chemicals as they walk on our floors that are sprayed with toxins and they enter their bodies through their paws.

Download or read book Organic Homemade Lotion Recipes written by Jasmine Wood and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first step in picking out the correct products and in making homemade creams and a lotion is to use something that's right for you. Depending on your age, diet and genetics you will primarily fall into one of the following 5 skin types: 1. Normal Skin The simplest to maintain normal skin has little to no oily spots, maintains regular circulation with little to no trouble spots. It's fairly elastic and looks healthy with very little make-up and attention. 2. Oily Skin Most prone to breakouts, the trouble zones are usually in the T zone of your face (forehead, nose and chin); oily skin tends to have oversized pores and can look greasy or shiny. With the right creams and proper diet its oil levels can be maintained. Oily skin tends not to have much wrinkling or aging. 3. Dry Skin Most people with dry skin feel tightness after washing their face and easily flake around the mouth and nose with dry spots. Dry skin is prone to aging and wrinkling and it's important to properly moisturize and nourish it regularly. 4. Sensitive Skin The sensitive skin type becomes irritated easily, gets red and dry spots and breaks out easily. This skin type is like a historical map - it tends to wear all of its battles for all to see. The type of creams and lotions applied on sensitive skin is extremely important as an irritation or reaction can occur with certain ingredients and chemicals. 5. Combination Skin The most common skin type in women, combination skin is both oily and dry. Combination skin tends to be dry on the cheeks and around the eyes and oily spots on the forehead and nose. IT requires more cleansing in the oily areas and sensitive creams without too much oil in the dry areas. In this guide we focus on the three extreme skin cases grouping normal, combination and sensitive into a Sensitive Category. Because combination and normal skin is the most adaptable to most products, anything created for sensitive skin will only promote health and the look of younger, suppler skin with a clear complexion. The other two are oily and dry skin types.

Download or read book Russian Magic written by Cherry Gilchrist and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of Russia, old ways of perceiving the spirits of home and nature still prevail. Fairy stories, folk art, and calendar customs carry hints of the old gods and offer a now rare way of linking human life to the landscape. This is as true for city dwellers and villagers, for the Russian soul is open to the power of myth and the mysteries of the universe. This book explains how Russia's concept of soul ("dusha") and sensitivity to the landscape extends to archaeologists, scientists, and doctors in Russia, who retain an open-minded approach and a keen interest in psychic phenomena, along with folk traditions and faith healing. Author Cherry Gilchrist has traveled often to Russia and researched its traditional lore, gaining knowledge she interweaves into this book. She blends that first-hand knowledge with serious research to paint a lively picture of these remarkable magical traditions and their enduring power.
