a few small changes
i came across the environmental working group's website last year. after about fifteen minutes reading through it i went on a rampage through my house tossing bottles of shampoo and cleaning supplies. there is always more we can change to make our homes healthier (i'll get into that a different day) but it really doesn't take much to change what we put on our skin. the rule of thumb is if you wouldn't eat it, it shouldn't go on your skin. i haven't gone that far but there are a few products that are pretty well rated on the ewg's skin deep i've been using for the last six months or so that i thought i'd share.
i grew up in california and was never really told (sorry mom) how important it is to wear sunscreen. my friends and i would ride our bike to the beach after school and douse ourselves with hawaiian tropic. i'm definitely paying for it now! i've used many sunscreens but a facialist recommended the suntegrity line. it smells delicious and has no oxybenzone. for elodie, i use badger baby sunscreen. it takes a bit of elbow grease to rub in but that means it's working, right?
it's scary what is in a normal deodorant and i am definitely one of those people who need it. after a lot of trial and error trying crystals, lush natural bars, and sprays i have found the best deodorants are alba botanicals, tom's and hugo's natural. i am still partial to weleda's sage deodorant which doesn't have the biggest culprit, aluminum, but it still is a bit questionable.
i made the switch a long time ago to the dr. bronner line for bath washes. it is a southern california company (he lived down the street from us growing up) well known for his eccentric bottles of castile soaps. during the winter i usually get a big bottle of the eucalyptus wash and during the summer i'll get rose, peppermint or lavender. you'll end up reading the bottle for many other reasons besides the ingredients. i also love burt's bees milk & shea butter body wash.
for elodie's bath we use california baby (and sometimes burt's bees) especially the calendula bubble bath and calming shampoo. i also highly recommend dr. bronner's baby wash. toddlers love to wash, wash, wash and so i have a cute dispenser full of this for her.
my favorite body moisturizers are monoi tiare tahiti coconut oil and organic coconut oil (which i also use as a night cream!)
the upside to researching what you use is that you won't be tempted to buy things randomly in sephora. knowing what you are putting on your body, really understanding that it can affect you in the long run, can help you from having the drawers upon drawers of half filled bottles of shampoo, lotion, and makeup (or at least this is what i tell myself.) so far it's working!

I am on the exact same page as you! It's downright scary what's in many beauty products. Today, there is such a wide variety of natural products available. I can spend hours in the beauty aisle at whole foods!
I'm still on the hunt for the perfect healthy shampoo/conditioner. Have you had any luck?Oooh thanks for the sunscreen tip. I love jojoba oil as a nightime facial moisturizer. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to put oil on your face, but it's not really an oil and works like magic.
ReplyDeleteI just recently made the exact same change - and use coconut oil as my moisturizer too... its amazing! Plus it tastes awesome in case you get a little on your lips :) Another great line to check out is Jason's.. I use their shampoo & conditioner and you can get it at Whole Foods. Only runs about $5 a bottle. Thanks so much for sharing this! I really hope the health awareness of in-home products catches wave soon.. parabons among other things are some scary stuff!
ReplyDeletethere are some wonderful all natural lines at sephora. my sister in law is the buyer for that part of the company, actually. brands like LAVANILA are leading the way and make the best 100% healthy deodorant and sunscreen that i love. they have a great baby line too. http://sephora.com/browse/section.jhtml?categoryId=C22420 ok this is starting to sound like spam, its not! hehe. great post, i love learning about new good-for-me products.
ReplyDeleteI am in complete shock..i thought we were doing so good.... I checked all the brands that we are using (they are all advertised as save!!! all from health food stores) and most of them are listed in the moderate section (mostly the lower end but still i was not expecting it).. .my deodorant that i have been using for countless number of years even though it really DOES NOT work that good is nowhere near the safe zone......the toothpaste , all the house cleaning products etc.. well all i can say thank you for pointing this out to us... i will be making some changes soon...
have a great weekend!thankyou for posting this, im now in the process of finding the better and safer products out for my family. Just curious about perfume, which one do you use? it seems that the ones I have are not the safest...
ReplyDeletethis sounds absolutely disgusting but i just stopped using antiperspirant/deodorant because it never felt "right" having aluminum in it! ah! i know it hasn't specifically been traced to cancers but it can't be great for you. i like the idea of if you can eat it, you can use it. my best friend always said that and i thought she was a nut for a while but now i understand the importance. thanks for these suggestions! i am always looking for ways to minimize chemicals in my life and live a more natural lifestyle-- even if it is a little at a time. and i too would NEVER wear sunscreen-- my friend and i actually used coconut oil to tan with. natural but not too smart!
Lindsayi love this! i've been trying to make these changes here and there, too. i threw out all my lip glosses and lipsticks that had parabens, bought chemical free sunscreen, all the things like that! it's so scary what we buy and put on our bodies without a second thought. i'm glad there's more awareness of it these days! the only horrible thing i keep debating is my anti-antiperspirant. it's horrible, i know. but ew, i hate armpit sweat!
ReplyDeleteA little off topic, but would you happen to know the name of the flowers in your medicine cabinet in the picture above? I've been on the search for them..
ReplyDeleteI really want to change it up at home, but just can't afford it. $45 for sunscreen? I know it's better for you, but how do you make these changes without going broke? Help!
ReplyDeleteRepliesi think targeting one or two things that feel like the most important changes to make rather than feeling overwhelmed by all the changes you feel like you 'should' make. i live in southern california and don't like to wear hats or long sleeves so i just can't skimp on sunscreen.
DeleteAgreed. :) I actually just ordered the Alba Botanicals deodorant. I'll start small. I also live in California and like you, was raised ling out on tinfoil with baby oil slathered on my skin! Thanks for the post.

I was wondering how you like the origins facewash? I'm looking for a new one.... Thanks!

Article | Harvard Business Review | July–August 2014 The Crisis in Retirement Planning Robert C. Merton Corporate America began to really take notice of the looming retirement crisis in the wake of the dot-com crash, when companies in major industries went bankrupt in large part because of their inability to meet their pension obligations. The result was an acceleration of America's shift away from employer-sponsored pension plans toward defined-contribution (DC) plans—epitomized by the ubiquitous 401(k)—which transfer the investment risk from the company to the employee. With that transfer has come a dangerous shift in investment focus, argues Nobel Laureate Robert C. Merton. Traditional pension plans were conceived and managed to provide members with a guaranteed income. And because that objective filtered right through the scheme, members thought of their benefits in those terms. Ask a member what her pension is worth and she'll reply with an income figure: "two-thirds of my final salary," for example. Most DC schemes, however, are designed and managed as investment accounts with the goal of accumulating the largest possible pot of savings. Communication with savers is framed entirely in terms of assets and returns. Ask a saver what his 401(k) is worth and you'll hear a cash amount and perhaps a lament to the value lost in the financial crisis. The trouble is that investment value and asset volatility are simply the wrong measures if your goal is to secure a particular future income. In this article, Merton explains a liability-driven investment strategy whose aim is to improve the probability of achieving a desired retirement income rather than to maximize the capital value of the savings.

Farming 4 Hunger asked area farmers to help families in need at the Calvert County Farm Bureau's annual banquet Friday night, held at the Calvert County Fairgrounds in Prince Frederick.
J. Allen Swann, partner of Swann Farms in Owings who was master of ceremonies Friday night, explained that the agriculture in this county is changing, as he introduced a man who has been trying to do just that since 2010.
Bernie Fowler Jr. founded Farming 4 Hunger Inc. in 2010 with the vision of raising local, fresh produce for area food pantries.
In 2012, Farming 4 Hunger teamed up with Capital Food Bank, Maryland Food Bank, Southern Maryland Food Bank and End Hunger in Calvert County to grow acres of produce for Southern Maryland families in need, Fowler explained.
He said that "never in my wildest dream," did he think he would be standing in front of a room full of farmers telling them about F4H.
"Just when you think you have everything in life figured out ... you can be brought to your knees in a second," Fowler said, adding that it can happen to anyone at anytime, "even people in this room."
Fowler explained that F4H gave about 600,000 pounds of fresh produce to the food banks since the organization's inception with the help of about 1,500 volunteers in the last two years.
The 2013 season is already being planned for the farms that participate in growing produce for F4H.
Next year, he said, Capital Food Bank said they need 32 million pounds of food, most of which Fowler said they get from North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and even Canada.
"It only makes sense for them to purchase locally," he added.
Fowler encouraged farmers in the room to consider giving what they aren't going to sell or use themselves to F4H.
"I'd be glad to talk to anyone and meet with anyone. Now, don't get me wrong. Don't drop who you're selling to. I know selling price is important," he told the room.
"I'm not asking you to change your farm," he said. "But please. Consider donating your produce."
During the meeting, members also received updates about the agriculture community from the bureau's president, Thomas D. Briscoe, Miss Calvert County Farm Bureau Sarah Manning and Maryland Farm Bureau Vice President Chuck Frye.

There are no words available to express my personal sense of loss at the passing of Royal Marshall. It's no stretch to say that I loved that man like he was my own brother. Royal had an unmatched sense of humor and a quick mind that made him a natural for radio, and his dedication to his colleagues and friends was only exceeded by his intense dedication to his family. Our program, WSB Radio and the entire Cox family has lost part of its very soul this day. I ask that you keep Royal, his wife Annette and his two precious and much-loved little girls, Amira and Ava, in your prayers. -Neal Boortz

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences? When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50. And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

Millions of people in the region rely on Lake Mead for water and electricity generated at Hoover Dam. Unfortunately, as water levels fall, it gets more difficult for the dam's turbines to produce electricity. Engineers at the dam are installing turbines that could extend the ability of the dam to produce power, even if the water levels fall to 950 feet, but that's a worst case scenario.

LAS VEGAS -- Lake Mead's water level has dropped to the lowest level it's ever been. The lake has come down well over a 140 feet at its peak, and it's projected to recede even more this summer. Experts say the dam hasn't been this low since it was built. Lake Mead is the primary source of water in Nevada's drought-stricken region, but it's getting low enough where restrictions on how much water we can use may be put into place. The low water is having a direct impact on boaters and even causing new dangers, according to park goers.

Poland's existing franc debt due May 2018 yielded minus 0.15 percent at 3:04 p.m. in Warsaw after dropping to a record minus 0.2 percent this month.

For this amount of water you can cut back the yeast to a very tiny amount. A packet is about 2 teaspoons. You can literally use 1/8 teaspoon.You are not going to like the dough without salt... I hate to say it, but you should probably start over.You should go directly to shaping the dough without punching it down or kneading it. Be gentle with it. If you punch it down, you really have to wait for it to rerise.Jeff
Hey kidder,there's no difference in taste between IDY and ADY. You will notice a big diff with the starter though.Salt does not really kill yeast. I just slows it down. The lack of salt was one reason your dough doubled in bulk even though you had it in the fridge. The taste of your dough without salt will not be pleasing, I predict.Salt also affects the feel and elasticity of the dough.It takes a while to get these procedures perfect. Jeff

Lay N Go Traveler
Lay N Go TravelerDianeLikin' This BagI bought this bag on sale. I saw it elsewhere for twice the price, but for 15 dollars, I figured," Why not"? I have tons of makeup, so probably could use another one, but this will do for now. Plan to take with me on my next trip!posted Mar 25, 2015Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackToni R.Lay And Go BagI saw this bag and thought it was a good idea, but I couldn't believe they were so expensive. So, I went to a fabric store and made some of my own. Less expensive and I can make them any size I want. Paid less than 1/2 of what they are asking. So easy to make too.posted Jan 23, 2014Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackJeanie D.CASo UsefulI wish I had one on these as a teen- instant clean up.
I bought the large ones for my kids legos, hotwheels etc.

Lay N Go Cosmo BlackLigiaUgly Bag! Yuck!I agree that it's a great idea. But, the look off this bags when it's closed? Cheap! And that's being kind. I ordered two black bags....one for me, the other for a gift. I was very happy when they arrived. Opened mine, put some of my makeup in it and closed it. It did not look anything like the bag in the picture when closed. Ugly and bulky! Both went back. Extremely satisfied with Folica.com! Can't say the same for the bag!posted Jun 9, 2013Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackCarolMill Valley, CALay N Go Cosmo Black BagThis has been wonderful to carry all of my cosmetics when going to the gym or for traveling. Everything is in one place.posted May 31, 2013Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackRebecca R.HairMedium BrownCurly HairPretty Clever BagIt took be a short while to get it, but i really do like it. It's not overly attractive when closed but sure works great when open. I used to dump everything out on a washcloth then pile it back in. No need to that now, it's al there front and center. Pretty clever mfg.posted Apr 30, 2013Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackCheryl N.Wilmington, NCWhy Didn't I Think Of This??Ladies, can I just tell you that nothing has changed my life like the Cosmo in years!! Thank you, LAY/N/GO for making my day-to-day and travel make-up routine so much more simple. I can find everything I need at a glance, and I can cinch it up and go in a second. Brilliant!posted Apr 8, 2013Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackPeggyWashington, DCWhat A Find!This is my favorite cosmetics find in nearly 10 years! I use it at home and when traveling. I've never felt that my cosmetics were so secure and protected,. And I love that I can find every single piece so easily. Amazing invention!!posted Apr 8, 2013Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackBeth S.The Ultimate Cosmetic Solution!I absolutely LOVE this bag. I used to spread out a hand towel in the sink and then dump all of my make-up onto the towel so I could see everything...no longer! With the Lay-n-Go COSMO, all I do is open it up, use what I need and then cinch it closed and stick it back into my drawer or throw it back into my suitcase. It's perfect for on the go and it's WASHABLE! I have never had a cosmetic bag that I could throw in the washing machine like this one~ FANTASTIC.posted Mar 28, 2013Link to this post
Lay N Go Cosmo BlackKristelCharlotte, NCHow Did I Ever Live Without This??The LAY/N/GO Cosmo bag is one of the best gifts I've gotten in a LONG time! I use it both at home and during travel and absolutely love how it keeps my cosmetics and brushes both protected and organized. I can find all of my make-up SO easily now, because I can spread it out on this neat and clean surface without digging to the bottom of my old bag (and without fear of it rolling into the sink!). When I'm finished, I just cinch it up and toss it either in my drawer or my suitcase. By the way, I've already washed and dried the bag, and it came out looking brand new. I can't wait to give this as Mother's Day gifts!posted Mar 28, 2013Link to this post

JB, I just wanted to thank you for responding openly to my earlier query. I just had a chance to read an digest it.
I would like to give the matter additional thought. My current opinion on the matter is that there is a free platform available that will run on 99% of commodity hardware, and nobody is currently leveraging it. Installation of this platform is so incredibly easy that it isn't even required (LiveCD/USB). If I were in AMDs position, I would put together a bare-bones distro (Kernel, X, Mesa, SDL, a steam-like-client, and the demos with the hot cg chick) and leverage it to showcase AMD's technology. The result would be that 'every' AMD powered PC becomes a console.
I realize that this is a lot like what sony did with FreeBSD (cellOS) and GLES2 (libgcm/PSGL), the difference would be that you already have a huge installation base. Existing customers that have a positive experience on the platform continue to purchase AMD tech, customers of "the other tech and platform vendors" will look over the shoulder of your customers and say "Hey what's that? How can I get that?".
I'll think more about what you said tonight, but as far as I can tell, a million bucks and two years could quickly turn into market domination for a tech vendor. You don't need Sony or Microsoft.
"Pirated Windows" is a side effect of bad driver support for linux.
the people buy Linux hardware then they get doomed by the hardware company with bad drivers and then they install windows and because they hate Microsoft they pirate the windows.
imagine the case that the people are getting perfect Linux drivers then they don't need to warz windows.
sure Microsoft MAFIA companys will never admit this argument as valid because they think that the people won't use Linux even if ALL is perfect.
only MAFIA Criminals think in this way because they make sure with violence that Linux is not perfect.
Violence=directX,win32-API,windows file server,Patent FUD like fat32-h264 codex, copyprotection and drm DVD Blueray and so one and so one.
its the same MAFIA hurting you with bullets to make sure you "Pay" the Security "Tax"
That would great for the *BSD (and other) guys, I am sure they'll be thrilled to see more previously "generic" code move to be Linux specific.
My feeling is that they will be exactly as happy as the *Linux (and other) guys are when they see closed-source offerings derived from BSD (CellOS for the PS3 being a good example).
Edit: A closer look at my PS3 reveals that the OS may be more Darwin-like than FreeBSD-like. My statement still stands though, despite the (possibly) bad example.
