Your Guide to Safe, Non-Toxic Makeup

Even though my treatments have been done since March, my journey continues. I am always trying to incorporate things into my life that would help me live healthier and reduce the risk of the cancer coming back. One of the things that I feel is a big issue is the toxins that we have in so many things that are used every day on our skin, in our hair, to brush our teeth, and in our makeup.

I came across this article below, and hopefully you can find it helpful and somewhat eye opening.

Your Guide to Safe, Non-Toxic Makeup

The article also provides links to websites where you can go to rate your products.....and its not only for makeup....you can look up practically every product you use in the home (lotions, cleaners, meat, cars!). I thought it very interesting! The site I checked out was: http://www.goodguide.com/

I have to confess...I'm still using a lot of "bad" products. Realistically, its very difficult to throw out everything and buy all new "good" stuff in one go! It takes quite a bit of time to research which products are better, and then to find them....and it could get pretty pricey! But slowly I've been able to change things one by one. For example, I use Green Works to clean with and I'm washing my face with a natural bar of soap made with Olive oil and Aloe:)  It's a start right!

Hopefully I can find some of the makeup products noted in the article so that I can start a makeup make-over!!

    For anyone who's on the journey towards using more natural products, "There's Lead in Your Lipstick" is a great read. It tells you what to avoid, where to find good products and even how to make some of your own!!

    Hello,

    I hope all is well. Healthline just published these inspiring quotes about breast cancer from celebrities who battled the disease. Our audience really enjoyed them and gave us great feedback on how powerful and inspirational they are. You can see them here: http://www.healthline.com/health/breast-cancer/quotes

    I thought they would be of interest to your followers as well, and I wanted to see if you would include it as a resource on your page: http://kristalbreastcancer.blogspot.com/2011/10/your-guide-to-safe-non-toxic-makeup.html

    Please let me know if this would be possible. I’m happy to answer any other questions as well.

    Thanks so much!
