Hello! I am a California girl, now living in the Midwest and have been on my own personal journey to eliminate toxins from my family's lives. I'm mom to 5 littles and their health and future is my #1 priority, along with my own and husband's. I'm a professor of journalism, a swim coach, and an Advocate for safe, non-toxic makeup (Crunchi). For the past five years, it's been quite the education and informative path as I've dug deep into everything from cleaning supplies to our nutrition to our personal daily products. I've learned so much that I can't wait to share it all with you, right down to tips and hacks that I use in daily life. Join me and start your own journey to non-toxic living! I hope you enjoy my website and please subscribe so you get email updates on my new blog posts. I promise, no spam or junk email (I'm not even sure how that would work! :) )
