If you have been following along on my Instagram, you may have seen me mention that I’m swapping out my products for cleaner alternatives. This has been on my mind for quite some time, but more recently, I have been taking steps to slowly move towards a much cleaner lifestyle, starting with the products in my home. When I found out I was pregnant around this time last year, I started swapping my beauty products those that were cleaner and pregnancy-safe. I did a lot of research and had one important thing on my mind – our baby.

I knew once baby arrived, I wanted our home to be a cleaner and safer environment and have made small steps to ensure that was the case, such as finding baby shampoos and laundry detergent that was free from any harmful ingredients. A couple of weeks ago, I got bombarded on TikTok with “low toxic lifestyle” videos and it was really eye opening. I couldn’t stop researching and found myself down a deep hole of new information. So, I’ve decided that there’s no better time than now to make the necessary changes to my lifestyle, and that of our family’s. With the year coming to a close, my goal is to start out the new year with a new, cleaner lifestyle – here’s why!

3 Reasons I’m Making the Switch to Cleaner Products

1. First and foremost, for the health of my family.

As a new mom, my main focus is take care of our little one and our family, including myself. I feel that taking care of myself and my husband will help us be the best parents we can be for our little babe. Babies are sensitive and I know how important it is to protect her from harmful ingredients and chemicals. It’s become very clear to me that there are so many bad products on the market and it’s my job to educate myself to protect the ones I love.

Switching to a low toxic lifestyle takes time and cannot be done overnight. I did extensive research on baby products and feel confident knowing she is protected, but now I’m focusing on the products I use on myself, especially beauty products. My goal for the new year is to switch over to Beauty Counter products – a clean beauty line.

2. To become more educated on the harmful ingredients all around us.

There are so many products available to us and it’s overwhelming to know how to choose what is best for us. It’s really important to me to become more educated and learn exactly how to read ingredient labels and make more educated and informed decisions as a consumer.

3. To help better educate YOU & those that I love.

As a blogger, influencer, mom, friend, sister, and so on – I’d love to be able to help those around me understand how they can also live a low toxic life. I am a certified health coach and it has always been on my heart to be a resource for those that want to live a healthier life. It’s a goal of mine to be educated enough to help others too.
