Glassware to reduce exposure to plastics, bamboo straws, and organic beeswax covers are all fun accessories for whirling around the kitchen. For the bath & body lovers: we all love fun lotions, soaps, skincare, and cosmetics, but conventional kits For the sweet tooth: We are no strangers to sweets, so we reach for organic whenever possible and need to add in some safe toothbrushes to boot. Visit our Facebook page to see our stories with all of the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sales we find across all of our favorite toxin-free brands (like 20% off John Master Organics!!!).
No matter where you are in your journey, you may hit the "where do I start?" or "what next" roadblock. The truth is there is not one right next step and after we moved out of our moldy home we just stood there wondering what the next step was. This experience crossed my mind the other day and it has inspired me to start the #day1swap hashtag. What can you do, day 1, to live a more toxin-free life, to promote healing and lower body burden? This is that hashtag. Easy steps, uninvolved, simple and best of all...inexpensive places to start. We don't always have hundreds of dollars to drop on everything at once. So here is today's #day1swap. Swap out your lotion for something toxin-free like @earthleywellness 's body butter. They have traditional and festive scents, this lavendar is a winner among my entire family. I added a link to their site on my linktree, link in profile . . . . . #militaryfamily #basehousing #militarylife #militaryhousing #militarywife #movingonirl #moldsurvivor #healingfromtheinsideout #toxinfreeliving #crunchymom #crunchylife #toxinfreebeauty #toxinfree #organicbeauty
Let's talk air quality for a minute. Our country is back on lockdown, the kids have another week of virtual school, so the 4 of us are at home and inside probably 80-90% of the time. Luckily the weather has been nice so we can go outdoors and get F R E S H air, but what about the rest of the time? It is Fall so a majority of the time our windows are shut. Fresh air is important, but so is CLEAN air. What are you doing to circulate and clean the air in your home? (Even safe homes, without mold/moisture/lead/asbestos issues need clean air too) . . . . . . #safehousing #healthyhomes #basehousing #militarylife #militaryhousing #militaryfamily #militarywife #covidtimes #lockdown #homeallday #virtualschool #sahmlife
Never in my life did I ever consider ingredients in my makeup/skin care...years of using both, let's say 20 years and I was unknowingly and unintentionally putting endocrine disrupters, carcinogens, allergens, heavy metals, and more all over my body. When I had kids I started to care more and made some swaps I thought were safe. Then when we were incredibly sick from environmental toxins, I took another deep look. After years I have cleaned up our home and strive to steer clear of greenwashed products. I have, 100%, bought in to greenwashing because I simply didn't know any better. Part of our healing process has been focused on lowering our body burden and removing unwanted toxins from our lives. On the blog I go in to more detail on what is on your home and if it is green or green washed. Link in our profile. Also, Crunchi is green and toxin-free in case you're wondering. I've been using them for a year and LOVE them. . . . . . . #greenvsgreenwashed #movingonirl #militarylife #militaryfamily #basehousing #ambushedathome #toxinfreeliving #toxinfreebeauty #iamcrunchi #cleanswap #ditchandswitch #cleanbeauty #safehome #toxinfreehome
Working on continuing to make conscious choices during this time of year and these are a must-haves, here's why: 🌱Gluten-free 🌱Refined-sugar free 🌱Organic 🌱Crispy outside chewy inside 🌱Loads of protein 💚My kids cannot tell the difference between these and traditional cookies. Which is huge as a professional baker and mom. R U N to the blog to check these chocolate chip cookies out, link is in our profile 💚💚 . . . #chocolatechipcookies #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreefood #organicsnacks #militaryfamily #healingfromtheinsideout #healingwithfood #organicmeals #healthyfood #lowmoldmeals
Your favorite organic greens powder, drop those recommendations below 👇👇👇 this powder is one of the worst I've ever had, I'm gagging it down daily and there's no masking the flavor 😂 . . . . . . #dailygreens #organicgreens #healingfromtheinsideout #healingwithfood #greens #toxinfreeliving
The coconut sugar is an awesome replacement, adding a depth of flavor typically found in chocolate chip cookies. As part of our low-mold food guide, these ingredients all fit in the low mold category if you’re able to get each the chocolate chips in organic. Place the dough evenly spaced on a prepared cookie sheet (I like using a silicone mat on my cookie sheet), push down on them slightly so that they aren’t balls. Add in the oil, egg, vanilla, and chocolate chips; mix until it has formed a dough and no dry ingredients are left un-combined.
Guess what I tried today???? My new LIPSTICK 💄 as blush!!! It is the perfect fall color, blended like a dream, and stayed put all day. Before you run to your makeup bag and start using this hack, make sure your lipstick is free of heavy metals, toxins, and 3rd party tested for safety ❤ I'm wearing Rosewood by @crunchicollection on my lips and cheeks. I think there is a link in my linktree ;) . . . . . #toxinfreeliving #toxinfreeskincare #toxinfreebeauty #iamcrunchi #crunchymom #beautyhack #familyphotos
We had a memory pop up on Facebook about the dangers of cleaning products that claim to be “clean” “green” and “natural”. Non-toxic means that a minority of tested subjects didn’t react negatively to the ingredients. Second, common “green” products include vague terms like “perfume” “natural fragrance” and “natural flavors”. This vague wording allows them to use that aren’t safe and are guised under a cloak of “industry secrets” to protect the use of them in the same industry that is mostly unregulated when it comes to wording.
Easiest swap, you can find it everywhere, no sacrifice in flavor...🌱Organic 🥥Coconut🥥 Sugar swapped in for brown sugar. It is not refined, low on the glycemic scale, organic, and inexpensive. I use it on my girls' oatmeal and there are zero complaints and honestly I doubt they even have noticed. It has the rich flavor you like from brown sugar but is so much better for you! Who has swapped out their sugar??? What else do you use your coconut sugar in? 👇 . . . . . . #healthyswaps #coconutsugar #healingwithfood #healingfromtheinsideout #toxinfreeliving #healthytreats #healthylifestyle #organicmeals #madhava #lowmoldmeals
While we can’t go in to all the details, we can say that we were in substandard housing and it caused our entire family to be sick for the entire year we lived there. We never knew, until we knew, that all of those conditions weren’t normal for military housing. The first place where we grew in new ways and started off our journey of helping others move on from toxic, poor living conditions. Two hundred square feet of living space was leaps and bounds better than the almost two thousand square feet on base.
Remember our trip (well, very long PCS) from the US to Belgium and how sad I was at forgetting my toxin-free products in a hotel?! We have a new post up of items you need to stay safe while travelling, including practical things like a CHECKLIST (🤦♀️) so you don't leave those favorites behind 😂 #dontbeme . . . . . #toxinfreeliving #toxinfreebeauty #toxinfree #travelsafe #militaryfamily #militarylife #pcs #militarywife #milspouselife #militarymove
You guys, my face used to HURT. My acne had gotten SO bad, at 33 years old, that I had people asking if I was okay or what happened to me. I took on the "acne beard" that is hormonal acne (swipe) that was caused by what mold had done to my body. But now I am acne free 🙌🙌🙌 You can swipe and see how bad my face was over the past year, curing it was no joke. On the blog I have a new post about how to cure hormonal acne, NATURALLY. . . . . . . #moldsurvivor #moldfreemeals #healingfromtheinsideout #healingwithfood #hormonalacne #militaryfamily #toxinfreeliving #toxinfree #toxinfreebeauty #iamcrunchi #crunchymoms
We tried this vegan curry veg lunch and oh my, is it amazing. Day 1 (first pic) we did it by the recipe and it was good but a smidge spicy for me. Day 2 (second pic) I changed it up and here is the wow: 🥦1 cup roughly chopped organic cauliflower (something about it not being riced makes it feel more substantial) 🥥1/4 cup organic coconut milk (canned) 🍈1/2 can organic chickpeas 🧅1 tsp organic curry powder 🥒1 cup chopped organic zuchinni 🍋 squeeze of organic lime Sautée your cauliflower in a teaspoon of coconut oil until softened. Remove and set aside. Add the other 4 ingredients in your pan and cook on medium until zuchinni is cooked to desired texture. Squeeze a few drops of lime juice on top and serve over the cauliflower. It's so good and filling, plus it is #lowmoldmeals approved!

WE ARE ADVENTURERS 💙💚 We have never let having kids deter us from exploring. And when we swapped out toxic stuff from our lives we realized we had A LOT of products that needed to go-- sunscreen, bug spray, bandaids, you name it! We have swapped it alllllll out for toxin-free items and made our must-have list, now on the blog. Seriously, not only are you buying junk products when you forget something, you're also buying products at a premium (think sunscreen at a water park). And why does it matter? The less burden (toxins) we put in our bodies, the better they function, especially after previous exposure to toxins (poor air quality, poor water quality, mold, lead, etc) . . . . . . . #toxinfreeliving #toxinfreebeauty #toxinfree #organicbeauty #organicselfcare #travelmusthave #badgerbalm #militaryfamily #militarywife #moldsurvivor
