Using glass is a much safer alternative and helps with food prep for the week! Win-win! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009DSRBSE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;creativeASIN=B009DSRBSE&;linkCode=as2&;tag=momgirlblog-20&;linkId=dec355997cb3d8a745eaa32102ba71e5">S&#8217;well Water Bottle</a>: Same goes for plastic water bottles! I always try to carry one around wherever I go! Keeps you hydrated and you&#8217;re not drinking any potential toxic ingredients seeping into your water! </p>

Fragrance can be found in almost HALF of all personal care products! Be especially cautious when it comes to children&#8217;s products! Use the EWG app to scan products around your home to see its level of toxicity. If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me where I got this perfume! It&#8217;s the perfect blend of lemon and sugar, without being overpowering and minus the harsh fragrance!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.beautycounter.com/products/makeup">Safer Makeup</a>: It&#8217;s perfectly legal for companies to use ingredients linked to cancer, endocrine disruption and reproductive harm in cosmetics and personal care products. With Beautycounter&#8217;s makeup you don&#8217;t have to choose between safety and performance!</p>

While they keep food and stains from sticking, they stick around your body for a very long time and have been linked to cancer. I absolutely LOVE my cast iron skillet! You can literally cook anything you want in it AND it&#8217;s oven safe! It&#8217;s time to ditch the teflon and non-stick pans!</p>
