You guys know that I’ve been slowly transitioning to a nontoxic/natural lifestyle. Part of that means being conscious of the ingredients of the products I’m using and switching to nontoxic alternatives. Thanks to Think Dirty, that task has become a lot easier. Finding safer alternatives for everyday items can be tricky. It’s not a simple as buying an item that marked “all-natural” or “organic”. The FDA lets a lot of things slide when it comes to labeling and transparency.[...]
Flu season is here and with a new vengeance. The coronovirus COVID-19 has taken the world by storm. I’m sure I’m not the only spoonie worried about this epidemic.

If the normal human body is 60% water, my body was about 60% soda LOL. But now I absolutely adore water. I have a delivery service, that drops off 5 gallon bottles to my house monthly and I keep a few cases of 24 packs in my car. IDK if there’s a such thing as drinking too much but I may be te[...]
