![Let's just preface this with:
These work for me, I've done some research over the months and they all sound like they could only have a positive impact on life, but as with everything it's always worth doing your own research ✨
My youngest has been diagnosed with a chronic condition, and I don't have control over a lot of what may happen in our future but I can do the best I can with what I am in control of which is where no 2 and no 3 come into play.
Ok let's go!
1. Splashing my face with water 30 times: So far I can only get up to 12 times without feeling like my fingers will freeze off but it clears my head, can support your nervous system, is an instant mood booster, I saw @michaellabolder do it and she knows her stuff so it must be good!
2. Ditching the plastic tupperware: There is lots out of research out there about how chemicals from the plastic can leach into food, especially when it heated, and the chemicals can damage our health. I've also ditched plastic chopping boards & kitchen utensils for wood or metal.
3. Plant based cleaning products: Better for the environment, reduces indoor pollution that we breathe in, safer around kids and doesn't irritate skin. At the moment I'm using @marksandspencer laundry liquid, @miniml washing up liquid (I buy in bulk & decant) and @methoduk antibac surface cleaner.
minimling you'd add to this list?
