🚫 Eliminate TOXINS from Your Living Space! 🚫

Our homes are a sanctuary where we live, love, and create memories. It's our hope that we always feel safe and healthy! 🏑❀️

As a real estate agent deeply passionate about health and mindful living, I'm in people's homes all the time. I'm on a mission to educate my friends, family, and community about toxins that may be lurking in everyday products. This includes items like household cleaners, laundry soap, hand soap, room sprays, candles, lotions, shampoo, body wash, deodorant, and makeup... and so much more. πŸ§ΌπŸ•―οΈπŸ’„

πŸ‘€ Take a look around your home. Do you know what’s in your household goods and products? Becoming aware of potentially harmful substances and eliminating them can help keep you and your family healthy.

You may be shocked to discover how harmful many products you use or are exposed to daily could be. 🀯

Sometimes, the dangers are obvious, like a rash from spilling a household cleaner or coughing from irritating fumes. However, many toxic chemicals cause no immediate symptoms but can be incredibly harmful over time with even low-level exposure. 🚨

"Chemicals can leach out of our products and end up in the air and dust in the home, where they can enter your body," warns Dr. Ami Zota, a public health expert. Her team found 45 different chemicals commonly found in indoor dust, many of which are endocrine disruptors that can mimic or block natural hormones, potentially reducing fertility, raising cancer risks, or causing other harms. 🧬

Did you know? The skin, the largest organ of the human body, serves as a protective barrier and plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. This underscores the importance of being mindful of what we put on our bodies! 🌿
