A Toxin-Freeish Approach to Choosing Safer Products (Ft. Wendy Kathryn)

You are the gatekeeper of your home, which means you can make intentional choices about the products you use and what ingredients you allow in your house.

But learning to choose cleaner products can quickly lead to a perfectionistic mindset and high stress when you leave no room for compromise. You can feel like you have to change everything all at once, or you can't enjoy certain things you used to (like getting your nails done at the salon).

So what does it look like to take a toxin-freeish approach to choosing safer products? What would it look like if you took intentional steps to choose better ingredients, but also gave yourself grace to enjoy less healthy options?
