😴Using less blue light and more red light can help us sleep better at night. Here’s a way to limit the blue light on your phone during night hours. Hope this helps! You can also switch your bulbs in your house to red light instead of the bright white light. Common things that emit blue light: fluorescent lights LED lights televisions cell phones and tablets computer screens Blue light is a good thing during the day. Once you wake up, it can help you feel more alert. But at night, blue light can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. No this is not the same as red light therapy. #sleep #sleepbetter #bluelight #healthier #redlight #motherhood

Lunchables swaps without the artificial dyes, artificial flavors, nitrates and nitrites. Okay, I made this video because so many people said they love lunch bowls, and a recent video that I made and I was shocked by how poor of a rating blanchable’s got on the EWG app Mostly because I don’t pay attention to lunch rules anymore I wouldn’t buy one. But it’s alarming. #lunchables #healthier #swaps #lunch #kidlunch #groceries #sahm

Follow for more shopping tips 🫶🏻 I know it can feel overwhelming and expensive most of the time at the grocery store. It’s why I shop at 5 different stores now 🤯 Knowing this about certified organic helps me shop a little more at ease These ingredients are not in certified organic foods: 1. Artificial Color 2. TBHQ: Tertiary butylhydroquinone 3. BHT: Butylated hydroxytoluene 4. BHA: butylated hydroxyanisole 5. Sucralose 6. Aspartame 7. Acesulfame Potassium 8. Sodium Nitrate 9. Polysorbate 80 I used my @ewgverified app to look up the ingredients and what they are. Very interesting once you know what these things are and why we DONT want them in our food #Shopping #grocery #groceryhaul #ingredients #organic #moms #motherhood #sahm #sprouts #traderjoes

🐣Homemade Easter Egg Dye! This was honestly so much fun. It took longer than a store bought kit with all the yucky ingredients. But it was worth it! 2 cups of whatever fruit or vegetable you decide Boil for 15-30 min Let cool Add 1 tbsp vinegar per 1 cup of dye Store with lid over night Done! Follow me for more healthy swaps. Share with your low tox mom bestie. #toxin #dye #dyefree #nontoxic #eggdye #easter #eastercraft #eastertoddler #easteregg #healthy #healthier

Please explain why natural flavors is necessary i can’t wrap my head around it. #naturalflavor #healthier #traderjoes

🛒Less Toxic Costco Favorites 🛒 Glass storage containers. The lids are plastic not the best option but still better than all plastic. DO NOT microwave your food in plastic containers as it releases more plastic into your food. Cast iron griddle/ pans are much better than teflon or nonstick option! Stainless steel or glass cups are a safer option than plastic. The straw is plastic so again not perfect but less toxic overall. A2 dairy (yogurt and milk) is beneficial because it’s more easily digestible. Once upon a farm pouches are one of my favorites although I try to make all of our food at home, when we’re in a bind it’s nice to have an organic option. @lesserevilsnacks popcorn is organic, NON GMO verified, and no seed oils so YUM! Kombucha is a great alternative to sodas! This one specifically has no added sugars super beneficial. None of us need more sugar. Organic sprouted pumpkin seeds, amazing option to add fiber for the kids! Make your own granola or throw it into yogurt with honey. Amara yogurt melts are organic and don’t have any dyes. #Costco #costcofinds #lesstoxic #family #grocery #groceryshopping #healthier #healthierfood

🐰Easter Swaps this year! 🍭🍬 I’m so grateful that less toxic options are available this year. To be honest I still don’t love all the ingredients because many contain seed oils that I won’t eat anymore. However, naturally dying candy with vegetable and fruit juices or tumeric, blackcurrant, etc. is very encouraging. It’s proof that it’s possible and we don’t need RED 40, YELLOW 5, BLUE 1, YELLOW 6, RED 3, etc. 🫶🏻please share with your bestie if this was helpful! Lots of great options I’ve found at Target and Whole Foods. #easter #easterbasket #easterswap #nodye #dyefree #target #wholefoods #organic #nongmo #candy #healthier #swaps

The biggest dietary change I believe was causing inflammation in my body is getting rid of seed oils. Once you read the labels they’re in literally almost anything processed. I’d love if grocery stores cook be dye free and seed oil free. But I’ll keep dreaming. For now the best option is to: Read EVERY label Cook from scratch Buy organic whenever possible Shop the outer perimeter of the stores The oils I don’t consume are: Oils to avoid: Vegetable oil Canola oil Rice bran oil Soybean oil Corn oil Cottonseed oil Sunflower oil Safflower oil Grapeseed oil The better alternatives: Alternative oils to use: Olive oil Coconut oil Avocado oil Butter Ghee Beef Tallow #seedoils #diet #health #healthier #groceries #sahm #family #shopping
