Since Matt and I are doing more traveling and probably will continue for some time I thought I would get back into blogging to share our experience. Most people know that I am really into health and wellness and I like to tell everyone about what I learn. I think I am on a personal mission to save the world :), however annoying that may be to my friends and family (Sorry mom). This is probably a better outlet for me instead of always badgering people! I was inspired this morning to post after I read an article by Dr. Green over at drgreene.com . I am not pregnant nor attempting to get pregnant but I think this is a really important article for everyone to read. The rates of autism are climbing at alarming rates and I can't help but wonder if a woman or a man's chemical burden has something to do with that. Skin deep offers excellent insight as to the dangers of our beauty routine ranging from lotion and makeup to sunscreen. I check the sight regularly and try to only purchase items labeled in the green category. This article and skin deep are an excellent place to start if you want to learn more about what chemicals can do to our bodies and start to make a positive change for yourself. Like Dr Greene's article said, don't let this scare you, it is already happening and has been for a long time. Now is as good a time as any to arm yourself with knowledge! Check back soon for a post about our travels.
