Your #skin is your largest organ… Everything you touch, your skin absorbs… Walk through your typical day… how many products do you use/touch with your bare skin that you use without considering what it’s made of? How many of those are actually healthy to put on your skin? The disgusting truth is, that most products we use EVERY DAY that we auto pilot purchase at the grocery store weekly or monthly contain toxic fragrance chemicals and agents that are negatively impacting our health, insidiously, every single time we use them… shampoo & conditioner laundry detergent deodorant dish soap cleaners bug spray toothpaste The big brand products ALL contain some of the worst toxins you can expose yourself to… just do some quick research if you want to know how bad it is… So… let’s talk quick and easy solutions… Soap - buy handmade soap, free of fragrance chemicals using organic essential oils Shampoo & Conditioner - Stop using them, full stop! Unless you can find a specialty product that is hand-made… Use organic soap if your hair is actually dirty, or once weekly to clean it, and then use a raw egg on your scalp (whip first then massage into scalp and leave for 5-10 min before rinsing) twice per week to restore nutrients… just try it, it works great! Deodorant - buy a salt crystal and use it after showering… it’s a natural way to reduce odor and if you eat clean food, you will not smell bad! One of these lasts over 10 years Dish soap - Buy Dr. Bronners pure Castile soap and dilute 1:10 into a foaming bottle… best hand washed dishes ever Cleaner - for floors and countertops mix hot water, lemon 🍋 & white vinegar… you can drop some essential oils in also if you like Laundry detergent - find a natural detergent to buy… I use a coconut based product… very important to find something natural for this! I don’t use Dr. Bronners soap for this because it’s expensive and hard to find where I live, but if you can buy it in large quantities it’s 100% worth it and even more economical than regular detergent! Lotion - use cuts from an Aloe Vera plant if your skin is dry, or find an organic lotion that has no fragrances in it Bug spray - use an essential oil mix and cover up Toothpaste - choose a non-fluoride option! Hope that helps some of you who might be aware of how toxic most of the everyday products out there are, but haven’t gotten a push to switch to a more natural solution 🙌🏼🫡 #nostr #grownostr #introductions #health #natural #organic #toxins #plebchain #coffeechain #bitcoin #fitness #selfcare #toothpaste

Of all the places I have traveled, one place that inspired and awed me was the Temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia… When I visited, it was early morning… there was a fine mist in the air, hanging mystery and magic heavily over the ruins like a garment perfectly suited for its wearer… I walked around in stunned silence, taking in the incredible talent, skill, and artistry that these incredible humans invested into building this wonder… Around mid-day, I took a break under a tree to watch a local man sketch in his notepad… we didn’t speak each other’s language, but we had a fun little sign & body language exchange where we both communicated what a beautiful day it was and how incredible the temple looked in the morning I mimed wanting to see his sketches, and he showed me some of his drawings… He was talented, sketching with a fine-tip basic black pen and nothing else… I mimed my admiration for his drawings, and he didn’t even hesitate to choose the one I had stopped a bit longer to admire, and offered it to me… I tried to give him some money in exchange, but he refused… so I went and bought us lunch, and brought it back so we could eat together… We mimed about our families and lives for a while, eating our food, and when I finally stood and shook his hand to say goodbye, he made me wait, and took out another drawing and gave it to me… I knew he didn’t want me to offer him money again… this was a gift, and doing so would ruin the brief friendship we had just formed… I can still recall that moment with crystal clear perfection… the feeling of the heat and humidity, the warmth on my left shoulder where the sun had broken through the canopy… I can still see his wide, crooked smile, weathered skin, green gym shorts and faded tan threadbare shirt… I was honored and humbled by the gift I saved those drawings for the past 15 years, tucked away in storage while I continued to travel and work all over the world… and recently, finally, I had them framed… After over 20 years of traveling, I finally have a home base, and look forward to seeing this art every day… reminding me of the beauty in the world and the kindness of strangers #nostr #introductions #artstr #art #drawing #cambodia #angkorwat #travel #adventure #plebchain #bitcoin #hodl #coffeechain #goodmorning #GM #writing #story #kindness #beauty #friendship
