You hear it here, you hear it there, you hear it everywhere, "GO NATURAL!". Well, if it was easy as heading to Walmart, finding the cheapest disinfectant wipes on the shelf and heading off the the checkout counter I think we would all be answering that call with open arms, and so would our bank accounts. But like many things in life "going natural" takes a bit of time, research, and at times money.
Well, don't get discouraged! I'm here to guide you through.
You wouldn't decide to go vegan and start out by throwing out all the food in your house, and then heading to the store. So, don't think you can exchange your current ways for more natural all in one day either.
Make a plan! Sit down and think about your daily life and find one area that you want to focus on making more natural. Research that area and slowly start making a shopping list. Try out a few new things each month until you are pleased with your changes. Once it becomes natural to you and a part of your normal life then it's time to tackle another area in your life (if you so choose).
One common area to "go natural" is in home cleaning. We could all head out and find some stores that offer a line or two of natural cleaning products and be done...but your budget might not like it, and what have your really learned? Instead, head off to the bookstore and look for The Naturally Clean Home by Karyn Siegel-Maier. This book is FULL of recipes for cleaning your home. Almost all of them have repeat ingredients making it very cost efficient. Buy some of the most used items and you can makes almost everything in the book! It's full of great information on Essential Oils and herbs. It's very easy to read and flip through, making it a quick educational read.
From doing your laundry to getting out rust stains, this book will be your beginner "Going Natural" guide.
