Jim Carrey is one of my all-time favorite comedians. I love this video of him, poking fun at environmental issues and advocates. I admittedly resemble some of these scenes, but it’s also pretty easy for me to laugh at myself. Enjoy!

It was last summer that I wrote this post. I found it interesting that one year later, the information is still spot-on and thus, I continue to share this message to anyone who will listen. I hope it will be beneficial to all of you:
For those of us who defied the Surgeon General’s warning on the cigarette package for all those years…. We all know,  how valid the warning was and still is.

“Treat the earth well:
it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
we borrow it from our Children.”

This week is designated Earth Week and the 22nd of April is Earth Day. It’s also marks the 4th anniversary of my journey of being a more responsible caretaker of this beautiful planet.
There are a plethora of things that one can do, to be more environmentally conscious and reduce their carbon footprint. I will be sharing …

Our skin is the largest organ on our body, but often times, the most neglected. What we eat and drink, as well as what we use on our body, can have effects to our health.
Your skin is also like a sponge. It  can absorb the elements that it is exposed to. Sometimes, these elements can contain substances that may be toxic to humans and their future offspring. From home cleaning products to personal hygiene products, everything matters.
Last week, I had my first-ever facial. I’ve never really been interested in getting …

Once upon a time, in 1976, there was passed the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Of the 62,000 chemicals on the market at the time TSCA passed in 1976, EPA has only required testing on about 200; and it has only regulated five.

For those of us who defied the Surgeon General’s warning on the cigarette package for all those years…. We all know,  how valid the warning was and still is.
And now,  research has proven that many products that families are using in our homes around their children and family, can be detrimental to their health.
In a report from the NIEHS (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences), the following statement pretty much sums up what all the research is saying:
Children are highly vulnerable to the negative health consequences associated with many environmental exposures. Children receive proportionately …

There probably isn’t a parent in the world, that wouldn’t give or do ANYTHING, to protect their child. Loving their children and protecting them from being physically or emotionally harmed by themselves or someone else, are instinctual traits for all parents. Yet, despite parents doing their very best, sometimes children are still exposed to harmful things.
Health hazards for children are everywhere. Yes, there are exposures outside, as well as inside of their homes, that can trigger common diseases and health conditions in a child. Even in utero, babies and children are often vulnerable to …
