What does Low-Tox mean?

"Low-tox" hit the social media world along with "crunchy", "scrunchy", and "silky". Fad words that kind of separate the types of social media accounts they are and what they talk about on their account. 

Low-tox, in my own words, is choosing the best non-toxic options that you can (in your situation, budget, lifestyle) but also not living "perfectly" (which NEWS FLASH, nobody can do in this world unfortunately)

I say this because there are just some things that we cannot avoid. We can't avoid the public and we can't always choose the perfect option (for whatever reason). 

We can avoid that fragrance all we want until we're standing in line behind the woman who just sprayed 10lbs of her perfume on before she got here....

We can avoid ingesting seed oils until we go to that restaurant with our family that cooks everything in seed oils... 

We can avoid those candles until we go to a friends house that has 3 lit up in every room.... 

We can't control everything. 

This is why I chose "low-tox" for my shop name because it's important to me that people are lowering their body burden but most importantly: informed on their choices.  

On my journey of sharing better options for foods and products on my social media, I learned that my online friends are all different. Some would prefer the BEST option while others want to know what the "better, most affordable" option would be. So my shop will hopefully be the best of both worlds. 

We're all here to lower our body burden + also live life. The stress of "perfect" options ALL the time is not worth it. It's easy to give up on your health journey when you're feeling like you're not making perfect decisions all the time or looking at health in a black and white way.

Now don't get me wrong, I will not lead you astray to using greenwashed products. I am still picky about what I have in my shop. I like working with companies that are transparent. I will not add products that have cancer causing or endocrine disrupters (to the best of my knowledge)

The products and foods that come into my house are extremely important to me and I take pride in my decisions for myself and my family and I hope that I can encourage you to make better decisions for your own family!
