My Goal: Natural, Chemical Free Living

I love washing my face. Well, no so much washing my face as buying products for washing my face. I love slathering chemical filled lotions on my arms an legs, sudsing up with my favorite shampoos (a reaction caused by a chemical additive), and I especially love luxuriating in a paraben stuffed "detoxifying" face mask. But all these habits mean exposing myself to countless chemicals with unknown consequences. So I've decided to stop. Well, to try to stop. I'm going to slowly ween myself off of chemical-infused to less chemically or chemical free beauty products, and keep you updated along the way. I'll talk about which products I like best, which ones work, don't work, smell good, smell bad, etc, etc, etc. Along the way I may branch out into organic coffees, foods, cleaning products, and goodness knows what else. If you want me to review something, let me know! I want to live a little better, be a bit smarter with what I smear on my body, and have a fun time trying new products along the way.
