I thought I’d talk about my experience with going green. After going raw I found out there was more to protecting myself and my environment and that was being as green as possible. When I first realized this I thought I’d try changing deodarants. Well that didn’t go to well. I actually end up being allergic to the natural deodarants and I found that a lot of people are allergic to them. I thought how weird. Anyway knowing me I never give up so I decided I was going to keep trying and I found this Salt based deodarant and it works well it’s like water and salt, but to be honest right now I use that at night and I still use the toxic stuff in the morning but I am planning to tranisiton as I have really good results with the water/salt deo and it’s super cheap, I think I am make it myself.What are you using for Deo?

Well not only did I try to replace my deo, I tried with my hair as well. I actually started using Honey and some vairous oils like Jojoba, Olive Oil, Apple Cidar Vinegar, Coconut Oil, and a natural conditioner. I no longer shampoo my hair I try to use Baking soda and water to do that now to cleanse my scalp. I enjoy putting together various concotions. I’ve mentioned this on the blog before that I use Honey and lemon to cleanse my face, it works wonders but my face also looks a hundred times better after exercising. I also use coconut oil on my face, as needed.

Clariying the hair with baking soda: 
1 tablespoon of baking soda
2 cups of water, warm or room temp, I use warm water.
Shake it up and use on your scalp.

I personally do not let it sit, I work it into my scalp and then rinse.

After I rinse this out I spray on the Apple cider Vinegar for a minute then rinse.

I noticed that after doing this my conditioner works even better on my hair it feels so good.

Well I know this is a raw blog but changing up your products is apart of going raw and living as healthy as we possibly can. We’ve also changed up our dish washing liquid, detergent and even the type of soap we use, and it is totally worth it. You might also think about getting a filtered shower head so that it can filter out the bad stuff as the stuff that comes out of the water can get into your body.

Oh I almost forgot to mention that I am now using Toothsoap instead of regular toothpast , even the tootpaste that you find in the store that says all natural includes floride, so be careful. Floride can also be found in your local water supply. Floride coats the teeth and keeps them from remineralizing. You want your teeth to be able to heal and they cannot when they are coated so think about trying some Toothsoap.
Take care,
