Creating a Natural Home

Updated: Jan 7, 2024


Greetings! Happy Wednesday! I trust you're doing well. It's been a bustling and enjoyable month at my office, with significant orders to fulfill from my Earth Body and Love Etsy store, along with meeting clients in my new space. I'm thrilled about the positive response to my revamped salon/hippy home!


Today, let's delve into the realm of creating a more natural home. Over the past two decades, I've passionately embraced this journey, and I'm eager to share insights without overwhelming you. Let's start with some mindful steps to reduce toxic exposures in our daily lives.


1. Fresh Air: Open doors and windows for a breath of fresh air. Consider an air purifier like the Ecoquest, which neutralizes smoke, odors, and airborne germs. Plants like rubber plants, snake plants, and peace lilies can also enhance indoor air quality.


2. Formaldehyde-Free Zone: Be mindful of formaldehyde exposure, especially with new furniture, carpeting, and household cleaners. Seek products from companies committed to excluding such chemicals.


3. Say No to Traditional Dry Cleaning: Many dry cleaners use perchloroethylene, linked to cancer. Opt for more eco-friendly dry cleaning options or air out clothes outside the home.


4. Chlorine Reduction: Address chlorine exposure in water by investing in a water purification system like Propur, removing contaminants and providing a noticeable improvement in water quality.


5. Choose Natural Furnishings: Opt for wood over particle board or plastic, natural fabric curtains, and pure cotton sheets. Say no to permanent press sheets treated with formaldehyde. Embrace natural air fresheners like essential oils.


6. Minimize Electrical Pollution: Remove unnecessary electrical devices, especially in the bedroom, to minimize exposure to electromagnetic fields. Consider alternatives like battery-operated alarm clocks and protect your phone with tools like SafeSleeve.


7. Natural Vegetable Wash: Use a natural vegetable wash, like the one from Young Living, to safely remove dirt, waxes, and pesticides from produce.


8. Mindful Kitchen Choices: Choose eco-friendly products like Norwex for dish soap, cloths, sponges, and more. Explore homemade laundry soap recipes for a chemical-free alternative.


9. Cookware Consciousness: Opt for cookware made from stainless steel, glass, porcelain, enamel-coated cast iron, natural clay, or cast iron to avoid toxins leaching into your food.


This journey towards cleaner living is a daily exploration, and there's always more to learn. Feel free to share your own tips and insights, and don't hesitate to ask questions.


Wishing you a restful night's sleep and much love on your clean-living path!

Warm regards,

~J

Creating a natural home involves incorporating elements of nature and sustainability into your living space. Here are some tips on how to create a natural home:

  1. Use natural materials: Use natural materials like wood, stone, bamboo, and cotton for furniture, flooring, and fabrics. Avoid synthetic materials like plastic and synthetic fibers.

  2. Use plants: Bring nature inside by adding plants to your home. Plants not only improve air quality but also add a natural touch to your living space.

  3. Use natural light: Allow as much natural light into your home as possible. Use sheer curtains or blinds to let in natural light while still maintaining privacy.

  4. Reduce waste: Reduce waste by using reusable containers and bags, composting food scraps, and recycling.

I'm a little bummed because I sleep with the heating blanket because I can't sleep if I'm cold.... But I did unplug it last night and I'll keep it unplugged for the next couple of days to see as a science experiment how I do 👍

Me too! I slept all these winter long nights with my electric blanket and had no idea about the emfs emitted from it

Eeks! I never considered EMFs from electric blanket and alarm clocks. And I sleep right by my phone...some things I have to change. See, this is the difference. You actually care about our health and selflessly share your knowledge with others, whereas they could care less about us (population control, you know). Thank you for helping us to stay as healthy as can be!
