Whether you’re new to the idea of more sustainable, ‘greener’ living, or you’ve been on this journey for a while, welcome! I look forward to getting to know you. What was your first baby step on this journey?
One of my earliest steps was tackling toxic personal care products. Shortly after a friend pointed out the toxins in the baby shampoo we were using back in 2005, I began researching this topic in serious detail as both a mom wanting to protect my own family and later as a consultant to other people wanting to protect their families, too. In this work, I am married to principles, not a company. In fact, professionally speaking, I had built a business that reached $20,000 in monthly sales with a line of products and left all that when I discovered a different company more in sync with my core values. I was drawn to the Miessence community because of their commitment to educate people on general principles, with no hype or hard sell on their products, and I am grateful to be a part of this dynamic group of change agents.
In keeping with that commitment, the “Toxic Test” list and additional resources to the right are chock full of content to help you understand what goes on generally in the personal care, cosmetic, and supplement industries so you can be empowered to more fully evaluate any brand of products. Fill out the form to the right to get your copy of the Toxic Test list, then grab a product in your bathroom that you want to put to the test.
I love sharing what I’ve learned about this particular realm, but I’m on my own journey of continual change for sustainable living and want to learn from you as well. Please visit my Facebook page to comment, connect and share so we can all learn from each other. I look forward to sharing this journey with you. ~ Lacey
