Good point !!!!!!!! Cute movie !!!!!!!! What we put on our bodies, clothing and homes can affect us as much as what we put in our bodies.
We need to check the ingredients of our cosmetics, laundry soaps, household cleaners, and dental products just as much as our food and drugs.
I buy most of my cosmetics, laundry soaps, household cleaners, bath soaps, hygiene products and dental products at the health food store. I still check the ingredients when shopping at the health food store. If I buy household cleaning products at a regular store I buy products that have old fashioned natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, natural oils and lemons.
When I was at the doctor's office last week they were cleaning the chairs with something that made me dizzy and I started to cough. I asked what they were using. It was a spray that contained about 6 different harsh chemicals. I had to leave the room until the smell went away !!!!!!!!!! Yikes !!!!!!!!!!!!
