Hi everyone! It’s been a little while since I posted…life has been so busy preparing for this baby boy.  I wanted to share with you guys some changes I’ve made since becoming pregnant.  Not only am I conscious about what I put in my body, I’m also aware of what I put ON my body.  Did you know it takes 26 seconds for chemicals to enter the bloodstream?  “Environmental Working Group published a combination of two studies that found toxic chemicals in the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies born in the U.S.. They screened for more than 400 chemicals, and an astounding 287 toxins were detected within the umbilical cord blood of these newborns. Of these 287 chemicals, 217 were neurotoxins, and 208 are known to damage growth development or cause birth defects.” -Deborah Burnes.  You can read more about those studies published HERE
