Eco Conscious Beauty, Health & Home: Every Woman's Right

The average woman will use 25 (to men’s 9 or 10) personal care products on herself during the course of a day (shampoo, makeup, body lotion, nail polish, mouthwash, deodorant, hair color, perfume, wrinkle cream, sunscreen, etc.), 365 days a year, year in and year out, for as long as she lives.  Some of the ingredients that are allowed in our personal care products also show up in car engine degreasers, oven cleaners, and gasoline.  There is no regulating body, nor ingredients labeling law to protect us. 

The overwhelming majority of household cleaning products are used by women – either as the homeowner herself or the cleaning help employed by the homeowner. 
We are the ones breathing in the residual fumes from potentially toxic ingredients (chlorine and ammonia, found in many common cleaning products can create a poisonous gas when combined, for example).  Cleaning supply manufacturers are not required to list ingredients on the label.

Topics Covered:

• Learn how to read ingredients labels on personal care products and shop for safer, more effective products
• Learn how to shop for safer, more eco-friendly cleaning products when no ingredients are listed
• Learn how to become your own self-care advocate for a healthier, more beautiful you
• A beauty drawer and medicine cabinet makeover anyone can do
• Take home recipes for making your own personal care and cleaning products

Mindfulness as Good Medicine

Every day a new report surfaces to trumpet what we should all be doing to be healthier:  The secret is probiotics!  Turn upside down for 5 minutes every day!  Vitamin D is the answer!  While it’s crucial to be aware of good health habits on this level, we often times miss the deeper understanding of where good health actually comes:  from an integrated, holistic approach that contains a mind/body connection, and an individual/community approach to living.   Live a richer, fuller, more meaningful life now.

Topics in this talk:

• How to re-make your wellness profile: create new habits, change up the old ones.
• How to re-define your consumer habits and decrease your stress
• How to re-think your relationship to time  (Hint:  it’s like a good relationship to money)
• Find out about the 4 levels of eco-mindfulness in action that will change your life
