Have you heard me use the phrase “simple swaps” over the past few months or year? 

I have been using this term lately as a way to describe one of my favorite things: 
easy baby steps to wellness

 
Simple swaps are simple, affordable swaps of products in your home to non-toxic alternatives. Baby steps to wellness! I know they can seem insignificant, but they add up over time as you take one step, then the next, then the next. 

But why do it? Well, toxins build up in our body. It’s a process called bioaccumulation and it’s a real thing. Our bodies have an amazing detoxifying system, but not everything gets flushed out. I give myself support & tools to help me live my healthiest, such as supporting my body in detoxification & keeping exposure to toxins minimized. 

Biggest ways to minimize toxins is to be picky about my: diet, water quality, home air quality, and personal care ingredients. Those four things make a HUGE impact.

I think it’s quite possible that my #1 most favorite Simple Swap is Thieves Cleaner. This swap alone has saved me more money than I could calculate, so much time & given me back so much ease and convenience when it comes to keeping my home clean & sanitized! 





Just the “fragrance” alone in products is something to be highly cautious about! I found a great resources you may like here


It’s alarming, but I think it’s best to be smart and intentional. Check it out if you like. Lots of info available online about the dangers of household cleaning ingredients. 









But the long and short of it is that I have found an amazing solution in YL Thieves Cleaner. It’s multi-purpose and a real work horse!!

Instead of spending $5 bucks a bottle and using all sorts of stuff throughout my home, I just stick with THHC (Thieves Household Cleaner). It’s smart shopping and smart wellness! 

If you’re due to stock up on cleaners or ready to make a simple swap for the healthier, it’s a great time to grab some! 

5 reasons you might consider using a plant based cleaner

1. Safety: Have you ever actually read the label on the back of an 'off the shelf' cleaner? There are so many warnings: Flammable! Do not ingest! Call Poison Control! Keep out of reach of children! Many chemicals used in household cleaners have not been tested for safety. Household cleaning supplies are one of the top 5 most toxic and accounting for Poison Control calls. The ingredients in these cleaners are,
carcinogenic, endocrine disruptors, and neurotoxins. No-one is safe from the damages of these toxins.  Most vulnerable, are children, elderly and pets, even newborns are born with hundreds of chemicals in their cord blood.
2. Air quality: the home can be the most dangerous air to breathe, depending on the cleaners and air fresheners being used,  VOC's aren't just in paint... most cleaning products contain these VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds).  This class of chemicals (don't be fooled by 'organic') have been associated with many health problems, including; kidneys, brain and liver. They have also been shown to harm our lungs and cause throat irritations and headaches. VOCs linger for days, so if you clean once a day your air is polluted with toxins 24/7. This baffles me because I can't even tell you the amount of times I spray our counters, daily.  
3. Environmental impact: Harsh chemicals found in cleaners are not only harmful to our bodies, but they also have a major impact on the environment and are huge contributors to environmental pollution. Some conventional cleaning products contain ingredients that are toxic, non-biodegradable, and from non-renewable resources like petroleum, so they harm the Earth’s ecosystems. Harsh chemicals may contaminate the water through rivers, streams, and lakes, which affects wildlife, plants, trees, and us! Plus, there are thousands of chemicals that are in cleaning products that have never been tested for safety.
4. Convenience: I literally use 1 spray, and 1 scrub, that's it.  How simple is that and i'm not storing toxins under my sink hoping nobody accidentally gets a hold of themIt’s much easier to clean with a few products that take care of all your cleaning needs, rather than a having whole arsenal of toxic products under your sink and in your bathrooms. With Thieves® Household Cleaner, you can tackle multiple cleaning jobs in your home without switching products as you clean! It cleans countertops, windows, mirrors, floors, toilets, showers, and pretty much everything else. Plus, you don’t have to worry about getting bleach stains on your clothes or accidentally mixing dangerous chemicals together. It’s worth a try for the convenience alone.
5. Cost: Cleaners can be expensive, they target you for buying a cleaner for each thing you clean... so that friends as you know adds up. The Thieves Household Cleaner is so cost effective!  In one concentrated bottle, there is enough  to make around 29; 16-ounce cleaners. Do the math... it doesn't get better than that.  The money you're saving and the down the road money in your health you're saving is epic!
