Sometimes we see things that are so appallingly sad, it feels criminal, and as though there’s nothing we can do to make a difference. Looking at global problems on a big scale and thinking of ourselves as just one small person that can’t do much to make change can result in a feeling of […]
Read More ›Remember ‘nothing in a wrapper’? Most types have so many additives, I wouldn’t recommend touching them with a ten foot pole. Even if you’re not remotely Paleo, the mere fact that most chewing gums are little bursts of chemicals and don’t have any nutritional value, I can’t say there’s really any good reason to chew […]
Read More ›Hmmm.. probably not, but that doesn’t mean we should follow suit in this instance! We think about Paleo eating and Paleo moving, but how many of us think about Paleo bathing? In other words, are the products we use on our hair and bodies Paleo? Given my penchant for a nice Decleor facial and […]
