Thinking Outside the Box...cont'd.

After I made my earlier post today I was talking with a friend of mine. I told her how I was finding so many articles about ways to live more natural and things to be wary of, etc. And I was starting to feel overwhelmed and somewhat defeated, but she reminded me, "You can drive yourself crazy trying to be a purist" :) And she's right, so I have decided that I'll start a little smaller with 3 goals to work on to change to a more natural life and here they are:

1. FOOD
2. BEAUTY PRODUCTS
3. STUFF

These are three important things that I feel will affect my life the most and that I want to focus on changing.

Food-Try and buy more natural and organic fruits, veggies, and meats especially.
Beauty Products-Try to find beauty products that are free from harmful chemicals or even to the point that they are food-safe (contain products that are actually regulated by the FDA) or to try and make my own whenever possible.
Stuff-To decide what is important in my life to keep and to sell or donate the rest. Then I want to change the kind of consumer I am and try and limit my buying to essentials...the more stuff I have in my house, the more potential for waste and chaos. Plus, the less I buy unnecessary items, the more room I have in my budget for natural foods and products.
