Natural fibre bras

I was just wondering where I could find a bra that’s 100% synthetic fibre free cause I have very sensitive skin and I’ve been having to either go braless or wear my uncomfortable synthetic bras that irritate my skin. A more affordable brand would be preferable but any recommendations would be great! Thank you!!!

How to be Less Toxic (Part 2/4)

We are all victims of circumstance. What motivates one will fail another.

Part 2, explores how hersonal change for the better is difficult.

Whether for personal benefit or to do good in the wider world, our psychology resists it. Regardless of our best intents.

Lack of compassion when attempting to better ourselves, for oneself or others, is the most toxic thing to our efforts.

Understand. Be kind. Only then can you be better.

Best non-toxic pest control options

I found a pest guy that I like to fix my cockroach problem. What is the best non-toxic (but effective) thing I can have him use on the inside of the house? Cabinets and such

The pest guy wants to line the cabinets (as if he were caulking it) with some kind of bait for the cockroaches. We’ll need to use it across most of our cabinets in the kitchen (which I’m in all day). He wants to use a product called Vendetta Nitro. I’m guessing people will tell me that product is bad for me?

Is there something safer and more non-toxic that he can line the cabinets with? I think he’ll work with me if I can find him the right product. Thanks a lot.

What non toxic dish soap is everyone using and sticking with?

I am trying to move my kitchen toward cleaner products.

My understanding is that the drugstore options are cheap but light on ingredient disclosure, while the boutique brands cost more but tend to publish full formulas and use disclosed fragrance. Has anyone tried Homecourt and diptyque products?

I want a few more names to weigh before I commit. Appreciate your thoughts and suggestions thanks!!

the most important and least important nontoxic stuff

Nontoxic things are more expensive than ordinary things so not everyone can afford that. What do you think are the most important things which can change a lot for our health and things that don't change a lot and aren't that much important? And also are there maybe any things that are cheaper than usual things?

Plastic free clothing feels like it's not made for me. Anyone else?

The thought of constantly wearing plastic on my skin bothers me, I really think it's not normal that almost all of our daily clothing is filled with plastic.

But every single plastic free brand has the same vibe. Earthy and eco focused targeted towards a very specific identity.

Not for the average 20-35 yo that just wants casual better for you loungewear.

Either you buy from Nike, Essentials or other well known brands and ignore that it's part polyester, or you go full crunchy eco sustainability brand.
Wondering if this is just me?

Our Place - wonder oven / Air Fryer?!

Does anyone have the Our Place - air fryer?

Wondering if when you first use it, does it have the odor that needs to "cook off"?

How do you like this air fryer?

Best bottled water that has the least amount of toxins?

I am looking for an affordable bottled water, preferably glass, that is the most toxic free. I’m having a hard time finding a brand that fits this criteria. Either it’s affordable but has PFAS or is PFAS free but has micro plastics or is very toxin free but is outrageous in pricing. Ive been drinking Acqua Panna which I like but idk if I can trust what the Oasis app says about it because what I’ve seen is that app isn’t trustworthy.

If there is an affordable water filter that can filter out PFAs and everything else in our water, then that would be amazing.

If anyone has any recommendations I would truly appreciate it! I’m going through amazon or online in general as well, since my local stores probably won’t have your recommendations.

Again, I prefer glass bottles. Not plastic.

Edit: didn’t know there are water filters that can filter out PFAs. So that’s fantastic. But our water has A LOT of issues, not just PFAs. Actually it’s so bad, that our water quality is the worst in our state. So we need a super water filter.

Best latex mattress long-term reviews? Considering the investment

I've been trying to replace a few things around my house with cleaner and more natural options and my mattress is next on the list.

I’ve been looking into natural latex mattresses since they’re the most common option for people who wants more natural materials. You think it’s worth the investment? What are some good latex mattresses I need to consider?

Please sign this petition to ban fragrances in Australian medical settings (I believe anyone can sign it). https://c.org/RgmR4JZRtX

As someone with MCAS I can’t get safe medical care. This isn’t my personal petition but I’m passing it on :)

Shards in my kettle ?

I bought this cosori kettle a few weeks ago, as it seemed to be the most recommended among the non-toxic electric kettles.

But I noticed today what looks like little reflective shards in the water.

It’s hard to see from the photo.

But does anyone own this same kettle and noticed this ? Is this something I should be worried about or is there an explanation for this?

The other kettle I was considering buying was the all steel kettle from Aarke, but I didn’t want to drop $300 on a kettle at the moment. Does anyone have any recommendations on other nontoxic electric kettles ?

TYIA!

The biggest toxin is fear

Transitioning to a nontoxic lifestyle is a phenomenal way to improve your health but when you go down the rabbit hole, it’s extremely easily to become completely anxious and paranoid once you realize how terrible the situation actually is.

I’ve found myself obsessing over every little thing, to the point where it’s hard to see life the same way.

Now even though these toxins play a big role in your overall health and mood, most of your well being comes down to your state of mind.

I think we’ve all met people with extreme toxin intakes that are extremely enlightened and filled with joy, and we’ve also probably met holistic and natural people that aren’t too happy with their lives.

It’s a very known fact that your mental state can heavily affect your health and I think a lot of people forget this.

These toxins are very bad and can be very alarming but ultimately it’s not the end of the world and you aren’t going to immediately die.

So while you focus on your nontoxic journey, make sure you do so from a place of peace and wisdom instead of a place of fear and panic.

Your toxin intake is likely way lower than the majority of the world, so remember to take a step back and see how far you’ve already come.
