I'm Back!!!!

Hi everyone, yes I decided to take a summer hiatus, I'm sure everyone knows how busy things get so I don't even have to explain. But it's time to get going again, and I kicked things off with a little green party on Friday night. I think it was a big eye opener for some of you to find out what's in all those products you use everyday on yourself and on your kids. I know it's overwhelming and it seems daunting and expensive to go green, but remember it's all about baby steps and smart choices, and there is always a way to do it within your budget. I just want to thank everyone for participating Friday and here are some of the websites we discussed.

Lynne's website which has all the products(and the website I designed;))
littlegreenbooties.com

The Environmental Working Group site, which Dr. Otilia Naranjo talked about, and also the best and worst offenders as far as pesticides on food list. On the right hand bottom side is a cool little thing called more tools and resources that links you to most of the sites we talked about and some other too.

Also the product ratings website

Also thank you to Lindsey for the fab Arbonne presentation and footsoak and scrub, seriously was that not the best?

I think some of you seemed a bit overwhelmed with all the info, so I'm not gonna add any more...yet. But if you have any questions or concerns or want to know more, just let me know. Oh and there is also a "Little Things You Can Do to Go Green" night at the Ela Library this Wed Sept. 10th at 7pm and the woman who is doing the presentation is the owner of All Ways Healthy in Lake Zurich which I think is one of the best health food stores ever and they carry one of the largest selection of green products (ie-the natural deodorant that I think works best)
I know it's kind of a bad time but I'll see if I can get some notes.

Also if you are interested in trying to put together another Talkin' Green night, maybe next month, let me know and I'll get things going.
