Can my home truly be toxin free?

I have upped riding my home of toxins after my husband came down with an airway disease that they really don't know the cause of it.  But I got into thinking will my home ever truly be toxin free?  With my research into formaldehyde I have learned that there toxins everywhere we are.  They are man made and just in nature.  But what I can do is control what I can.  I can't say that yeah toxins are everywhere affecting my health and that of my family but I still have control and do what I can to limit the exposure.

This is one reason I signed on with Melaleuca.  I wanted to toxin free products because well frankly I just suck at making them.  I can cook and I can make just about anything but home made cleaner to be in that list. Plus my husband doesn't make then and he likes being able to just grab something and clean up a mess.  With Melaleuca I am given the power to control the toxins in my home via my cleaners.  This is a wonderful thing.  My husband can breath while helping with house hold chores. Making it a win win.

Every year a read a study about how the air health of our homes inside is worse than outside and this have much to do with the products in which we use to clean our homes than anything.  We bring in chemicals that are hazardous waste and shouldn't be thrown out in our normal trash.  We spray air fresheners in our homes to make them smell better that say things like do not breath in.  Or are made with chemicals that cost coat the inside of your nose and are not the safest to breath in either.

We can use products that are safe not only for our homes but for the earth. Yes I know at first Melaleuca's products look pricey but when you weight that they are concentrated and that you need much less than regular products they are fair cheaper in value.  I love working with this company.  I love helping other limit their toxin exposure.  I look forward to helping more families.  I also look forward into sharing why people need to make this switch and shop with Mela. and everything.

So while you can not live toxin free you can live with less toxins you just have to think through everything that is brought into your home.

Living Well with Charise 2012 Healthy Home, Family and Business Challenge.

In 2012 lets improve the health of your home, family (self), and/or business!

Ahh Christmas is over and I for one am happy about that.  This year was rough for my family and myself.  But moving on wards and up wards.  It's not that time of the year when people reflect and think about what they want to change in the upcoming year.   New Year's resolutions are something almost everyone does and they also fail 75% of the time.  Most people are great the first couple of months but six months out most have dropped what the resolutions where and moved on with life.

What I wanted to was a host a yearlong challenge focusing on the top ten resolutions that people make. Which  were listed here.  But I wanted to help more than with these areas, I wanted to help people make it that this is the year they get healthy in every part of their lives.  I want to help people get healthy homes, families and businesses. 

I also want to partner up with other home based businesses and have them share tips and advice that helps with the goals of this challenge.  We will also provide support.  And everyone who joins this challenge is welcomed and encouraged to join the Facebook group for the challenge.  Which can be found here.  

Healthy Homes Challenge:

In this section we will be focusing on the home.  We will focus on ridding our homes on needless toxins and making it a healthier place to live.  We will learn to read the labels of the products we need every day from cleaners to health and beauty aids and how to pick the right ones for our homes.  We will also focus on going green (one of the top ten new year's resolutions) and ways in which you can do this a little or a lot at a time.  We are also going to learning different organizing tips and even about products out their that will make our lives easier too.  And feel free to add to this list things that are important to you and if you want comment here or message me on Facebook to add yours.

Healthy Family (Self) Challenge:

In this part of the challenge we will focus on getting ourselves healthy and the lives of our family.  We will learn how to fit in that 30 minutes a day of working out into our busy scheduled and why it's important to do this at least 5 days a week, to drink more water at least 8 glasses a day.  We will also learn to read the labels of the food we buy and how to make small changes to improve our lives.  To read the labels of the products we use on our skin which is our largest organ and why it's important.

We are also going to focus on trying to find time for ourselves as well, time to help others in big and small ways, learn something new, spend time with friends and family, and a big one to enjoy life more.

Healthy Business Challenge:

In this area of the business we are going to share business tips for those in business and talk about ways in which to keep our businesses healthy and thriving.  We will talk about the products we use and how to keep them healthy from the cleaners we use to everything. How to keep our business green as much as possible as well.  We all also feature different business opportunities for those with out a business and looking to start one.   

How do I join:

It's easy just post here and/or join our Facebook group.  You don't have to do everything in this challenge just the parts that are important to you!  On here and in the group we will support each other.  Help you through the time you don't think you can do it.  And here on the blog will have posts from myself and others on the different parts of the challenge.  

Do I have to do everything?

Nope just that parts you to do.

I don't have a business do I need one or have to sign up for one?

No you do not need or have to sign up with a business to join this challenge I just happen to know many home base business women and thought it would be great to include that section.

Do I have to pay anything?

Good luck!

New Years is around the corner what are your resolutions?

I know it's early and Christmas hasn't come and gone yet.  But honestly I look at the New Year as a chance to change things I didn't like from the year before.  And this year I am going BIG, big I tell you.  Heck I have started some already.  So many fit into the top ten resolutions too, which are.

1. Spend more time with family and friends
2. Fit in fitness (getting that work out done every day in our busy lives)
3. Lose weight/get healthier
4. Quite smoking and drinking
5. Enjoy life more/find time for self
6. Get out of debt/Get a better job/Start your own business/Manage debt
7. Learn something knew
8. Help others
9. Get organized
10. Go Green

So many of my resolutions are on this list, and so many of them are also ones I want to help people with as well.  So that's why on Dec 26th. I will be launching my 2012 Healthy homes, healthy families, healthy businesses challenge.  This is a free to join challenge and one in which you do as much or as little as you like.  What we are doing is supporting each other as we move in and through 2012 this is a year long challenge to make big changes in our lives, our homes and if we choose our businesses.

I don't want to spoil the fun but please check back money Dec 26th for all of the details how to sign up and everything.  So go enjoy those holidays and get ready to make changes in 2012.
