Did you know that on average, women use 12 personal care products daily? The average man uses around 6. Do you have any idea how many chemicals are in those products or what those chemicals do to the body?? Here is a video called ‘The Story of Cosmetics.’
‘The Story of Cosmetics, released on July 21st, 2010, examines the pervasive use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo. Produced with Free Range Studios and hosted by Annie Leonard, the seven-minute film by The Story of Stuff Project reveals the implications for consumer and worker health and the environment, and outlines ways we can move the industry away from hazardous chemicals and towards safer alternatives. The film concludes with a call for viewers to support legislation aimed at ensuring the safety of cosmetics and personal care products.’

In 2005, I had my native naming ceremony and was given the name 'Strawberry Woman.' I was told that my life purpose is to follow my heart and my name is a reminder of this (the 'heart shaped' berry.) I created this blog so that I could share my journey with you.
