A breath of fresh air

Posted on 31 January 2008

Whenever I get time I like to check out other green blogs and recently I came across one called Green Unlimited which is run by three sisters. They talk about the latest green products, environmental news, and also about the steps they are taking in living greener lifestyles.

One of their latest posts was about an investigation conducted by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) which found hormone-altering chemicals in air fresheners.  I really do think that this should be highlighted to more people as not only do most of these smell awful, and I think can give you a headache.

Natural products such as lemon juice is a great alternative to shop brought air fresheners

I think that the best bet is to open your window or use natural products. For example in the kitchen I mix water with lemon juice and spray it in the air to get a nice refreshing and clean smelling kitchen. In the bedroom I dry lavender which makes my bedroom smell lovely. Having plants around your house is also a great way of creating a healthy, clean and nice smelling home.

I'm a yo-yo organic skincare products user, fluctuating between just not being able to afford it and then feeling after all that its well worth the extra cost.

Well not exactly!  What I mean is our governor has signed legislation prohibiting the use of phthalates in child care products for those 3 years and under.

    I agree rosemary is very nice. I also use cinammon sticks in the living room tied up with some ribbon and that smells lovely too.
