Do You Have Anxiety or Depression?

I was reading a post on Facebook yesterday and a woman was asking for help in coping with anxiety and panic attacks. Her post was specifically geared towards ideas to help get through it.

Let me tell you though, I’ve been there and mine was definitely related to hormone imbalance. And, there wasn’t anything I really could do to help cope with it. I had to tackle the hormone imbalance to fix it.

In today’s world, it’s so easy for our hormones get out of balance. With the toxins in our skin care, water, food and environment and the stress in our lives, it’s almost a given that it will happen. Estrogen dominance in particular is something very common for both men and women. Symptoms of estrogen dominance in women can include: allergies, anxiety, breast tenderness, breast cancer, depression, fat gain (espeically in the abdomen, hips, and thighs), fatigue, foggy thinking, gallbladder issues, hair loss, infertility, insomnia, miscarriage, uterine fybroids, and many others. I just turned 53 and need to supplement some with progesterone. I hadn’t used much in a while but was just thinking that I was getting more tired and depressed. I used just a small amount and felt much better the next day. I did suggest to her that she should do her own research or see a functional medicine doctor. In my experience, most doctors aren’t very knowledgeable on hormone imbalances. One book I’ve gotten much information from is Hormone Balance Made Simple by Dr. John Lee.

One thing I highly suggest is using clean skin care and makeup and less toxic household cleaners. These things most definitely have an impact on hormones. There are so many great options out there now to pick from and you don’t have to drop a bunch of money for them. Take a look around my blog where I share my favorites 🙂

About Me

Hello! My name is Lisa. I’m not super girlie, but I do love good skin care and makeup. I try my best to find products that are as clean as possible. It’s important to me since our skin is our largest organ and we can easily absorb toxins into our bloodstream through our skin which can truly affect our health negatively.

After searching for a while for a skin care and makeup company that has all I’m looking for, I decided to partner with Beauty Society. I’ve seen many before and after pictures of transformations using their skin care line and love it myself. They offer a clean skin care line and their makeup also is good for your skin. They are cruelty free, made in the USA, and have an incredible product guarantee. I want to share these amazing products with you, along with some other clean affiliate products.

Since I am over half a century old now (ugh!), I also actively search for good supplements to help me age gracefully. I’ve kinda let my health go the last 5 years or so, but am back on the wagon trying to do better. Consistency is so important! Over time, positive changes will happen! I will share some of my favorite products with you and what I’ve learned as well.

I can be contacted by email here: lisa.beyourbeautiful@gmail.com

I would love to connect with you!

Do Your Cleaning Products Cause Lung Damage?

They may be!!!!

If you’re cleaning mostly with the national brand cleaners you buy off the store shelves,  you are probably damaging your lungs by cleaning with them.

An independent study based on 20 years of research revealed that cleaning your home with national brand cleaners significantly damages lung tissue.    Almost all of the cleaning products you purchase at the grocery store and made with a multitude of harmful chemicals, mainly being ammonia, chlorine bleach, and quanternary disinfectant compounds.  They study showed that cleaning as little as once per week with these products was as damaging over time to respiratory health as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years!!  The study found as well with the participants that simply cleaning at home saw the same lung damage as those who did occupational cleaning.

The study found that liquid cleaners are just as dangerous as sprays.  There was no significant difference between those who used a spray or mist as compared to those who used a liquid, gel, or wipe.   Also, according to the study, the damage is cumulative over time.

It’s so easy to clean with safe products, and I’ve found they actually do a much better job as well.  My favorite products to clean with are Norwex, Modere, Melaleuca, and Young Living. .   Melaleuca’s Ecosense cleaning products contain no: chlorine bleach, ammonia, abrasives, phosphates, quaternary disinfectants, phthalates, triclosan, parabens, or formaldehyde. And…no child-proof caps are required.

Modere has an excellent line of cleaners as well that are gray water safe.  That means that they use ingredients that are safe for the reintroduction into the environment and reuse for personal projects like watering the garden. Their dishwasher soap is the best I have used.

Norwex has an extensive line of microfiber cloths that are woven much thicker than other microfiber cloths.  Ones that can get wet or should get wet also have silver woven into the cloth as well to inhibit bacterial growth.  Ever smell a cloth that’s been wet a couple days??  Norwex microfiber cloths self-clean and so they won’t begin to smell.

Young Living has a line of cleaners with the Thieves blend in them.  Their all purpose cleaner comes as a concentrate and can be mixed for different strengths based on your need.  It can be used on virtually any surface.  I don’t use it myself on painted surfaces or sealed wood surfaces though.
