BDirty Co was created to make a natural lifestyle easy and accessible for everyone, especially Moms. We are very familiar with the hustle and hard work that goes into a 24 hour period, and raising small humans is a job where you’re always on call. Be easy on yourself when it comes to making the “better” choice. Here are 5 simple tips to incorporate natural living into your daily life as a natural Mom.
Natural Mom Tip #1
Don’t buy from retailers selling unregulated toxic chemical products, like dollar stores and discount retailers. We love a bargain, but the price you pay on what these ingredients do to our health and planet is not worth the harm.
Natural Mom Tip #2
You only need 3 ingredients to clean your home: Lemons, Baking Soda, and Vinegar. Not only does this tip save you some serious money, they clean just about anything! From windows to countertops, there’s no need to have an arsenal of toxic concoctions under your counter that is within arms reach of your little ones. Find great cleaning recipes from the Wellness Momma here!
Natural Mom Tip # 3
Use products that are free of parabens, aluminum, and phthalates. Read the ingredients on every skin care product. If you stay clear of these 3 chemicals, that’s a great start!
Check out BDirty Co Deodorants which are created with only clean and natural ingredients! We make all-natural deodorants in small batches, on a Farmstead nestled in the Slocan Valley, BC. We truly care about what goes on our bodies and yours… because what goes on, also goes in.
Natural Mom Tip #4
Soak up any “Me Time” you get with handmade bath bombs! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup 100% pure food grade citric acid
- 2 1/4 cup baking soda
- a spray bottle filled with water
- 1 tablespoon of witch hazel
- molds (we found these reusable molds!)
We love to add dried herbs from the Farmstead like lavender and dried rosemary, to make them even more luxurious!
Natural Mom Tip #5
Treat yourself to certified organic flowers, not pesticides. We all know that pesticides are harmful to our health and to our planet. Let’s support local organic farms to take a stand against the conventional floral industry to protect the most important Mother out there, Mother Nature.
