But Honestly...

I try not to follow too many celebrities on social media because, well for one, I don't personally know them and two, I'm not fond of many. However, Jessica Alba is one that despite her stunning physical appearance, has managed to stay very humble and out of tabloid drama. I respect that. I'm super glad I picked up her recently published book, The Honest Life, which acts as a guide for those wanting to live a life free of toxic chemicals in personal care products, pesticides and GMO's in their food and focus's on how to keep your baby/ies safe from all of it. 

I've literally just begun reading it and already couldn't wait to share a blog post about it.

She also recently co-founded The Honest Company which has developed products (think cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, personal care, and baby care) all natural and honestly free of harsh chemicals and also eco-friendly. She stresses how so many companies who boast a lot of claims about being eco-friendly are in fact "greenwashing" - making it seem like their products are more eco-friendly than they actually are. In other words, "lying". It's so disturbing that even with the consequences of false advertising, there are still so many companies that get away with bullshit. Well, fool me once, shame on me, fool me a lot of times shame on me again for not looking into the products I use in the place I live and the clothes I {& baby Jude} wear.

Start asking questions folks! About everything. Jessica's book is a great place to start because she's done so much research on her own. Eat organic, stay away from plastic, stop using products with chemicals and toxins that have never been tested on human health {ie. many diaper brands!}. The Honest Company keeps living honestly super cute and stylish too, something VERY important to me!

What's even better is that everything is budget-friendly. Unfortunately they don't ship to Canada yet, but you can bet I'm getting a whack load of stuff shipped to my in-laws who live in the States. The things I'll do to get my hands on some pretty {& safe} diapers - I mean skull and crossbones? Yes please!
