Hippie Mom

I'm not sure how it happened - but I have made some changes in the last few years. First I got into yoga. I had some back problems after working on our house for several months and I found that yoga dissolved my issues. I love doing yoga I just struggle to find time to do it like I wish I could. One day I think it would be so fun to go to a real class with Bryan Kest. Okay so he is a little weird but his yoga is the best. And yes I think I could handle the guy in person - I'm sure my husband couldn't stand five minutes of the guy. I like him.

Next I think came the eating and cooking without meat. I still break out the beef once in a while but generally my cooking is meat free. I find we feel much better without it and we definitely get more fiber than we did in the past.

The step after that was changing my hygiene products. I now use shampoo, cleanser, hairspray and even toothpaste from all natural sources. No more pesticides or sulfates making their way into my shower regimen. Even most of my makeup is now plant based and cleaner. My skin is much healthier than it ever has been. If you are looking for a good facial cleanser may I recommend the sensitive cleansing gel from www.kettlecare.com I love that they grow their own herbs for their products.

Now the movement is creeping into what I want to wear. I bought a bamboo t-shirt a while back and boy is it soft! I found a web site recently with organic clothing and bamboo clothing (there are quite a few out there) but I must say that I want to buy my clothes from them. I don't ever wear anything too fancy so the styles fit my life. What's next? Well maybe I will break out some tye dye or a do-rag who knows. I won't get into the drug scene or free love so that may be as far as it goes. But the hippie changes have made my life better.
