Do you use natural cleaning products? It’s great to focus on filling your belly with nutritious foods, but if you’re cleaning your house with non-natural chemical formulas, you may be undoing some of your hard work by ingesting those toxins. Try to use natural alternatives that are non-toxic & eco-friendly. Good ole baking soda & vinegar are good for degreasing a sink or cleaning windows. Try this natural all-purpose cleaner recipe below...

Natural all-purpose cleaner:
3 parts filtered water
1 part white vinegar
2 tsp lemon juice
5 drops tea tee essential oil

What are your all natural cleaner go to’s ? Drop your favorites in the comments below!

Gut health seems to be all the rage these days, and for good reason! The gut is home to millions of little bacteria that help maintain your immune system, digest your food, and have a huge effect on the health of your skin. Once you start to improve your gut health you’ll notice a more balanced digestion, you’ll experience more energy and clarity of mind as well as clearer, firmer, more glowing skin and healthy, strong hair and nails. A great step in promoting gut health is adding in fermented foods like kombucha, kimchi, pickled veggies, and omega-3 rich foods like salmon, walnuts, & chia seeds. Try making your own pickled red onions and top on some veggies or fish tacos...

Pickled Red Onions

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 small red onion
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 cup hot water
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp mustard seeds (optional)
1 tsp raw honey (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Very thinly slice onion and pack tightly into a glass jar with a lid.
2. Heat the water to boiling. Mix with the vinegars, salt, honey, and mustard seeds. Stir until the salt and optional honey are dissolved.
3. Pour the hot liquid over the onions, covering them completely. Close the lid and give it a little shake.
4. Refrigerate onions overnight.
5. Store tightly sealed in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
