What you need to know about VOCs
When it comes to creating a haven within our four walls, the last thing we imagine is introducing potential health hazards disguised as pleasant scents. However, recent research has turned attention towards seemingly innocent household staples: wax melts and air fresheners. These items, though popular for their aromatic appeal, are now under scrutiny for potentially compromising our health.

Purdue University's latest findings have turned heads by highlighting the health risks associated with Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are not only adept at vaporizing into the air but are also key ingredients in many aromatic products. While their divine scents might seem like a dream, the truth is far less enticing.

VOCs, when released indoors, can significantly impact air quality. 

Short-term exposure might result in bothersome symptoms like:
    • irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat
    • persistent headaches
    • and even nausea. 
More alarmingly, prolonged exposure has been linked to more serious health issues such as:
    • respiratory problems
    • various allergies
    • and even an increased risk of certain cancers.
Imagine relaxing at home, only to experience these discomforts—it's not ideal. I also learned when my son and daughter were young that these harmful chemicals can speed up puberty in girls and delay puberty in boys.  

Our most vulnerable loved ones—children, the elderly, and our beloved pets—are especially at risk. Their growing, aging, or simply different physiology makes them more susceptible to the adverse effects of VOCs. This revelation begs an urgent reassessment of how we scent our homes.

But there's good news! 
Keeping your home fresh and inviting doesn’t need to come with unnecessary risks. There are safer alternatives that not only eliminate the threat of VOCs but also add wellness-enhancing benefits. Imagine a home where comfort and health go hand in hand.

All natural hacks on how to detoxify your body, home & mind. Helping families create a tranquil space!


Meet Charlotte, Caleb & Christa

 
It took a long time to start a family but once we did I knew that’s what I was supposed to do! I love my kids and wanted the best for them. Sadly, life wasn’t perfect and they were sick way too often! Stress, fears, gene mess-ups, and low immunity ruled our lives and I came to a place where I was just DONE!  It’s hard to look back and even think about where we were!   

Honestly, I was sick and tired of everyone being sick and tired. I was drained. More than that…I believed I was failing everyone around me, and the pressure and unknowns took me to disturbing, hard places. This is not a good place to be as a mom at any time!  Not having hope or peace in that situation made it hard for me to function!  

I was searching for a new normal and found it! A friend of mine was doing her own natural journey and had done lots of research.  She shared what she was doing! At this point, I had nothing to lose and started my own journey!  It didn’t take long before I realized we were less stressed and I had ways to support my kid’s health through natural means!  
 
I don’t even want to imagine where our lives would be if I had not taken this step of faith! Literally!  

Now? We have hope! I also have confidence that my kids can experience their best life!  I’m on a mission to lead others to that same freedom that we have experienced.  You can have better and you deserve the best!
