Maybe. That’s why the FDA is considering banning Triclosan, a bacteria-killing chemical used in hand sanitizers and liquid soaps. Some experts think that it alters hormones and helps to create antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Further studies are needed to determine if the additive is dangerous. The reality is, we really don’t know yet. The jury is still out on this one. It’s best just to go old school and use regular soap and water to clean your hands until we know more.

Phthalates are used to enhance fragrance or make it last longer. They are commonly found in perfumes, fragrance, hair products, deodorants, body lotions and nail polish. Unfortunately they are NOT required to be listed on labels as they are classified as proprietary. This is a cause for concern as consumers have no real way of knowing which products contain them. In order to be a savvy consumer avoid products that claim an ingredient as ‘fragrance’ or ‘perfume’. They are believed to cause cancer, disrupt DNA and have been linked to birth defects. Always read your labels and use products that are phthalate-free.

Remember to keeps your pets hydrated in this scorching summer sun. Not only do dogs love fresh water, but they like it to be ice cold. Change out your dogs water every hour or so, and add a few ice cubes to keep the water ice cold. My Bichon Frise, Ginger, loves her “doggie cocktail” with three ice cubes.

Your body benefits greatly just by the simple act of deep breathing. A slow, controlled breath will not only soothe the central nervous system to make you more relaxed, but also helps your body in these ways:
- Lowers blood pressure
- Relaxes muscles
- Helps weight loss
- Increases energy
- Calms the mind
- Aids sleep
- Fights wrinkles
- Slows heart rate
- Aids in digestion
- Boosts the lymphatic system (which carries toxins away from the cells)

To eliminate puffy eyes quickly, simply place something cold over the eyes for several minutes. The secret with cucumbers on the eyes is not in the cucumber itself, it’s that the cucumber retains the cold temperature. You can get the same effect by placing a spoon in the refrigerator for a couple hours, then placing the spoons over the eyes. Tea bags that have been moistened, then refrigerated…same thing. A washcloth wrapped around a couple pieces of ice, again, totally effective in combating puffy eyes.

Plastic bags are not biodegradable. Even if they say they are, they do not decompose fully. Also the ink is made up of cadmium, and is highly toxic when it is released. Whereas paper bags are reusable and biodegradable. If your purchase is small don’t take any bag, this alone could save hundreds of millions of bags. Bring a cloth bag when you shop, or use string bags.
