No Parabens in These Pits

After returning from the Naturally Boulder Day, Jen Maxwell-Muir has been on a chemical kick - of the get rid of them sort. Of course here at Maxwell we all do our best to live green and buy safe, healthy products but, even still, most of us have at least a few paraben and phthalate-laden products lying around. Well, at least I'll admit it that I do.

Things have changed in my house since Jen came back from Boulder fired up about endocrine-disrupters and rightfully so - there's nothing good about them. Once Jen had unleashed her battery of knowledge from Boulder I huffed home to confirm that my products were fine, but instead found out they were not. The very body wash I had been so regularly rubbing on my body, lymph nodes and glands, was full of the bad P chemicals.

The good news is that as soon as I made my startling discovery I stomped right over to Target and bought a much better body wash by one of our favorite companies, Method.The new wash is paraben-free and comes in the cutest box bottle with sassy pack copy and very yummy sniffs. I bought the Green Mint scent and body lotion to go with. The unborn wee one (due in March) will thank me for ceasing to disrupt his endocrines and my pod mates will thank me for smelling so awesome. Win/win, that's what I say.
