So it has been a while....
I've been busy with exam prep and the actual exams themselves. How did I go? let's not talk about that- it makes me depressed. Nevertheless, about 2 months ago, it quite suddenly struck me that my unhealthy lifestyle wasn't doing me any good. I know, I know, I had always known that junk food wasn't great for the body but I really wanted to start living a healthier, more natural lifestyle.
It all started a couple of years ago when I noticed that I'd break out in a sweat only on my face when I had Red Rock Deli Honey Soy Chicken Chips (I know, that's really specific and gross, sorry). It soon expanded to salty biscuits, cookies, Mcdonald's and now, just about everything that is classified as junk food with the exception of carrot cake.
I decided to change my habits, swap eating out for eating in, purchasing fresh fruits and products in the health food aisle. I also minimised my meat production just because I didn't feel the necessity of eating meat (when I mean meat I mean beef, pork, poultry).
I also started looking at the ingredients in the products that I used on an every day basis; my skincare and I realised that there were quite a few nasty chemicals e.g. parabens and sulfates. Of course, a little of the stuff in moderation isn't going to kill you but I do used a lot of these types of products on a regular basis so it does become a little concerning.
Why not choose the more natural alternative if it costs pretty much the same and is better for you?
Anyway, that's all just my opinion. Take what you will from it but I definitely am not enforcing any sort of radical ideology on you guys so don't worry :)
I am though, saving a lot of money because my fear of chemicals is preventing me from purchasing any more products (I guess that's a good thing). Of course, I'm not going to waste the products I already have so I will use them up but I definitely won't be repurchasing them.
Enough of my rant, how was your day?
With Love,
The Wallflower
