Deodornt

Let’s talk deodorant. That is a big issue and a milestone during my change. Deodorant is a genius invention! Mankind went through thousands of years smelling of bad odder, so whoever invented deodorant got his place in heaven. Having thought that imagine my surprise when I learned how harmful deodorant can be. I was quite naïve at that point, and I didn’t think someone would intentionally toxin inside something consumed by all mankind.

This is a product that is designed and manufactured by intelligent people

These lab-created products were created by intelligent people.  people who learned a thing or 2, they have a degree or two. They are knowingly selling a harmful product that contains aluminum, parabens, and other synthetic ingredients, purely for profit.

This was a big, huge wake-up call.

While that a new chapter in my life began. I decided I to leave my profession as a lawyer and become a lactation consultant.

Two changes paved the way to my new life.

I didn’t plan it.

As I started this new journey in my life, I learned about the amazing nutrients in breast milk and how big pharma and ignorant doctors have diverted women from breastfeeding to formula feeding. However, I was most thankful that I was able to breastfeed my firstborn child, even without that knowledge.

When I realized how misleading and misinformed where the doctors were about breastmilk, I started wondering what else was misleading.  The change I was going through was not just for my health, I will use it to influence others.

I was at a crossroads – excited to choose my new path.

State Of Mind

The change was unacceptable. I didn’t feel it coming. It just happened as I was going through my routine. It started when I shopped.
I started reading the back of each package I took at the market, wondering what these long letter words and all those letters were associated with numbers that I didn’t recognize. I took a package of pastrami. Everyone buys pastrami. I flipped the package and it said that its only 70 percent or something like that, meat. Why? What are the extra 30%?

Honestly, I didn’t give it much thought at the time, I just returned the box to the shelf and thought to myself, we just didn’t really need pastrami this week.

Gradually, as I kept reading, I noticed the sugars hidden in plain site just about everywhere. We will get to that

the change snuck up on me through my shopping cart, and the next natural step was cosmetic. I realized that the more a brand spends on advertising the more you need to stay away from it.

And that is the catchy part, there are no guarantees, You start changing, not with 100% success, the brands you buy, some just appear natural others are too natural. It’s long research that I’m still conducting. I had to spend money, try new brands. This was easy, it took me time and money. What I found challenging was the social aspects. I’m living the city life and I love what the city has to offer, my social circle struggled with my change and was quite judgmental at first. I was often asked why I still live in the city. Since my new philosophy had not been founded yet, I  started making excuses instead of asking them why weren’t them waking up. But I did eventually – we will get to that as well.

Beginnings

many thoughts

My Journey Begins with my Parenthood I was a city girl celebrating life. I didn’t look so far ahead, I’m not sure I was that ready to become a parent but there I was in my late twenties with my first born realizing that I was just not the person I used to be. I need to find my own way and to grow myself as a mother alongside my baby. Luckily I came to this understanding very within the first few weeks of giving birth. The understanding that I would do anything to keep my baby healthy is all I cared about.

Since I breastfed all my kids the first six months, I didn’t really need a lot of stuff, like not too much bottles, not too much dummies. I did pump milk on occasion and I did offer it to my baby on occasion but they fed for me I loved. Having that baby. Growing from something that I. Produce. It was magic. For me at least.

Naturally, when my kid started solid foods another tiny change occurred. I remember thinking: this is a whole new world to explore. I’m not up for it right now since she’s only eating all the purees and the baby. I don’t need to deal with it right now, I’m just going to watch how I cook my food and how I contain it. That was the only thing I did for a really long time. I took out all of the disposable’s stuff out of my kitchen and stopped using aluminum foil. Just by doing that, I realized that my husband and I were benefiting from from this as well. And even though we stayed there for a while, I knew it was the beginning of a bigger change was just waiting around the corner to occur.

ME!

Somewhere along the line of my 35th birthday, I came across this understanding that in my own modest way, I have accomplished some knowledge I can share with others. It took me a but I’m doing it. I have cleared my thoughts and am willing to share them with my insights.

I’m Lala my heart for this blog since it’s my firstborn nickname and she marks the big change it my life, the moment my path was clear and everything made more sense.

My kids taught me that I don’t have to choose I’m a city girl I’m a beach Girl and I’m also a nature girl. I have found the perfect Synergy to combine all those three aspects of my life into me. I love going to the beach, I love going to camping and having my bare feet touch the ground. I also love that expensive designer bag that makes my outfit complete or a nice fancy dinner out.

this blog is about the Synergy of my character and how I’ve combined the three and I hope you’ll find my life and my advice meaningful.
