I have been a professional hairstylist and makeup artist for 16 years. When I first started, I knew there were positive or negative effects on our bodies based off the ingredients in products. However, a few years in, I found myself trapped in a sea of toxins because I needed superior performance and felt like the “natural” brands couldn’t hold up. Well my friends, that’s just not true. Two years ago, I made it a goal to switch out my personal kit to test the waters. There were definitely some not so great picks but so many more great ones. Last year, I completely switched my professional kit over to products that are made without a long, ever-evolving list of ingredients linked to harmful health effects, including known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.
In 2015, I was ready for a change. I wanted a more simplified life. I was far from Plain Jane. I had over 500 pieces in my wardrobe, and I would get a workout just from pushing and shoving my way through my closet. I had bins full of costumes and specialty clothing. My drawers were overflowing. I had no idea how much I spent on clothing, although I’d like to think it wasn’t much. I wouldn’t say I was necessarily looking for happiness in “stuff” but it was definitely keeping me from experiencing freedom in many areas of my life. I was spending much of my time, energy, and resources on de-cluttering, organizing, and cleaning or at least trying to deal with the stress of having clutter all around me. At first, it was a personal journey to minimize and simplify but as I got into it, my eyes were open to human rights, environmental impact, peace of mind, and so much more. I had no idea the negative impact I was making on people, our planet, and my family’s health.
