Another Sad Story

on March 1, 2009 in fragrance free, health, MCS

I got this email last week as a comment on my web site Fragrance Free World. It just seems lik such a cruel world we live in, doesn’t it? One thing intrigued me. I’ve never really read about a connection between HPV or other vaccines and MCS. Have you? Over the last 2.5 years, I [...]

Toxins in Air Fresheners

on August 12, 2008 in fragrance, fragrance free, Tip-sy Tuesday, VOCs

Our local television news last week had an item about the toxins in air fresheners. I always have to remind myself that the general public isn’t aware of things like this – so it really is news to many people. The news article was based on research by Anne Steinemann, a University of Washington professor [...]

Oh, The Irony

on August 7, 2008 in fragrance free

Tuesday’s post was actually written last week. So I found it interesting that the Cathy comic on Sunday addressed the same topic. I’m not sure how long the comic will be up, so I’ll describe it here. Cathy and her girlfriends are at a restaurant. The waitress asks “What will you have?” The first 3 [...]

Do Unto Others…

on June 17, 2008 in fragrance free, health, reader comments, Tip-sy Tuesday

Yes, the Golden Rule applies here: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” If you had an allergy or other condition that was worsened in the presence of some substance, you would want to avoid it. And it should be reasonable to ask friends, family and co-workers to help by not [...]

Tips for a Healthier Environment

on June 10, 2008 in fragrance free, health, non-toxic, Tip-sy Tuesday

I’m not taking credit for these suggestions. You can read EWG’s original article – 10 Everyday Pollution Solutions. I just wanted to list them here with some thoughts of my own. Use cast iron pans instead of nonstick. I have always hated the idea of Teflon. Even before knowing about the toxic, bird-killing gases. The [...]

I just found this article online that should be helpful to many of us. I always see suggestions to use vinegar in cleaning, but this article – Good Housecleaning: Five Non-Toxic, Get-the-Dirt Out Basicsa by Annie Berthold-Bond includes her seven favorite recipes.

Whole Foods Rocks!

on March 11, 2008 in fragrance free, Tip-sy Tuesday

At first I wasn’t so fond of Whole Foods. Mainly because their prices are high. But that’s a fact of buying organic and buying the lesser known brands. When I first learned to really like them was when I learned that they don’t carry anything containing MSG or nitrates. That’s actually a very small subset [...]
