Living Clean: The Journey Continues

Product Information

Presented in slim 300ml aluminium bottles, Clean Living has a wide range of cleaning products in its portfolio. The bottles are refillable and you can use the 30ml refill sachets that need to be diluted with tap water each time you want to top up. Designed to help you make a ‘conscious choice' about the chemicals you use in your home, the range was launched by two friends Helen and Gill, on a mission to ‘clean with conscience’. The range includes natural plant-based formulas that are free from harsh and toxic chemicals. Clean living lifestyle change: Remove any refined sugars from your house and replace them with natural sugar. Don’t worry about things you get when you go out to eat, you can work on that later. For now, just control what’s in your own house.

There is a middle ground where ‘eco-cleaning’ solutions that claim to be kinder to the environment and our wellbeing sit, however. And these products are fulfilling a public demand that is gaining popularity. Simply take a look in your local supermarket - or perhaps you have a local refillable shop just launched nearby - and you’ll notice a number of ‘eco cleaning’ solutions lining the shelves including multi-purpose sprays, bath cleaners, washing up liquids, biodegradable surface wipes and more. These products are taking on the mainstream cleaning brands that we’ve been using for years. Last little disclaimer – if you were 100% on every single one of these changes all the time, you’d probably burn yourself out. Give yourself grace and “rotate which balls you drop.” For example, some weeks I’m so diligent about stretching and foam rolling but drop the ball on my sweat sessions – that’s ok! That’s what my body needed that week. Clean living lifestyle change 1 drink more water

The evening’s festivities kick off at 7pm:

Today, we have a chance to feel clean by living clean. For us addicts, living clean starts with not using - after all, that's our primary use for the word "clean" in Narcotics Anonymous. But as we stay "clean" and work the Twelve Steps, we discover another kind of clean. It's the clean that comes from admitting the truth about our addiction rather than hiding or denying our disease. It's the freshness that comes from owning up to our wrongs and making amends for them. It's the vitality that comes from the new set of values we develop as we seek a Higher Power's will for us. When we practice the principles of our program in all our affairs, we have no reason to feel dirty about our lives or our lifestyles - we're living clean, and grateful to be doing so at last.

Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy. 2011;6:17. doi:10.1186/1747-597X-6-17 In today's world, we are all becoming more aware of the importance of environmental sustainability. We are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. One area (that is sometimes overlooked) where we can make a big difference is in the way we clean our homes and businesses. The using life is not a clean one-no one knows this better than we do. Some of us lived in physical squalor, caring neither for our surroundings nor ourselves. Worse, though, than any external filth was the way most of us felt inside. The things we did to get our drugs, the way we treated other people, and the way we treated ourselves had us feeling dirty. Many of us recall waking too many mornings just wishing that, for once, we could feel clean about ourselves and our lives.

Maybe it’s your yogurt, or bone broth, or something else – just choose one thing. Once you have that down and it feels like second nature, choose another thing to cook from scratch. This is kept very general for a reason. Not everybody likes a traditional “workout regime” and I’m a big believer in finding what works for you and doing that. If you love hiking until you work up a sweat, but can’t stand the gym – go for a few hikes a week. If you love doing Crossfit but hate Pilates, go to Crossfit! In any case, you want to make sure you’re sweating (meaning, getting your heart rate high enough to enjoy the cardiovascular benefits) several times per week.Do you know how toxic your water is even if you’re using a filter? EWG has this awesome resource where you can type in your zip code and get a list of the toxic ingredients in your water. For example, for my zip code, this is what we have in our water: What you can do about your toxic water Part of a clean living lifestyle is making clean cooking a part of that lifestyle. The more surefire way to cook clean is to cook from scratch. When you can control what goes into the meals you’re making from start to finish, you’re truly eating clean.

We found it effective at removing a fresh orange juice stain off a rug. Using the Biological Drain Maintainer was rather satisfying too and it comes in a neat little recyclable sachet. We poured it down the sink at night and ran the tap in the morning to give it a little spruce. The Restart Project is a social enterprise that aims to fix our relationship with electricals and electronics. Cofounder Janet Gunter says the first step in keeping household appliances for longer is regular cleaning. “By simply cleaning and maintaining your white goods, laptop or mobile, you will prolong its life.” Restart runs a nationwide network of skill-sharing workshops as well as promoting a directory of commercial repair options in London. (See also repaircafe.org for events in your area.) “If we don’t have access to spare parts,” says Gunter, “these appliances will be thrown away, which has a huge carbon impact.”

It’s no secret that refined sugar is bad for you, but I don’t think most people know just HOW bad it can wreak havoc on your body. The below is not to scare, or fearmonger, it’s just to help wrap your head around the adverse effects sugar can have on your body. Your skin will be more vibrant and your body will benefit too (maybe you won’t lose weight, but to a certain point, the scale really holds no bearing on ‘health’). 3. You will have more energy It’s so important to buy food that is quality. As the saying goes, “you are what what you eat eats.” I have a pretty incredible testimony about this, actually.
