What's in your nail polish?

Most women in developed countries around the world will use nail polish on a regular basis. But while it looks pretty at the top, do you know what's going on below the surface?

I came across an very interesting site that talks about the hidden dangers of modern nail polish. Ladies, please take a look and be aware of what you put on your body. Men, if you love the ladies in your life, you'll share this bit of information with them too.

I did some research and came across some water based, eco-friendly nail polishes online. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but have a look!


HoneyBee Gardens has a line of natural nail polishes in a variety of colors. They are water-based and contain no traces of dangerous chemicals or carcinogens!




Acquarella Polishes are also water-based, don't contain any formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, mercury or wheat products.


SpaRitual is completely toxin-free and is totally vegan.



PeaceKeeper  carries a line of polishes with a few bright colors infused with Argan Oil and it is also toxin-free. It looks great and it moisturizes at the same time.

How it all started...

How it all Started...

Hi,

So this is me....Stacy!

I began my fascination with organic stuff when I found out 12 years ago that I was gluten intolerant. 

Now picture this...I live in the tropical island of Trinidad and Tobago where the staple ingredient in every dish from breakfast to dinner includes some aspect of flour or a gluten derivative...so quite naturally I said to myself...this "Naturopathic" doctor must be crazy...who gets allergic to flour???

Well I certainly was becoming quite sensitive to gluten, the protein found in wheat flour. My joints would ache and my energy levels would be totally depleted  30 minutes into eating anything containing Gluten...not to mention the awful side effect of constipation. Reluctantly, I said bye bye to wonderful oven fresh breads or delectable cookies....it was quite traumatic.

So I thought to myself how does one person live without such a basic food ingredient? So I started looking for alternatives and reading up about why someone would be gluten intolerant.

Not surprisingly, I learnt that the modern way we plant our foods and process them is the leading cause of many new food sensitivities people worldwide are developing such as sensitivities to corn, soy and fructose in addition to the traditional ones such as milk and eggs.   

If you experience any adverse or unusual response to eating a new food especially packaged goods, do check the label and research the ingredients to determine what may be causing the adverse effect....you may be slow poisoning yourself.

More on me later..
