Granola. Hippie. Crunchy.
People that have chosen a natural lifestyle, free from chemicals, pesticides, dyes and all things artificial have been given many labels. But I'm not interested in labels, I'm interested in living.
Living free of reading labels and being confused and concerned by a list of ingredients that I can't pronounce and have no clue as to what they are.
Taking inspiration from a few women who have already taken the plunge into the granola world:
"I love bringing back what our mamas and grandmas used to do. They had it right in so many ways. Our modern-day culture is far from where we need to be. When it comes to living sustainably, I am all for it." (The Paleo Mama)
"Simple, small changes in your life can lead to a non-toxic, healthier lifestyle and a greener planet." (Groovy Green Living)
"Now i'm not talking about saving the world, boycotting major stores, and stop shaving or anything that drastic. Just simple things to try to cut out some chemicals and eat fresh homegrown foods. " (Livin the Life of a Lineman's Wife)
"I'm not a die hard never-touch-anything-non-organic, never-use-a-department-store-make-up, never-shop-at-a-"regular"-grocery-store girl, but I do believe in knowing what is in our products and highly reducing toxins wherever and whenever possible. " (The Gray Poppy Blog)
"Because I want them (my family) to be healthy and as toxin-free as possible. Because I want to teach them that what goes INTO their bodies matter. And to empower them to know how to use our earth’s gifts for healing and health. Because even with our amazing progress in modern medicine, we actually have MORE sick people in hospitals and people getting ill than we have ever before. Hm. Interesting. So call me crazy, call me a granola hippie... but me and my happy kids and family are keeping it real. As in real foods, real ingredients and real living…naturally." (Granola Living)
This is my journey of trying to live as natural a life as possible. I'm looking forward to real food, real beauty and real living.
