The Beginning

One night many years ago I was at the taco bell by my old house. I ordered and the T.B. employee said, "Did you not want a fruitista freeze tonight?"

I still remember my ex-boyfriend's response as he was shocked that the guy noticed I didn't order one thing. (wonder why he's my ex?)

There is no way to explain how the worker at taco bell knows your food order by heart.

I can't even tell you how many doritos tacos I've consumed. It's disgusting. Some would think I was paid to promote them too. I think I realized it was a problem when people started telling me they thought of me when they went to Taco Bell/saw a doritos locos taco.

I've always loved junked food and pretty much anything bad for me. I am all about instant gratification as most Americans/humans are.

I already know I feel better on those random health kicks I go on. But, why? This blog is all about me trying out new natural products, why (and if) it is a better fit for us, and how it compares. Because the truth is more important than a quick fix.

Besides, today has to be the last time I eat panda express. I say that every time, but this time I'm serious. 

This is mostly for my own amusement and I think everyone deserves to know the truth. The more I research and learn the more I want everyone to have a chance to know and make their own decisions. What are we doing to harm ourselves without knowing? Let's at least know what we are putting into our bodies.

If you have any ideas on things to try then post it or let me know. I tried natural hair dye tonight which I will post about later... And I bought all-natural deodorant (Tom's) which will be an uncomfortable post for all of us.
