EP 221 Self Care Sunday: Self Care for Parents, Nurture Yourself from the Inside and Out

Welcome to 'Self Care Sundays,' on the No Problem Parenting podcast. 

 

Sundays often signify a day to rest and recharge before the start of a new week. We will focus on self-care for parents and give you ideas on being more intentional about caring for yourself to better care for your kids. We’ll sprinkle in some episodes of self-care for kids too.

Today’s resources are about what we put in and on our bodies that help us feel good from the inside out and outside in.

How do you do self care? What does self care mean for you?

Self Care can be whatever makes you smile and fills your cup.  I encourage you to Intentionally Do something kind for yourself,  rest and rejuvenate. 

My favorite resource for knowing which foods and products are better than others is the

Healthy Living EWG environmental working group FREE App : EWG Healthy Living on apple or on google play here: EWG Healthy Living app on google play 

 

From snacks to shampoos: We’re exposed to chemicals every second, yet we know very little about them. To help you learn about the foods and products you’re bringing into your home and make safer choices, EWG created the Healthy Living App which has trusted ratings for more than 160,000 food, cleaning and cosmetics products are at your fingertips.

Just scan a barcode, search the product by name or browse by category, and EWG will give you an easy-to-understand 1 to 10 score (1 being the best!), backed by science you can trust.

 

The free app helps you feel confident in what you are bringing into your home. And its fun to teach your kids and teens about the Healthy Living app, download it to their phone or tablet and let them scan products when you’re shopping too! 

 

It's not just about food and skincare; it’s about the things we are breathing in everyday that we might not even know are toxic. Think laundry detergent, fabric softeners and perfume for instance.

 

The average American adult uses about 12 personal care products a day, resulting in exposure to an average of 168 unique chemicals. Children are also exposed to products containing risky chemicals during critical stages of childhood development. As these products range from toothpaste to makeup, it is easy for companies to conceal harmful chemicals that risk American livelihoods.

 

Chemicals in beauty and personal care products have been linked to a variety of health concerns.

And to learn more about ingredient safety, legislation and how we can turn negative perception into positive actions listen in as my favorite safer beauty advocate Andee has teamed up with fellow mom Aimee in a new podcast called Coast to the Heart Podcast. Episodes drop on Mondays.

 

The greatest gift you can give to your children is to nurture yourself so that you won’t need your kiddos to do that for you.

 

We're merging our resource playground to the new Podcast Tab and updating it weekly.
