Warning: I feel a rant coming on. I really hate when people say "ignorance is bliss." I'm like wtf is wrong with you? That's how people get really sick. To achieve health and avoid toxins, knowledge is power.
In what situations is ignorance blissful? The definition of bliss is "extreme happiness; ecstasy." I get that bliss is a temporary state, and maybe it would be nice to not know the saturated fat content in a piece of cake, but is that bliss? Ignorance allows for bliss? Which then makes you feel like anchor about an hour later?
Anyway... I'm frustrated with myself for only now going to the Environmental Working Group's site, Skin Deep, which rates personal care products' toxicity levels. Turns out my "nail growth treatment" is more like a cancer growth treatment. It's going to be a trashcan-growth treatment now! I can't believe I didn't think to check on what those chemicals did. Oh well. Now I know better.
Right now I'm thinking, to hell with beauty products but I know I will find some good organic products eventually... Good thing I haven't been wearing much makeup lately--it was 100 degrees for the last week, so I drank about two gallons of water a day, and my skin cleared right up. Today it is cooler, and in the evening, I think Ryan and I will take a long walk.
I walked to Rubio's for lunch and am eating a veggie burrito, which I like, but I forgot to specify no sour cream, and no cheese. It's hard avoiding toxins.
I just want to be healthy.
