The Dangers of a Wireless World

8/5/2013

I have always wondered what the health effects of living in 'wireless' world are. Only the future will tell but logic indicates that it can't be good! Think about it: mobile phones, Ipads, computers and wifi everywhere you go (from the office to starbucks!)...all these waves in the air are going through our bodies all day and the radiation affecting us in ways we don't even know yet...Read on:

Leading a Sustainable Life

I have been spring cleaning this week and have a pile of books that I just don't know what to do with! 
As all of us living in the UAE know, its very difficult to find places that take used items. I posted the question on Goumbook's page, my favourite go-to people for all Green related issues. 
Here is what they came back with:
"You can go to Book World in Satwa, the best second-hand bookshop in Dubai, and either sell or donate your books / you can call 'Take My Junk' to come and get them from you to give them to the less fortunate / you can donate them to the Pink Ribbon Book Club which is collecting used books for its annual Pink Book Sale, you can deposit your used books at the drop boxes located in Bur Juman Mall in Bur Dubai. Proceeds from the sale will go to a local breast cancer charity, the Safe & Sound Campaign ♥".

How Do You Clean Your Home?

3/5/2013

When my eldest son was very young, he suffered from a chronic allergy (runny nose and cough) that the Dr's couldn't figure out. We tried removing many things from our home, including the cat, and ran allergy tests on him but they all came back inconclusive. After about a year, I decided to completely stop using all chemical cleaning products in our home (floor cleaner, wood polish, glass cleaner etc...) The results were astonishing and his allergy disappeared in 2/3 days! I now have a very simple cleaning regime for the house and the results are just as good. Windows are cleaned with water mixed with vinegar, all surfaces are cleaned with soapy water with a few drops of added tea tree essential oil. I clean my floors with water,vinegar and a few drops of tea tree oil or peppermint essential oil. 
To cleanse the air in your house, you can boil a pot of water and vinegar on the stove with the lid off, let it boil for 30mns and let the steam fill your house. The vinegar will cleanse and deodorise the air.

Natural Home Cleaning!

1/5/2013

I often tell the story of my eldest son (now 14) who suffered from what appeared like regular infections in early childhood. He always seemed to have a cold and a cough and was subsequently put on many antibiotic courses to solve the problem. This didn't help and eventually he was diagnosed with a chronic allergy, and the Dr could not identify the cause through the regular allergy testing. After years of suffering, I decided to take the situation into my hands and figure out what was causing this as I did not want him to live on antihistamines. I removed things from our environment that I thought might be causing it, one at a time, and I would wait 2 weeks in between each item to see the reaction. The day that I removed all cleaning products from our home, his allergy disappeared completely in about 3 days, I was shocked! I have not used any chemical cleaning products since that day, my house is just as clean and I am very happy to be providing my kids with a healthy clean environment. Cleaning products are a lot more harmful then you think, make the shift to natural cleaning and feel the difference...the picture below shows a great tip for cleaning drains, you can also click on the link below to get great tips for cleaning your home naturally:
