And So It Begins...

In my quest to become all natural and vegan, I have found some modern convenience products are more than just that. They have transformed into a societal ‘necessity’ we assume there is no all natural alternative, if we ever even consciously contemplate any alternative to something as staple as the food we eat, modern medicine, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. As I collect more knowledge of the power of plants, it is becoming clear to me (or so I believe) that the earth naturally provides everything we need organically, and can do a better job than large businesses can concoct for us to clean ourselves, groom ourselves, feed ourselves, medicate ourselves, generally take care of ourselves while at the same time keeping basic morals and respect for other forms of life in tact. This blog will serve as a window into my personal experiments in replacing such products with a 100% natural, organic when possible, alternative for 7 days with the intent of changing my habits forever and hopefully proving what I believe is indeed true. I will keep a journal for the 7 day use, ingestion, encounter of the natural alternative, posting any and all entries. I will tell people close to me and share their reactions, I will share my body’s reactions, and the general success and failure of the natural alternative, which will be around the same price point of what it is replacing. Should be fun(ny).
