What's Your Magic Number?

I have been reading many articles, especially in the last few days, on the amount of chemicals we expose ourselves to daily. #1 culprit.. the everyday beauty routine.  I have tried really hard to stream line my magic number, but to no avail its still a bit higher that I would want. I will say that I have made a conscious effort to swap some of my previous offenders for cleaner versions. Hence you may still see some non green choices in my list. It does take time, I have to find something that really works before I officially swap so whats listed below has been through a rigorous process and made the cut. I have had a lot of fun testing out new products on my quest which is always a benefit. Hopefully I will share some of my favorites that you may want to try if you are on the hunt. I tallied my regulars and here are the results.

Day:
Natural Soap- Whole Foods
Face Wash-Neutrogen Naturals
Shave Cream-eos
Shampoo- Simply

Who knew it would take all this stuff to make me feel put together in the am. Getting ready for bed not too bad. I will honestly say that while I strive to always look for multi-taskers I do have fun getting ready regardless because I know I am taking care of myself which translates into sweet dreams!

Whats your magic number?
