Your bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in your house, but it has one of the biggest daily impacts on your health.
Think about how often you interact with what lives there. Toothbrushes go straight into your mouth. Soap touches your skin multiple times a day. Toilet paper is used on the most absorbent tissue in the body. Towels sit damp and warm, creating the perfect environment for residues and microbial buildup. Even the cleaners used on sinks and toilets linger in the air long after the job is done.
Most people assume the bathroom is already “clean” because it smells clean. In reality, many conventional bathroom products rely on synthetic fragrances, chemical preservatives, plastics, and antimicrobial agents that quietly add to your daily toxic load. Over time, those small exposures stack up, especially in a space designed for close, repeated contact.
This week, we’re breaking down how to create a truly non-toxic bathroom, starting with the basics. Toothbrushes, soap, toilet paper, towels, and cleaners, plus what actually matters when choosing safer options. No extremes, no perfection, just practical swaps that make sense for real life.
Let’s clean up the room you use the most, without bringing unnecessary toxins along for the ride.

The Non-Toxic Bathroom: Why It Matters More Than You Think
The bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in the house, yet it often carries one of the most oversized chemical loads, and that matters whether you are raising kids, living alone, or simply trying to keep your home aligned with long-term health. This is the room where skin is exposed daily, lungs encounter steam and fragrance, and surfaces stay warm and damp enough to amplify chemical off-gassing.
A Smarter way to think about beef when buying in bulk
Shopping at Costco makes sense for many people. It is efficient, predictable, and often genuinely cost-effective. Beef is one of the most common bulk purchases because it is versatile, filling, and easy to portion. The issue is not beef itself, but how little attention is paid to sourcing when price and convenience take center stage.
Why These Siete Almond Flour Wraps Aren’t What You Expect
Siete almond flour wraps have earned a reputation as a cleaner alternative to conventional tortillas, especially for people trying to reduce refined grains, keep blood sugar more stable, or avoid highly processed ingredients. On the surface, they look like a simple swap: almond flour instead of wheat, fewer additives, and a brand built around better sourcing.
Stop Putting Your iPhone in Your Pocket
Smartphones have become constant companions. They move with us from morning to night and often end up in places we rarely question, like pants pockets, jacket pockets, or clipped close to the body. This habit feels normal because it is convenient, but convenience is not the same as safety. Even Apple acknowledges in its own documentation that keeping an iPhone too close to the body can exceed recommended exposure levels, advising users to carry the device at least a few millimeters away to remain within tested limits.

Non-Toxic Recipe of the Week
This week, we’re sharing two gentle DIY exfoliation recipes inspired by Tuula, one for the face and one for the body. These are the kind of old-school, kitchen-based formulas that focus on light physical exfoliation without harsh acids, synthetic fragrance, or unnecessary fillers.
The face exfoliator uses rice flour for gentle polishing, aloe for calming hydration, and honey for natural antimicrobial support, making it suitable for even sensitive skin when used sparingly. The body scrub is a more robust blend designed to smooth rough areas, boost circulation, and leave skin soft without stripping the barrier. Simple ingredients, no gimmicks, and easy to make at home.
Mix all ingredients together, apply to your face, leave on for 10 mins. Spray face with water and scrub in circles for1-2 minutes, then wash off with soap.
Mix and use as a body scrub. Can be stored in a clean glass jar for up to a month.

In Closing,
The bathroom is one of those spaces where exposure adds up quietly, simply because of how often we use it. Small upgrades there tend to pay off quickly, especially when they reduce contact with fragrances, plastics, and harsh cleaners that don’t need to be part of daily life. There’s no need to overhaul everything at once. Start with what’s running low or needs replacing and make the next choice a cleaner one.
