It's important what you put into and on your body.

My Top 10 Natural Alternatives For Daily Products
Alexis Coderre

When I was about fifteen I started to become intrigued by natural living. Products and foods that were free of chemicals, parabens, grown locally, not tested on animals and that was ethically sourced. I would spend and still spend my free time doing a lot of research on the products I use, as well as always finding new things to try. I find that it is incredibly important to know what you are consuming and using. This is the only body we get, so protecting it the best I can is something I am passionate about.

Here are a few all-natural products that are not only better for you, but better for the planet.

Household Products:

Laundry Detergent: Method 4x Concentrated- Fresh Air All Purpose Cleaner: Method Antibac- Wildflower

This laundry detergent is something I just made the switch to from traditional laundry detergents. It smells great and gets all the stains out of my clothes. This company stands for great ethical values which is something I love.

All Purpose Cleaner: Method Antibac- Wildflower

This all-purpose cleaner is something I have been using for a little while now. It is a wonderful alternative to Lysol or Clorox wipes which are filled with harmful fragrance and chemicals. Definitely a bargain buy!

Personal Care Product:

Lena Cup

This is probably something that most people don't feel comfortable researching or talking about, but after hearing so many horror stories of tampons and TSI (which is not just from leaving a tampon in for too long). I will never go back. This is a silicon cup that molds to the inside of you. You don't have to worry about leaving it in for too long or the environmental concerns that come with disposing of tampons and pads.

Shampoo/ Conditioner and Body Wash:

Shampoo and Conditioner: Desert Essence- Lemon Tea Tree

The ingredients in this shampoo and conditioner are sourced naturally from powerful ingredients the earth provides. It is free of sulfates and parabens. This specific shampoo has helped me with my oily hair.

Body Wash: Kirks Castile Soap- Original Coco

As someone with very sensitive skin, this bar of soap has saved me from rashes, and breakouts. My favorite part: you can get a pack of three at Walmart for $2.87 and each bar lasts forever. These soaps have many multi-uses as well.

Dental Product:

Toothpaste: Toms- Antiplaque and Whitening

This toothpaste is free of fluoride, has a great fresh minty taste. Because it is a natural toothpaste it does not foam up like a traditional paste would.

Face Products:

Toner: Thayers Witch Hazel- Cucumber

This product is wonderful to calm the redness in my skin and restore the natural moisture as well.

Toner: Dr. Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar

This product is another toner that has helped to kill the bacteria within my skin that occurs from my cystic acne. This Apple Cider Vinegar has many other uses as well.

https://www.bragg.com/

Face Wash: Limelife by Alcone Dream Clean- Aloe and Soapberry.

This face wash has many natural properties that clean the skin while not drying it out. It is free of parabens and soap. It is also not tested on animals.

Moisturizer: Limelife by Alcone Cool Balm- Aloe and Kendi Oil

This moisturizer is wonderful at calming my skin by not overproducing the oil on my skin. The smell is very natural. This has been helpful and not irritated my skin. I typically use this every morning and night.

https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/ReadySetJessup


All of these products I fully believe are safe and healthy for you. Most can be found at Target and Walmart. I do try and catch many of them on sale seeing as though they do tend to be pricier due to the value they hold. So far my use with all of these products has been successful.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
