There’s a saying that you are what you eat, but what about what you absorb into your skin. I’m blogging about this because my sister asked me to do so. She’s currently in the hospital fighting blood poisoning. Blood poisoning…..how do you get that? Well after doing some research the two most prominent ways is through the lungs and the skin. In my sister’s case, it was the skin.  Seeking to achieve a certain hairstyle, she used a product that immediately started to create discomfort throughout her whole body. After self-medicating for several weeks she checked herself into the hospital and was diagnosed with blood poisoning. She’s currently receiving antibiotics intravenously.

Several weeks prior to this incident I threw out two trash bags full of skin and hair products that contained harmful ingredients. It didn’t matter what it cost me or how much was left in the container, it all went into the garbage.

My lesson is that I AM:

• What I Eat
• What I Absorbed Into My Body
• What I Absorbed Into My Mind
