What do perfume and Mr. Bubble have in common?
Brilliant commercials
Who else waited for Mr. Bubble to appear?
Mr. Bubble commercials started in 1961
Oh how I loved Mr. Bubble commercials
As kids, my sis and I would excitedly gather bubbles into a face-sized mound
And wait and wait and wait
For Mr. Bubble
We even sang the Mr. Bubble song
Alas, Mr. Bubble never appeared
I was devastated
I just knew he would make an appearance
He never did
I truly believed the commercial
And then there are the perfume commercials
Perfume makes you desirable
IRRESISTIBLE
I'm all in!
Do you know the truth about perfume and other toxic scents?
PERFUME . why does it make me feel sick
(including scented lotions . cologne . car scents . cleaners.... that are not made with natural scents - essential oils for instance)
For years I wore my favorite perfume
I wanted to smell good
As the commercials said
It made me desirable
And everyone was wearing it
It also made me super NAUSEOUS
And yet, I still wore it
Not really connecting the dots that
When I wore it, I felt sick
Or not wanting to know
AND
I assumed that what we eat
What we wear
Is 'okay' and must be healthy
I must just be over-sensitive to scents
I WAS WRONG
I was 46 years old when I learned that
Most perfumes/scents in products - are toxic
The ingredients
Are disgusting if you do your research
Ingredients such as liquids used to make plastics
Ingredients that cause cancer, damage to organs
Make you Sick . Literally
This makes me damn mad
And it should make you damn mad too
Why are toxic chemicals allowed in items that we put on our skin
Our laundry detergent
Our cleaning solutions
Our makeup
Now that I know better
I do better
Not perfect, not always
But better
There ARE some perfumes that are
Made with natural ingredients
I buy and use essential oils
The smell is magical . most are healing
And no harsh chemicals
From what I understand
Doterra and Young Living
are two of the most revered essential oils
Based on how they're extracted
One of the most important things I've learned in almost 60 years...
NATURAL is best
More on NATURAL later in regard to medicine
Did you already know about perfume? If so, how long did it take you to find out?
