For starters, what is crunchy? Well, people referred to as hippies, tree huggers, granola, free-spirited, vegan, environmentalists, etc. So, why I define myself as pretty crunchy?
~ I recycle, a lot! Like literally, my recycle vs trash averages 3:1
~ I baby wear (and love it)
~ I drink and make kombucha (so yummy)
~ I have cloth diapered and cloth potty trained (yes I still use dispoables--I'm not perfect!)
~ I buy almost all organic and non-gmo food
~ I have used breastmilk for more than feeding my child
~ I keep coconut oil and acv (apple cider vinegar) in my bathroom
~ I make my own balms and deoderant
~ I have gone no-poo (shampoo-free) and made my own shampoo
~ I can make my own toothpaste (it's pretty good)
~ Detox baths? Heck yea!
~ I love goodwill and thrift shops
~ I have a ton of glass and stainless steel in my house
~ I am growing my own food and flower/medicinals
~ I make and use my own elderberry syrup
~ My favorite sheets are organic
~ Yoga is awesome!
~ Bras? 1 or 2 wire-free....Do built-in bras count?
~ The majority of my diet is vegan (I still love eggs, honey, occasionally butter and bacon)
~ Homeopathy is seriously one of the best things ever!
~ Essential oils rock!
~ Fluoride-free yup yup!
~ Aluminum? No thank you!
~ Reusable snack bags and wet bags are brilliant
~ Parental Choice!!
I could go on and on and on about what I do that is considered strange by mainstream consumers, but I think this list suffices! Now, there are things I do that don't make me 100% crunchy because I'm human and different than other humans. I choose to be pretty crunchy, because it's healthier for me , my family, and the environment. From a purely logical standpoint, it's not going to cause any damage. So, to each their own and crunch on you Earth lovers!!
