Your Brassiere Can Offer More ‘Support’ Than You Might Think

~ Soma Intimates is having their semi annual Giving Is Beautiful Drive ~

Do you know which item of clothing is donated the least but needed the most? Bras. It doesn’t occur to most of us to donate our bras because we think ‘who would want a used bra?’ But the reality is that there are thousands of women in need who could use a few good over the shoulder boulder holders so it’s time to clean out your lingerie drawer ladies (cross dressers, female impersonators…!) because Soma Intimates is once again having their very worthwhile drive.

Shake Your Tail Feather With BassBuds Earphones

Music makes the world go round, it's a necessity in life. It adds a fun vibe to whatever you're doing and just makes life happier. My taste is rather eclectic, you'll find all types of music on my iPod. Getting my groove on makes workout sessions, house cleaning and cooking dinner far more tolerable. My iPod is one of my prized possessions.When it's not blasting music from the dock, having the right ear phones is a must.reviews

I was given the opportunity to try out BassBuds high performance in ear headphones and became an instant fan. They work very well, the advanced chrystaltronics sound technology offers great quality, very clear. They have a hands free mic and MP3 controller. BassBuds are compatible with smartphones, have the ability to activate voice commands and come with 6 different sizes of ear buds so you'll find your perfect fit.

5 Natural Ways To Care For Winter Skin

Guest post by Lee Ann Buttery

As the temperature outside is steadily dropping, we must adjust our skin care regimen
accordingly. Perhaps you haven’t been the kindest to your skin this past summer (i.e.,
marinating yourself under the sun’s cruel rays…yikes). Hopefully, that was not the case,
but whether you were skin and sun savvy or not, the changing climate does affect the skin
and it is imperative to transition your skin into more winter-ready products.

Swap Sunscreen For…
Absolutely nothing! Sunscreen is a must all year round, every day- regardless of how cool or cloudy it gets outside. It is crucial to wear sunscreen with at least SPF 15. Moreover, choose a sunscreen that contains a physical barrier like zinc oxcide, not a chemical barrier and natural ingredients such as green tea or aloe. The ultraviolet radiation is still there, rain or shine, summer or winter. It’s a skin sin when people assume that sunscreen is only needed for beach or summer days.

Exchange Lightweight Moisturizer For…
A slightly heavier formula. The colder months can be drying to the skin and a richer
moisturizer will help keep the skin hydrated and healthy. Try one that contains natural,
good-for-your-skin moisturizing ingredients such as seaweed or avocado oil. If you
experience serious dryness, consider switching your night moisturizer to night cream
products specifically formulated to battle the effects of colder weather and dry heat.

In Memoriam

2012 was a difficult year for many people. It seems nearly everyone I know was touched by some type of loss or illness. We unfortunately suffered a tragic loss in our family. I haven’t yet written about it but the last few months of 2012 were not easy. A devastating accident took the life of my beautiful mother-in-law, Diane Bonanno.

Diane Valerie Bonanno
September 11, 1938 – November 19, 2012

 

While on vacation with my father-in-law in one of her favorite places, Hawaii, a huge wave about 15 feet high slammed her to the ground, shattering her neck. This very active woman, young for her years who hiked and did yoga was, in an instant, a quadriplegic.

The next 3 and a half weeks were difficult and scary. We prayed for miracles. She fought hard, her will to live was strong but after many complications, she passed away just before Thanksgiving. My husband lost his mom. The outpouring of support and prayers from friends during this ordeal was overwhelming. We had a beautiful service for her just before Christmas. My husband, his father, sister and both brothers spoke from their heart, it was exactly what I think she would have wanted.

I am blessed to have known her. She was a beautiful person inside and out… kind, generous, thoughtful, spiritual, loving. Diane was a wonderful mother and an amazing grandmother who had a special relationship with each of her 10 grandchildren. She was full of love and helped people her entire life, always giving of her time and talents.

The medical staff in both hospitals said she was special. They rarely see so much love and support from families and visitors. They appreciated how kind and polite she was. Her behavior was a  pleasant surprise for them as they expressed to the family how rare it is for patients in her condition to even smile. Another testament to her generous and loving spirit.

I loved being her daughter-in-law. We were very close and fortunately had none of the typical issues most women have with their mother-in-law. I could really talk to her and be myself, I always felt like she ‘got me’. I’m lucky we bought our home when we did because some of my last memories of her are how much fun we had shopping for new items for our home and decorating it together. My father-in-law said it best at her service, “all of my 3 sons are mamas boys and their wives still love her!” She loved deeply and everyone felt her love.  A light in our lives dimmed way too soon.

Galations 5:22-28

“The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”

Corporate Eco Wellness Programs & Workshops

Thank you for your interest in my corporate wellness information, I am thrilled that you are considering offering your employees this valuable education. My innovative Eco Wellness Program enables companies to reduce sick days and burnout by improving the overall health and well being of their employees so they are happier, more productive and loyal to the company.

Empowering your employees with wellness education and healthy lifestyle habits is a game changer for your business. It makes your team feel supported and creates a better environment for them. Healthy employees are happier and more productive.   

Each year, the economy loses 2.2 trillion as a result of chronic disease, disengaged employees, stress and work related illness.

What is Eco Wellness? It’s my signature holistic approach to overall well-being based on the 7 Pillars of Health. My specialty is helping people transform health by reducing the body’s toxic burden, implementing healthy habits and releasing unwanted weight.

What does eco friendly living have to do with our health? Everything! It’s an aspect of well-being that should be an integral part of your worksite wellness program. 

You may be thinking that implementing eco friendly habits into our daily routine is simply a way of treating our earth kinder, reducing waste and making the environment more sustainable. All true. However, there is a strong link between a healthy environment and healthy individuals. 

Americans have increasingly become more conscious about their health and they are concerned about the impact toxins have on our wellbeing. 75% say they want to protect the environment.

Reducing the amount of toxic products we use in our homes, in our offices and on our bodies has an extraordinary impact on our health. What you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. I have the expertise to help you and your employees go green in a way that is not overwhelming, complicated or difficult.

Promoting wellness in your workplace and empowering employees to take control of their health is essential for productivity, team happiness, and retention. Organizations that have approached these initiatives have achieved these results.

Schedule a call with Kelly to discover if an Eco Wellness Program or workshop will meet your company’s needs.

There is a health crisis in America. Over 70% of adults suffer from chronic and pre-chronic conditions. Many of which can be alleviated with lifestyle changes.

Nearly 1/5th of  people suffering from fragrance allergies take sick leave from their workplace due to their condition

The World Health Organization has declared burnout from chronic workplace stress a legitimate medical diagnosis. A major contributing factor is energy depletion and exhaustion which can be managed successfully with the right strategies.

As recent as the 1970s workplace stress was a fringe topic that was not thought of as an issue that needed to be addressed. We sure know differently now. Workplace stress costs U.S. businesses nearly $300 billion each year. 

I want to empower your employees to take control of their health. Healthier employees are more productive

Green education and wellness is what many ‘best places to work for’ companies are implementing. The green movement is growing and businesses need to be sustainable. By implementing my program, it’s an issue that your company will be in front of and have solid, workable solutions in place. I worked in the corporate world for many years, I am aware of the needs and priorities that businesses have. 

Treatment of contact dermatitis and eczema in the US contribute between $1 billion and $3.8 billion to insurance companies and Medicaid annually

I am passionate about helping people live their healthiest life and feel good. I have the expertise to help you and your employees improve well being, reach a healthy weight and go green in a way that is not overwhelming, complicated or difficult.

Wellness is a multifaceted journey creating consciousness and guiding people to make choices that improve the human condition and increase longevity. Living a non toxic, eco friendly lifestyle is not an option for those who desire optimal health and you can help your employees do it.

I take a very holistic approach incorporating the mind body connection. A happy, healthy, thriving workforce is the core of a solid, successful organization.

I collaborate with fellow wellness experts providing superior solutions and results offering customized Corporate Eco Wellness Programs and workshops based on your company’s needs. Being a small business, our overhead is low. We are ultra responsive and can move quickly. We bring niche expertise that we can easily customize to the needs of your organization.

My programs offer a variety of beneficial outcomes for business owners that can include:

  • Reduced healthcare costs by providing employees with education and methods that will minimize their body’s toxic burden
  • Improved morale and employee engagement, leading to a more productive, high-performing workforce

Live In-Person Eco Wellness Workshops & Talks

I offer live wellness workshops held in your workplace or home and virtual workshops via Zoom. They’re a fun way to learn how to live a more eco friendly lifestyle, improve nutrition, manage weight, reduce toxic load and transition to clean products!

Very few health coaches are educating people on the toxic issue, how it impedes our health and how to mitigate the health threat. If your company already offers a wellness program or has an Employee Assistance Program in place, my workshops would be a valuable supplement.

You were amazing and gave us all so much great information. My Aunt Diane just texted me that she ordered some 100% Pure products and that she is noticing a lot of her products have “fragrance” and other toxins. Today couldn’t have been more perfect. I’ve received so much positive response from the event. I truly can’t thank you enough” ~Cassy N.

  Are you concerned about the toxins in your home? 

You’re savvy, you take good care of yourself & your family but maybe you’re struggling a bit (or a lot) with how to clean up your beauty & personal care routine or with going green in your home and living a more eco friendly lifestyle.

Is your energy is low? Do you or one of you kids suffer from skin problems? Do you have mood swings or anxiety? Do you struggle with extra weight that is difficult to lose or keep off? Maybe you’re just not feeling your best in general. I can help.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the choices and the contradictory information out there about clean products and methods? Or, you’re afraid you’ll have to give up too much? I want to show you that going green does NOT have to be overwhelming, time consuming or costly. And you don’t have to give up glamour! 

What is Eco Wellness? It’s my signature holistic approach to overall well-being based on the 7 Pillars of Health. My specialty is helping people transform health by reducing the body’s toxic burden, implementing healthy habits and releasing unwanted weight.

“The greatest wealth is health” ~Virgil

I’m a busy mom of 2 active boys running a lively household and my own business so I know how difficult it can be to fit in self-care and eco friendly habits. I’ve figured out and developed methodologies to do it that are quick and easy. I’ve combined my expertise, passion for a clean environment and zeal for glamour to create programs that help people like you. 

A healthy family, lifestyle and planet begins with you.

Let’s make your well being a priority again. Transform your health with the power and peace of mind of an eco friendly lifestyle.

Working with me will save you time and ensure that you are receiving the right information. Could you Google and find answers? Yes and no. It will take you hundreds of hours and you’ll likely get greenwashed. It’s prevalent in the industry.

What is Greenwashing? It’s when companies display insincere concern for our health and the environment misleading consumers into thinking their products are clean and safe when they are not.

Why are they allowed to deceive us like that? Because there are no laws against manufacturers using words like ‘natural’, ‘sustainable’, ‘green’, ‘earth friendly’, when in reality they contain harmful chemicals. There is no regulation when it comes to personal care and beauty products. 

Working with me will save you a lot of your valuable TIME!

I have done yeeeears of research and vetted hundreds of lines so I will save you the time, the hassle and you’ll avoid being greenwashed.

Let’s make your well being a priority again. Transform your health with the power and peace of mind of an eco friendly lifestyle.

I’m looking forward to working with you.

Testimonials

I signed up for the course to educate myself on how to make smarter choices about the products I use on myself and my family. Prior to taking the class, I was frustrated with all of the misleading information out there. There are many products I was using that claimed they were ‘clean’ when in fact they were green washed. The class taught me how to outsmart this type of marketing and purchase safer products by providing me with an understanding of the specific chemicals to avoid. I can now look at the back of a label and recognize these harmful chemicals. As a registered nurse, I found value in her application of the endocrine system because it emphasized just how these chemicals can be dangerous to our bodies. Kelly helped me gain a much better understanding of clean products, how to protect myself and my family, and inspired me to spread the word. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to create a healthier lifestyle. Since taking it, I have switched over many products I was using and now feel so much better about putting them on my kids knowing they are clean.

~Shannon E., Pediatric ICU Nurse & mom of 2

Even if you think you are a well-informed, up to date or a life long health and wellness zealot you will learn something new and informative from Kelly Bonanno’s ‘The Savvy Girl’s Guide To Organic Beauty.’ This is an eye-opening course exploring and breaking down the safest and most toxic products, ingredients, formulas and chemicals found in the everyday products. Kelly cuts to the chase and takes the confusion out of our beauty, household and health related consumer products in a clear, concise manner. I guarantee you will learn something you didn’t know before. Your body, mind and spirit will thank you for it.

~Eva S., Creative Director/Writer/Producer

I was struggling with allergic reactions on my skin caused by something in the products I was using. During the course, I learned how toxic everyday cosmetics and cleaning products can be. One thing that I liked was learning specifically which products I was using that could be causing my skin rashes. Overall, I found the experience very educational and helpful. It raised my awareness of products that I should avoid. I am better because I was able to use alternative products that Kelly recommended, thus avoiding the products that were causing the skin rash. Now I feel great and my skin has cleared up. I no longer have to rely on harmful steroid prescription ointments to relieve the skin rashes. Kelly, thank you so much for solving this aggravating problem with your knowledge of the harmful ingredients in everyday cosmetics and household cleaning products!

~Tracy D., Founder, Tracy Naturals

Kelly’s course should be on the ‘must do’ list for anyone looking for a place to begin their journey to wellness by adopting a non-toxic lifestyle. I came into the course with a fair amount of knowledge about a toxin free lifestyle, but this course took me to a new level of understanding and awareness about the issue in all areas of my life. Kelly’s passion is real, her delivery is upbeat, and the information she imparts can be life changing. Not only does ‘The Savvy Girl’s Guide To Organic Beauty’ provide valuable information on the bad stuff, it provides an impressive list of alternative product choices to help you get a quick start on going non-toxic! Kelly has done the work for you and will even offer you concierge service to help you create a plan to eliminate the unsafe chemicals from your home. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and sign up for this course!

~Tamra G., Owner, The Studio of Tamra Glaser & mom of 2

I signed up for this course because I was struggling with knowing which products were truly pure and organic. Kelly taught me which ingredients to avoid and why. I feel so empowered now!

~Marianna S., Mom of 4

“There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves – that heartfelt knowledge that we are (all) caretakers of this planet” ~ Brooke Medicine Eagle

I help busy women who want to go green, clean their beauty routine, get toxins away from their kids, reduce their body’s toxic burden, have glowing skin & more energy but are pressed for time & feel overwhelmed by the thought of one more thing to do! 

Are you wondering whether or not I can help you? If you are in one of the following situations, then the answer is a resounding yes! Contact me if any of these scenarios sound familiar: 

Melissa is pregnant for the first time and beginning realizing that the products she uses in her home to clean her house are highly toxic, She is afraid of exposing her unborn child and does not want him living in a toxic environment after he arrives. 

Pam is a stay-at-home-mom who has been so focused on raising her children and keeping up with the demands of an extremely busy lifestyle that she has put less attention on herself and now she doesn’t feel very good about herself. She’s finally at a place where she’s ready to make a change. She wants to get the toxins away from her kids. She wants to feel better, look better and have more energy but does not want to use products with toxins because she has read about the adverse health affects.

Michelle is overwhelmed. She knows there are toxins in most everyday products and realizes that she should make some changes but she just doesn’t know where to start. She’s not sure about what products to use. She needs guidance from me to alleviate the overwhelm of going green and living eco friendly.

Alexis is a 30 something career woman who is beautiful, loves make up, gets her hair done and colored but she’s also pretty health minded and has concerns about the products she’s using on her body and her hair. She wants to clean them up at least a little bit but she doesn’t want to give up glamour. She’s a make up junkie, a product junkie who likes to look hot, sexy and beautiful. 

Sandra is resistant to change. She is not onboard but is curious. She likes the products she is using but wants a healthy routine so she’d like to explore some options about potentially making a few switches. She doesn’t want to go all out changing every single one of her personal care, beauty products or household products, she just wants to dip her toe in, learn more and take baby steps by making a few small changes.

Danielle is a savvy woman. She knows conventional products have a harmful ingredients but she wonders just how clean her products really are. She’s heard of greenwashing and she’s concerned that perhaps her products are not as clean as the companies claim.

Your Guide To Eco Household Lines, Clothing, Water Filters & More

You don’t have to resort to using toxic chemicals to keep your home sparkling clean! Transitioning to eco friendly household products will greatly improve the environment inside of your home which will help reduce your body’s toxic burden as well as your carbon footprint.

Purge your cleaning cabinet & laundry room of toxic products and try some on this list, you won’t be disappointed and Mother Earth will love you extra. Using cleaning products & laundry detergent that contain environmentally responsible ingredients will limit your family’s exposure to hundreds of very toxic chemicals & volatile organic compounds [VOCs].

What’s healthy for you is good for the environment. Transition to using clean household products and you will be one less person contributing to harmful chemicals swirling down your drain and out into the waterways.

This is a comprehensive list of brands that I have vetted and researched. I’m an affiliate for some* of the lines which means I’ll receive a small commission (this does not affect your price.) Thank you for supporting me and my mission to help make your eco, non toxic shopping simple. I’m not affiliated with all of them but I do give my seal of eco approval to each one so happy shopping for your happy, healthy home.

Curious to know how you can get your hands on my list of “bad” ingredients to avoid? Send your email address to me at kelly (at) kellybonanno (dot) com and I’ll send it right over for free or click here and have it delivered to your inbox.

You can find a comprehensive list of clean beauty and personal care lines here.
