Okay I just applied for Break Studios for a work from home freelance writer position

I have worked for Demand Media Studios as a freelance contributor. I liked making $15.00 (per 500-800 word) article but I heard Break Studios has easier titles and pay $8.00 (per 250-400 word) article...meaning we can bang them out quicker. I will let you know if I got accepted and give you a review of how their whole process works and how it is to work for them. http://breakstudios.break.com/
I am always looking for work at home jobs so I can be a stay at home mommy who contributes some extra grocery money to our household's funds. I will share them with you...well the good ones when I come across them okay:)!

New Dating Site for SIngles with OCD.

This is a site I came across for people with OCD so they can feel comfortable dating other people who have the same issues...which may be great and maybe take some pressure off of the whole dating scene for those with OCD.  OCDSINGLESCAFE

SAFE BABAS & BATHS FOR EVERYONE!

These are just a few things that you can easily stay away from !

"Safe BaBa's for everyone!"



  Stay away from plastics if you can! If you have a baby get glass bottles or BPA- free plastic! 


                                          


Thankfully my mother-in-law got us these for our daughter when she was a little baby and they are made of strong glass and never broke! I still have all of them in my cupboard and can't bare to pack them away yet because it reminds me of when my little girl was just a little baby:)! Because of coarse our children will always be our babies no matter what age they are:)!

So research what your baby's bottles are made of:


Many baby bottles still have the chemical BPA  Bisphenol A - a chemical linked to heart disease and diabetes in humans and hormonal disruptions! Many hard clear plastics may contain BPA, here are some items that BPA may be found in....
  • Eye Glasses
  • Plastic Liners for tin Cans
  • Microwave ovenware and utensils
  • Teethers
  • Children's toys etc..
  • Plastic containers that contain the #3, #6, & #7 recycling Symbol.
Names for plastics that may contain BPA:
  • Polycarbonate
  • Lexan
  • PolySulfone
These release more BPA especially when heated! Keep those plastic bottles away from the microwave mommy! Also avoid reusing Plastic water bottles, they say that  The enzymes in our saliva can start to break down the chemicals in the plastic~ yucky backwash!

"We Want our babies to bathe in good stuff! Not yucky chemicals!"


       Stay away from baby products with harmful unnecessary chemical additives! The latest news is that all our most popular brand named baby products have been revealed as containing many toxic carcinogenic ingredients! For example a Tear-Free baby shampoo is actually tear-free because they add a chemical that actually numbs the baby's eyes! Isn't that horrible! It doesn't mean that it is safer and "more gentle" it just has all these extra chemicals that are actually "more toxic" than anything!
             So try to find baby and all personal care products with LESS INGREDIENTS!!! Here "Less is definitely more:)!"
I have been using Zosimos Botanicals' Apple Orchard Shampoo on my hair and my whole family, It works great! And it is rated a ZERO on EWG SAFETY DATABASE. It smells so yummy and it really rinses so easily and squeaky clean. You can use the Coupon code NR to receive 7 % off your entire order of any size at Zosimos Botanicals! All of their products are wonderfully 100% natural and toxin-free! I love their makeup and skincare and it makes me feel better knowing it's healthier for my child:)! If she wants to play with mommy's makeup no freaking out is necessary lol!
   Also  try to stay away from harsh Laundry and dish detergents.The clothes you that we wash are lying directly on our baby's skin and they say that our skin is our largest organ that absorbs everything! Dish soap is another one to choose carefully because they clean the plates and silverware that they eat from and the cups we drink out of! Many popular brands also contain many toxins so we want to use something with no toxins and one that will not leave chemical residues!
A great alternative for this could also be a liquid based Castile soap with a few drops of natural essential oils for fragrance or you can go for the more "Green" plant based detergents, that are now available in many stores:)! I love the shop Alice.com
they have so many natural cleaning products and always offer free shipping! I have been using this laundry detergent and I love it...it's called BioKleen

                                            

This is a non- toxic laundry detergent, and it cleans awesome in money saving cold water loads:)! I also add drops of  Organic Eucalyptus Essential Oil. 10 ml. 100% Pure, Undiluted, Therapeutic Grade. which minty smell freshens up the laundry and is known to repel bedbugs. I also love this non- toxic dish soap when washing those not too germy dishes that clean up great with only some hot water and a few drops! Seventh Generation 22734 Natural Dishwashing Liquid, Lavender Floral & Mint, 25 oz. Bottle and Sun & Earth's

                                  
They clean dishes well and I feel so much better knowing that the dishes were washed with a non-toxic soap so no need to worry about toxic chemical residues...in-case my husband didn't rinse them enough..I know I do because I am such a "Good neurotic mommy:)!" lol  " But this just makes me feel so much better and saves me from extra crazy OCD rinsing! lol
If you have any concerns about products that you & your family are using I suggest you check there status and hazard level on this site, it's really great because you can look up almost any product by company or brand...And I wish you the best of luck!!! It is so scary to read what the products we use really contain! But check it out
"Better to be  informed!"
The Environmental Working Group's searchable database of toxic ingredients in cosmetic and personal care products.

 If you have any questions or concerns you can always contact me , just  drop me an e-mail! I am always here if you have any questions or you need to talk to someone:)! I say being a little neurotic about what we bring into our home is a good thing ...it means we really care:)!!!

Ocd keeps me indoors more often then I would like to admit...but I can still shop online ! I found an awesome website that ALWAYS OFFERS FREE SHIPPING YAY!

I became quite the nifty online shopper when my OCD was very bad. I hardly left the house and relied on online retailers to stock up my house with essentials! I found this website called Alice.com http://www.alice.com/referral/38FD559B  this link will give you a $10 off sign up bonus and of course sign up is FREE! Alice.com is  like an online supermarket that sells everything from personal care items to groceries! The best part is that if you buy ANY six items you always get FREE SHIPPING:)! I love that part...I mean there were some weeks when I was so broke and just needed maybe one thing and did not want to pay for shipping so I ordered my one necessity item and then got 5 other items for $1 or less...like a toothbrush or gum. Things that I know I would use down the road anyway and I felt good knowing that I received a great deal for them! Also my order always shipped to me in 2 days! This is fast ...but I live in Pennsylvania so other regions may take longer. It was a blessing for someone like me who was stuck in the house and did not have a car to get around in...also my husband would complain about all of the soap I would buy...to feed my obsessive hand washing obsession. I found this liquid castile hand soap Shadow Lake Pure Castile Soap Fresh Ginger, 16 oz (Pack of 3)  it was a soap that DIDN'T DRY OUT my hands. I love the ginger scent it smells awesome like gingerbread cookies! One bottle of this castile soap lasted me because I would take a foam soap pump like this one RSVP Acrylic Foaming Soap Pump and then fill it a quarter way with castile soap and the rest of it with water. This soap created a nice gentle rich lather for hands:)! I notice that during my hand washing with liquid or bar soap I spend so much time lathering. when you use a foam soap it feels like it covers the entire surface of the hands and I usually don't feel like I have to obsessively lather with it!
So it is really great ordering from Alice and I could now GET MY OWN SOAP and no longer have to rely on my husband and beg him to pick up it up at the store! He used to pick out soaps that were too harsh and seem to eat away at my skin! The best part of not asking him for soap anymore was not having to hear him complain and call me a "Soap Addict!" lol
