How to Whiten Teeth With Activated Charcoal by theorganicbunny on May 20, 2015May 21, 2015 I love a nice, bright white smile, what I don’t love, however, are the crazy chemicals that most conventional teeth whiteners come with. While many dentists will tell you that the teeth whitening process is safe, I personally avoid it for various reasons, here’s why: I have super sensitive teeth so bleaching really hurts me. Bleach can enter unknown cracks or cavities, further damaging nerves, which may result in a you needing a root canal. The bleaches are so strong, they can easily chemically burn your gums, skin, or tongue. Teeth whiteners contain potential carcinogens, which enter gums and mouth. Some whiteners contain chlorine dioxide which can destroy the enamel on your teeth. Chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect swimming pools and whitens teeth by eating away at the surface of the enamel. Even OTC whitening toothpaste comes with risks. Many contain Polyethylene Glycol, a carcinogen known for disrupting hormones with links to breast cancer. Many whiteners also contain Sodium Flouride, which despite what we’ve been told, has various negative effects and is considered a neurotoxin. Read More

What’s Really in NARS Lip Gloss? by theorganicbunny on May 2, 2015 NARS lipgloss used to be some of my favorite glosses, that was until I learned about what was really inside of them. Several NARS lip glosses contain various chemicals that should never be used! Check out what’s really in these! What’s Really in NARS Lip Glosses? Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate- A known and studied endocrine disruptor that affects estrogen and thyroid activity, with various links to breast cancer. This ingredient should never ever be applied to skin, especially on lips that lead to accidental consumption. Red 30 Lake- A synthetic dye considered to be a Class 3 carcinogen. Polyethylene- A non-biodegradable microplastic. While these glosses are beautiful, you couldn’t pay me to use them anymore, especially knowing there are just as pretty lip glosses on the market without this junk in them. Some clean lipgloss lines to check out instead: FITGLOW BEAUTY, ILIA Beauty, Vapour Organic Beauty, or Gabriel Cosmetics. Help me spread this info, share this with a friend who could use this info! xo Read More
Cinnamon Honey Paleo Bars by theorganicbunny on April 30, 2015 I had a girl tell me she loved my blog today, up until I posted a paleo recipe. This left me perplexed because Paleo is really just another word for healthy? While I do not eat entirely Paleo, I wish I had that will power, I do think it’s an awesome concept to eat primarily fruits, veggies, nuts, lean meats etc… so, there you have it, my Paleo stance. Anyway, this recipe was given to me by a friend, and after loving the bars she gave me I had to make them again for myself. These bars are super easy to make and, of course, very healthy for you. Because there are so many nuts in this mix, feel free to use the nuts you prefer instead of the ones I used, simply swap in or out whatever nuts you’d like. -Cinnamon Honey Paleo Bars- Ingredients Used, all Organic: 1 cup Cashews 1 cup Almonds 1 cup Pecans 1/2 cup Sunflower Seeds 10 Tbsp Raw Honey 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon 1 Tsp Vanilla 1/2 Unsweetened Coconut (I did not have) Other optional add-ins: Goji Berries, Cacao Nibs, Dried Fruit… Read More

IMBIBE Epoch Organic Perfume by theorganicbunny on April 21, 2015April 21, 2015 For the past few months, I have been trying to find an organic perfume that my boyfriend and I both enjoy, however, I kept coming up empty handed. While there are tons I loved, and still love, he was not a fan of them all until smelling this one by IMBIBE Skincare last night. I must say that this perfume goes against all of my previous perfume preferences, as it is very masculine mixed with a feminine splash of rose. It really does smell like you were hugged by a man, all while still smelling like a fresh bunch of roses…. if that makes any sense? The sandalwood in this perfume is what gives it a masculine touch, so be sure you enjoy this type of scent before making the purchase! Read More

The best part, besides them being hot pink, is they actually got really great reviews on Amazon! Some of these items do contain plastic, so perhaps I would avoid those, and go with the glass items like the blender instead! Read More
Paleo Raspberry Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches by theorganicbunny on April 20, 2015April 20, 2015 I love dessert, but what I love even more is that finding delicious but healthy dessert recipes is easier than ever these days.

My Favorite Organic Drinks by theorganicbunny on April 16, 2015April 16, 2015 When I am not sipping on water I love to have my fridge full of healthy, organic juices and teas, so I figured, why not share some of my favorite go-to beverages? I find that Jimbo’s or Whole Food has the best drink selections, but I can find a few of these at Sprout’s or smaller markets if I’m lucky. Guayaki Yerba Mate Teas- Yerba Mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea and the euphoria of chocolate, all in one delicious beverage. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world: coffee, tea, kola nut, cocoa and guarana, yerba mate triumphs as the most balanced, delivering both energy and nutrition. Yerba mate comes from the naturally caffeinated and nourishing leaves of the celebrated South American rainforest Holly Tree, Ilex paraguariensis. For centuries, South America’s Aché Guayakí tribe has sipped yerba mate from a traditional mate gourd for its rejuvenating effects. I am pretty much addicted to their iced teas, I love drinking these when I need a boost of energy before the gym or a big pile of work that needs extra focus. Read More
