SQ All-Natural Product Line

Standard

Thank you for your interest in my SQ All-Natural product Line. I have put many products and recipes to the test, and have decided on the below items to sell! I have a Facebook page SQ all natural beauty and cleaning products as well as an Instagram account @sq_allnaturalproducts.

My goal with this product line is to create products for use in our homes for cleaning and for use on our bodies that are good for us, all natural, and good for the environment. I also collect jars and containers that were on their way to the recycle bin and re-use these. I thoroughly clean out and reuse jars, plastic containers, fabric, and anything else I can find to sell my products in. For our family I have started making most items that I use to buy in plastic containers: dish soap, cleaning solution, dishwasher detergent,and this is in addition to what I make and sell in my product line!

I have learned that what we put ON our body is absorbed INTO our bodies and therefore since I take the time to make sure I am eating whole, good foods I realized I should also be treating my skin the same.

This goes for cleaning products as well. I believe in helping keep our homes clean using products that are safe, environmentally friendly, and can be used safely around children and pets. My products are non-toxic and eco-friendly.

I just felt the need to write a new blog post today as my life has changed so very much in the past year and a half, and I wanted to share my journey. Basically, the big change in my life started very simply, but it is something that has had a HUGE impact on my life in EVERY aspect!

In January of last 2020 I started Intermittent Fasting, also know as time restricted eating. A very simple explanation of this is that I only changed WHEN I eat, not WHAT I eat; I am already someone who eats 90% of my diet as whole foods, with little fast food or processed meals. I start my eating each day after 12pm and eat what I like between 12 and 7 p.m., but drinking all the water, black coffee/tea, or unflavoured sparkling water I like.

By doing this I am giving my body a chance to digest, heal, and use up what has been stored as fat to fuel my body throughout the day.

Let me be very clear about wording here; Intermittent fasting is a way of life, NOT a diet.

At first, not eating first thing was a little difficult as I felt a bit weak and had headaches, but once my body adjusted to it, which took about 3 weeks, I realized that I don’t NEED to eat first thing as long as I get my nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in my “window”. I am in no way starving myself as many people believe! Starving is a state you have no control over, Fasting is a state you have complete control of.

What people don’t realize is that if we eat every 2 hours to “keep our metabolism going”, “to keep our energy levels up”, “to keep our blood sugar from dipping/crashing” we are actually never giving our bodies a chance to digest and use what is in our bodies already. As long as you have more than 10% body fat as a female (and truly the only females who don’t are highly trained athletes which, let’s be honest, very few of us are) you have enough stored body fat to become a “fat burning machine” every day! If we aren’t using this body fat which is being stored as soon as we eat it, what is the point of it?!?!

My “eating window” as it is referred to by IFers (Intermittent Fasters) started out as 8 hours, but has gone down to 2-4 hours a day usually as I am able to fill my body with enough nutritious food (lots of good healthy fats and proteins, mainly “whole” foods) in a much shorter span of time, and I’m simply not hungry until this time. I no longer revolve my day around meals. I no longer revolve my life around a “grumbling stomach”. Once you start doing this you realize that hunger pains come and go, they don’t just get worse and worse. When your body becomes “fat adapted” which means that it is fueling off of stored fat rather than the quick burning carbs you just put in, you have all the energy you need. I exercise (and those who know me know I am quite intense with my exercise!) in a fasted state 100% of the time and feel incredible; NEVER lack energy. I will never go back to exercising after eatting, but more on this later. When you figure this out and instead realize that drinking water, black tea, or coffee when your stomach makes noises is enough to get you past these “moments” you realize that you have been filling yourself unnecessarily all along.

I am going to leave it at that for my 1st post about this, but I am going to continue this journey with you all for a while now as I have barely scratched the surface of this fantastic new way of life.

I have learned so much and have so many resources to share so leave comments, message me if you want more info now. Otherwise….stay tuned as I am very passionate about this and can’t wait to share more 😁💪🌞

“SQ” Products

Standard

Thank you for checking out my SQ product line!!!!!

For our family I am making a ton of products, but I have chosen to start slowly so am  currently selling 4 of them:

Body Butter:  Olive oil, Coconut oil, Shea butter, Beeswax, essential oils (optional) (Can be made scented or scent free upon request)

Lip Balm: Beeswax, Shea butter, coconut oil, essential oil (optional)

Reusable Wax sheets (use instead of zip-top bags, and/or plastic wrap) Cotton squares ( various sizes available) with melted oil and beeswax.  These are eco-friendly, re-usable (wiped with soap and/or cold water) anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and can be used to wrap any food (except raw meat) from sandwiches, to cut fruit. Or you can cover your bowls etc. as you would have done with plastic wrap (terrible for the environment!)

Toilet Bombs: These “bombs” can be used weekly to keep your toilet clean and fresh! Just drop them into the toilet water, allow 5-10 minutes for it to dissolve and then use your toilet brush as usual and then flush away. Septic system safe, and eco-friendly!

Just an FYI here are some of the other products I have been experimenting with and using regularly in our home:

Liquid Laundry Detergent

All-Purpose cleaner

Foaming Hand Soap

Liquid Dish Soap

Facial and Body Scrubs (different types)

Deodorant

Dry Shampoo (dark and light hair varieties ) wet, and dry applications

Eye Cream

Anti-Bacterial Hand Sprays

SO….as I said, I am REALLY enjoying this and love making and using these products!!! I feel so much better using these and promoting these as what we put ON our body and what we breath in and clean our houses with is extremely important to living a healthy life!

Nutritious Balanced moderation

Standard
2016-04-10-16.33.43.jpg.jpegI’m not a nutritionist and don’t live on a restricted diet (due to food in tolerances or allergies), but I have done a lot of reading and watched many programs about eating right, so I just wanted to share what I myself like to follow.
I strive to eat balanced, nutritious meals daily and never deny myself a treat!  I make my meals, eat whole grain foods, and stop eating when I am full.   I also truly believe that cutting something you love out of your diet simply because you know it’s not good for you (only talking about food here), isn’t a good idea and you just end up craving it more or being miserable.  If you love it, have it, just serve yourself a smaller portion of it, and/or do some extra cardio that day to burn off that extra indulgence!
One bad habit people get into is eating when they are bored, but not necessarily hungry.  Try instead to drink a cup of water and see if this curbs that feeling.
2016-04-10-16.30.18.jpg.jpegOne other crucial tip is, the more unprocessed the food you put into your body the better.  Try buying ingredients and learning to make simple meals at home and taking a lunch to work, or dinner to dance class rather than always relying on fast food.  Try making a few doubled recipes when you have some time and freezing individual portions for those days you need to pack a meal.  Always have cut up vegetables on hand so that they are easy to grab when you or those in your family are feeling “peckish”.  Also, have fruit out and in a very visual spot so that everyone is more likely to grab a piece of fruit rather than going for some unhealthy snack!
2016-04-10-16.31.00.jpg.jpegMake it a goal to eat at least 1 vegetable at every meal.  Try to eat a variety of food groups throughout the day, and when you are making meals ensure that you are using a variety of colours and types of food available.
Some people prefer eating 6 small meals a day, others enjoy 3.  Whatever you choose, make sure you aren’t ever eating more than you are hungry for.  If you need to, keep track of what you are eating by writing it down, or downloading a phone app.  Another tip, eat slowly, and drink water before your meals.  I have read many times, that if you drink a glass of water it will help you to feel full and therefore help keep you from overindulging.
One last tip is to try eating your meals on a smaller plate. People think that they should fill their plate up with food, and if you are using a large plate, you are likely eating more than one portion.  If you use a smaller plate, you are more likely to eat less calories and your brain is tricked into believing that you are eating the same amount of food.
I hope these tips and tricks help you to try and change any bad eating habits any of you have, and that you will think more about what you are putting into your body!  If you can’t even pronounce it, or the ingredient list is very long, you should take a pass, or make it a “once in a while” treat!
Your Simply Susan tips for the day!
Live long, and eat on.…..as long as it’s healthy!!!
