What are your thoughts on Berkey water filters. I am considering one for my family. We rent, and I don't want to permanently install or alter anything in the kitchen. Also, electricity is expensehive 😂 Another thing is my guilty pleasure of waffle making. I haven't seen any that fit your criteria (heck, I'd settle for finding an electrical waffle maker without a nonstick coating. Or even one that I can plop onto my induction cooker. 😢

glass breaks, it's best to use stainless steel cups for cold drinking water it retains the cold too so it's better, but glass is fickle you drop it once? that's it, I found myself buying glass set after glass set but stainless Steel is a game changer, that with a metal straw that you can soak in bicarb then clean in a dishwasher? can't beat that

this is probably one of the most mind boggling details about american culture. I want to take off my shoes any chance I get, its super uncomfortable and actually really bad for your feet orthopedically. also best way to get smelly feet... And it's super unhygienic. Why tf do people do this? This is barbarous... Edit: Come to realize, I even switch my street clothes to more comfortable sweatpants and sweatshirts immediatly upon entering my home. I don't want those yucky germs in my house...

[@MaryJane-de5tc]

I've always thought that you walk on some really dirty stuff outside, specifically maybe dog or cat waste. It really grosses me out to think of walking in my home with traces of feces and urine on shoes. I've never understood how others don't think of this

[@angeladansie4378]

I am happy to report that very few of these products are in my life. I have always liked traditional housewares, so my pans are mostly cast iron, though I do have some Gotham Steel pans that are ceramic coated. I don't use any silicone or teflon style bakeware. I don't have any carpet & my floors are either concrete or unfinished pine. My walls are done in raw pine. Only my kitchen is sheetrocked & painted. I don't buy any modern furniture that is all synthetic products & glues. I like old real wood furniture. Our well is 360 feet deep from an aquifer that comes from deep in the Rocky Mountains. I don't take my shoes off because I am in & out frequently doing ranch chores, cutting firewood, etc., but there has never been ANY herbicides or pesticides used anywhere near our 160 acres of wild sagebrush prairie. The worst I'll track in is some horse & chicken poo & a little bacteria doesn't worry me. I don't use many cleaners & what I do use is pthalate free, mostly Dr. Bronner's hemp oil soaps & vinegar. I haven't had a new car since 1990, partly because it's a waste of money but also because that long lasting "new car smell" is toxic off-gassing. As are air fresheners. My one toxic product that I knowingly conceded to is my memory foam mattress because I have beat up my body so badly that it's the only thing I can get comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep on. I figured "pick your poison." Good luck on the detoxifying your home journey all. It's worth it!

In Canada it is considered rude to not remove your shoes before you enter a house. apartment, condo,... You will get stopped and reminded immediately.

Good for you Gamma...might I suggest YOU do the research and decide which items would most positively impact your grandbabies...the new moms AND DADS of SECOND BABIES are so THRASHED from the sleepless nights & balancing "alone time" with their older child...and investing energy in nurturing THEIR LOVE that they are...UNDERSTANDABLY overwhelmed. The lovely empathic new mommies WITH WHOM I shared this information WERE THRILLED at these gentle suggestions. I recall how EXHAUSTED i was post second spawnling. You simply can NOT process information as once you are well and fully BABY BRAINED. MODERN HUBBIES are so involved in nurturing both their lovely wives and BOTH CHILDREN (and working) that they too, are...similarly...exhausted. I show up and say, "Please TELL ME what I can do to HELP YOU" (and then INSTANTLY ACT) and I observe any way I might HELP THEM. SUPPORTING LOVING parents is a mutually satisfying KINDNESS. ❤

Addition: Bamboo equipment/Cuttingboards/plates very often release lots of formalehyte. Its a mainpart of Woodglue, so basically every Glued wood has it inside. Plywood/Chipboard/Bamboo. Laundry detergent addition from an allergic person: Use only as much as there is written on the package. Use the double rinse option of your machine. Put some Vinegar in the thingy where you would put the softener.

Thanks. I'm allergic to the SLS. Toothpaste, shampoo, and lately I'm reacting to my laundry detergent. Not fun to be scratching hives at 3 am.

I buy SOLID WOOD utensils (which are STEAMED and fitted with wooden tenons [as opposed to glued]) and cutting boards. I've NEVER LIKED the inflated cost, INFERIOR QUALITY and deplorable ,"aesthetics" of modern IKEA type furniture, such that in 1980, when my then-boyfriend offered me $10,000 cdn to furnish our rental, my origional excitement waned as I examined the construction of the pseudo or faux "wood" pieces for sale...at LUDICRIOUSLY INFLATED prices. As the daughter of a fine woodworker, I knew well the inferior FUNCTIONALITY of manufactured wood products as compared to solid hardwoods (and softwoods). I told my love that i would PREFER to WAIT until we could AFFORD "near antiques", suggesting we search second hand listings of USED IKEA furniture as I reasoned such inferiorly manufactured items would have a more reasonable cost. My near antiques APPRECIATED with time, and my appreciation for each beautifully constructed case work has NOT diminished.

Need new friends

[@DanceintheRaine666]

I bought a Wonder Oven on the Black Friday sale. I asked my ex hubster (who began insisting I accept birthday and Christmas gifts AFTER he LEFT me) if he was "stuck" for a gift for this December and if he might, please buy me the oven such that our sons and I could "retire" our Airfryers. Ironically, I had gifted HIM with various luxuries in addition to the birthday and Christmas gifts I CONTINUED to buy for him AFTER he LEFT US. He is, afterall the man I loved for three decades and the father of my sons who survived TWO STROKES suffered on the day I told him I was leaving HIM. As a brain injured person, his daily challenges are MYRIAD and I was loathe to give him DANGEROUS small appliances HE ASKED for. A DEEP FRYER (for example) is DANGEROUS to a person with bilateral paraylis. I also bought him a brand new air conditioner in the HEAT of SUMMER (as paralyzed persons CAN NOT REGULATE their body temperatures as once they did). His sons and I stoicly and CHEERFULLY ENDURED the oppressive heat of that same summer (as we COULD NOT THEN AFFORD an air conditioner FOR OURSELVES) and rewarded our selflessness by buying an airconditioner IN LATE FALL when the cost PLUMMETED. I DO WITHOUT luxuries when SAFETY ITEMS are needed. We NEVER (or rarely ever) ate processed foods and the money we SAVED was spent on FULL FACE MOTORCYCLE HELMETS for my toddlers...helmets which cost MORE than the PW50 dirtbike I bought from friends who had OUTGROWN it. Where there is a will, there is a way. ❤

[@hollythomas7582]

I cook exclusively on cast iron except when cooking with tomatoes and artichoke as these draw out the iron turning the food to turn grey and over Tim is super hard on the iron pan itself. Attention is by Far the easiest to clean! A well seasoned (used) pan rinsed easily in hot water. Rarely do I need to add soap.

[@hollythomas7582]

Down Feathers’s bed mattress is the only thing ever! These can be shaken out and put thru the hottest dryer possible to kill germs. Virtually everything I sleep with is 100% cotton and or down. I wash regularly without issue. So obsessed I carry by one on my trunk, never travel without it. I have a linen obsession, as a kid the book Princess and the Pea started all that 😅

[@NatureNurtureAndNerd]

I’ve been switching things out as I am able to: mostly done changing my cookware, just finished changing my bed (handmade wool mattress with linen cover, cotton sheets, 100% down and cotton comforter and pillow, 100% silk pillowcase to replace my satin pillowcase). I’ve switched to natural and unscented versions of many products too. Unfortunately I do live right next to a busy highway and two gas stations. I’m saving money to move somewhere better in the next year or two.

[@dawneandjohn]

Can you PLEASE do a separate video about the hazards of fragrant laundry products and dryer fumes? ... and really deep dive into it too...esp the health risks to kids, adults, animals and plants. After 19 years of living here, our very close (proximity) neighbors switched last year to fragranced laundry detergent. The fumes are absolutely stifling us!! 😭🤮 I literally have to run into the house whenever it's running. I actually started having asthma-like breathing issues because of it... and I don't even have asthma! 🥴 It's poisoning our air, it's poisoning our garden plants, it comes into our windows, and our air conditioning unit is in direct line with their dryer vent. 😷 I've approached them to switch back to unscented, but they robotically replied "We love the smell." (I swear they are addicted to it!!) I've read that people can become addicted to it. 😬 I've been thinking about doing a video about it on our other garden channel (Happy Home and Garden with John and Dawne), but coming from you would be WAY better.🙏 Oh yeah... and on the other side of our house, our other neigbor uses fragrant laundry too. And another neighbor adjacent to our small back yard too. I'm literally bombarded with laundry smell almost every day outside in our yard. It's unbelievably horrible!!! 😱 HELP PLEASE!! 🙏🤞

[@coreenoxley7968]

While I understand your concerns about the potential effects of scented laundry detergents, it's important to recognize that you cannot reasonably expect your neighbors to change their detergent because the scent bothers you. It’s comparable to asking someone to alter their personal choices in their own home to suit your preferences. Instead, I suggest considering solutions within your control, such as investing in a high-quality air purifier. This can help remove toxins, fragrances, and other irritants from the air in your home, creating a more comfortable and healthier environment for you.

Thank you for pointing this out! I have one concern with your thoughts on tapwater vs. filtered water though. Perhaps the water quality in the US is so bad that you need to give this advice, but here in Germany it's different. We get our water from a barrage and it's of best drinking quality. There's a website where you can check the ingredients. Water filters aren't considered a healthier option here, because they can contain bacteria and germs. So I guess tap water quality depends on the country or area you live in ...

I think even organic mattresses have flame retardants by law-I may be wrong.. can you please look into this? I’ve tried and it’s confusing. Where we sleep is important and we don’t want it toxic

I wash my soles of my shoes everytime I wear them Also wash my slippers once a week. Just use normal soap and a old cotton rag

What's wrong with stainless steel pots? I thought they were safe.

[@mastalee1776]

She mentioned it. The chemicals from the metal itself. You don't want too much of it.

[@simplelife393]

I think if you use it for cooking acidic food, overall it's pretty much safe. I use stainless steel.

Thank you for this vital content! Quick question, how do you feel about stoneware from Pampered chef for example?

[@Socprofjoy]

Thanks for these videos! I’ve done several swaps like no shoes, and getting rid of plasticware and nonstick pans. I also have been mindful of not buying rugs made of plastic. What kinds of cooking utensils do you recommend?

Also, the glass water bottle link didn’t work.

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for watching! Way to go making all those swaps. I'm using untreated wooden utensils from Ikea and Aldi. There aren't many untreated wood options on Amazon, but I will add a link to the ones I found. They may have a lacquer on them, so not the best but still better than plastic in my opinion.

[@dryvonneburkart]

Thanks for letting me know! It should be fixed now. 😀

If this is supposed to be a joke it's actually pretty funny, if you are being serious however...

[@scattered-idea]

@@REALdavidmiscarriageit’s good though, gives you peace of mind

[@REALdavidmiscarriage]

@@scattered-idea Does nothing for me as it‘s just a monologue with something I don‘t and will never believe in. I believe in taking action and actually charging my problems head on instead of asking something as real as santa claus for help…

[@scattered-idea]

@@REALdavidmiscarriage well then, I hope you find something else that gives you peace of mind. I believe in taking charge physically as well, but for me (a pagan) prayer is just an extra step in taking charge🕯

[@REALdavidmiscarriage]

@@scattered-idea At least you‘re not into abrahamic religions. I can somewhat respect paganism although it is a bit weird, why not just be agnostic at that point. Spirituality can be experienced in many ways that don‘t require the belief in something super natural. Then again to each their own…
