Welcome! Let’s Detox Your Life

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here.

My Story —————

My name is Kara, and I live with my husband, son and 6 year old Shih Tzu (Pepe) in Florida. I’m originally from Minnesota, and have lived in several different states, but can definitely say I’m the happiest when it involves sunshine and warm weather.

I began my nontoxic journey about 3+ years ago when I was repeatedly given ‘bandaid’ solutions from healthcare providers around certain symptoms I was experiencing. I had a feeling that there must be a deeper root cause and that’s when I decided to start research what a healthier lifestyle could look like and meant. At the time, I was freely enjoying eating anything and everything I wanted, using all the mainstream and popular beauty products and using standard household cleaners - all of which I quickly learned can have a HUGE impact on our health and well-being.

As I started to transition away from those more toxic products, started eating a clean and organic diet and got rid of a lot of the synthetic fragrances in my home, my health started to change and I noticed a difference in how I felt, my mood and just overall happiness.

Fast forward to today, that’s where Organic Minded Mom was born and I’m here to help educate you on your journey to a better and healthier lifestyle!
