Clean Living

Story by Dawn Gray Photos by Dawn Gray and Eva Antonel
Imagine making the decision to live a healthier life . You start your day with a homemade smoothie instead of the usual large double double . You use the stairs at work and since it ’ s such a beautiful day , you walk to the gym instead of driving . You eat a salad for lunch , free range chicken for dinner and vow to only drink water . By the evening you ’ re feeling pretty good about your day of transformation and the decision to take your health into your own hands . But as you step into the shower to wash the well-earned sweat from your skin , you don ’ t think twice about lathering your body with potentially toxic chemicals .
