Awareness Makes for Excellent Mommys!

Buenos Dias my Dear Friend... Thanks for stopping by!  Spanish Caffe?  Yes, spanish Darling, I’m feeling a bit spicy today or maybe like the weather down under... HOT!  Come make yourself comfy as I’ve got a blend to fill your cup with that by the time it’s empty, we may have steam coming out of our ears... Okay, maybe I already have steam coming out of my ears and I may need to switch to decaf!
I’ve been feeling a bit, mmmm, how shall I say it... well... angry!  No Darling, not at you of course, never at you.  I’m frustrated at our current situation about how our country does their business!  Not just over the business of stale mate politics in Washington, but a combination of greedy corporations, uninformed consumers, greedy corporations, and did I mention greedy corporations? 
Now you know me Darling, I’m all for sexy MILF talk, I’m up for juicy conversations involving bad Mommys, heck... I’m even up for screaming at Adele for singing to my Hubby, but I just can’t not talk to you about our countries current situation just because it will make me ‘P C’... besides, when am I ever politically correct anyways??  Oh Caffe, be careful what you say...
I don’t think I need to be careful when all I’m doing is informing you... my close, personal, Dear Dear Friend!  I just want what’s best for you and if we can chat about things that matter, then that makes our friendship that much stronger.
The reason I sit upon my high horse as one hater has proclaimed that I did and write the things I do... you know... I tell Mommys to wise up, I talk about bad parenting... the list is endless when it comes to topics about being a Good Mommy is because I’m an excellent Mommy who is aware of the environment around me.  What the heck are you talking about Caffe?!  Being aware makes a good Mommy and I’m very aware so I must be excellent!
I’ve chatted about awareness before in a Mommy Lesson, but the awareness I’m talking about today is this...
Did you know that the cosmetic industry is not regulated?  Do you know what that means Darling?  It means that the cosmetic industry is self regulated and that they can put anything they want on their labels... anything!  This means they can use the words, Natural or Safe or anything they want and they don’t have to mean it.  Wonderful huh?  This includes shampoos, lotions, cosmetics... LIPSTICKS!!!  And guess where many unwanted and harmful chemicals are found?... BABY SHAMPOO.  
Do you know what GMOs are?  Uh huh, you’ve maybe seen the label on a food package in the health food aisle, it may say something like this... NO GMO or NO GE.  Genetically Modified Organisms or Genetically Engineered.  You don’t want GMOs in your food or your children's.  Why? and what does that mean?
  
The food has been tampered with and chemically changed, which changes the structure or proteins of that food and when you think you are feeding your family with a healthy meal... you’re not!  Because the proteins have changed, your body doesn’t recognize what it is and in turn doesn’t get the nutritional value that is so needed in our daily diets.
Guess what?  Food manufacturers don’t need to label their foods that have been genetically modified.  That makes me want to throw a cup of boiling liquid onto the heads of those who feel we Mommys don’t need to know what we serve our families!
How dare they!  And everyone wonders why our kids have so many allergies... OOOOHHHH, I just want to scream and wake everyone up!!
These are only a couple of examples of greedy, nationwide industries not caring about the welfare of the next generation... our children.  The only thing that matters to them, is how fat their pocketbooks get!  I’m mad as hell that people are not aware of these on going situations, but this information I have brought to you is not easily accessible and I blame the big companies for not being transparent.
  
I am not going to refill my cup... I’m too frustrated and my lipstick is muddled and probably filled with lead!  I hope you take our little chat seriously, as we Mommys need to stick together and help each other become more aware of our surroundings and who is on our side and who is not.
I’m on your side Darling... I want us to be able to make a positive difference in our families lives and one of the best ways to do that is... awareness... Until next time my FABulous Friend... Ta Ta!

  1. Those GMO's are probably what is causing this damn epidemic of cancer in this world of ours. I believe in fresh organic veggies and fruit. I feel your pain sista....It is sad what these "companies" are getting away with.

  2. I am very aware of what my family eats, it's amazing the junk out there. We are big on purchasing from our organic local farmers who come to the Farmers Market every Saturday. I am not worried about what crazy chemical my child is ingesting while eating strawberries or green beans:-)
    Have a fabulous weekend!!!
    XXOOXXOO

  3. Hey lady,
    Hope you're doing well! I don't like excessive government regulation, but with makeup and GMO's it's hard to believe that there's not more regulation! Too bad companies can't be trusted to make their own conscientious decisions. Now pass the chicken nuggets!

  4. Every time I turn around some product I totally trusted ends up being hazardous to our health. I wonder if people before the 1800's had this many health problems. I mean caused by the these they ate and used around their homes.
    I a am member of the Blogaholic group Follow Me Follow You. I decided instead of joining a blog hop this weekend I would just hop around our group and follow their blogs. I am now following you on Linky Followers.

  6. UGH! I hate the Government regulating anything. I trust them about as much as I trust my dentist not to hurt me.

    I hate the companies that lie to make a buck. Of course, the government does that too.

    I'm disgusted with what companies put into their products. Do you know they're manipulating these products that are now affecting sperm count and destroying mommy eggs when our precious little girls aren't even teenagers yet?

    Wake up people...please, I beg you. Do your own research, grow some lima beans, I don't know...*pant pant*

    I need to have some more coffee with you. I'm on fire!

    1. Let me cool you down with some decaf Darling as I need to settle down a bit as well... yesterday I went to buy a gift for a Dear friend of mine who just gave birth. I walked through the baby aisle cooing like a blubbering fool as I mentally went down memory lane... and then I woke up with a scream! EVERY SINGLE bottle of Johnson & Johnson has PEG as their ingredient ... OH... so did Aveeno... PEG is an ingredient directly related to CANCER!!!!

      Hurry up and work decaf... forget decaf... I need a shot of Stoli Elit!!

      Blowing kisses Sharon Darling... xoxo

  7. Thank you for writing this. We seem to put this stuff on the back burner. Thanks for the reminder. Moms need to unite. Thanks for the beautifully written plea for awareness and passing this on to us. I posted on my facebook to 1000 friends and on my twitter account too.

  8. I admit to not paying much attention to this kind of things. I try to eat a balanced healthy diet, use mineral make-up and "natural" products but didn't realize these things weren't regulated like I thought.
