Detox doesn't sound like a word when you say it too much

I'm detoxing my life.

I know I'm a hippie-dippie person for even writing this. But I don't think that's a bad thing.
I've already taken steps to rid myself of this depression and anxiety. And that's coming along, it's making progress. And that's good.
I just feel like there are still other things that I can, and will, get rid of. Actual toxins are one thing. I'm planning on cutting back on or quitting my use of a lot of beauty products that contain harmful or questionable chemicals and carcinogens. I just watched The Story of Cosmetics, and it reminded me of what I had in mind a few months ago but didn't have the means to carry out. You can wash your hair with baking soda and condition it with vinegar. You can clean your face with olive oil (I know, it sounds backwards). You can brush your teeth with baking soda.

I spend so much money on these products. I'm always on the lookout for some new kind of face wash or acne killer or shampoo that will change me to look differently. But my hair still gets frizzy and my face still breaks out, despite these products' best efforts. So I figure it can't hurt to try something a little (okay, a lot) more basic and natural. And why not? I already have the stuff lying around my house, and if I don't dig the results, I can always switch back to the stuff I use now. I'm just very into not having stuff, and it would be really cool if there were more things that I didn't have to buy. Saving money would be pretty awesome.

So that's what I'm cutting back on. I am detoxing in the literal sense there, getting rid of chemicals. I want to detox in a material sense by getting rid of how much stuff I have- it is a super huge pain to move it from home to college to back home. And I want to detox how much stress I have. I can cut back on communicating with stressful people or stressful things. I should be able to do it. And in the place of these nasty things, I guess I should add... what? Maybe just nothing. Because I don't take time to just sit and be. I think that's my agenda for this year. Just being without being toxic.
