My name is Amanda and this is my blog, Donna Naturale, which means Natural Woman in Italian. I am obsessed with Italy and am even learning Italian and planning for a dream vacation there someday soon! I blog toxins in the everyday products we all use and cleaner, more natural, product alternatives.
A little about me…
I am a mother of a blended family with 9 (yes, 9) children. I have worked in the medical field for over 15 years and a medical coder for the last 10. I started this blog because I have experienced some of the common side effects of toxic ingredients. I want to not only raise awareness of these toxic chemicals but also to offer greener, less toxic choices. I also hope to eventually promote changes in legislation to prohibit the use of these toxins.
Things I LOVE!
These are a few of my favorite things…family and friends, plants and gardening, coffee, tattoos and art, being outdoors, trying/learning new things, all things DIY, reading and writing, geocaching, traveling, and experiencing different cultures.
I have always had a love for stories and writing. I can remember when I was a little girl being so excited to go to work with my mom…she drove the Bookmobile for the county library then. The Bookmobile was a large truck with shelves of books from floor to ceiling. I would pick out a book, or several, and sit under her desk in the back of the truck to read. My mom has worked at the library here for close to 40 years so we push books like crack. All kidding aside, I believe having good reading and writing skills are essential skills needed in life. Through blogging, I am able to use this platform as [another] creative outlet and to learn and grow more as a writer.
What you will find on Donna Naturale
I hope to share educational and informative posts, explaining the toxins we should be aware of and how we are exposing ourselves daily. I will be adding product reviews and sharing tips on how to live greener, more sustainable and less wasteful lives.
Join us!
Join my family and me as we transition to a cleaner lifestyle and kick these toxins to the curb!
