Mansfield Mothers’ Club To Host Neighbor’s Talk on Healthy Living Tips

Mansfield Mothers' Club will sponsor a talk by Kristi Marsh, author, public speaker, non-profit founder and an Easton neighbor of ours Feb. 5, 7 p.m., in the Mansfield Public Library.

Mark Feb. 5 on your calendar as day one for living more clean and green.

That evening, the Mansfield Mothers’ Club will sponsor a talk by Kristi Marsh, author, public speaker, non-profit founder and an Easton neighbor of ours. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m., in the Mansfield Public Library, 255 Hope St.

We felt it was important to showcase Kristi in our town so she could give us insight on the easy, cost-effective changes we can make to the products we smother on our skin, the foods we devour and our surroundings so we can liver a cleaner, greener lifestyle. We hope everyone will make time to come and learn simple tips to choose products with kinder, simpler ingredients to give themselves the gift of the best life possible.

After being diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer at age 36 and mom to three young children Kristi started on a quest to eliminate harmful chemicals from her life and environment. Now she is a proponent for environmental health and has passion is to share her knowledge and journey with others. We’re excited to welcome her in Mansfield!

Kristi founded Choose Wiser, an organization dedicated to educating people about the interaction between environmental toxins and their health, and empower and encourage them to raise the bar on the products they purchase and bring into their homes by becoming savvy, aware consumers.

Her first book, “Little Changes,” promises to offer a cup of humor, a smidgeon of sarcasm, and a wallop of mainstream motherhood to enlighten readers about the simmering, swelling, epic transformation of our generation; becoming self-advocates for their own environmental health.

Kristi will also provide info on her upcoming retreat, “Home Eco-Momics 101,” April 13 - 14, at the MIT Endicott House in Dedham. This one-of-a-kind “choice makeover” retreat, inspired by “Little Changes,” is the perfect introductory experience for curious women looking to understand how our choices about what
we purchase, eat, use, and surround ourselves with, can influence our beautiful bodies, our health, and that of our families.

More information on Kristi and her retreat are available at http://www.choosewiser.com. Watch this blog during the next week or so for a bit more background on Kristi.

If you plan to attend, please bring a wide mouth glass jar because we will be making a cleaning scrub there! To RSVP for the event, please email jkriker@gmail.com. Refreshments will be provided.
