Therese Forton Barnes
No perfume will ever tell you what, what ingredients are in their perfume because of this law. But that law, so you can take…you can make a product and you can put fragrance in it. You can put 50 carcinogens in there. And nobody’s going to question you.

Therese Forton Barnes
Same with laundry detergent, exact same thing. What’s in your laundry detergent, you’re sleeping in it. You’re breathing in the fumes that are off gassing from your clothes all day long. Your dryer is heating up all these chemicals.

But try just eliminating what you’re using for a month and see if you’re having ailments. And I’ll tell you 100% of the time that I get people to do this, they realize they’re not waking up with a sore throat, they’re not wheezing in the middle of the night, they’re sleeping better.

Therese lives in her beloved hometown of Buffalo, New York with her husband Tom and Australian Labradoodle Murphy. After earning a degree from Ithaca College with a major in Business and a minor in Health Studies, she had a business plan to open a health food store so everyone could have access to healthy eating and living, just like she had growing up. But out of college she ended up on another path and founded Events 2 A Tee, an event planning business that has operated in the WNY area for more than 37 years. But, on the side and for the last three decades, she has helped many people and cancer survivors learn how chemicals can be affecting their health. Her mother taught her everything about living a non-toxic life, but unfortunately, chemicals eventually took her mom’s life after swimming in a chlorinated pool everyday for over 50 years.
In 2020, Therese pivoted to her true passion: healthy, natural, non-toxic living. Therese brings over 40 years of hands-on, real-world experience in living a holistic, non-toxic lifestyle. She is also furthering her education and training all the time.
In 2021 she started a new business called Tee’s Organics. The product line consists of: An all-purpose cleaning spray and three room sprays that are also good for linens, sneakers, hockey/athletic bags, cars, offices, and more.

Besides living a healthy life, Therese loves to exercise, sip on organic wine, cook, walk her dog, go to the beach, listen to live music, plan parties, hang with her husband and dog Murphy, attend Buffalo Bills and Sabres games and to cruise in her 1971 Cutlass Supreme convertible.
