Poisoning…Did you know
Each year, more than two million poisoning cases are reported in the United States — some of which are tragically fatal, but many of which are preventable.
Household products are one of those preventable ones. By simply switching to a responsible manufacturer that offers products with safer ingredients, lives can be saved.
I’m not sorry to burst your bubble, but Seventh Generation and Mrs. Meijier are not as safe as you may believe. They can contain formaldehyde and who know what other harmful ingredients. I remember when I didn’t know that there were unsafe products sold. I thought that they made it to the shelves because they had been tested and approved for safety and I really thought the companies and testing boards would recall everything unsafe. How wrong I was.
I’ve been shopping better, safer and cheaper for 19 years now! I am so happy to have an answer to help my friends!!
Some notes about “Keto Friendly”
There is a lot to be said about the Keto diet and many store bought items are being marketed as “Keto Friendly”. But be careful purchasing anything listed as “Keto Friendly.”
Why? Because Keto is based on high fat, high protein and many of the foods and food combinations offered in the store are designed purely to get fat grams in the body without any carbs.
For example, most nuts they recommend contain a high calorie to fat ratio and contain very little protein, such as macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, cashews, and pistachios. It’s best to take this snack list in moderation to avoid going into ketoacidosis.
R3 is based on healthy food, learning to adopt clean, healthy, non-emotional eating. R3 allows you to eat many of the snacks listed below in moderation and make certain you are getting your daily protein.
Shopping Stress
Definitely not enough staff in the stores these days, but the managers tell me that they cannot find people to hire so……who knows? I shop at three different stores for what is on sale, so I often make three trips, I can do that because I have a car. If another store offers a special price on one of my staple items, I may need to make a fourth store visit.
But when I shop for my cleaners, personal care items, vitamins supplements), I head to my online wholesale shopping club as it has the best quality and prices and I don’t have to drive. Plus, I now get my beef from this club too! I order online and it is delivered right to my door.
What do I get?
I get hormone-free, antibiotic-free, grass-fed, premium beef..
Non-toxic, safe, effective cleaners and high-quality personal care items.
Effective high-absorption supplements, snacks and superfoods.
All with amazing customer service.
Am I grateful? YES! YES! YES!

Self Care is so important!
What are YOU doing to take care of yourself this weekend?
Making your personal health a priority can make your week be more productive and enjoyable!
Clean your bathroom without compromise!
Here’s a reality check: a 20-year independent study found that using common household cleaners, including chlorine bleach, as little as once a week damaged lung capacity as much as smoking a pack of cigarettes every day for 20 years!
There’s a safer way to clean. Tub & Tile melts away soap scum and hard water spots with safer ingredients such as citric acid, like that found in lemons. No harsh fumes or abrasives, so you can clean without compromise!
Can’t beat beets
Beets are known as a Superfood because they offer a winning combination of being rich in nutrients, low in calories, and high in antioxidants.
Beets contain…..
• Manganese, Folate, Vitamin B2 and Potassium, which help support healthy bone and muscle.
• Betaine, an antioxidant, prevents cell damage which can strengthen your fight against cancer, heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes. This is what gives beets their red color!
• Beta Carotine, which helps to support eye health and prevent eye disease. This is found in the beet greens!
Plus, beets have an anti-inflammatory effect that may reduce your risk for cognitive decline. Research shows that drinking beetroot juice may help boost your levels of hemoglobin, a type of cell responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.
When buying beets, look for tender ones that are medium size. And be sure you buy them with the stalks!
