A quick comparison

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Of laundry detergents.

First, let me mention the the only thing these two brands have in common is that they both wash the same number of loads.
96 loads — and that’s as far as it goes. The size difference is due to water. You’re paying for all the extra water in the package when you buy big name brands!

Not only that…

• The one on the left is powered with natural plant enzymes, is non-toxic and eco-friendly.

• The one on the right is filled with chemicals that can make you and your family sick.

• The one on the right costs 28 cents per load while the eco-friendly option is 19 cents per load! A difference of nine cents. Its may seem small potatoes, but just one load per week adds up. Besides, who really only does one load per week? My tiny package lasts me 11 months (I’m a one person plus chihuahua household) an average of two loads per week. An estimated savings of $187 on just detergent in 20 years. I think these products, detergent, fabric softener and brightener have helped my asthma over the years. With no formaldehyde or other harmful chemicals when compared to the brand-name laundry products I have been breathing easier for the past 20 years using Mela Power and companion products.

If you’ve thought about shopping for EcoSense solutions, but think that it somehow wouldn’t be worth it, or it would be too complicated, my advice is to just see for yourself!

I’m so confident… if you don’t love it, I’ll eat my socks!

It Matters

I have an interesting WHY IT MATTERS list I can send that may surprise you!

The Heat is on!

How safe and effective is your sunscreen?
Did you know that not all sunscreens are created equal?

Here’s why I only buy from the the Wellness Store:
It’s Made and Manufactured right here in the USA.

Why is a 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 good for you?
Mineral sunscreens don’t contain:
• harsh synthetic chemicals
• aren’t absorbed into your skin
• they’re safer for sensitive skin.

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that people with sensitive or acne-prone skin opt for mineral sunscreens.

So, if you’re looking for a sunscreen that is all-natural and/or reef-safe, mineral is the way to go. I know mine is safe, is yours?

You Don’t Know Until You Know…

then you do better!

Twenty years ago I ditched toxic cleaners and household products. I had no idea how harmful they were until my toddler nephew came close to getting into the cabinet under the sink—you know, the one where you keep all of your cleaning products.

Even with safety latches in place and near constant supervision he came close to being seriously harmed or possibly worse.

Every day reputable studies are telling us how dangerous the ingredients in our cleaners and personal products are. What are you waiting for? I don’t care what company or products you switch to, I just want you to switch!

Check out this study that was forwarded to me today by a friend. Click Here

Spring into Summer Cleaning

What a perfect time to make the switch and go green. Why? The proof is there. Studies by the EPA, CDC, NIH and especially the Lung Study. Here are some findings from that study:

  • Weekly use of national brand home cleaners are as damaging to lungs as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years
  • Women are affected more than men
  • Cleaning at home is just as harmful as being an occupational cleaner, if not more so
  • Liquid cleaners are just as dangerous as sprays
  • Dangerous chemicals, including ammonia, bleach and quaternary disinfectant compounds appear to be primary culprits
  • Women who regularly use cleaning products have increased rates of asthma
  • Damage is cumulative over time

Unfortunately, some products are marketed as green when they really aren’t. And then products that you touch everyday, like your Dawn dish soap have FORMALDEHYDE in them. What touches your skin is absorbed by the skin!

This is one of the easiest steps to creating a healthy home! Let me help you!

Discover the Magic of Magnesium!

Did you know that magnesium plays a crucial role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body?

From supporting muscle function; increasing overall health; reducing stress; promoting pancreatic health; and encouraging better sleep—this mighty mineral offers a plethora of health benefits.

Daily recommendations are around 400 mg for adults.
A few food options include:
• Almonds – 1 oz = 89 mg
• Chia seeds – 1 oz = 111 mg
• Pumpkin seeds – 1oz = 156 mg
• Spinach – 1/2 cup = 78 mg

Although those foods are all delicious – I prefer this pink drink. A single serving is a quick and easy way to get 250 mg!
Oh, did I mention it only has five calories? Say hello to improved health and vitality with magnesium!

It’s like Magic!

This is one of my favorite cleaning products.

Made to tackle the greasiest, grimiest messes indoors and out, this heavy-duty cleaner provides industrial-strength cleaning power to battle the toughest grease messes on your stovetop and in your oven without caustic ammonia, chlorine bleach, or other toxic chemicals.

I also use it to wash our cars. They always look pristine.

I love the everyday essentials I find shopping at my online wellness store. For the past 20 years I’ve been toxin free and eco friendly!

How Often Do You Prepare Home Cooked Meals?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Home-cooked meals offer so many benefits:

  • A reduction in process food consumption — Processed foods generally contain higher levels of unhealthy fats, sodium, dyes, preservatives and added sugars.
  • An increase in the use of fresh produce and whole grains — This can lead to a diet rich in essential nutrients and lower in harmful additives.
  • A greater awareness of portion control and mindful eating — The process of cooking makes us slowdown and make us more aware of how much we put on our plates.
  • Cultivation of life skills — Involving our children in meal prep teaches them healthy eating habits and important life skills they will need as adults.
  • Enhanced mental health — Research shows that creating a meal can positively enhance mood as the creative process helps one experience a sense of achievement.

But there’s a bigger picture. Studies suggest that frequent family dinners help prevent issues such as eating disorders, alcohol and substance use, depression, and suicidal thoughts in teens.

We live in a world where we are less connected than ever before, so why not use cooking as a way to build friendships and family relationships!

Protect Your Cells from SUGAR DAMAGE

We all know that sugar is not good for us for a plethora of reasons, but did you know that excess blood sugar can lead to GLYCATION which accelerates body wide aging.

Diabetics already suffer accelerated glycation, but the destruction that happens from glycation can happen to people with normal blood glucose levels as well.

Thiamine is a B vitamin you get from foods like whole grains, meat, legumes and nuts. It helps cells in your body grow and work and is essential for energy production and brain health. Research suggests that Vitamin B1 (thiamine) can prevent diabetes induced damage in eyes, hearts and kidneys.

Remember, if you take B Vitamins, make sure they are methylated to ensure your body can absorb them.
