The Best Dishwashing Liquid of 2023?

The New York Times promotes this liquid dishwashing liquids as the “Best in 2023” Well, that isn’t necessarily true. 

Advertisement for these and National brands bank on the idea that consumers are dumb by promoting “green” products like Mrs. Meyrs and Seventh Generation as safe but, in reality, these detergents contain formaldehyde to help preserve the products in warehouses for a few years before being transported to the retailer and then it’s stored in the retailers’ warehouses until it’s time to stock the shelves. 

Did you know?  All of these products in the photo, are to be used with caution—as they contain possible skin irritants. Chemical products such as ethanol, glycol ethers, formaldehyde, ammonia and others are often found in these cleaners. Mixing these products with bleach can produce toxic fumes. Repeated exposure can cause asthma-like symptoms and harm the central nervous system.Plus, they have been known to cause swelling and tearing of the eye tissue. The emitted vapors can cause coughing, wheezing, labored breathing, and in severe cases, death. 

There are so many safer options at the Wellness Shop Club!

The body achieves what the mind believes.

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Being physically active can improve your

  • Brain Health

Sometimes we use “I don’t have time” as our excuse, but it’s really about priorities. As the saying goes, “if we don’t make time for exercise, we’ll probably have to make time for illness.”

If you find yourself having trouble staying committed to exercise, then grab a buddy and go out for a walk. Starting with a walk, early in the morning, during your lunch break, or after dinner is a great place to start!

Here’s what I do:

  • I swim or do water running nearly every day 
  • I work out on my Concept 2 Rower every morning
  • I have elastic bands for a quick set of reps while watching TV
  • I walk my dog twice a day, he’s not always thrilled, but it does us both good

What do YOU do for exercise? Post in the comments below.

Tip of the day

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Think about it

Frame every so-called disaster with these words: ‘In five years, will this matter?’

Sunscreen and collagen ? Yes, please!

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid found in certain algae. (It’s what gives salmon, lobsters, and flamingoes their pinkish color!!)

This antioxidant is 6,000 times more potent than Vitamin C; 560 times more potent than green tea; and
800 times more potent than CoQ10, providing the highest level of protection for your brain, heart, eyes, skin and entire body!

Astaxanthin protects the skin against the damage associated with sun exposure—because of its potent antioxidant properties, it neutralizes the free radicals produced by the sun’s rays and prevents the typical damage caused by sunburn.

Astaxanthin has an impressive ability to help skin manage photodamage by promoting new skin cells, elastin, and collagen production.But it doesn’t replace topical sunscreen—you still need to use that every two to three hours.

Taking astaxanthin daily can:

• Improve skin elasticity

• Reduce age spots and wrinkles

• Protect cells against UVA-induced skin damage

• Work as an internal sunscreen

It’s a great supplement to take in the summer, but the health benefits are good year-round!

Like this if you love the sun and your skin!

Clean Laundry, Safer Ingredients

The goal of EcoSense® is to help you clean your home without compromising your family’s safety, the environment, or your wallet.

Most laundry detergents use unsafe chemicals like chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, phthalates, and parabens that can damage your lung capacity or irritate your skin. Others may use nontoxic ingredients, but those cleaners don’t effectively remove stains. And most of them use way more water and plastic than is necessary.

Get more for your money! Less than $20 for 96 loads!! It works great powered by 5 natural enzymes.

Super-concentrated laundry detergent that easily lifts stains and smells amazing. It uses safer ingredients (no chlorine bleach here!), reduces plastic waste and is more affordable per wash. Just one pump or 10 mL (that’s 2 teaspoons!!) is all you need to clean a full load of laundry, and one small 32 oz. bottle is enough to wash 96 loads. EcoSense Reusable Laundry Pump and Drain-Back Cap sold separately.

EcoSense is dedicated to helping you make the most of your cleaning budget! We concentrate our products so you don’t pay for excess water. 

EcoSense uses:
• Uses natural enzymes to remove tough stains like grass, chocolate, grease, mud, and more

  • Free from unsafe ingredients like chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, phthalates, and parabens
  • Super-concentrated formula that costs much less and uses less water and plastic than Tide
  • Effective in cold water

REPLACES: Tide, Gain, and any other laundry detergent

The result? You get superior cleaning power at a fraction of the cost per use compared to other brands.

Why pay for water at the store when you can add it for free from the tap? We are pretty sure 100% of households have running water available on tap. If a product needs water, you can just add it at home.

You shouldn’t have to choose between clean, fresh-smelling laundry and your family’s wellness. That’s why MelaPower is formulated with safer ingredients that clean clothes effectively, but it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!
