I found an online shopping club

I found an online shopping club nearly 20 years ago with products that contain ingredients like those found at Whole Foods…but with competitive prices and shipping that rivals Walmart and Amazon Prime.

All I need to do is PICK, CLICK and my shopping’s done! All my essentials are delivered to my front door step within 48-72 hours. I no longer waste time or money by driving to the store or stores especially with today’s gas prices!

Now, who doesn’t like to save time and money?

I’m all about QUALITY and I find it’s even better when it’s at an excellent price.
The organic coffee Is so much better than what I got at Whole Foods… and it’s cheaper!
The Tub + Tile bathroom cleaner worked better than Scrubbing Bubbles, 409, and Ajax—not to mention it is so much safer!

The Tough N Tender crushed Mrs. Meyers cleaner and it smelled better, was more affordable and, it’s nontoxic so I could breathe a little easier all-around.

The Sol-U-Guard rocked my world when I found out it was better than Lysol. Remember when everyone was fighting over Lysol during COVID? This Sol-U-Guard is so much better than the competition. Plus, it is food safe while the coveted can of Lysol is not.

The next thing I knew, my shopping club products had taken over almost every area of my home including my essential oils, my skin care routine, deodorant, toothpaste, Band-Aids, fresh Riverbend Ranch Beef—even my sunscreen and my natural insect spray were from the shopping club. This store has almost fully replaced my shopping trips outside of fresh produce, chicken and fresh dairy products.

How did you take care of yourself this week?

No doubt throughout the week, you took care of family members, coworkers, and everybody but yourself. In reality, it’s not that we don’t want that massage or facial. The challenge for most of us is the lack of a routine that focuses and benefits ourselves.

So if booking massage just isn’t a reality for you, why not….

  • Take 45 minutes and curl up in a comfy chair with a great book
  • Listen to a podcast on having a positive mindset while you’re getting ready in the mornings
  • Treat yourself to a pedicure or go out for a long walk

Just changing your environment can be incredibly therapeutic so take some time TODAY to take care of YOU!

Worry less, dance more: Life’s a dance. The music will never be perfect, but don’t let that stop us from enjoying the rhythm!

Do you use Dawn dish soap?

It has often been mentioned that Dawn dish soap has formaldehyde in it and I often receive a response something like, “Surely not! Wildlife rescues use Dawn to wash wildlife after commercial oil tanker spills. I remember the commercials!”

Dawn Dish Soap is toxic because it contains harmful ingredients like Triclosan, 1,4-dioxane, synthetic dye, fragrance, and the dreaded methylisothiazolinone. These ingredients can cause mild to severe health conditions like nerve and liver damage, skin irritation, and allergic reactions.

You see, companies are not required to list all ingredients on personal use products, just industry level. Did you know formaldehyde has about 14 different names? If you research, you will see methylisothiazolinone and Methylchloroisothiazolinone are both forms of formaldehyde. 

Many dish soap brands have labels that state the product is “biodegradable” with Methylisothiazlinone and Methylchloroisothiazolinone listed as ingredients. If you are, like me, are allergic to formaldehyde, you may want to make certain you are avoiding that these chemicals to prevent skin reactions. 

Dawn soap is also toxic to wildlife, especially the aquatic community, because it poisons the water. This liquid cleaning agent contains 1,4-dioxane, a substance renowned for polluting or contaminating the water.

Methylisothiazolinone is highly toxic for freshwater and estuarine organisms. Dawn also contains plenty of other dangerous chemicals. Pei-14 PEG-24/Ppg-16 Copolymer has links to cancer, organ effects, skin irritation, and damage to your vision.

Even the company EWG, which allows companies to buy good ratings, give Dawn a D rating!

That’s why I threw away all my Dawn and switched to Lemon Brite, because I want to ensure my family’s health.
