Haven’t even been down any of those smelly aisles of cleaning and laundry products in 19 years! All of my essentials, personal, cleaning products including my supplements are delivered right to my door. All clean, good for my home, good for the humans and furbies in my home and good for the environment!
I love this job and this company! can’t wait to tell you about it.
Please, always read the labels on the foods you by. No matter what the front of the box or package says, turn it over and carefully read the back, please. It could affect your health.
With all the food and pet products now coming from China, it is best to make sure you read label at the grocery store (especially Walmart) when buying food products. Why? Many products no longer show where they were made or manufactured, they only show where the distributor is located.
Therefore, it is important to read the product’s bar code to track it’s origin. Knowing how to read a bar code may be useful when grocery shopping, if a product’s origin is of concern to you. It also helps you buy more US and Canadian goods and fewer products from China. Because of several past issues with products made in China, it is understandable that the world is concerned about China-made “black hearted goods”.
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products “MADE IN CHINA “, so they don’t show from which country the product is made.
This is our right to know,, but the government and related departments never seem to educate the public—therefore we have to rescue ourselves.
How to differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China:
If the first three digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.
Remember to buy USA & CANADIAN made goods, look “0” at the beginning of the number.
So, I bought the Clean and Gleam spray mop from my online Wellness shopping club and my hardwood floors have never been cleaner or shinier! This product is safe for my family and dog.
Why? Because the floor cleaning and polishing products are plant-based with no harmful chemicals or toxins. I am so thankful I made the switch to cleaner, greener products that are not only safe for my pet, but myself as well
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.
I fell in love with the fact that this is an American company, owned by a Americans and that everything is made right here in America!
Needless to say, one thing led to another, and I found myself digging through this company’s ingredient philosophy, the science behind their products, and even further into the research that supported everything they claimed. I fell in love.
It’s changed my life—I can breathe again, in more ways than one.
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.

New research published in the journal Neurology suggests that brushing your teeth can boost the brain — helping to reduce the risk of dementia.
People with good dental hygiene had more neurons in the hippocampus, the study found; the hippocampus plays a role in memory.
Gum disease and tooth loss were linked with less gray matter and declining mental health.
These findings have clinical implications as regular visits to the dentist may help prevent Alzheimer’s, scientists pointed out.
Said lead author Dr. Satoshi Yamaguchi, of Tohoku University in Japan, “Tooth loss and gum disease, which is inflammation of the tissue around the teeth that can cause shrinkage of the gums and loosening of the teeth, are very common,” SWNS, the British news service, reported of the findings.
“So evaluating a potential link with dementia is incredibly important,” he also said.
“Our study found these conditions may play a role in the health of the brain area that controls thinking and memory — giving people another reason to take better care of their teeth.”
BE WELL: FLOSS YOUR TEETH DAILY FOR BETTER HEART HEALTH
Chewing boosts blood and oxygen flow to the head — keeping the brain healthy. Gum disease is caused by inflammation of tooth-supporting tissues. It affects about one in seven adults. The study involved 172 Japanese participants whose average age was 67; they did not have memory problems at the outset.
For those with mild gum disease, fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage in the left hippocampus — key for remembering words and language. The same phenomenon was identified in those with severe gum disease and more teeth.
Said Dr. Yamaguchi, “These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just retaining the teeth. The findings suggest retaining teeth with severe gum disease is associated with brain wasting.”
DENTISTS REVEAL WHY YOU SHOULDN’T BRUSH YOUR TEETH IN THE SHOWER
He also said, “Controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and teeth with severe gum disease may need to be extracted and replaced with appropriate prosthetic devices.”
In mild and severe gum disease, one less or one more tooth was equivalent to nearly one year and 1.3 years of brain aging, respectively, the study noted.
Participants underwent dental exams and memory tests. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of the hippocampus at the beginning of the study — and again four years later, as SWNS reported of the results. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for gum disease by looking at periodontal probing depth, a measurement of the gum tissue.
Healthy readings are from one to three millimeters.
Mild gum disease involves probing depths of three or four mms in several areas, and severe gum disease five or six mms as well as more bone loss. It can cause teeth to become loose and eventually fall out.
Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel, a clinical professor of medicine and a practicing internist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, told Fox News Digital, “There is something to this.”
He said a large study in 2020 by the National Institute on Aging “linked gum disease to dementia. It is because bacteria is associated with inflammation — and inflammation leads to neurodegeneration.”
So “it makes sense that brushing your teeth and caring for your gums decreases both bacteria and inflammation and thereby dementia,” he said. Dr. Siegel added, “It is also connected with staying active and caring for yourself, which decreases depression, and is also associated with dementia. Keeping the brain active and working slows neurodegeneration and dementia.”

Here are some tips on how to save money at the pumps! Get the most out of your gas dollars.
Tip #1: Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold.
Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening….your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.
A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business—service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
Tip #2: When you’re filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode.
If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. You should be pumping on low mode, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you’re getting less for your money.
Tip #3: One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL.
The reason for this is the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, most trucks are loaded and have temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.
Tip #4: If there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up; most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
And lastly, put a smile on your face. ..at least you have a vehicle and the money to put gas in it.
Lavender Oil is one of the most popular essential oils in the world. Because of its many uses, we consider this a must-have oil to keep at home. From encouraging peaceful sleep to soothing troubled skin and easing feelings of tension, Lavender’s calming properties can enhance every aspect of your life. Even in you aren’t immersed in the world of Aromatherapy, it’s worth keeping a bottle of Lavender Oil by your bedside. Here’s why:
The neurological benefits of lavender oil include treating depression and boosting moods. Research shows that it has the potential to treat Alzheimers disease, as well as reduce oxidative stress and improve cognitive impairment.
Pure Lavender has a Sweet, floral, and herbaceous aroma that inspires feelings of calm and relaxation. Originating in France & Bulgaria, Lavender has been an important ingredient in cleansing and calming rituals for centuries! The Romans even named the plant after its use in their bathing routines (“lava” means “to wash” in Latin). In Elizabethan times, when bathing was uncommon, lavender was used to perfume clothes and bed linens.
Some Usage Ideas:
I pamper myself by putting a few drops of lavender oil in my bath. I love to put in on the soles of my feet as I climb into bed. I also have a lavender oil spray so I can mist on my pillows. It makes me feel like I’m in a spa!
Just a little comparison of one of my favorite products and how it compares to brand name products.
