Day 15: EcoSense MelaPower

Because clean should never mean chemicals and my family’s clothes can stink after workout.
MelaPower is a plant-based nontoxic laundry detergent that is tough on stains and odor. I shouldn’t have to choose between clean, fresh-smelling laundry and my family’s wellness. That’s why I choose MelaPower. MelaPower is formulated with safer ingredients that clean clothes effectively, but it doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg!
It makes it easy keeping up with the laundry this holiday season.

$19.49 to clean 96 loads in the 9X concentrated bottle.

Aspirin tips

If you take an aspirin every day, it’s best to take it at night. The reason: aspirin has a “half-span” of 24 hours. So if most heart attacks happen in the morning, the aspirin in your body will be at its peak then.

Aspirins can last for many years in your small home pharmacy, but not really because as they get older they smell like vinegar.

Why keep aspirin on your bedside table?

Besides pain in the left arm, there are other symptoms that indicate a heart attack:

  • Intense pain in the chin and jaw 
  • Nausea 
  • Heavy sweating

Note: In a heart attack it is possible that you have NO chest pain.

If you ever wake up to intense chest pains…

  • Immediately swallow two aspirins with a little water
  • Call 911 and say “heart attack”! Also mention that you took two aspirin
  • Sit on a chair by the front door and wait for rescue

DO NOT LAY DOWN!”

Day 12: Sei Bella Leave-in Detangler and Smoothing Spray

Have you seen my daughter’s hair?
She needs this daily, but it is a must for my hair after washing it, too.

As with all Sei Bella products, it exceeds EU standards for shiny and smooth hair.

Working my magic

I was asked “can you do your magic on these”? while being shown a pair of filthy sneakers.
I love a good challenge!

It’s crazy to think that plants are this powerful! Twenty years ago I would have pulled out the Clorox and not thought twice about the warning label. Today I took a better Ecosense way and look at the results—they look new!
I’m so glad I found a safer way, to get the job done, without jeopardizing our health!

I’m 21 Years Clean!

I’m proud to say that 21 years ago I made a decision to start detoxing my home of chemicals.

I must say it took me a while to make the decision. I basically had to after being admitted to hospital for the umpteenth time with life-threatening asthma and numerous lung infections. Having asthma, I was careful, I avoided smokey places, avoided perfume-y places, avoided too hot air or too cold air. But I wasn’t avoiding chemicals in my environment.

My lungs couldn’t handle the chemicals in the products I was using bot at home and at work. I knew if the chemicals existed in my home (like formaldehyde in the carpeting) and I knew they affected me, but I had come to the breaking point. I had to remove the ones I could and fast. I wanted to breathe!

Through a friend I found the Wellness Store and I’ve never gone back to my old standbys. I the first few weeks I saw an improvement in my breathing and energy levels. My new chemical-free products worked just as well —if not better than my old ones. The fact they are cleaner, greener and more affordable is just a plus.

The Wellness Store for the win. Isn’t it time you join me celebrating good health?

Day 4: Pre Spot Stain Remover

Because you have kids who play sports. Because you’re running a thousand miles an hour this holiday season and spills and stains happen.
PreSpot is a plant-based nontoxic spot treatment that gets all of the stains out, regularly.
It’s great to have on hand for quick clean ups. I carry a PreSpot stain stick in my purse at all times as I never know when I’m going to need it. I’ve watched red wine and blood stains disappear in front of my eyes with this little gem.

This year, everyone will be getting the PreSpot stain stick in their stockings!

$6.99 for the concentrate which makes two large spray bottles at a cost of $3.49 each.

“Dawn Dish Soap has not one but THREE ingredients that cause cancer. It smells as toxic as ever, especially once you haven’t used it for awhile.

Mrs. Meyers; The Honest Co.; Method; Burt’s Bees and Seventh Generation have all sold out to toxic big name brands who don’t give a rats behind about you. The companies: Branch Basics, Truly Free, and Ecos all have pending lawsuits.

Reason #696935 we shop where we do and have for 20 years: American made, won’t EVER sell out, and has never had a lawsuit or recall on any ingredient in 40 YEARS.

Think about it, $1.17 cleaners, $19 laundry detergent that lasts months, a $6 facial scrub, vitamins that actually absorb and work, and a company that really does care.”

Don’t you think it’s time you got on board?

Day 1: Clear Defense Hand Sanitizer

Am I seriously posting about hand sanitizer?
Yes, Yes I am.

I am because I absolutely loathe public restrooms and I want to avoid any “bug” that could potentially interfere with my immune system. Keeping hands sanitized can help prevent colds and flu.
Clear Defense is 97% plant based, kills 99.99% of germs while moisturizing. Plus, it smells absolutely amazing. This is my first line of defense when holiday shopping and for all my holiday plans.

A change in Mindset

I used to think the products I grabbed off store shelves were safe—because why wouldn’t they be?
But once I started digging into the ingredients, I realized I was bringing harmful chemicals into my home without even knowing it.
The good news? Switching to safer, better-quality products was as simple as changing where I shop.

Then: I used to grab whatever dishwasher detergent was at the store—until I learned many contain chemicals that stick to our dishes.
Now: I use an enzyme-powered formula that cleans without the harsh residues.

Then: I used to think All-Purpose cleaners were all the same—until I saw how many contained hormone disruptors and asthma-triggering chemicals..
Now: I use a botanically-powered disinfectant that’s safe enough for food surfaces.

Then: I used to buy big-name magnesium supplements—until I learned most don’t absorb well.
Now: I use a bioavailable formula with patented technology that actually benefits my body.

Then: I used to grab drugstore mouthwash—until I realized it was full of alcohol, fluoride, and artificial dyes.
Now: I use a cleaner alternative with essential oils that does the job without the junk.

Then: I used to overpay for essential oils..
Now: I get a powerful, high-quality blend for nearly half the price

I could keep going, but you get the idea. Every time I swap, I save money, get a better product, and feel good knowing I’m using safer options.

This 40-year-old, debt-free, privately owned store has completely changed the way I shop. Fast shipping, better ingredients, and no middlemen driving up prices. All this for ONLY $19 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒀𝑬𝑨𝑹!—which includes 30-50% off the everyday essentials you’re already buying, $100 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒔 to start, unbeatable customer service, and a 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚-𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆 on everything!
No risk, just peace of mind. I’ll never go back.
