Clean savings!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I don’t know about you but my frugal self will always try to save money wherever I can—especially with this crazy inflation.

Last year, I happily purchases some household goods from my favorite online wellness store. The package arrived two days later. My favorite product wa part of the order it comes in concentrated form. This small bottle concentrate costs $6.99, but when mixed as directed, makes six spray bottles of full-strength cleaner. This makes it so economical— at $1.16 per spray bottle. That’s less than what you’d pay at the Dollar Tree.

It’s time for me to reorder this all-purpose cleaner and I still don’t have to go to the store for it and I know it will be here in two or three days.

I love these kind of savings!

ECOSENSE CLEANING HACK!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Use Tub & Tile to remove stubborn, old, set-in underarm stains.
Simply spray Tub & Tile directly on the stains, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and wash as normal.

This is all it takes…

Yes, this is all it takes for a load of laundry.
I know, it’s pretty impressive.
It’s a good thing because I have about a thousand more loads today after being gone for a two week road trip.

Did you know most liquid laundry detergents are full of water? Check your ingredients! Not only will you be unable to pronounce most of them but WATER is usually the first one! That’s just another reason I love this concentrate—I don’t have to pay for the water I already pay for! It’s super affordable for a container that can clean 96-loads, plus the compact size makes it easy to lift and carry. I ordered my detergent today and it will be here in two days! Amazon prime doesn’t hold a candle to this deal.

What makes it special for me is that it contains:
• No Chlorine Bleach
• No Formaldehyde or Carcinogens
• No Phthalates
• Biodegradable
• No Harsh chemicals
• No Fillers

It is so much safer for me, safer for my family and better for us all because it’s all made right here in the USA.

Why consider switching stores?

This one goes out to all the mamas, baby mamas, and grandmamas.

Did you know that it only takes 26 seconds for the cleaning CHEMICALS in your floor to enter your child’s bloodstream through their feet? WW! Let that sink in.

It may be time to consider switching stores— if not for you, for your little ones.

I am so glad I found plant-based cleaners for our home at The Wellness Store. Our heath improved and I’ve never looked back!

Do you call it a Snake Plant Or Mother-in-Law’s Tongue?

Growoing up, we always had one of these plants in our house. One had been in the family for generations. We called it the Snake Plant—it was great, it didn’t need much in the way of care, but it was a steady grower. Some people told us they called it the “Bedroom plant” as they kept it in the bedroom as an air purifier. Today, I have a large one in my living room and many larger ones out along my fence in the backyard, and they are spreading. Now I found out the “old wives tales” about purifying the air are true!

NASA has classified Sansevieria, now called Dracaena, as an air purifier due to its ability to remove toxic compounds such as benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene and toluene.

This plant uses the acid metabolism of the Crassulaceae to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, enabling it to resist drought.

The microscopic pores on its leaves, called stomata, open only at night to limit water loss through transpiration in the heat of the sun. Unlike other plants, Sansevieria produces oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide at night, making it an excellent indoor air purifier while we sleep.

I may just move one into my bedroom now!

Safe for fur babies!

Baby detergent

Draft baby detergent, is’s good, right? Well, not necessarily. Many of you probably use a different detergent for your baby’s clothes, and you probably assume this detergent is a special formulation. This is very rarely the case

Any laundry detergent you use will leave a residue on clothing and linens, which is then inhaled and absorbed (via skin) by the people who come in contact with it…and most conventional detergents, be they marketed for baby clothes or grownup clothes, contain some combination of the following:

• synthetic detergents, which are often made of petrochemicals;

• phenols (established endocrine disruptors, of which BPA is the most notorious);

• fragrance, which often contains phthalates;

• optical brighteners, which are often made from benzene, a definite carcinogen;

• bleach, which contains chlorine (an environmental toxin–and possibly a carcinogen and endocrine disruptor);

• phosphates, which break down minerals and render detergent more effective, at the cost of harmful environmental ramifications.

Another one of the many reasons I switched stores.

Another wellness store tip…

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

This is one tip that I’ve used in my home for several years now.
MelaBoost is a laundry fragrance booster that my entire family loves. When the bottle is empty, I fill it up halfway with water and give it a good shake. I mix a few capfuls of rubbing alcohol with it to help it evaporate after I spraying. I had a spare Reivie spray bottle so I decided to use that and wrote “Boost” on the side so I know what I’m grabbing.
So now you are probably wondering, what the heck do I use it for? Well, this is the best way to use every last drop of MelaBoost and I use it as a room refresher spray on soft surfaces, such as the couch; carpet; curtains; blankets; dog beds; and beds. It helps everything smell like heaven and not a a drop of this goodness is wasted!

Give it a try, you can thank me later.

It’s Not Just About Us…

Our habits (good or bad) can, and do, pass on to our children and our grandchildren.

What can we teach our next generation?

  • Get rid of toxins in the home (Change cleaning products to GREEN non toxic, non caustic products)
  • Take multivitamins and probiotics (yes, even our children need to take these. Our soil is nutritionally deficient)
  • Eat clean (Eliminate processed foods and minimize sugar)
  • Restrict social media (Studies show that social media adds to low self esteem and depression)

What can you do to help our next generation?
