Did you know toxins can be found in many brand name Fabric Softeners:?
It’s true. I was surprised when I found out that one potentially carcinogenic chemicals could be in my laundry.
Clothing and blankets that touch our skin and who doesn’t inhale that fresh clean fabric scent?
Her’s a list of chemicals that can be found in Snuggles brand fabric softener:

• Alpha-Terpineol – Linked to disorders of the brain and nervous system, loss of muscle control, depression, and headaches

• Benzyl alcohol – Linked to headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, depression, and disorders of the brain and nervous system.
• Chloroform- Listed on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list as a carcinogen and neurotoxin (toxic to the brain and nervous system)

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years

You know twenty years ago, I ordered some laundry soap and house cleaners because I was tired of all the nasty smelly products I got from the grocery store. I was tired of having the toxin- filled products I had then. In fact, most of us still have those very same product in our homes today..

My house has been 100% converted for years and we’ve seen major change in my allergies and asthma. For me it’s been a win-win.

This month I woke up to some really great things our company is doing for the little guy. The everyday mom and dad who want more for their babies. The person who knows there is something out there that can help them….yet not knowing what it truly is. This is it.

Sharing wellness means WE ALL win. We all wash our hair, brush our teeth, eat popcorn, use candles, take supplements, spray room spray and bathe regularly. This company offers it all. Plus grad A beef, too.

This is a company where all of us little guys are celebrated.

Connect the Dots

This post won’t make sense to some people. You just aren’t there. You haven’t connected the dots of weird illnesses to products you’re using in your home. I’ve been connecting the dots for many years and I can’t say enough about how changing to these products has changed my life!

Over the years, I spent more money than I care to admit on supplements that didn’t work, I was jconstantlly searching for that “new” product that would “do the job” I needed it to do at a fair price and not interfere with my allergy-laden self.. Needless to say, I will forever be grateful for my online Wellness shopping club and what it has done for me and for my friends and family!!

The best part is I never have to step foot in a big box store for everyday supplies. And there are a few other niceties about my shopping club that I love. For example, how many companies do you know have a 96% monthly reorder rate? None, other than this wonderful Wellness shopping club. How many companies that make the products you purchase are truly American? This one is. Everything is made right here in the good ol’ US of A.

Like Vanilla Ice said “if you have a problem you’ll solve it”

We don’t have many things we can control but we can control what we put in our homes and in our bodies! Think about it.

When you know better, you do better.

Learning about these products in 2004 really opened my eyes to the importance of ingredients. I discovered that some ingredients can cause cancer, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. That explained why I always had skin reactions and felt miserable after cleaning,

I can’t even imagine how much money I’ve saved by switching to non-toxic products that work even better than the toxic ones I used to use. These days, even if a company offered me free cases of Snuggle Softeners and Fabuloso, I wouldn’t use them.

An educated consumer makes better choices. When you know better, you do better.

It’s that time of year

Make sure you are building up your immune system and using products that don’t damage your lungs or give you other underlying conditions.

J like to use product that I feel are safe for me my home and my family.

These are a few favorite back-to-school essentials I recommend:

• Sol-U-Guard Botanical Wipes — This product kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on hard, nonporous surfaces. It replaces the more toxic Chlorox and Lysol brand wipes.

• Sol-U-Mel — Sol-U-Mel removes stains from items like Sharpie markers, juices, chocolate and wine. It’s great for cleaning white boards.

Both products are non-toxic and eco-friendly.

• Activate-C Immune Complex — Similar to Airborne and other Vitamin C powders but takes it a step further with 1200mg of Vitamin C! Most of the other brands show they contain only 1000mg. Activate-C also comes in orange and reminds me of my childhood favorite — Tang. This Activate Immune Complex boosts your body’s immune system naturally as well.

• Vitamin D3 — This vitamin supports a healthy immune system as well as bone health and overall mood.

• Luminex — A natural alternative, Luminex promotes emotional health, a balanced mood, and general well being..

• Mela-Out — containing magnesium, Mela-Out reduces stress, increases calmness and can help you sleep better.

I love that the products I buy from my Wellness store are made in the USA and shipped straight to my door in two to three days.

Love it!

Being Frugal

Who else here is frugal?

I sure am! I cut open bottles to get every last drop.

This lotion took me a year to use up because I bought two—one for upstairs and one for downstairs. It’s great for eczema and rosacea, but I just love that it keeps my hands soft even after washing, and it kills germs with just one application.

Clean savings!

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.
