I loved those great smelling detergents

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

In fact, I was a Downy Unstoppables lover. I had no idea there were a variety of toxins and endocrine disrupters in those products.. Really, I had zero clue—I just loved the “smell-good” stuff.

We stopped using Dreft because we discovered that just because there is a baby on the label does NOT make it safe for babies (or for anyone else of that mater) and stopped the Unstoppables to switch to this Ecosense brand almost years ago. I’ve never purchased any other brand laundry product since.

The reasons are simple. First, there is the safe-scent policy — I get great “smell-good” stuff without the toxins. This super-concentrated laundry detergent easily lifts stains and smells amazing. It uses safer ingredients (No chlorine bleach; No parabens; No phthalates; No formaldehyde; No bleach, No ammonia; No tricolsan; and No phosphates), reduces plastic waste and is more affordable per wash. Just one pump or 10 mL (that’s two teaspoons!) is all you need to clean a full load of laundry, and these products have s and NO recalls or lawsuits on any ingredients in any product throughout the whole store.

That’s unheard of today. Plus, the cost is lower— one small 32 oz. bottle is enough to wash 96 loads.
Can’t beat that!

Love this new Harvest Pure.

When you buy fresh produce, how do you wash it? Many of the pre-packaged fresh vegetables are labeled that they have been washed, That includes the re-cut vegetables too.
Well, I tried this new product, Harvest Pure to clean my lettuce before making my salad. My lettuce was labeled that it had been washed. Well, here’s the result of washing my lettuce with Harvest Pure—this is the dirt residue.
When you know, you know.

“Most store-bought coffee contains mycotoxins—toxic compounds produced by certain molds that grow on coffee beans during harvesting, chemical processing, and storage. As of 2025, many big-name coffee brands don’t publicly disclose whether they test for mycotoxins. Hmm… weird! I wonder why?
So instead, I found a USA-based brand that actually tests for mycotoxins—and you better believe their coffee is 100% MYCOTOXIN-FREE! Plus, [being a USA company is] local enough for me.“

One whole bag of this goodness is just $11.49—100% worth it!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition characterized by extreme tiredness or fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep. It can often be misdiagnosed as depression which leads to improper prescribed anti-depressants.

Who is at risk for Chronic Fatigue? The top seven risk factors for chronic fatigue syndrome are:

  1. Women between the ages of 30 and 50.
  2. Being overweight
  3. Being inactive
  4. Having allergies
  5. Depression
  6. A stressful life
  7. Exposure to toxins

Technically, there is no cure, but there are steps you can take to address it. First, however, you have to know the root causes of CFS.

Root Causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Here are some common culprits of CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome):

  • Viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections
  • Epstein-Barr virus
  • Heavy metal, toxic chemicals or mold 
  • Unhealthy digestive system and gut microbiome
  • Thyroid issues
  • Immune conditions
  • Adrenal exhaustion 
  • Hormonal Imbalances
  • Inflammation 
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Nutritional deficiencies 
  • Hypertension 
  • Mental stress

Pretty big list, right? So it’s important to not “self diagnose” an issues that’s not there. 
If you do have a proper diagnosis, here’s a few steps you can take to feel better:

  1. Eat a well balanced diet
  2. Consult about proper supplementation. Chances are you are deficient in more than one area
  3. Exercise within your limits
  4. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day

As always, I’m here to help in any way I can!

D you use supplements?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Many people buy supplements from Amazon or local drug stores without knowing where they come from, how they’re made, or if they even absorb properly! Quality and absorption are key to whether your supplements actually work as intended.

Here’s my story with Peak Performance supplements: I have an autoimmune disease, lung issues, and blood sugar concerns. But I no rarely take any pharmaceutical products! I made the right lifestyle changes and now use supplements that are clinically tested with advanced absorption technology.

Guess what? I put them to the test—when I stopped taking them for a few weeks, my symptoms started to return in full force.

Now, I only get my supplements directly from the manufacturer—fresh, high-quality, and at an affordable price. What could be better than that?

My world just got clearer!

• Glass stove top.

What will you use it on?

I’m upping my protein intake

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I’m adding a little over 40 g for breakfast using Strawberry ProFlex Pro and the Collagen Boost. I’m aiming for 140 g of protein, a day! I know this is a great way to start my day while giving me a great start on my daily Protein consumption.

I buy the two products at the Wellness Store—yep, my Online Shopping Club, the same store where I buy my cleaning, laundry, skin care, hair care makeup, toothpaste and more. They manufacture all of our daily household essentials! No harmful chemicals! I love that this company doesn’t have a big storage warehouse or things are sitting on shelves for months and years. It’s fresh and shipped to my door straight from them within three days of placing my order!

Omega 6 vs Omega 3

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Both are important! But getting too much of one can be harmful to your health.

Omega-6 fatty acids are essential for human health and have many benefits, including: 

  • Heart health: Omega-6s can help lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. 
  • Brain function: Omega-6s play a crucial role in brain function, along with omega-3 fatty acids. 
  • Growth and development: Omega-6s are necessary for normal growth and development. 
  • Bone health: Omega-6s help maintain bone health. 
  • Metabolism: Omega-6s help regulate metabolism. 
  • Reproductive system: Omega-6s help maintain the reproductive system. 
  • Insulin sensitivity: Omega-6s help improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which can help keep blood sugar in check.

Here’s the problem:

Omega 6’s can promote inflammation and the typical American diet contains 14 to 25 times more omega-6s than omega-3s, which reduce inflammation. So that’s why the balance of these two superstars is very important!

We should strive for a 1:3 ratio of Omega 6 vs Omega 3, meaning we should have 3 grams of Omega 3 for every gram of Omega 6.

You cannot have too much Omega 3’s!

Does Coffee Improve Your Gut Health?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

The simple answer is: Yes! 

There is a direct relationship between coffee and our gut microbiome. Research shows that coffee may signficiantly increase the level of a particular good type of bacteria (or flora) called Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus. In fact, in 2021, researchers found that out of more than 150 foods studied, coffee showed the strongest link to gut microbiome composition. So this is a good thing.

But how much should you drink?
In the studies I read, “moderate” consumption is the ideal. Guess how much that is: Four – Five cups/day!

So depending on your sensitivity to caffeine… drink up! Actually, coffee has been linked to “lower risk of all cause mortality.” That does not make it a “super food”, but it does make for a strong argument!

Harvest the Best, Wash Away the Rest! 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

While modern farming has made it possible to enjoy your favorite fruits and vegetables nearly any time you want them, there are some drawbacks. At the end of its journey to your table your produce can still have pesticide residue, dirt, and other contaminants that can increase the risk of foodborne illnesses.  

Luckily, there’s new EcoSense®Harvest Pure Fruit and Vegetable Wash! 

A powerful combination of food-safe ingredients, Harvest Pure Fruit and Vegetable Wash washes away pesticide residues, dirt, grime, and more from fresh fruits and vegetables, so all you’re left with is their delicious flavor. In fact, when used as directed, Harvest Pure Fruit and Vegetable Wash removes more than twice as much pesticide residue as rinsing with water alone! This formula is not only effective at cleaning but also gentle and rinses off easily—leaving the nutrient-dense peels of produce intact with no unpleasant aftertaste. 

I LOVE this product!
