Another wellness store tip…
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?
About that cholesterol…
Cholesterol is wrongly demonized. It is actually essential for life and health, that is why our body makes it. Cholesterol is a fat-like, waxy substance that helps your body make cell membranes, many hormones, and vitamin D. The cholesterol in your blood comes from two sources: the foods you eat and your liver. Sugars and carbs and insulin is what makes it a problem, not fats.

SOME “SECRET” TIPS FOR YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN!
I’ve been in the Wellness Industry for almost 20 years, but before that, I was in the Beauty Industry for 16 years. Believe it or not, the two industries are incredibly related! When you take the steps to living a healthy life every day, the results show on your skin.
Many women have the goal to look as young as they can for as long as they can, and while I always maintain that feeling and looking younger starts from the inside, we still need to take care of our skin on the outside. So many people want quick, easy answers to looking younger. Unfortunately, there is no “secret” or simple trick. But here are some simple steps to follow that can help you have younger looking skin!
AM Routine
- Cleanse. I use a Vitamin C Cleanser because that vitamin C and Citric Acid help with age spots, discoloration and dull skin (something that happens as we age.
- Tone. Toning is critical because all cleansers (even a bar of soap) changes your PH balance. Toners bring your skin back to its ph balance. I use one that I can spray on so it’s super easy and refreshing.
- Serum. Serums can do a variety of things: refine skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost moisture levels to plump aging skin. Personally I rotate a variety of serums to counteract the aging process.
- Moisturize. Don’t take this step for granted. Again, I rotate these but my favorite has prebiotics and probiotics to help to help fight free radicals that cause damage.
- Eye serum. The area around our eyes is very delicate. One of my favorite eye serums has Bakuchiol as one of the ingredients. Bakuchiol has been scientifically researched to significantly improve collagen production.
- Sunscreen. Sunscreen should be a SEPARATE STEP from skincare and kept out of your moisturizers and foundations. When manufacturers add sunscreen to those products, they have to remove certain ingredients that we NEED because these ingredients, when combined, cancel each other out.
PM Routine
Your PM routine is CRITICAL because that’s when your skin repairs itself. First, do NOT sleep in your makeup!.
- Cleanse. A foaming cleanser is a great product to use at night because the emollients will help to cut through the extra oil and makeup from the day!
- Tone. Toning is critical because all cleansers (even a bar of soap) changes your PH balance. Toners bring your skin back to its ph balance. I recommend using one that can be sprayed on so it’s super easy and refreshing.
- Serum. As stated before, serums can do refine skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost moisture levels to plump aging skin. It’s often a good idea to rotate a variety of serums to counteract the aging process.
- Moisturize. I can’t say enough about moisturizing your skin! It is fundamental. I recommend using a heavier moisturizer at night since the skin is at rest and can benefit from the extra attention.
- Eye cream. Since the skin around the eyes is probably the thinnest skin on the body. It’s often a good idea to use an eye serum followed by a heavier eye cream at night.
Consistency is key in all things, and skin care is no different. But shop carefully. Department store brands charge so much more because of expensive packaging, advertising and endorsements. Those add-ons do not make your products work any better!
A quick comparison
Of laundry detergents.
First, let me mention the the only thing these two brands have in common is that they both wash the same number of loads.
96 loads — and that’s as far as it goes. The size difference is due to water. You’re paying for all the extra water in the package when you buy big name brands!
Not only that…
• The one on the left is powered with natural plant enzymes, is non-toxic and eco-friendly.
• The one on the right is filled with chemicals that can make you and your family sick.
• The one on the right costs 28 cents per load while the eco-friendly option is 19 cents per load! A difference of nine cents. Its may seem small potatoes, but just one load per week adds up. Besides, who really only does one load per week? My tiny package lasts me 11 months (I’m a one person plus chihuahua household) an average of two loads per week. An estimated savings of $187 on just detergent in 20 years. I think these products, detergent, fabric softener and brightener have helped my asthma over the years. With no formaldehyde or other harmful chemicals when compared to the brand-name laundry products I have been breathing easier for the past 20 years using Mela Power and companion products.
If you’ve thought about shopping for EcoSense solutions, but think that it somehow wouldn’t be worth it, or it would be too complicated, my advice is to just see for yourself!
I’m so confident… if you don’t love it, I’ll eat my socks!
