Do you use Febreze?

Did you know that Febreze could literally be one of the most dangerous products in your home?

Just because you or your family members haven’t had an outward reaction like the ones in the photos, it doesn’t mean the product isn’t causing harm to you or your loved ones 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 single 𝙙𝙖𝙮.

Did you know that there are 80 toxic chemicals found in Febreze? I didn’t.

What you need to understand that the product does not remove odor molecules; your nose just can’t perceive them over the chemical product’s smell—that supposedly “freshens” the air in your home. That alone should be your first warning. Who wants to be inhaling chemicals and lung irritants??

Here are just a few of the toxins you’ll find in Febreze.

BHT – Known as a neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor. Can cause immunotoxicity, non-reproductive organ system toxicity, skin eye and lung irritator

Acetaldehyde – Known to cause cancer, toxic to reproduction and development, immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin, skin, eye and lung irritator.

Propylene Glycol – Causes cancer, allergies, and is toxic to the immune system,

1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol – Carcinogenic (causes cancer)

Limonene – An Allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eye and lung irritator

Methyl pyrrolidone – Toxic to reproduction and development. An allergen and immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin and skin, eye and lung irritator

Butylphenyl methylpropion al – Another allergen, immunotoxin and and skin, eye and lung irritator

Ethyl acetate – Linked to developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, and organic system toxicity. It also is a skin, eye and lung irritator

Geraniol – Linked to allergies, immunotoxicity, organic system toxicity. It is also responsible for skin, eye and lung irritation

Linalool – A known allergen, immunotoxin, and and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Benzaldehyde – A neurotoxin. Also is a skin, eye and lung irritator

Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether – Can cause non-reproductive organ system toxicity

Ethylhezanol – This is a developmental and reproductive toxin as well as askin, eye and lung irritator

Hexyl cinnamal – A known allergen, immunotoxin, and and skin, eyes and lung irritator.

There are many more ingredients on the label, but by know you have to agree the product can damage your and your family’s health. I’m just here to remind you that there are 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 for your 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬. I use them every day.

I love where i shop and have for the past 20-plus years. Let me know if you’s like to join me on this healthy path.

MISSION IN MOTION!

Y’all! In the 20.5 years I’ve been with my company there is not ONE natural disaster on US soil that they haven’t RUN INTO with boots on the ground helping where the community needs it most. When Hurricanes Ian and Nichole hit our area, they sent a plane full of volunteer firemen from Idaho with chainsaws & generators. Then they filled the local food distribution sites with hydration drinks and protein bars. Tens of thousands of dollars poured into our community. Every hurricane, every flood, every fire, every tornado, every single event, They show up.

Now…Texas communities are receiving supplies…from hand sanitizer, non-toxic mold removal cleaner, protein bars, personal care items….whatever the community needs, they are there.

It is the one foundation/non profit that I donate generously to every single month because I know that 100% of the money is going to the cause…not to run it. I am so proud to be part of a company who lives out our mission statement in ALL that we do!

II don’t normally address rumors, but this one? It’s too important for me to ignore. Millions benefit from this store and the misinformation needs to stop.

Sidenote: I hear about this very little these days but even a couple of rumors over the course of 20 years is enough for me to say something. And I also want to add that I don’t condone how some people may go about sharing this store. A good tip for anybody that wants to share something they love: Be a good friend and share genuinely and authentically! But like anything else, a bad experience with a person can ruin something that’s actually really great and that sucks!

“𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙.”
Let’s be real, I love my nontoxic cleaners, but I also get Botox. I buy organic, then hit a drive-thru to avoid cooking. To those folks managing a fully nontoxic lifestyle—you never ever even have a goldfish cracker ever? I admire you! Most of us are just doing our best, and I’ll never shame anyone for choosing convenience in one area just because it’s not my area.
That said, every now and then, someone will send me an oudated article from 2013 or a random mom group post bashing the store I love. Sad fact: I don’t even share my eczema solution in those groups anymore because some people are just brutal. 
Or my favorite…people trusting the EWG app, which literally gives better ratings to companies that pay them.

“𝘽𝙪𝙩 t𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙨!”
My response? “What’s your concern with fragrances?”
Because here’s the thing, the real issue is phthalates, and these products contain zero. Also zero parabens, zero formaldehyde, zero bleach, zero ammonia, zero harmful dyes. The ingredient philosophy is public. Anyone willing to read it would know the facts.

𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙁𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙎:
• A friend’s son’s severe allergies improved so much he got off meds.
• I, who am allergic to almost everything, have zero issues with these products.
• My eczema? Gone.
•  My skin? One of my most-complimented features, thanks to these products that start working from within. Gut health is important!
• These product are not just safe, they’re effective, affordable, American-made from a patriot-owned store and arrive at my door within a couple of days! 

A store that’s been around for 40 years with a 96% customer retention rate and an A+ BBB rating doesn’t get there by selling garbage.

𝘽𝙊𝙏𝙏𝙊𝙈 𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙀:
You have every right to dislike something. But regurgitating false rumors about a store that’s been a lifeline for so many? Nope, not a good idea..

 Real data & research below:

Making the safe choice, comes easy when you know

Ever feel like choosing safer products for your home and family automatically means spending more?
Let’s take a moment to clear that up that idea. You know, at first, I thought going the safer route would cost a fortune. But once I compared prices, I was pretty shocked.

Doe example, take a look at some current Walmart prices vs. my Online Wellness Store:

WalmartOnline Wellness Store
Native deodorant – $12.97Wellness Store – $5.49
Lume deodorant – $14.97Wellness Store – $5.49
Windex – $3.48 (1 bottle)Wellness Store Clear Power – $6.99 (6 bottles)
Downy Scent boosters – $15.97 (24oz)Wellness Store Boost! – $11.99 (32oz)
409 Cleaner – $3.54 (1 bottle)Wellness Store Tough ‘n Tender – $6.99
(6 bottles)
Gatorade – $7.88 (8 bottles)Wellness Store Sustain – $12.49 (20 bottles)
Dreft – $19.94 (80 loads)Wellness Store Melapower – $19.49 (96 loads)
Claritin – $19.77 (30 tablets)Wellness Store CounterACT – $12.29 (30 tablets)

That’s just a small sample of what’s available at my online store. It’s not just cleaner and safer—it’s honestly more affordable—and the convenience? Ships right to my door (usually faster than Prime!) Plus, they’re always throwing in free gifts just for shopping.

I like to say I’m Shopping better while saving money

And you thought you were doing your body a favor by switching from Coke to Diet Coke?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Think again.

It’s been said that a coke (or diet coke) is so caustic that it can clean the corrosion of your car battery. You want that in your gut?

https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/experts-say-quitting-diet-coke-can-improve-heart-health-gut-balance?fbclid=IwY2xjawK1G8hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFCalZBRFhjWjZKdnpYcTRXAR6ow6IKtXdH1cRYfxKLqNe_Qjyl3uLLGuPKFnJTu_pkmf7R7ZVgg_s9QcdYuQ_aem_tNlx2yhfDSupYnS39eU4nQ

Can you even believe it?

When your family sized load of laundry calls for less laundry detergent than your cookie recipe calls for vanilla…you know you’re going to be saving money. To be exact, this load takes two teaspoons of detergent per large load. My cookie recipe calls for two and one half teaspoons per batch.

It’s certainly a small amount of detergent, yet my clothes and linens always come out super clean.

Why should I pay for water-filled detergents when the machine adds water already? And, why should you?

We love babies

I just received a panicked phone call from a new dad and Wellness Store shopper because the lid to the Koala Pals Baby Bathcame off while bathing his daughter and it got on her face, in her eyes and she may have ingested some.

I promptly told him to call poison control.

Poison control looked up the product and said “She’s fine with that product.”

Yep! they mean it when they safer for your home…little baby was soapy, but safe.

No lawsuits or recalls or babies poisoned This isn’t because kids don’t get into the products or because accidents don’t happen, but because these products are SAFE!

I like to say I only use the best! This baby wash comes from the same online Wellness store where I buy all of my household products and my beef. When you know better, you do better for your family.

Laundry factoid

Did you know that 90% of the energy used for a load of laundry comes from heating the water? Not washing the laundry—heating the water!
Luckily for me, my favorite non-toxic laundry detergent is designed to work in any water temperature, so ! can wash my things in cold tap water and save around $22 to $25 per month on my electric bill. Not to mention my non-toxic detergent is also a lot less expensive than Tide, and you only need a small amount per load.
Like I always say, some swaps just make life easier—better for your home, your wallet, and the planet!

Happy Monday!

I want to share with you what I bought on my last Wellness Store virtual shopping trip.

The brand NEW products that I’m excited to try are…
* Cookies & Cream protein (30g/svg)
* PhloraV probiotic for vaginal health
* VigorFt for men (women too if they need a boost in testosterone) but for men, a “Booster for your Rooster”
* Cinnamon flouride-free tooth polish

ProflexCookies and Cream
Vigor FT & Phlora V
ProstAvan
Sustain Frosted Lime

This morning I made a Proffee when I woke up. I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for them lately. I made it using fresh ground French-pressed Mountain Cabin Organic Breakfast Blend coffee, new Collagen Boost with Ceramides (10g protein) and a scoop of Vanilla Proflex Pro (15g protein) so I got a good hit of protein right when I woke up to help me meet my protein goals today. I have been working on getting 120-140g of protein each day while I follow the R3 Weightloss Plan to start burning off the remaining fat this summer.

I have been shopping at this Wellness Store now for 20 years and it’s been such a blessing! I am thankful that they keep coming out with new products! They’re safe for my family and forty precious pup too! No toxic chemical residue on the floors from the floor cleaners I buy here, so no worries for him.

I love sharing this store with friends and family knowing it’ll help improve their overall health, save them time and money shopping at big box stores and maybe even improve their financial health if they decide to refer their friends and family. I get a thank you check every month for referring others. This is like a healthy version of Costco with Target vibes and Amazon Prime shipping.

Have I told you about the steaks! OMG deliciousness! They are the best, American ranch raised with no antibiotics!

The SeiBella Skin Care and Haircare is AMAZING and it’s European quality…meaning no toxic chemicals will get into your bloodstream and wreak havoc on your endocrine system.

I am happy to meet with you and share it with you too!

Safer for you and your toilet

Do you know what’s not on the label of the toilet bowl cleaner I use?

• No warnings about eye damage.

• No instructions to rinse skin for 20 minutes after contact.

• No panic over poison control calls.

• No harsh ventilation requirements.

• No danger or rushed trip to the doctor if someone accidentally ingests it.

All because it’s made without the toxic stuff that cleans but can damage our lungs, organs and skin. Why, it doesn’t even need a child-safety cap!

I use this brand because cleaning your toilet shouldn’t require a hazmat suit.
