Laundry Pills





12/07/2013

I think I just found the top dog in Laundry Detergents.  This Laundry Detergent is Hypoallergenic , Unscented Antibacterial .  It cleans extremely well and for an all natural Laundry Detergent is is cost effective.  This Laundry Detergent is not your usual Laundry Detergent it comes in a capsule.
You would use 2 capsules for a small load
                       3 capsules for a medium - large load of clothes
                       4 capsules for a large to extra large load of clothes.
This Laundry detergent also has a built in fabric softener in it.
I Love Love this Laundry Detergent
This Laundry Detergent can be found on the website www.shecology.com and you will want to look for the Laundry Pills.  You get 100 Laundry Pills for 10.00 plus shipping.  When you  want to reorder it again you  would save the jar that it came in and order the Laundry Pill Reorder bag.  Once you get it in the mail you would just open it and put it in the jar.  The reorder bag is even less money it  is 8.00 plus 1.00 shipping.
Mary  Fox the owner of the company has Goat Milk Soaps all natural Micro fiber cloths for cleaning.
and if you  love Soap Nuts like I do she also has them.
You  have to try this out you will not be sorry just go to her website www.shecology.com and order some of her great products particularly her Laundry Pills

Thank you

Soapnuts


12/03/2013



I did a post about a year ago on Soap nuts
I thought I would write about it again , I thought maybe not everyone saw the posting .
Soap nuts are really a type of  berry in India.  In India they use Soap nuts to do their laundry and to bathe.  Soap nuts  look like an Acorn. When they are boiled they release suds.  This is not like a rich shampoo type of suds this is a very mild type of low sudsing action  but it does the job. They can be used for all types of things in your house hold.  They can be used for doing your laundry by putting about 5 Soap nuts in a small sock or canvas draw string bag, pop this into your washing machine and that is it.  You can reuse the bag about 4 more times to do your wash.  These Soap nuts are so economical.  You can also use them to make a shampoo.  All you would do is once again when you take the canvas bag or sock out of the washing machine  place it into a sauce pan and fill it with hot water.  Place this on the stove and let it boil for about a half of an hour.  Take it off the stove and let it cool down.  Once it has cooled down take the canvas or sock out of the water.  Now what I usually do is get an empty hand soap container that has been well rinsed  and then I put the water from the soap nuts into the bottle.  This is now my shampoo.  You can use it as is or you can make up your own concoctions.  I have dry hair so what I usually do is put it about three quarters the way up the bottle then add to it  a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of olive oil and if I feel like a fragrance then I pick out an essential oil and put about 15 drops in and that is my shampoo.  You  can make house hold cleaners with soap nuts.  Where I usually buy my Soap nuts is from a website called Laundry tree www.laundrytree.com  I like the way she sells the Soap nuts.  She has starter kits that are 14.95   They come with a choice of an  essential oil .  So you get the Soap nuts and a essential oil to make your  own  home made laundry cleaner shampoo or house hold cleaner .  You can even make your very own pest controller with them.    If you  put in your search engine all  the uses for Soap nuts you can see all the things you can make to make your household more economical using Soap nuts and more safer to the environment  It is like having one item to make almost everything you will need or want with having all natural products in your household

EO EVERYONE SOAP FOR EVERYONE AND EVERY BODY BY EO PRODUCTS





11/03/2013

Everyone  Soap  for everyone and every body  is a Shampoo , Body Wash and Bubble Bath
It is from a company called EO Products.  
This product and most of all the EO Produts are gluten free
I love this product I use it for everything,I use t for bathing , cleaning the house and even I use it for doing the laundry and of course washing my hair. 
.  . 
They do have a product for laundry and doing  the floors that is the EO All Purpose Soap
The EO all Purpose Soap is fantastic  to do laundry,  wash your dishes, your floors,  and also your furry friends. .
  
I love that the  products are all  natural and they have great scents like Citrus / Mint ,   Lavender ,  and they do have and unscened one.  The cost for the Everyone Soap for everyone and every body is at  some of the Giant Food Stoes in their Organic Aisle it  is $ 9.99 for 32oz.  This is a  fantasic price for such a great product and the amount you get for it.  They aso have other locations in the area that carry thee products. Most Target  stores carry these products too.   

The Evryone Soap for everyone and every body is an all natural plant based soap made with pure essential oils.
One of the main reasons whyI love  this  product and all of these  EO  products is that they are just simple all natural products that work  They put right on their bottles that they are Gluten Free
They are also extremely moisturizing.  When I  use the Everyone Soap for everyone and every body after showering I do not have  to use a moisturizer after I get  out of the shower

When I get out of the shower before using this product I would have to slather a lot of moistuizer on but with this product  I don't  have to do that, my skin just feels soft and feels great without having to put anything extra onto my skin

The website for all the great Eo Produts is www.eoproducts.com

I hope you will try out these products and see how well they will work for you

ATLAST FLY SPRAY

10/01/2013

Hello All:

I know I do a lot of blogs on natural skin care and today I  am doing the same but for our furry friends for Flea and Tick control plus to help out with itchy skin for dogs. 
I was looking for a product for my dogs for flea and tick control plus skin issues that was all natural.
I strive to find natural products for myself for skin care and I just thought I  need to do  the same for my animals.  There are a lot of natural products for pets but it is hard to find one that does basically everything I  want it to do such as help with my dog's skin keep fleas and ticks away and does not smell like a chemistry lab.and is safe for my animals
I found that product with Atlast Fly Spray which is a deterent for flies  but for dogs it acts as a flea and tick deterent and killer. 
My dog has a lot of skin issues she scratches all the time and her hair has begun to fall out.  I received the Atlast Fly Spray as a sample to try out.  I sprayed it on my dog and instantly she stopped scratching.  Her hair now is begining to come back in now and of course no more fleas or ticks yeah ! . 
The scent to the Atlast Fly Spray to me is very pleasant it does smell like Cedar and it looks like milk.  It is all natural which I love and the best part is it works
The website is www.atlastflyspray.com
On the left  side of the page you will see that is helps out for the control of flies, fleas ticks for dogs horses and is a natural pest control plus it helps with skin issues to soothe and clear any skin issues that your dog might have of course you should not spray it on his or her face but everyting else is fine. 
I do have one dog that does not like to have the spray sprayed on him, he is my demented one so with him I always need a bit more care with everything I do.  For him I shake the bottle spray a little on my hands and then put it through my dog's fur.  He then is a happy camper and once again no fleas.  I also shake the bottle and spray it on my dog's little beds plus our couches but of course always spray a little in an in a spot where no one will see just to  make sure it does not change any colors to your couches.  For me this has not happened I just want to put it our there just in case. 
All I can say is I  love this product.  They also say that if you do use Frontline or any one of those types of products and you are still having issues with fleas and ticks you can get this spray and spray it  on your animals for extra protection without harming them with putting more of the Frontoine type products on your animals.
It is just nice to find a product that works and is safe for my animals
It does not say anything on their website or on the bottle but I  have noticed since I started using this product no more spiders which I am quite happy with.  I hate with a passion spiders and of course fleas and ticks

Thank you

BADGERBALM SKINCARE PRODUCTS

09/02/2013

Greetings

                                                                Happy Labor Day

I hope you have had a great time this weekend  being it the last weekend of the summer before the kids go back to school.  I  found another website for skin care products that I felt really halped my skin out with all its sensitivities. 
The company is BadgerBalm and the website is www.badgerbalm.com
They have baby skin care products insect repellent products; moisturizers,  hair oils to keep hair well moisturized and well conditioned. What I like best with this company is that they really do have a lot of different products but my favorites are the Baby Soap and the the different balms they have to keep you in good health.  They have a headache Balm, this one I  have not tried yet but if it is anything like their other balms I will be a very hapy camper.  I can not wait to try this one  because being a Type 1 Diabetic and using the Dexcom System for a continuous blood glucose System  I can not use Tylenol Products as a side effect if you use tylenol Products with a Dexcom System it will give you high blood sugars. Then with the Celiac Disease it is hard to find product that are  gluten free be it Aspirin or I buprofen .  When I do get the Headache Balm I will do a review on this and let you know .  I just tried the Headache Soother Balm.  It is fantastic.  I had a whopper Headache the other day took a little bit out placed it on my far head and in aboout a half of an hour no more headache.  I gave some also to my husband he is not one of those people like me that belief in doing things naturally.  I wanted him to try it because with his medications i did not want him to have anything else.  He was very reluctant to try it when he did he was pleasantly surprised and thanked me.       The ones I tried is the Cheerful Mind Balm which smells fantastic.  It is in a tin filled with like a moisturizing pudding in it that you take a tiny little  bit out and rub it onto  your wrist.  I guess you could call this a Cheerful Mind Homeopathic Balm.  It does work to help change your mind into a more pleasant mood and make you feel more upbeat.  I love the scent of it.  They also have a Stress Soothing Balm and once again smells fantastic and helps to relieve stress.  Right now I am under a lot of stress and are down a lot on account of my husband's health .  These products are not a cure all  but they do help me to feel better and to cope better. They just make me breathe better and help  me to regulate my breathing better   so then I can manage the stressers that come  in life and deal with what I have to accomplish what I need to  for the day. 
They also have a Sleep Balm that once again smells great and relaxes you to appoint of just saying ok I  am done for  the day I hear my covers calling me. Once again it is not going to be like a sleeping pill that you take it and instantly you are knocked out.  It is more calming and just kind of gently winds you down with the scent of the balm.   I love each of these different  balms each scent of each  nurturing Balm on your skin is heavenly.. The best part about these balms is that you could use  them as a perfume, they are not over powering.  They do last fairly long and you only need a small amount to have them work
Everyone can use these Balms young middle age or on the older side.  They just make you feel well rounded and complete. 
The Badger Baby Soap is fantastic it is filled with a lot of moisturizers and makes your skin feel dreamy.  I am a big fan of this company.
I hope you will think about purchasing  these great products and see how great they are for you

Thank you

CHARITY CANDLES FOR CELIAC DISEASE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

08/31/2013

I just started working for a candle company located in Pennsylvania. 
I love the scent of candles of course they have  to be all natural along with it  These candles are all natural and soot free and smell like a breath of fresh air.  . 

When I went onto my new website which is www.ellen.scent-team.com I was excited
The candles looked great.  I also saw that along with there numerous great smelling candles they had about 9 different charity candles this means that when you purchase a charity candle of  a particular organization $3.00 goes from that sale to that particular organization.

I thought I  wonder if they could have a candle for Celiac Awareness  to help out with research and also to help out with the cost for new Celiacs to know how to handle this new challenge with finding out that they have Celiac Disease.  This  will also help out with getting the  informaiton they need to know how to control Celiac Disease and live with Celiac Disease.  . 

I called up the owner and asked if they could have a Celiac Awareness Candle.  At first he was not on board until I pointed out that I am the President of the Greater Philadelphia Celiac Support Group. I said to him I have a lot of members and I know they will love this and love your candles.  I told him  this is a win win situation for the both of us.  After talking with him a few more times and also talking with the National foundation for Celiac Awareness.   He then said ok but you are going to need help with this it is a lot of work to get this going. 

I called The Natioanl Foundation For Celiac Awareness in Ambler Pa .  I explained everything to them and brought them on board    with the owner of Miabella Candles. 

This week the candle came out it is beautiful, it has the scent of Hot Baked Apple Pie and of course it is gluten free.  Sorry could not resist that. Once again when someone purcahses this candle $3.00 will go to the National foundation for Celiac Awareness. 
I hope you will think about purchasing one of these candles to help out other Celiacs with the information they need to get started living with Celiac Disease in the long run it will help out all of us with this disease.  . 

My website once again is www.ellen.scent-team.com and when you go onto my website  you will look in the middle of the page for Charity Candles hit that and the National Foundation For Celiac Awarness should be the  2nd or third one down on the page. 

Thank you
