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
Thank you

11/03/2013

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

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

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
