Cleaning party

Last night I went to an Essential Oil party and learned how to clean my house with non-toxic chemicals.

I have to admit that I am sold on the idea. I started cleaning my toilets this morning with baking soda and vinegar and it worked splendid. I used their sample of laundry detergent and loved it.

I am hoping that getting rid of the harmful chemicals will maybe help with my headaches that I have. (3-4 times a week) I always thought it was my thorn that I just needed to deal with, but maybe this will help. I know it will help Lydia's eczema.

At first glance it can look expensive to start, but I look at it as 1 doctor visit and I have it paid for. (You pay a lot out of pocket when you own your own business...there is no such thing as $10 co-pay for a quick visit.)

I will let you know how things work next week. I also learned of a great store that I need to stop at on my way to the cities - Trader Joe's. It has been recommended now 3 times in the past week. (Natural foods, soaps, and all sorts of random stuff.)

yes yes yes...on the Trader Joe's thing- in Maple Grove. It is comparative to "Full Circle" at Cash Wise and Coborns- on pricing- but more variety and fresh fruits and veggies.

Older generations used baking powder and vinegar for EVERYTHING! We have been sucked into commercialism even for our cleaning supplies!

You should do a longer post on natural cleaning products! I'd be interested :)
