{Earth Day 2015 & Get Clean}

  

With Earth Day coming up later this month, I was reflecting on some of the changes I've made in my home over the last few years, and how I might encourage others to make similar changes.  I realized it's been 3 years since a toxic, conventional, store-bought cleaner last entered our home, since we ditched the bleach and since we started using concentrated products that reduce waste.

Read on to see what I've been using, why I LOVE it and how you can take advantage of a great special!

So, are you making any changes for your family this year? 

One easy way to go green in your home is by switching brands!

                      

You can replace your current household cleaners for natural, non-toxic ones that work!

I have been using Shaklee's Get Clean Line for over 4 years and LOVE it!

The products are totally cost-effective, natural and they actually WORK!  

Here's a great example of how much money you can save:

I use Basic H on my floors and I am always impressed! (These aren't my floors, but I love these before and after photos!)

 

Shaklee carries an amazing kitchen line that gets the job done even without pre-rinsing!!

 

The Scour Off can do wonders on your oven (and showers...and stove tops..and MORE)!!

You can remove water spots.

 

You can even clean your coffee pot and/or teapot!

 

 




































Shaklee products can do just about anything!

 

 Hand rails get dirty....Basic H2 gets the clean! Here I sprayed them and took one swipe with a rag and look at that towel....Wesley loves helping mommy :)

 

 

I
 love that I can have my kids help since I know the products are safe!

                   

                               

For disinfecting, I only use Basic G!

 For disinfecting I only use Basic G.

 

Now is the time to throw out your toxic cleaning products and make the switch, if you've been holding off on doing that!

Here is what I am offering:  Buy a Get Clean Starter Kit between now and the end of April, and I'll send you a FREE Scour Off!  PLUS, right now, you can become a Shaklee member for FREE when you purchase the kit!  That saves you 15% right off the bat!

I truly believe EVERY home EVERYWHERE should have the Get Clean products under their sink.  They really are the best!

 

Make sure to add the Basic G {Germicide} and Basic G Bottle as well!  I mainly use those in the bathrooms.  I live with 3 boys. :)

Know someone getting married?  The kits make GREAT gifts!  

Now, if you've been eyeing Shaklee for a while and might be ready to do even more than be a consumer...I am looking for 3 people who are ready to earn extra income!  I've shared why I joined Shaklee previously, and it truly is one of the BEST decisions I've ever made.

Check out my friend Bonnie's video about why she joined Shaklee:

Isn't she amazing?  I am so blessed to know and "work" with Bonnie!  If you'd like more info on partnering with me, I'd love to talk to you!

What is your favorite thing about spring? My favorite thing about spring is being able to open all the windows and doors and let the sunshine and fresh air sweep through the house.

{10 Shaklee Products I am Thankful For in 2014}

So, let me start by saying I am so very thankful for all God's blessings in my life. He has been good to me and I have nothing to complain about. I have my little family of seven, five healthy children, a home, all provisions met, a job that I love, a husband to love, friends new and old, friends near and far, friends I've met and friends I have yet to meet and many pleasures of life that I can enjoy. Thank you Lord!!!


As the winter months approach and the weather gets colder, as moms, what is your #1 concern________________________?
For me, it is my family's immune systems!!! We all know that flu season/cold season can make us a little nervous about public places and our children playing with other children who have runny noses and coughs RIGHT!? School and daycare can be the breeding grounds for many viruses and sicknesses. The office might get germy and thick with coworkers coughing and sneezing...yuck. We don't want to be sick during Thanksgiving and Christmas....

SO LET'S BUILD OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS SO WE CAN ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS!!!!

#1 Vitalizer- The BEST Foundation

Vitalizer^TM is supplementation made simple. Our unique, clinically supported solution packs essential nutrition into a convenient, everyday, go-anywhere Vita-Strip^®. Designed to enhance absorption, Vitalizer provides vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega-3s, and healthy probiotics—all in one convenient Vitalizer Vita-Strip^®.
We all have different needs—and there’s a custom Vitalizer formulation just for yours.

I have taken supplements before and even eat fairly healthy, but it wasn't until I started taking Shaklee vitamins that I realized they actually work!!! Imagine vitamins that work! You can feel the difference. I'm not just saying that. These made all the difference in my last pregnancy. My 4th pregnancy was very hard. Lots of pain, sickness, tired, and insomnia!!! Pregnancy #5....whole different story! Practically Perfect in every way. Had it not been for the enormous belly and 2 arms and legs....I would have not know I was pregnant. Thank you Shaklee :)

#2 Vitalized Immunity- a must have during winter!!!

Vitalized Immunity is naturally sweetened with Monk Fruit, and contains as much vitamin-C as 16 oranges.

  needs to stay strong*
  
  
  My family, young and oldish, break these up to make them last longer. 1 Tablet is equivalent to 16 oranges, so I quarter them for my children and half them for the "oldish" people :)
  If one of us was to get sick then we would take the recommended amount.

#3 Vita-C- the whole family eats these yummy chewables.
Your body is capable of many things, but it can’t make vitamin C. Available in Sustained Release and Chewable formulas, Vitamin C has been shown to supports immune health and help maintain natural antioxidant defenses and cell integrity*.

I fell in love with Shaklee's Basic H2 a couple years ago. I had become friends with one of Shaklee's
amazing partners, Krysta, and began asking questions about weight loss products that Shaklee had to offer. I was overweight and having trouble losing, so I started searching. I saw that Shaklee had a neat looking weight loss program, but I put off ordering any weight loss products because of doubt, fear & discouragement. Krysta made sure to check in with me from time to time. She continued to encourage me and let me know that she was there if I needed her. (Isn’t she the best?!)
In October 2012 I began to go through something I have never gone through in my life......DEPRESSION. I could not function at all. I had constant dizzy spells, I was tired, I was weak, and so very sick. My family was suffering too. I could not homeschool my children, I didn't want to clean or cook, none of my duties as a wife and mother were getting done. I cried all the time, I was angry, I was bitter...and I had no idea why. This was the first time I had experienced this. I didn't know what to do.
One day Krysta sent me a "Cinch" (now Shaklee 180) energy tea packet. I thought, "This lady believes in this stuff so much that she trusts it to change my mind...." And guess what!? It worked! In January 2013 I finally made the decision to try Shaklee 180 and I am so glad I did! The very first week of my new journey was life changing! I followed the Shaklee 180 plan and my depression and ALL of my symptoms vanished in that first week! My husband was the first to notice.....here is what I wrote after 4 weeks of this wonderful "180 Turnaround"...
 
February 10, 2013- "For me....This Challenge has been about more than just losing weight. My husband will tell you, I was not happy at all. He recently was telling my friend, "Yeh, she was so bad off, she didn't get out of her pajamas all day. She is a different person now." To hear him say that, was the greatest thing I could have heard! I am a different person, I am myself again, full of energy! I overheard my husband tell someone on the phone, "I'm having a hard time keeping up with her. She's out working me."I'm excited and I'm reaching for my goal of losing 100 lbs! I have 84 lbs to go, and I'll be at the finish line with the rest of you! @ 28 days I'm down 17.2 lbs!!!"
 
I became a different person in just one week! I tell everyone I can about how Shaklee changed my life hoping that I can be an encouragement in helping others also.
 
I am now expecting baby #5 and Shaklee has been amazing once again. I have been using their products to stay healthy through this pregnancy and it has been, by far, my best pregnancy yet! With baby #4, I thought I would never be able to carry another baby. The pain and all the complications I had were too much to handle. BUT! I have felt so great, that if I didn't have this giant belly...I would not know I was even expecting! I feel that good!
 
I can tell you this...I believe in Shaklee so much, that it is the first place I run to and I will never go
anywhere else for my health and household needs.

So check out what Shaklee has to offer you! CLICK HERE you will be amazed and you will be hooked! :)

 

 

{More Shaklee Before and Afters}

As some of you know, I LOVE SHAKLEE! I especially love their cleaners. They last FOREVER! I made an order last week and decided to try "Scour Off". Boy, am I glad I did! 

I hate the smell of those oven cleaners. You know the kind that burn your nose and throat?! Well this product doesn't do that, but it does get rid of baked on junk in the oven! Look at these pics I took right after I received my order. I was so excited that I went to cleaning right away.

I am using a soft bristle tooth brush. 

Not a brillo pad!
