Getting Greener

Bob and I have always worked hard at recycling, using natural things when we can and conserving as much as possible. When we moved into our house we changed out all of the light bulbs to the ones that use less energy and "live" longer, switched to all low flow shower heads with filters on them to get rid of the chlorine, and of course recycling. Clearly there is more we are hoping to do but it will take a bit of time. But, since being sick I have had to eliminate as many chemicals as possible from our world. I've tried a few different cleaners and some are okay, but they all have a smell that gives me a headache. I know most people aren't as sensitive as I am but one thing that I'm learning is that "clean" isn't supposed to have a smell.

On Oprah's show last week...yes, I watch Oprah...she had a show giving a ton of great ideas for using earth-friendly products and much more healthy. I actually ordered one of the cleaning starter kids from a company she had on there and it came last week. I have to say I love all of the stuff I have tried so far. The great thing is that a little goes a long way with these products and so it is very financially-friendly. There is no smell to the cleaners and they do a great job. I haven't used the laundry detergent or the dishwasher detergent yet, but we'll be trying those out this week. Anyway, they still have the discount up that I got my stuff for and I feel like it was a great deal and I love it. So...here is the web site for you to take a look yourself. Just sharing the wealth :-).
