Cleaning Your Refrigerator Coils

Happy Tuesday!!

If you follow us on Facebook, you might have saw that we were painting our living room and kitchen. This was a impromptu weekend project! I love the way it looks now. I'll post some pictures for you soon!


While we were moving things around, I noticed the back of my fridge was GROSS! There was so much dust!






I vacuumed the covering and used my favorite natural all purpose cleaner. I let it dry thoroughly while we finished painting the kitchen and living room.
{Isn't my screwdriver too cute?!}



When I got the covering off, I discovered MORE DUST! I honestly didn't know the fridge coils got so dusty!




Gross!


Then I vacuumed all the dust off the coils. I eventually had to get out the thinnest hose attachment to get further in the back.

Here's the after!






The covering looks a lot better too.



I know it's not perfect but it's soo much better! My fridge started working better immediately and that makes me happy!! I'm adding this to my cleaning schedule to do every few months.


Do you clean your refrigerator coils on a regular basis? Can you tell a difference with the cooling of your fridge?

Thanks for stopping by!

Removing Water Rings!

Happy Friday!!

Do you have any big plans for the weekend? We are going fishing! I'll let you know how that goes! LOL


So, I was making our bed and guess what I found?

Water rings...on one of our brand. new. nightstands.

Really? Ugh.

(I was dusting the ceiling...that's why it looks so dusty!)


How cute it the bottle? :)



I sprayed the nightstand and scrubbed just a little to get the ring off.



There ya go...it's gone!

This stuff really never stops amazing me. I can't get over something so inexpensive can work so well!

I love Shaklee!!

I hope you enjoyed and have an awesome weekend!!

How I Naturally Clean My Dishwaher

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to share a quick post with you.


My dishwasher had some pretty bad stains on it from the detergent I was using. This was before I switched to an all natural dishwasher concentrate. Now I use Shaklee's dishwasher detergent. It's better for my family and it saves us money!!















I had some Scour Off on hand and knew this would get the stains off.



It's made from cherry pits and it smells sooo good!






It definitely got the stains off! I love this stuff soo much and use it for everything!









Do you get stains on your dishwasher from detergents?
How do you get them off?

Recipe Trial Tuesdays: Breakfast Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

Welcome to the very first Recipe Trial Tuesday!

Every Tuesday, I'll post a new recipe I have tried recently and tell you my verdict! :) (haha, get it?  ok...)
I love trying new recipes and seeing others opinions on them so I think this will be really fun!
Let me know if you have any good recipes you've tried lately! I'd love to try them out!

Here we go!


Today's is really simple!!



This is a really quick, healthy morning smoothie and it's GOOD!




Ingredients:

1/4 cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal (uncooked)
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup 1% milk (forgot to add to picture-oops!)
7 frozen strawberries
1/2 Tbsp Honey

**I also added a quality protein powder. This is really important for your morning nutrients!**

This is enough for 1 serving.



First, you'll grind the oatmeal alone until it's powder. This is really important to avoid a chunky smoothie. That just sounds gross!

Then, just add the remaining ingredients  and blend until smooth!






It's really that simple!














I was actually surprised how much I liked this since I'm not too crazy about Greek yogurt. I think the oatmeal and vanilla protein powder took away from the Greek yogurt taste for me. I'll definitely be keeping this recipe with me!

I am not sure where I got this recipe from, I've had it written down for a little while. If it's yours, please email me and I'll be glad to give credit where credit is due! :)


Hope you enjoyed!

What's your favorite smoothie?
Do you have smoothies for breakfast often?

1 Cent Washer Fluid!

Hey!

How was your weekend? I did my first Earth day booth Sunday! I'll have to show you some pictures later!!

I just wanted to share with you how to make your own washer fluid for CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!


All I use is water and my favorite cleaner- Basic H!






My windshield washer reservoir holds about a gallon of water.










All I did was put about 16 drops of Basic H in my gallon of water!
For windows and mirrors, all you need 1-2 drops per 16 oz
Since there's 128 oz in a gallon... 128/16=8*2=16 drops!




It cost less than 1 cent to make a GALLON of window/mirror cleaner!
You really can't beat that!



Then I just poured it in my washer fluid reservoir!




That's it! Easy as can be and I made it with products I already had!


Hope you enjoyed!!



Don't forget! Free membership with ANY purchase in April! Time is running out FAST! :)

How My Husband Became a Shaklee Believer!

Good morning! How was your weekend? Did you do anything special for Easter? I went to an Easter service with my mom.  Leroy had to work until 6 am Easter morning so we weren't really able to do much. I did make our first little Easter dinner! It was very much an amateur dinner...but it's the thought that counts, right!? :)



While I was on my way home from school last week, I got the cutest call from my husband! He was calling to tell me how AMAZED he was with Shaklee! We recently bought a used truck so he's been obsessed with constantly cleaning it. He even took pictures to show me the before and afters! He sounded so happy! Haha!

He washed his truck before and these were just some spots that needed a little extra attention.

All he used was Shaklee's Scour Off and the Super Microfiber Sponge.We seriously used Scour Off for so much stuff around the house!



Here's the before of the window button (I have no clue what the "real" name of this is!!)

After!


This is his passenger door. It had grime on it from being used constantly.


After:



This is his front bumper. It was stained with oxidation.








Rear view mirror






...and my favorite one...!!


He had paint splatters on the side of his truck









Here's a close up!






Leroy was so surprised that it got all the paint off but didn't damage his truck's paint job!



I really can't say enough about Shaklee's Scour Off! People think I'm crazy when I tell them something made from cherry pits works this well! That is, until they try it for themselves!



Don't forget....

I am now a Shaklee Distributor! :) Part 1

Hey guys! Aren't you glad it's Friday?! I know I am!!

I'm sure by now you've realized how much I LOVE Shaklee products! Especially the Scour Off! :)

I wanted to let you all know that I am now a Shaklee Gold Ambassador!! I am so excited about this because I seriously love this company's products AND mission!

I just want to let you in on what Shaklee is all about!!




The Shaklee Product Philosophy

For over 50 years, generations of families have counted on us to do what no other company can do quite like Shaklee—make products that are naturally safe AND proven effective.
Our mission at Shaklee is to provide a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone. We do it by making natural products that are so exceptional, you just have to tell your friends. Every product that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to improve health, work without compromise, and be gentle on the planet.
When you pick Shaklee, you will know three things to be true...


1. It is always safe.

We Guarentee Unconditional Safety:


We start with nature. Shaklee scientists search the world over to source the finest natural ingredients. Then we conduct over 350 tests on every single new ingredient for heavy metals, pesticides, or any of hundreds of other harmful contaminants. And we continue to conduct over 80,000 quality tests annually to guarantee the purity and safety of each and every product.
That’s why we are absolutely sure of this: Every Shaklee product is 100% safe to use. Guaranteed.

 
    Just Some of Shaklee's NO List:

2. It always works.

We Guarentee Utmost Effectiveness


Plenty of companies claim their products work. But at Shaklee, we have proof. You see it in the over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals, that prove the effectiveness of Shaklee products. You see it in the over $250 million invested in clinical testing, research, and development. And you see it in the 2007 Landmark Study conducted in collaboration with researchers from the U.C. Berkeley School of Public Health that showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than those who took other brands of multivitamins.
And the most enlightening proof of all is in the millions of real people who have lived healthier, more productive lives because of Shaklee. Before any Shaklee product reaches your hand, we’ve done the hard work to make sure it does what we say it does.

  • Over $250 million in clinical testing, research, and development
  • Over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals

  • 54 Olympic gold medals won by Shaklee powered world-class athletes
  • Shaklee powered athletes including the U.S. Ski and Snowboarding Team, pentathlete Eli Bremer, wakeboarder Darin Shapiro, water skier Michelle Simpson, swimmer Carly Piper, LPGA golfer Reilley Rankin, and softball player Jessica Mendoza rely on Shaklee nutritional products everyday for optimal performance.



3. And it is always green.

We lead the environmental movement by example

Dr. Forrest Shaklee founded our company on the principle of Living in Harmony with Nature®. That was over half a century ago, and we continue to lead by example. Through the sale of Shaklee Get Clean® Basic H2® in the last year alone, Shaklee has eliminated 2.7 billion bottles of conventional 26-ounce window cleaner—if placed end-to-end, these bottles would wrap around the earth more than 18 times!
From explorer Jacques Cousteau, to 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Wangari Maathai, Shaklee continues to join forces with people who care about the planet enough to create movements of change. In the last year alone, we have recycled over 1,000,000 pounds of cardboard, eliminated over 10,200,000 pounds of packaging waste, and eliminated over 23,000,000 pounds of greenhouse gases. That’s how committed we are to making truly sustainable natural products that respect the earth.

  • Shaklee becomes the first company in the world to be Climate Neutral™ certified to totally offset its greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment.
  • Shaklee has planted nearly 800,000 trees for its Million Trees. Million Dreams.™ campaign in partnership with The Green Belt Movement, founded by 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai.

How I Clean My Iron Naturally!

The other day while ironing, I noticed I hadn't cleaned my iron in quite some time!



I wasn't horrible but it needed a little clean up!




I grabbed Shaklee's Microfiber Sponge and Scour Off and went to work!




That's it! I literally scrubbed for 20 seconds and EVERYTHING came off! This stuff never ceases to amaze me! And it smells great!








 


Love it!!

Have a great week! :)
