Phosphates pose a threat to aquatic life and can end up in drinking-water reservoirs. In response to new laws, more and more makers of dishwasher detergents are reducing the amounts of phosphates in their products. But, according to a recent article published by The New York Times, "Cleaner for the Environment, Not for the Dishes," consumers claim their low-phosphate detergents aren't getting the job done.
Launched in 1991, Shaklee Basic-D was the first patented phosphate-free dishwashing cleanser. Today, our Shaklee Get Clean Dish Washer Automatic Powder Concentrate is a patented, high-performing, phosphate-free dishwasher cleanser. Its enzyme-activated formula removes tough stains without the need for prerinsing, leaving dishes sparkling clean. Shaklee Get Clean products do not contain phosphates—and never will.
Shouldn't everyone you know be using a phosphate-free dishwasher concentrate that leaves dishes sparkling clean?

I have been using these products for over 11 years and LOVE them!!!
I especially LOVE the dish detergent and liquid.
If I am washing a pot or pan, I seriously only use a couple of DROPS of liquid and it gets all the grease off!
And for my dishwasher, I use Shaklee’s detergent and I NEVER PRE-WASH/RINSE my dishes. NEVER! They come out CLEAN every time. I am so grateful for this because it saves me SOOOO much time!
According to this cost comparison sheet, it only costs 18.9 cents of Dish Wash Automatic Concentrate per load of dishes. CHEEP! Did you know that Cascade Complete costs 28.4 cents per load and Seventh Generation costs 40.4 cents per load?

We were busy this weekend!
We entertained some relatives, organized, took the kids finishing and cleaned out our garage.
Here are a couple of pictures of the kiddos fishing…they had a blast!
Now, here is what we did for fall cleaning.
We started out by taking pretty much EVERYTHING out of the garage.
Then we washed the garage floor. We normally use Basic H to clean it but this time we used Basic G because we found a lot of mouse poop….I know, totally gross! So that’s why we disinfected the WHOLE garage!
Then we put everything back where is goes.
Ahhh! It feels sooo good to have a CLEAN garage!
How is your fall cleaning going?
What did you clean this weekend?
I have taught my husband well! He was out on the golf course with a couple of buddies and spotted a rather interesting plant so he brought me home a seed pod for identification. Despite warnings he should not touch unknown plants just in case apparently this plant did not pose a warning for him. I now have to get him used to taking
I thought that I would quickly show you several ways to save water and save green!
We could always use another reminder. And I am pretty sure that we all LOVE saving $money$! Right?
Turn Off The Tap To Save Water
A few easy strategies. Old habits die hard, but learning to adjust your water use practices could have a decent impact on your overall water consumption. I've got a couple simple strategies that'll get you slowing the flow in no time.
•Water on, water off: Don't let the water run endlessly as you brush your teeth or wash your hands. Instead, turn the tap on "half-blast" to wet your toothbrush or hands, then turn the water off while you scrub your pearly-whites or lather your skin. Turn the tap back on only when you're ready to rinse—employ the half-blast method again.
•Cup-style conservation for shaving and brushing: When brushing your teeth or shaving, try using a cup. Simply fill an average glass with water (and shut the tap off when you're done). Dip your toothbrush or razor into the cup to wet it. Continue as usual, then use the cup-water to rinse.
•Face-washing eco-wise: Get your face clean without gallons of water by using a washcloth. Turn the tap on briefly to wet your hands as well as your facecloth and then shut the flow off again. Apply soap to your wet hands and scrub like normal. When you're ready to rinse, use your wet cloth to remove the soap, then give it a quick rinse under the tap.
•Cool down with a pitcher: If you're in need of a cold glass of water, don't run the tap until you get the desired temperature. Instead, plan ahead by filling a pitcher with water and putting it in the fridge. This way, you'll have cold water on demand without sending many, many gallons down the drain needlessly.
•Water warm-up savings: If you've got to wait several minutes before your shower or tap water warms up, consider using the warm-up water for other purposes by putting a bowl or pail under the faucet. You can water your plants, rinse recyclables, or feed your pets with this otherwise wasted H2O.
•Sensible shower use: If you've got a shut-off valve on your showerhead, use it to turn down or stop the water while you soap up, shave, or apply shampoo and conditioner.
I hope you found these tips as a helpful reminder!

I know organizing my spices was not on my “fall cleaning” list but I just got some new spice racks at a garage sale (a long with all my bins that I showed you) so I was excited to organize them too.
I started out my cleaning out my spice drawer and cabinet.
Then I added my spices back on my new spice rack. I love it!
I also found this rack and I totally love this one too! Now I can actually see everything.
I like to buy spices in bulk (way cheaper)! I make sure to get MSG free.
I store extra spices in sealed bags here.
This is how part of my cabinet looks.
I also keep all of these on my counter.
I am happy that they are organized now!

Apparently the oranges are so plentiful here that people put boxes of them to the road hoping someone will take them. Pictured is one of our neighbour's orange tree. They said to help ourselves when the fruit is ready for picking. We rented in the park our first trip here that was meant to purchase a house in the park that we had seen online. We decided against
It is designed around 'less is more'. Think of neutral color on wall, open airy windows, few but furniture with clean lines and fluidity in it. Borrow from nature and bring in plants and pebbles, natural form and sounds. Keep the whole concept soothing, away from too much of color or bling, and keep the energy flowing.
Check Zen designs for bedroom in my previous post.
Going with 'less is more', to design a room inspired by Zen, you might however like to keep only few quality furnishings, use simple and clean lines. Get the energy flowing, try to get close to nature and its forms. It will not just affect the space but also your lives.
