I have done a Shaklee giveaway twice before.  I am literally in love with Shaklee Get Clean products.  I could do an infomercial for them…for reals!

Bonnie of Donahue Wellness contacted me in May to try the products out and since then I have used nothing but Shaklee Get Clean products to clean my house.  I bought my dad some for Father’s Day – he’s obsessed.  I have three of my best girlfriends using it – they love it.  Why? 

1. Because it hands down is the best cleaning products I have tried. 

2.  Because it is cheaper than any commercial products out there.

3.  Because it is all natural so you don’t have to worry about the nasty effects of toxic chemicals.

All of Shaklee Get Clean products are super concentrated so they last a long time.  Case in point My Basic H will probably last me two years.  This bottle makes my degreaser, glass cleaner, and all purpose cleaner. This is how much I have left after 9 months of use.

I have recently started using their laundry products.  The Nature Bright stain remover is UH-MAZING.  I no longer have to pre-treat anything!  I just throw a scoop in there whenever I wash my children’s clothes (because I know there is at least one definite stain on them) and it gets all the stains out every time.

Okay the last product I have to highlight is the Scour Off Paste.

This little vial of scrubbing power gets off the toughest stains. Rust, lime and caked on gunk is no match for the little jar of power.  Embarrassing case in point…

Seriously guys I wish I could come into your house and let you use all of these products so you could be convinced.  I am definitely a Shaklee Get Clean user for life.

Bonnie also has a blog called House of Grace.

She has an awesome post on cleaning.  Click here to read her cleaning post of 2010 for more ways to use the Shaklee Get Clean Products.

Bonnie is giving away 10 samples of the Basic H to ten Infarrantly Creative readers. Each sample can make 2 bottles of household cleaner.

Leave a comment telling me what is the worse household chore for a chance to win. Good luck and may the dirtiest house win ;-)

GO HERE TO ENTER!!!!

Thanks Beckie!!! :)

Have a great day!

February is American Heart Month—a reminder to all that, yes, heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , someone has a heart attack every 25 seconds in America, and someone will die from a heart attack every minute! Pretty frightening statistics, given that many risk factors for heart disease can be significantly reduced with modest lifestyle changes.

Although some risk factors—such as age and family history—can’t be controlled, most risk factors can! Making healthful food choices, being physically active, losing weight if overweight, and supplementing your diet with key nutrients that promote heart health are strategies you can implement to improve and protect the health of the most important organ in your body—your heart.

  
Start by looking to improve your food choices: Try to eliminate fast foods, which, in general, deliver unhealthy amounts of saturated and trans fats, along with excessive sugar and calories. Make a commitment to eat more fiber-rich whole grains and legumes. Look to include more fresh fruits and vegetables, plus a couple of servings per week of omega-3-rich fish such as salmon. Limit your intake of sweets and watch for higher sodium content of many processed foods.

 
Be more active! Physical activity not only helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, it helps control your weight, reduces stress and anxiety, and improves blood circulation. If you’re among the two-thirds of Americans who are overweight, improving your diet and boosting your physical activity will help you lose those extra pounds—and also promote a healthy heart. Our Cinch Inch Loss Plan is a comprehensive weight management program that is clinically tested and helps to support metabolism.

 
When it comes to heart-smart supplementation, Shaklee OmegaGuard is a great place to start! It provides a full spectrum of seven naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, including concentrated levels of DHA and EPA, the most beneficial omega-3s. OmegaGuard not only supports a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, it also supports healthy brain, vision, and joint function. And I’ve got more good news! We’ve taken the same great OmegaGuard formula and repackaged in two new sizes.

For people who are not using an omega-3 product, we are now offering a 60-count bottle with the recommendation of taking two softgels per day, which will deliver 667 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, or the equivalent of the American Heart Association’s recommendation for people who do not have heart disease. This will provide a lower-priced entry point for new consumers, in particular. Also, this is a perfect amount to add to Vitalizer as the combination of OmegaGuard+ Vitalizer will deliver over the 1000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids that my Health Science team and I recommend.

For additional heart-health support, don’t forget about our Cholesterol Reduction Complex and
CoQHeart. Cholesterol Reduction Complex features a blend of plant sterols and stanols to
help naturally lower cholesterol levels.  CoQHeart features coenzyme Q10, a key nutrient
for cellular energy production, antioxidant protection, and healthy heart-muscle function.
Combined with OmegaGuard, you have a power trio of products to address heart health from
several different fronts!

I hope that this is a great motivator to take care of your and your families hearts!!!!

Happy Heath Health Month! :)

What do you do to take care of your heart?

This information was from Dr. Jamie McManus, M.D.  :)

How to Protect Your Skin From Harsh Winter Weather

The climatic conditions during winter are completely different from that in summer. The cold and harsh weather will leave your skin dry, chapped and cracked. Our skin gets dry because of the heated air indoors and the
cold weather outside.
So we have to take care of our skin and adopt some healthy tips to save your skin from the harsh winter. Here are some tips which will surely help you to keep your skin flaw less, soft and healthy this winter.

1. Drink Water. 

The first and most important thing is to eat healthy and drink loads of water and keep your body hydrated. Once you are healthy it will surely show it on your face. Also eat lots of fruit and healthy food.

2.  Exercise. 

Regular exercise will warm you up and it will also keep your muscles limber. Exercise will increase the blood circulation and it will bring a glow to your face. It will also help to boost your immune system, which will help you fight off nasty cold and other disease.  Plus, you will feel great and keep the winter weight off! :)

3. Moisturize.

Apply a good moisturizer which is suitable to your skin type. Carry your moisturizer wherever you go and keep moisturizing your skin. Don't let it dry out!

4. Sunscreen.

Use a good sunscreen. Don't avoid sunscreen just because its winter.  Also, you can look for a A.M. treatment with SPF! :)  That’s what I do! (2 steps in 1…that’s how I like to think!)

What other tips do you have to help your skin in the winter?

Talking about the cold, check out our snow we got from the blizzard!

This was my neighbor’s house.  The snow was about 7 feet high.  My husband helped them shovel!

Here is my hubby out shoveling!  What a guy! :)

Here is a view from my back window.  The snow is as high as our grill.

Here is my hubby before he headed out! :)

Our street needed a front loader and a plow truck because of the massive drifts.

The snow was really high!

It took them a long time it to clear our road.

The kids loved watching! :)

They LOVE trucks.

Did you get hit by the blizzard?

Stay warm! :)
