Some of my favorite things


I am trying to do my part for Mother Earth. I recycle everything I can, I changed out many light bulbs to compact florescent, I try to turn off the lights (not always successful on this) and try not to waste water. I also like to use earth friendly cleaning products when I can. I have found a couple of brands that I LOVE......Mrs. Meyers and Method. I went to the boutique called "Hip and Humble" this week to get some Mrs. Meyers all purpose cleaner. It was $12.00. Now that's a lot for a bottle of cleaner (even though you dilute it down), but saw it on the Internet for $7.99. Paying shipping would have upped the price to more than that at H & H so I didn't buy it. I was happy today because I went to World Market and found it for $7.99. That's $4 less per bottle and that's a gallon of gas by golly. Anyway, the products are not animal tested, are biodegradable and have a wonderful smell due to essential oils. My favorites are Mrs. Meyer's geranium and Method's pink grapefruit. I really don't like the smell of geraniums at all, but the cleaner really doesn't smell like them. It has rose essential oil and clove oil mixed in it and it smells wonderful. They also make verbena and lavender that smell great too. You can get the Method cleaner at Target for about $5.00 and it comes in a spray bottle.
