Eco-Me Dish Soap Review

1/19/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
I received a complementary sample to facilitate this review, however all opinions are my own.

Finding a good product that does what is advertises and it is safe for your house and the environment it is not easy. I got a bottle of Eco-Me Dish Soap and the results on my dishes are great. Eco-Me has a lemon scent and it is made with 100% natural, green ingredients.

Please note that this soap is only to be used when you are doing your dishes by hand and it is not recommended for dishwashers. (I hope they make one soon for dishwashers because that would be a great help)

Eco-Me is made with plant extracts and toxin-free ingredients and does not contain any preservatives, animal by-products artificial colors or sulfates.

The company also produces other type of cleaners such as pet products, had soap and even cleaner sprays.

For better results with Eco-Me advisable to soak your dishes on warm water and once you add the soap you can see the bubbles starting to remove grease and food form your dishes.

  • Hey 2015, it’s me Monica from My Life is a Journey
  • This year I would like to get fit, in shape, and lose weight.
  • It would also be super duper awesome if I also did sparkle this year. It’s not a resolution, though, just a reminder to myself to try and have the best year yet because my goal is to become a better version of me.
  • The thing I am looking forward to most this year is to get fit.
  • I’ll use the one thing that truly gets me out of bed in the morning which is my motivation because it is the year for #NoExcuses.
  • I vow to move my body and be more healthy this year even if it means I have to be outside while is cold.
  • Even if my alarm clock gets eaten by the dog in the middle of the night, I'll still get up early to exercise
  • My job and family are not the reason I make excuses. I will show them who's boss this year and get my sweat on
  • I know that walking is better than no workout, so at least I will walk everyday 
  • I will reward myself by buying new clothes
  • No Excuses 2015 has just begun and already I am imagining myself a winner. I can’t wait to rock a shirt from Augusta Active. I can’t wait till my sweaty friends are jealous of how fresh, clean  I am between workouts with help from ShowerPill body wipes.

And of course, I’ll be taking my workouts to the next level and improving my core strength with my new ActivMotion Bar to help me train for my next 5k race with Sasquatch Racing. 
  • Oh, and let’s not forget how amazing my _sweater will smell in my / during my walk after washing with some WIN Detergent. And lastly, I’ll keep rocking my 2015 with clean eats and nutrition from Beaming with Health!

Oil Pulling made easy. GuruNanda Pulling Oil Review

1/14/2015

It has been a trend for a while now. You probably have heard about it either from a friend or the internet. Oil pulling is actually an Ayurvedic healing method that dates back 5000. There has been claims of help with oral health and other system issues.

Pulling oil means swishing oil around in your mouth. I had tried before but was not consistent about it because I was using coconut oil. I needed to warm up the oil so it was liquid and after a few days I got tired of doing the process all over again.

I got a bottle of GuruNanda pulling oil to review and I it has made oil pulling so much easier. First I do not have to warm up oil to make it liquid, the GuruNanda is already on a liquid form. The oils not only smells good but it has no yucky taste.  Since I got this bottle I have been pulling oil consistently everyday for a few days and I really like it. 

GuruNanda Pulling Oil is the first commercialized pulling oil that incorporates oils with healing properties related to Ayurveda’s five major elements. GuruNanda Pulling Oil contains a proprietary ratio of 100% organic sunflower, coconut, peppermint and sunflower oils. When combined, these oils pull toxins and harmful bacteria from the body’s salivary glands. Although all oils will work to some degree, GuruNanda thoroughly researched all the Vedic knowledge available to create a perfect product that works more effectively than other stand-alone oils used for pulling, such as coconut or sesame oil. GuruNanda Pulling Oil possesses a correctly balanced viscous body that produces mild yet effective results when combined with a gentle swishing force. The 3 oils (sesame, sunflower and coconut) balance the 3 doshas (humors) and the peppermint oil acts as a catalyst (agni).

So now that GuruNanda is making oil pulling easier, are you ready to give it a try?
