This year, marks the 100′th anniversary of International Women’s Day. And, the month of March is nationally decreed as Women’s History Month.
Who do you think of when you recall women in history that made a difference? I know for myself, the list covers a wide range of famous women that I’ve never met, down to ladies that have personally touched my life in a positive way.
A local women’s organization that I have been involved with for over a year now, is the Idaho Business Women’s Network (IBWN). I have been …

I’m moving from the usual “eco” topics today, to share with you about something else that recently moved me and I feel is worth sharing with anyone who will listen. While watching this week’s episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, I learned about the senseless death of a young woman; Alex Brown.
Losing a child or loved one under any circumstances is never easy. But, to lose one due to distracted driving, (texting while driving), must be one of the worse ways. And, as a result of one beautiful young woman’s …

Would you believe me if I said that I could help your household budget and save you $3,400 on the products that you purchase regularly for your home? At first thought, you probably wouldn’t. You’d figure that there’s some kind of gimmick and that there’s some fine print to read somewhere.
Well, guess what?……YOU ARE WRONG !!!
Do you purchase laundry detergent, all-purpose cleaners, disinfectants, dishwasher detergent? I would presume close to all of you answered, “Dah” !!

Even though Winter “officially”  began last week, we all know that the “winter-like” conditions have been around for well over a month. And this week, many portions of the country are fighting some serious arctic blast, cold conditions.
There are some very easy and low, to no-cost, actions that anyone can do in defense from the cold, blistery weather penetrating their home. I’m going to share 5 easy ones here with you now:
1) Caulking and weather-stripping are huge factors in helping keep the cold out. The US Dept of Energy estimates …

The title of this post is the Shaklee promise; Always Safe ~ Always Works ~ Always Green. And it’s a promise that comes with 100% money back guarantee.
For over 50 years, Shaklee has been providing natural nutritional supplements and green cleaning products. AND, during all that time, they’ve never had a product recall.
This year, Shaklee celebrated the 50th Anniversary for Basic H2. This is their all-purpose cleaner, which comes with a Green Seal certification.

When Shaklee first launched their patented, phosphate-free Basic-D® in 1991, they were way ahead of trend in making available a high performing phosphate-free automatic dishwash concentrate. It wasn’t until 1994 that phosphates in laundry detergents were restricted nationwide, but until recently, automatic dishwasher detergent manufacturers could include phosphates without concern for environmental regulations prohibiting or limiting the use of phosphates.

We’re friends, but I’ve never personally met him. Richard Mercer became a friend to me via mutual friends on Facebook. Today, he posted this heartfelt tribute to September 11, 2001. I am inspired to share it with everyone that I can.

People have asked the question, for so long, about why the victims of 9/11 died. Those that died on September 11, 2001, died being faithful to what they do. Those wonderful people were from all walks of life and faith. Some were firemen,… police, people of a religious aspect, and …

Saving the environment by using safe and non-toxic products doesn’t always mean spending more. In fact, the products that I use and am proud to distribute can save the environment and also help save your pocketbook from being depleted so swiftly.
Smirk if you must, when I tell you that I’m referring to Shaklee products. BUT, did you know that NASA has used Shaklee’s Basic H (all-purpose cleaner) in their facilities? How about the fact that a Northern California based aerospace and defense leader uses Basic H in their specifications for …
