Cleaning the Tub Can Be Fun!

I have to admit my least favorite chore is cleaning the tub! However, I recently found out a way to do this that is completely natural and fun as well. And I have to admit it is fun for me even without the kids!

Here is what you do:

Let your child sprinkle as much baking soda as they want on the kitchen or bathroom floor, or in the bathtub; then help him or her pour a cup of water and vinegar (2/3 water, 1/3 vinegar) on the pile of baking soda. Watch it bubble! Watch it squirt! Dilute it a little more when the fun is done, and get on hands and knees to scrub.

Enjoy!

Blessings & Health,
Kristie

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Epsom Salts & Sea Salts

Dear Kristie,

What are these Epsom salts you spoke about in your BLOG? Can't I just use Sea Salts? - EH

Dear EH,

Epsom salts are not just "salts" - they are a natural substance that can extract toxins from your body. Scientifically Epsom salts are a magensium sulfate "salts" - most minerals can be made into salt! Regular salt that we eat is really just mostly sodium chloride. You would not want to eat Epsom salts, although there are some ways you can consume them safely "now and then" for health benefits.

Sea salt is also beneficial in therapy - although its effects are different from that of Epsom salts because sea salts are made up of many different minerals.

Sea salt contains about 84 different essential minerals - 83 which are actually EXTRACTED when regular table salt is made!

So think of this next time you use salt in your food - would you rather use regular table salt or sea salt?

The Ultimate Recylable and FUN giftbag!

I just discovered these awesome gift bags at a local healthfood store this weekend and wanted to share them with all of you! You may have heard of these already but I just went "nuts" when I found them! You use them to give a gift and before you give the gift you "register" it online. Then, when the person receives it THEY register it - then when they use it again they register it and the next person registers it and so on! They are $4.00 - $6.00 each at www.wrapsacks.com. You can see how many sacks have taken long journeys at: http://wrapsacks.com/tas_wrapsacks
