Product Review: Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Window Spray

I'm a cleaning nut. I love a clean house and I know at times that it's an irrational expectation, especially since I have two sons.

Since I've been eliminating toxic concoctions in my home, I have been on the lookout for products that are safer. That's when I came across. Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day products. I read the ingredients and was hooked the moment I saw that they are not tested on animals, are essential oil based, and contain no phosphates.

I decided to start off with the window spray, because I have been looking for something that did not contain ammonia, but still did a great job cleaning my windows. Now, I have a dog who loves his little window by the front door. He leaves me daily reminders that his face has been there, drooling on the glass and leaving filmy dog slobber marks for all to see. It's his way of letting people know he's been there. I needed something that I could use on the window that wouldn't irritate his sniffer, but still cleaned it nicely.

I tried Mrs. Meyer's Window Spray in Geranium scent, hoping that I had just found the product that would replace my other window cleaner. I put it to the test on the dog window first to see how well it does. A few squirts later, there was no sign my dog had been there. This stuff works great . . . and it smells amazing too. It cleans so well, that I have decided to try their other products. I already make my own laundry soap and disinfectant, so my next test will be their Kitchen Basics Set which has a hand soap, dish soap, and countertop spray. Since I am in my kitchen multiple times a day, it only makes sense to try that next.

If you are looking to detox your home, but don't want to hassle with making your own cleaning products, Mrs. Meyer's product line seems like a winner. It's safe, non-toxic, and is family owned. Plus, it was tested on my animal . . . somewhat. My dog enjoyed the geranium smell so much he couldn't wait to leave his dog drool on the clean window again. Have you tried any of the Mrs. Meyer's product line? Let me know what product you like best.

Stay tuned for the Kitchen Basics Set review. If it works as well as I think it will I may just end up doing a giveaway so you can have your own Mrs. Meyer's products too!

I wasn't paid to post this. I just love trying healthy alternatives to cleaning.

As always...

take care!!

Birchbox?! What's that?

If you've visited my site before, you may have noticed a link to Birchbox along the top. Maybe you've seen the link and wondered what Birchbox was. Well, I'm going to fill you in on one of my favorite websites on the internet.

Most days when I make the uneventful walk to the mailbox I know I will be greeted by bills or junk mail. On occasion, I'll receive my copy of Good Housekeeping magazine or a free product sample. I like those days, but most days it's just the plain old, boring mail. Not on Birchbox days though.

I can usually track my Birchbox and see where it is and when it will arrive at my door (they have a great iPhone app). Those are my favorite mail days. . . when that beautiful little box of high-end samples arrives in my little bright yellow mailbox. When I see it sitting in the mailbox I immediately know what awaits is something wonderful.

Now, I am a low maintenance, barely any makeup kind of woman. I have yet to figure out the art of applying eyeliner (one of these days I'll get it), but I absolutely love the samples I receive from my Birchbox each month. You see, when you subscribe to the service and get your profile created on their site, you go in and edit your 'Women's Subscription Profile'. It's easy, straightforward, and helps the Birchbox fairies pack your box with the samples that they think you will enjoy.

You will receive everything from perfume samples, hair care, facial care, tea, makeup, and much more. These little samples have helped me find the brands I now love and use every week. For example, I discovered Shea Terra Organics through Birchbox. Yeah, that's right. I said organic. Even Birchbox knows some divas love their organic, natural, Fair-Trade products. Smart, huh?

By following this link (it's my personal referral link, I'm not being compensated for writing this post, but I can earn points for helping you love Birchbox just as much as I do): https://www.birchbox.com/invite/fwlgg
You can sign-up for your own subscription to Birchbox.  When you arrive at the link's landing site you will see that you can select either a Woman's Subscription or a Men's Subscription (even men can get a Birchbox!). Select the one you are interested in. Select the option to either pay monthly for $10 or yearly for $110 (that's a free box each year) and hit 'Subscribe Now'. You'll fill in your information and when your subscription is ready, they'll let you know.




Maybe you aren't interested in subscribing to the monthly box. If that's the case then you can just peruse through the lovely items available on Birchbox and purchase what you want. There are lots of reviews to help you find the right products. Also, every time you shop you earn points on Birchbox that you can use to get free stuff. Win! I love this company. I think you will too.

If you're not convinced, give the Birchbox subscription service a try. If you don't think it's something you might like, maybe you have a niece, daughter, best friend, or parent who would love it. Shoot, don't forget the guys either. A men's subscription would be a great, unique idea for the guys in your life (every time I get mine, my husband asks when he'll get his lol). It would make a great gift idea. I purchased my mother-in-law a Birchbox gift card for Christmas this past year and she used it to buy some of the tea they have available in their shop. She loved it.

Well, I think you get the idea. Go check Birchbox out and see what you think. I have a feeling you'll love it just as much as I do.

Take care!
