21 days to a more natural home series part 3 – things to purchase

all natural home series

 

On day three of our challenge to make our homes more natural our next step is actually buying the products you need.

This is where you will have a small expense in the beginning but it will even out over time.  Most of these items you can buy at your local grocery store.  Some you my have problems finding and will have to order online but find a place that does free shipping and then it doesn’t cost much.

 

Things to buy

  • borax
  • baking soda
  • washing soda
  • vinegar
  • alcohol
  • peroxide
  • fels naptha bar soap
  • Dr Bronners soap
  • essential oils—I have peppermint and orange
  • tea tree oil
  • 3 good spray bottles – try and get 3 different colored ones

Most all I purchased at Walmart.  Make sure to buy the more costly spray bottles ($3) as they will last longer than a cheaper one.  The only thing I bought online was the essential oils and Dr Bronners soap.  I got mine from vitaminshoppe.com but check the prices at amazon as well.

Once you gather all your ingredients we will begin by making your all-purpose household cleaner.

 

How to turn a bad day into a good day in 7 easy steps

 

How to turn a bad day into a good day in 7 easy steps

  1. Expect good things. Say to yourself that today will be a great day. Anticipate a great thing happening today.
  2. Focus on positive points. See each person and each problem, as an opportunity to be a blessing to them in some small way.
  3. Refuse to make self-fulfilling prophesy. Don’t assume the world is right when telling you that you deserve to be unhappy. Everyone has a voice and a special plan for their lives. Embrace it, don’t deny it.
  4. Your past does not determine your future. No matter what mistakes you may have made in the past, or yesterday for that matter, today is a new day. The sun shall rise again.
  5. Get a sense of proportion. Think is this really going to matter two weeks from now?
  6. Exercise, eat well, and get enough sleep. You can’t fix how you feel if your not taking care of the body you have to live in.
  7. Be thankful. A heart of gratitude is truly thankful for whatever is thrown their way.
