Cleaning Green with EcoStoreUSA


I am sincerely loving the Ecostore USA products. So far I have tried their shampoo, conditioner, soap, baby wash, baby moisturizer, and now the cleaning products.

The dish soap works great, the laundry soap is amazing, the toilet bowl cleaner worked wonders on the toilets, and the spray cleaner works wonderfully. And aside from the spray cleaner everything smells wonderful. The spray cleaner really doesn't have much of a smell. It says Citrus spray cleaner but I don't really smell citrus. The good thing is that I don't smell any nasty stuff either.


My favorite is the laundry soap. It smells like Eucalyptus and you only need a couple small squirts into the laundry tub. It is super concentrated so a little goes a long way. It makes my basement smell so wonderful while I'm doing laundry and I like that the odor is natural not a bunch of chemical perfumes. Another great bonus it seems to brighten up the clothes and make the whites much brighter and whiter. Yeah, finally something natural that smells good and works great and it is so gentle you can use it for baby and children's laundry.


Everything is a little more expensive than what you might buy at the grocery store but it is all natural and concentrated so you only have to use a little. That means it lasts twice as long if not longer. And for just that bit of price difference it is SOOO worth it.


In the long wrong you'll be saving money, your health, and helping to save the planet. Sounds like a win, win, win situation to me. I think I'll be stocking up on more Ecostore USA products very soon.

Wine Bottle Lamps: Need LED Light Strands







I promised to post a few photos of the wine bottle lamps we made for Christmas presents. Unfortunately we only finished a couple because after experimenting with the perfect lights for the lamps, Christmas was almost over and everyone was out of the LED lights. Now I can't find them anywhere, not in stores, not online, nowhere. I am going nuts.

My husband and I discovered the perfect lights for our lamps are strands of 30 mini LED lights. They are energy efficient and don't get hot like regular Christmas lights do. Perfect for a recycled/green craft.

Everyone had these on sale for like $5 a box over the holidays. Now nobody has them. If anyone can help me find some or has any to sell please let me know.

So here's a few photos of the lamps we made before we ran out of lights.
