Enhance and boost the effectiveness of your laundry with this all-natural, organic, eco-friendly laundry detergent. You will not only save money by using less detergent ($0.17 a load!), but you will also notice that your clothes are cleaner and even softer than using harsh commercial brands! This product naturally deodorizes and imparts a light, pleasant scent to your laundry, so it’s especially great to use with....for lack of better words, “smelly” laundry, such as sports clothing, pet bedding, dirty diapers, well-used sneakers, etc.! Unlike conventional commercial laundry detergent brands, which may contain artificial fragrances, skin irritants, toxic chemicals, dyes, and other synthetic harmful ingredients, this easy-to-use detergent is safe, biodegradable, and won’t harm you or the environment. So, if you’ve got hard water or clothes that never seem to come out looking quite clean, consider trying this natural detergent. You’ll be amazed at how well it works! One bag contains 64 laundry tabs or 32 oz of loose detergent for 64 regular sized loads. Each bag is made to order with scent and style specifications.

Have you seen what chemicals are in your typical tube of commercial brand toothpaste? What you're brushing on yours and your kids teeth everyday? If you haven't heard about awful side effects of fluoride (one batch of commercial toothpaste has enough fluoride to kill a small child within 2-4 hours!) and other harmful ingredients in commercial toothpastes, I suggest you do some research! Even "safe" and "all-natural" popular brand toothpastes can still contain harmful ingredients! Rethink your oral health with our re-mineralizing, organic, all natural toothpaste! Our toothpaste is fluoride free, antibacterial, organic, sulfate free, and has whitening powers! It is kid-approved, and since it has no fluoride, its safe on babies, toddlers, pregnant or nursing moms, and those with thyroid problems! If you want to whiten teeth, improve an oral health problem or just try a natural alternative to commercial toothpastes that contain harmful ingredients, definitely give our paste a try! When most dentists detect a cavity, they suggest filling it, usually without thinking twice. However, what if teeth could be re-mineralized through a proper diet and good oral hygiene routine? I believe they can. If you’re looking for a safe alternative to the common toothpastes, why not try our safe alternative?

Plant lemongrass as a natural way to keep mosquitoes away. Buy a mature plant from a market or grocery store. When you get it home, trim the tops of the plant and remove any dead parts. Plant it in a clear jar of water and place on a sunny windowsill. Within a few weeks, it will develop roots and can be transplanted to your garden.
