Clean Your Home the Non-Toxic Way

January 12, 2017 by Aliesha

I don’t know why, but January always makes me want to clean my house from top to bottom!  Maybe it’s because taking down the Christmas decorations seems to start that process anyway, or maybe it’s because there’s a need to clean and reorganize in order to find a place for all the new Christmas gifts.grove1

At any rate, I strive to clean my home with non-toxic products, such as homemade cleaners (made with simple ingredients) and products from companies I trust, like Seventh Generation.

Today I wanted to share with you a really great offer that will get YOU off to the right start cleaning your house with non-toxic cleaners.

You’ve heard me talk about Grove Collaborative (formerly ePantry) before.  I love Grove!  I use their service to purchase cleaning supplies, natural shampoo, and much more for my home.

This week only, Grove is offering a special freebie for new customers!  New customers will receive a cleaning caddy, a glass spray bottle, two scrubber sponges, and a bottle of organic orange essential oil!!  Wow!  Existing customers still get a special offer: free scrubber sponges.

grove3You can use the orange essential oil and the glass spray bottle to make an all-purpose cleaner that will tackle all the messes at your home!  Orange oil is excellent for purifying and disinfecting since it has antimicrobial properties!  I’ve included a few simple recipes at the bottom of this post.

grove4The glass spray bottle is SO nice and looks pretty if you leave it out!  Using a glass container is important when making homemade cleaners with essential oils because some oils can eat away at plastic!

The caddy is so awesome too!  I love using it to tote my cleaning supplies from room to room.  I can think of a bunch of other uses for it too!

So are you ready to get your freebies?  Here’s all you need to do:

1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here. You will receive the Toxin Free Kit for free when you sign up! Existing customers (click here) will receive free Grove Walnut Scrubber Sponges with your next order.

2. Answer 4 quick questions about your home that Grove Collaborative will then use to customize your first basket — this takes under 30 seconds!

3. Once you’ve answered the questions, you can finalize your basket of products to suit your household needs by adding or removing items.

4. To receive this offer, your order needs to be a minimum of $20. Choose the combination of products and scents you love and want to receive in your first box.  (Need some ideas?  I love Earthpaste toothpaste, Caldrea hand/dish soap, Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap, Grove Collaborative dish towels, and Grove soy candles!  Even more ideas in this post!)

5. You made it! Click Finish & Pay and place your order.

Tip to save: Once you’ve submitted your Grove order, you’ll be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. As a VIP, you’ll get free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales and personal service. It’s a great way to try out Grove and discover some new products you’ll love!

And now, for the orange cleaner recipes I promised!

3 Recipes for DIY Orange Cleaners (easy & non-toxic!) | Feathers in Our Nest

DIY All-Purpose Cleaning Spray

This cleaner works wonders for cleaning a grimy stovetop or sticky fridge fingerprints.

Combine 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of liquid castile soap, and 10-20 drops of orange essential oil to a spray bottle and shake well.  For tough messes, spray it on, wait 5 minutes, and scrub with the Grove walnut scrubber sponge.

DIY Orange Countertop Disinfecting Spray

This orange spray helps give me peace of mind knowing that the counter, sink, and cutting boards are disinfected!

Fill a small glass bottle bottle halfway with water, then fill almost to the top with vinegar. Add 5-10 drops of orange essential oil. Shake well.  Spray on counters, sink, cutting boards, and anywhere you want to disinfect!

DIY Orange Soft Scrub

This scrub is perfect for cleaning tubs, tile, and toilets!

In a glass bowl, combine 3/4 rounded cup baking soda with 1/4 cup liquid castile soap.  Add in 1 tablespoon water and stir.  Finally, add 1 tablespoon vinegar and 5-10 drops orange essential oil.  The consistency should be a soft paste.  Store in airtight container.  When you’re ready to use, apply to the surface and let it sit for 5 minutes (10 for bigger messes).  Scrub, then wipe clean with a soft cloth.

Hope you enjoy these easy non-toxic cleaning recipes!

Don’t forget to grab your FREE orange essential oil, walnut scrubbers, cleaning caddy, and glass spray bottle from Grove Collaborative HERE!

Last day to get this special offer is Tuesday, January 17 at 6pm PST.

New Scripture Art Prints in my Etsy Shop

January 6, 2017 by Aliesha

20170105_104242-01
Happy New Year!  We spent some time out of town earlier this week (it was awesome to see my family!), and we’re still on winter break from our homeschool (going back Monday!), so this week has felt a bit different!

But I was able to re-stock my Etsy shop this week with some brand-new Scripture art prints!  Watercolor succulents, feathers, cotton wreaths… you’ll love them!

And, more importantly, the calligraphy will remind you of the gospel and the truth found in God’s Word as you see it displayed in your home.

Visit my shop to see all the new designs!

It’s Back! Everything You Need for a Healthy New Year!

December 28, 2016 by Aliesha

This post was originally published in September 2016. I am reposting it today because this special deal is back for just 48 hours! If you want to join me in making healthy lifestyle changes in 2017, keep reading!

Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle | Feathers in Our NestDo you ever feel overwhelmed by healthy living?

It’s not that you don’t understand or agree with why it matters. You know the benefits of eating whole foods, raising healthier kids, getting fit, and using alternative remedies.

But sometimes it’s a whole lot easier to say than to actually do, right? Believe me, I’ve had the same struggles and questions as you. What on earth do you eat (and especially, what do you feed your kids)?  How do you afford to buy healthier products? And where do you find the time to make and do all this stuff?

I know what it’s like to feel that healthy living shouldn’t be this hard, and it shouldn’t have to cost so much, either! Don’t you ever wish someone would just tell you exactly what you need to know and how to make these changes for less?

Because when you have the best info and resources right at your fingertips, healthy living comes together so much more easily.

You know what to cook for your family (what is “real food,” anyway?). You’re more confident in choosing natural alternatives (tell me again when to use essential oils…). You find ways to save money without comprising on what’s important to you (isn’t eating “healthy” more expensive?).

You learn to replace store-bought products with DIY options that actually work and are easy to make (I can make that?!). You feel better (and even look better, too). Healthy living becomes less stressful and more enjoyable.

That’s why Stephanie and her team have put together the popular Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle for the fifth year in a row (yay!).  I’ve been buying this bundle every year and I’m truly blown away by the quality of the bundle each year.  Over 64,000 families (and counting!) have snatched up this complete library of natural living resources for one teeny tiny price.  Many of you dear readers bought the bundle back in September!Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle | Feathers in Our Nest

You’ll have to see it to believe it, but the package includes 83 digital products and it’s worth over $2,400!

Now I know this sounds too good to be true, but here’s the main reason they can sell such a high-quality bundle at this price: it’s only for sale for 48 hours.

For the cost of a bag of groceries, you’ll get a complete healthy living library to help you:

  • prepare whole & delicious real food
  • get the toxins out of your house for good
  • understand and use natural remedies
  • breathe new life into your exercise habits
  • learn about important women’s health issues
  • raise exceptionally healthy kids in an unhealthy world
  • plus learn about gardening & homesteading, meal planning, weight loss and so much more!Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle | Feathers in Our Nest

These are such high-quality resources… no junky eBooks in here!  Each and every item included in this bundle is excellent.  While you may not read every eBook or take every eCourse, there will be MANY resources that you do glean from.  It’s worth it just for those!

Could you do something for me for a second?  Click over to see the bundle.  Then pick out the five resources you are most interested in, and write down their value.  Then come back to this post and tell me the value of those five things.

I’ll wait.

…

Are you back?  When I did this, the five resources I was most excited about came in at around $80! To me, that made buying the bundle a no brainer!  I get those five resources I KNOW I’ll use, plus 78 others to have on my “shelf” (ahem, digital library) for when I want to reference them in the future.  Sweet deal!

Tell me in the comments which resources make this bundle a “no brainer” for you!

Plus, it comes with almost $250 worth of bonus products including:

  • Green Kid Crafts – FREE craft box ($19.95 value)
  • Perfect Supplements – $15 gift certificate toward any Perfect Brand product ($15 value)
  • TriLight Health – $15 off select TriLight products ($15 value)

  • Experience Life – 4 FREE digital guides (value $27.95)
