It’s that time of year, where we’re spending more time outside enjoying the weather. While we’re enjoying the outdoors, the bugs are enjoying us! I was on a trip to WI and PA recently, and wish I had taken this All-Natural Bug Spray with me, then I’d not have been mosquito’s lunch and dinner!
If you’re like a lot of people, you use a bug spray that contains DEET. DEET is an active ingredient in a large percentage of insect repellents that repel biting insects like mosquitoes, ticks and gnats. DEET has some side effects, especially in people with sensitive skin, children, babies, animals/pets-dizziness, vomiting, liver/kidney damage and other.
DEET has been found in underground water sources, and can be harmful to household pets. Tests/studies are still being done on the effects to wildlife, trees, flowers.
So, rather than using a DEET insect repellent, use an all natural one.
Item #: 41320
All-Natural Bug Spray 4 oz.
This all natural, DEET-free alternative to chemical based insect repellents will provide hours of bug free fun.
Uses: After shaking, spray on exposed skin always avoiding the eyes and mouth. Re-apply after swimming or exercising. This product will not kill insects but it will prevent them from biting you.
Ingredients: Witch hazel, neem seed oil, lemon eucalyptus essential oil, natural emulsifier, a blend of pure essential oils and a drop of love. According to CDC evaluation of scientific literature, both lemon and eucalyptus oils provide long-lasting and effective protection against disease-carrying insects such as mosquitoes and tics.

If you’re going to wash your car at home, consider using a Car Cleaning Kit. Most know that it’s more environmentally friendly to have your vehicle washed at a commercial car wash where they process the used water; however, many like the convenience of washing their own car at home (as well as ‘bonding’ time with kids).
Now you can do that and not be as damaging as you previously were to the eco system.
Item #: 41440
Car Cleaning Kit
Our Car Cleaning Kit includes everything you need to detail your paint, chrome and upholstery - without all the wasted water!
Washing your car at home saves money, sure, but it’s actually a bad deal for the environment - all that soapy water runs straight into the storm drains and down to nearby lakes and rivers. With Green Irene’s Car Cleaning Kit, though, you can significantly cut down the amount of water you use when washing your car, which is better for the environment and better for your pocketbook.
Our kit incorporates the following products:
▪ 1 Waterless Car Wash (32 oz bottle)
▪ 1 Eco-Friendly Tire Shine (16 oz bottle)
▪ 1 Upholstery Carpet Spot Cleaner (16 oz bottle)
▪ 2 Microfiber Car Wash Towels (2-pack)

Buy things in bulk so you won’t have to buy them as often (things you need/use that is!)
Purchase items that have less plastic and packaging.
It’ll keep more out of landfill!

I want to introduce a new book called “Smoothies for Optimum Health“.
The concept is cool.
It’s a raw food smoothie recipe book with an interesting twist.
Kevin Gianni of www.RenegadeHealth.com didn’t just write a bunch of recipes,
he asked over 20 leading health experts what their favorite smoothies were, tested them
and now has compiled them into a book of over 165 great tasting recipes.
Now you can find out what Victoria Boutenko, Doug Graham, Ani Phyo, Mike Adams, David Wolfe, Angela Stokes and more, blend up in their Vitamix when they’re in need for a meal or a quick snack!
The book is available now and you can read more about what’s included on this page…
here
It’s a also a great gift for a friend or family member who may want to be healthier
but just don’t know where to start…
So, get yours now here!
PS. The book also includes a whole bunch of
educational information as well, such as
which blender is best to use, how to combine
certain foods and more.
All the recipes are also 100% gluten-free,
100% dairy-free, and 99.9% raw and living
foods.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

If you simply must have your soda, at least make your own so you can save on resources that are used to make all those soda bottles & cans, get them to you…a lot of waste.
The environmental benefits are:
reduces energy used to make and distribute soda cans & bottles
it doesn’t use electric or batteries
it eliminates the need for bottles/cans totally
…so less waste, less pollution all around.
Plus, no more lugging cases of soda from the store!
Only pennies per serving when you make your own.
The Penguin is the first and only drinks maker with glass carafes; It’s an eye catcher in every kitchen and dining room. Among the Penguin features are: customized carbonation level, easy to clean, automatic access gas release mechanism and minimal space usage on counter tops.
SodaStream Penguin Deluxe Home Soda Maker
The Penguin Home Soda Maker easily produces sparkling water and soda in seconds– eliminating the need to carry, store and dispose of bottles and cans. It uses a carbonator and glass carafe reducing electricity and waste. Makes sparkling water or soda. Very Easy!
You can also add fruit juice to make your own fizzy fruit drinks! mmmm mmmm good
If you’re interested in a bargain on the soda machine, I have a brand new one still in box complete with 20 assorted mixes from sodastream.
I personally am not a big fan of the mixes since they are made with a sugar and Splenda mix. I don’t allow Splenda in my home nor promote it; however, others aren’t as ’strict’ as I am and have no problem using it.
The normal retail value of just the SodaStream Penguin Deluxe Home Soda Maker by itself is $200 plus shipping.
The SodaMix flavors are available in economy sized bottles. Each bottle of concentrated SodaMix contains enough syrup to make about 12 liters of fresh, delicious soda. Normal retail varies but averages $4.99 each
I am selling a brand new in box SodaStream Penguin Deluxe Home Soda Maker AND 20 assorted SodaMix flavors in bottles for $200 which includes shipping (which averages about $60 due to weight)
If interested, email me.
I accept all credit cards as well as PayPal.
So, you’ll get a great deal and help the environment as well.
