Waiting for spring

PB+J Monday

Welcome back to PB+J Monday.  I can’t promise that I will be rigidly regular with this but I will sure try.

This week I wanted to share an eco conscious company with you.  I was introduced to Norwex a few years ago and I think they make great products.

All of their products are biodegradable, use no harsh chemicals and are friendly to your home, your body and the environment.

They make products for cleaning just about anything you can imagine from your hair to your toes and your car to your oven.

One of their biggest products is their microfibre cloth.  It cleans without the use of soaps or other cleaners.  You just need water and the cloth and you can clean just about anything.

The fun thing about their cloths is that they offer many different colours.  So you can code the cloths and keep the toilet one separate from the rest.  They also have a line of products for kids and your teeth!

I use the body pack of cloths and I think they’re great.  They wash your face, remove makeup and exfoliate in one step.  They eliminate the use of soaps and other chemicals being used on your face.

“Cleaning with water only produces a healthy outcome for us and the environment.”

I've been featured on another blog!

I have been a terrible blogger lately!  I am going to work on that but it probably won't be a routine until after we move later this month.

In the mean time I will direct you to another blog that has a little feature about....ME!!

And tomorrow I will do my best to have a new PB + J post for you.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the Superbowl!

PB + J Monday

I have some of the craziest hair around.  It’s curly, wavy, and straight.  It’s brown, black, blond, and even a little red.  When I get it cut one side is always longer than the other because one side is curlier.  But my biggest complaint is that it’s frizzy.  And for some strange reason I enjoy growing it long, which requires lots more work and product. 

I’ve tried so many different shampoos that claim to be the best for my hair type(s?) and then of course they fall waaaay short.  Then just a couple of months ago I was introduced to a new earth friendly hair care product line that is geared mainly for curly hair (but straight haired people are welcome to use it too).  So far I love it!  My hair is softer and way less frizzy. 

Let me introduce you to

Curly Canadians! 

Their hair care products do not contain sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals and/or synthetic scents & dyes.  They also sell soaps, oils, brushes and combs.  They are a fairly new company based out of Montreal and I highly recommend taking a look at what they offer for both curly and straight hair.

To get tips about hair care you can join their facebook page, www.facebook.com/curlycanadians and on twitter, www.twitter.com/curlycanadians

Happy New Year Everyone!!

We had a wonderful Christmas break with lots of fun family visits and lots of yummy food.  I am now in serious need of some exercise.  But it was definitely worth it.

Now it's time to get back to doing some burning and blogging.

This week's PB + J came to me from a magazine and was fortified after so many holiday feasts: Use cloth napkins

So instead of buying paper napkins and throwing them away have a stash of fun cloth napkins available for when you have guests over.  Sure it means a little more laundry but your guests will be very impressed and the environment will be very thankful.

I found this great post from another blogger about the same thing...

http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/fabric-textiles/how-to-make-your-own-cloth-napkins-036252

You can either make your own, like the post above, or if you're not too savy with the sewing machine (like me) you can purchase all sorts of fun and interesting premade napkins.  I've found a couple of great ones on Etsy...

These ones are reversible



Love the richness of these ones
