Make Your Own Cleaning Products

The Owl Nest — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:45:29 +0000

Next time you’re at the grocery store pass by those over priced so-called ‘green’ cleaning products.

Save the planet! Don’t buy harsh chemicals that end up back in the ground and drinking water. Cut back on recycling empty bottles. Use old cloth diapers or cut up t-shirts on windows to save from using paper towels.

Save your health! Would you drink the cleaning products that you have at home? If not, don’t clean with them! Why would you want to clean with something that comes with a warning label? Everything that our skin comes into contact with is absorbed into our bodies and harsh chemicals that are found in most cleaning products are not good for us. The same goes for our beloved pets.

Save money! Kicking commercial cleaners to the curb will save you LOTS of money each year. By eliminating just bathroom and kitchen sprays you can easily save $75 a year. Add in floor and glass cleaner and we’re talking some serious money!

All you need are a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

All Purpose Cleaner:

Add ¼ cup white vinegar to an empty spray bottle. Fill spray bottle with warm water (just to the bottom of the neck) and add 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda and mix well.

You can custom blend your All Purpose Cleaner by adding your favorite essential oils:

Clean & Fresh: Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, Peppermint. Add 1-3 drop of each essential oil.

Spray & Smudge: Lavender, Lemongrass, Sage. Add 1-3 drops of each essential oil.

Thieves Blend: Cinnamon, Clove, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Rosemary. Add 1-3 drops of each essential oil.

.
Glass Cleaner:

For a streak-free shine every time!

Add 1 cup of Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol), 1 cup water, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to an empty spray bottle and shake well. Use a soft cloth and cut out wasteful paper towels.

Add a splash of lemon essential oil for a fresh scent.

Earth Changes, Media Blackout?

As we speed toward 2012 is there something 'they' don't want us to know???

We are not saying if this is true or not true...just information to see what you think...

L.A. had a record cool summer and a few days after summer is over, they shoot up to a record high 113 degrees. Parts of Brazil and Bolivia shattered record cold temps and were colder than Antarctica for much of July, killing millions of fish, and many alligators and fresh water dolphins! Weather is going crazy around the world and all the mainstream media talks about is "climate change" "global warming"...etc. But they won't touch upon the True Cause, because for them it is too alarming.

The Owl Nest — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 16:35:16 +0000

It's been building for awhile now, folks coming in expressing that they feeling anxious and tense about something that they just can't put their finger on. They're waiting for 'it' to happen. But what is it? Our resident astrologer, Patt Gateley sent us this great article which may help clear the air about what is happening on a personal and world scale.

Tensions Flare as Mercury, Mars and Pluto Collide - Lynn Hayes

As you know if you follow my Facebook page, over the past week or so we have seen a challenging alignment of these three planets which culminated on December 13th. Mercury just turned retrograde on the 10th so it is still moving pretty slowly, and will remain within five degrees of Pluto for the next few days. All planets are in Capricorn, the sign that represents structures, governments, tradition.
