Coffee, tea, wine – they’re some of life’s most delicious, simple pleasures, but they can really do a number on the brightness of your teeth. Discolored teeth is a problem almost everyone has at some point in their lives; it’s just a natural part of living!

Of course, there are many manufactured teeth whitening kits on the market to help alleviate the problem, but those often leave you with a completely new set of issues. Full of harsh chemicals (like bleaching agents!) and irritating ingredients, over-the-counter teeth whitening solutions can leave your teeth feeling sensitive and stripped of good things (like your enamel)!

Thankfully, there are a number of safe, effective, and, most importantly, natural ways to help whiten your teeth at home. Below are five of the most popular and most effective you’ll find! [Read more…] about 5 Ways to Naturally Whiten Your Teeth

Why I Prefer to Deep Clean in the Fall

September 25, 2016 By Dawn Leave a Comment

This weekend I spent a lot of time deep cleaning our house. I like to do fall cleaning before the main levels of my house get filled with seasonal decorations.

With seasonal decorating beginning and spiders and rodents wanting to move into my home, fall cleaning is something I enjoy more than spring cleaning.

So if I am really going to deep clean my house, it needs to be now, as a part of fall cleaning. Otherwise I will be just making things harder on myself with more stuff to clean around when I bring out fall and Halloween decorations out of storage. And when the fall decorations get packed up, it’s time to bring out Christmas decorations.

This is also a time of year when spiders and mice like to start making a home in your home. Just yesterday my husband killed a wolf spider in our house. (I may have a phobia of spiders.) [Read more…] about Why I Prefer to Deep Clean in the Fall

This not That: Natural Alternatives for Your Everyday

This post is sponsored by Tom’s of Maine. I thought this topic was important to share with you as I am personally striving to reduce chemicals and processed foods in my family’s home.

The offenders might seem scary, but if you start with just one or two natural alternatives on this list, you’ll be well on your way to healthy living.

Article written by Cheryl Lock for Doing What’s Natural

The options these days are limitless. From the food and beauty aisles on down to cleaning supplies — shelves are stocked with everything from “natural” and “chemical-free” products to “organic,” “local” and “grass-fed” ones.

It’s as if we all need a PhD just to buy some shampoo.

Of course, you don’t really need a PhD to buy healthy products. To help get you started, we’ve created a list of 10 common, everyday goods, along with reasons why making the switch over to all natural makes (healthy) sense.
