Toxic bath for my baby? Why, no thank you!

What are we putting ON our kids?

    Going natural isn't limited to "hippies." You actually are loving your family (and self) well when you choose to use natural detergents, cleaners, bath products, and good nutrition free of these toxins that we are so accustomed to. Did you know that most women made all these products in home until around the 50s when companies convinced us that our home wasn't clean unless it smelled clean? Women bought the lie that they weren't good housewives and mothers unless their home was cleaned with these toxic cleaners that promised to make their lives easier and their homes cleaner. Guess they forgot to mention the time they would now be spending in the hospitals and doctors offices due to disease and poor health from these "helpful" cleaners. 

    I've heard this year is the year of the woman. I'd say it's time for women to stop believing these lies and be the mamma bear and protect and nourish her family by switching over to safe, natural, and effective cleaners! Great thing about Shaklee's Get Clean line is that they are not only safer for your family, but they are a lot CHEAPER! Not only are you also saving tons of money, but also time because the highly concentrated solutions keep you from running out of cleaners as fast; therefore, not going to the store every month or so. Looks like there is a product that goes back to nature AND does what they were trying to do in the 50s. No compromising here!
