Another quick post before I head off on the school run...
A huge part of my job is dealing with people being diagnosed and treated for cancer. It's the worst part of the job, especially when it's terminal.
Some people you think, well you smoke a pack a day, drink 4 nights a week, eat takeaways every other day it's no wonder you ended up with a dreaded disease.
But we still get lots of people who exercise, eat healthy, have never touched a cigarette and yet they're having major surgery to have a tumour removed.
I think part of it isn't just diet and exercise but the chemicals we expose ourselves to everyday - not just pollution from cars and industry etc but from the chemicals in our cleaning products, our lotions and potions that we slather ourselves in and our make up. They may be minute, but we and our children are constantly coming into contact with them.
So over the last couple of years I've made a conscious effort to purchase natural and organic products. One of my favourite brands is Sukin an Aussie organic range of shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc... The reason I've gone for an Aussie brand is because it's about 1/4 the price of NZ brands and it's still a really good product.
And today I made my own cleaning spray.
1 cup water
1 cup white vinegar
and no my house doesn't smell like vinegar (although now I've got a craving for Salt & Vinegar Chips)
Anyway the whole point of me posting was actually to let you all know about a really helpful website I came across while getting my cleaning spray recipe
OrganizedHomeIt's got heaps of tips and lots of printouts like meal planners, cleaning checklistss and a whole heap of stuff for helping stay organised at home.
BTW - Even though I buy Sukin from Australia, I'm now buying Whittakers made in NZ
Better go, now I'm running late, so much for being organised!! lol
