Let me start by saying, our youngest daughter, Nikki - sweet as can be, is one messy little child. It never fails that if she is wearing a white shirt, she is going to spill everything on it. =)
I have tried many different laundry pre-treat/stain removers (OxiClean, Spray ‘N Wash, Zout, Shout, Nature’s Source) and the only thing that I have found that works is Greased Lightning. I mean it REALLY works – on removing a whole tube of lipstick from a light blue jacket, pen markings from blue jeans, chocolate milk from a white shirt, baby formula stains, and all sorts of other stubborn stains. It’s a multi-purpose cleaner/degreaser and can be used for many other cleaning jobs around the house.
So with that being said, go check out there website, print out a coupon & go grab a bottle. Then you can see for yourself what a wonderful product Greased Lightning is.
I added a new page “Shopping Deals” today with various links to trusted sites that we shop from. Many offer free shipping which is a big incentive to us because we can shop from home and signifigantly cut down on gas costs.
The following are just a few of the companies we recommend with great satisfaction:
Greensbury Market – Certified Organic Grass-Fed Beef (and oh so yummy!). Save 20% on the Sampler Pack!
Five days in a row of me doing the FIRM workouts and David running and we are both feeling incredible! We agreed to exercise for 5 days straight then take the weekend off. I decided that I would do the same FIRM workout for 5 days then after my 2 day weekend break, start a new FIRM workout. I’m so excited to get going on Monday now. I think I’m even ready to add heavier weights.
David has been running 6 miles every night and I’m hoping to join him in a few weeks. We both took “before” pictures and will be taking “after” pictures once we have reached a full month of our getting in shape journey. All I can say is The FIRM WORKS for me, running works for David and I can’t wait to see our hard work pay off. =) Read the rest of this entry »
