Earth Day is a day set aside to focus on the unique challenges we face today in regards to our environment and our planet. Did you know every year over a billion people in 190 countries around the world participate in Earth Day? That’s a lot of people honoring our great planet. If you want to get involved be sure to check your local resources for Earth Day Events and ways you can participate. But the reality is, we can all try to live a little “greener” everyday by making some small adjustments or changes in the way we do things.

Here are 3 easy ways we can all live a little greener:

1) Save energy. We can do this by trying to reduce our carbon footprint where possible. A cool fact: one person making use of public transportation or choosing to walk/bike just 2 times per week can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,600 pounds per year. Sounds good to me! Also, experts recommend not idling our cars, which not just sends unnecessary pollution into the air, but wastes gas and money. And even something as simple as unplugging appliances when not in use can save you money and energy. Go green by saving energy!

2) Use water efficiently. Some simple suggestions for this are to make sure the dishwasher and washing machine are running full loads. Also, opting to shower instead of taking a bath can save and average of 50-60 gallons of water per day. And by fixing leaky faucets and toilets you are living green. Go green by saving water!

3) Reduce, reuse, recycle. Easy ways to do this is to donate items you don’t need instead of hauling them to the dump. Also, bringing your own bags to the store is a simple step that helps out in a big way. And by maintaining things we already have so we aren’t such a “throw away society” we are living green. (Shameless carpet cleaning plug: cleaning your carpet is living green because they can last years and years longer when properly maintained!) Practice the three “R’s” and you are living green!

There you have 3 easy ways to live green and honor our awesome planet. I hope you have a great month in April and remember Earth Day is April 22, 2014

How Does A Nice Tall Glass Of Green Juice Sound?

Go back in time 5 years ago and if someone offered you a glass of thick green liquid to drink you would have thought they were crazy! Who drank “green juice” besides characters in Dr. Seuss books anyway? (Or maybe that was green eggs? But you know what I mean it was just freaky.) But, fast-forward to today and we have a movement of green juice and green smoothie guzzling happening all around us.

Thanks to people like Kris Carr (www.KrisCarr.com) and Joe Cross (www.RebootWithJoe.com) we are an educated group of juicers and smoothie makers now. In fact, if you haven’t tried your hand at making the green stuff yet, then you need to jump on this healthy bandwagon now.

Green juice and green smoothies are alkalizing, and give you an energy kick that beats any coffee high. Plus, take a look at the people drinking this stuff, their skin glows, their eyes are bright and their hair is shiny. There is something to be said about the results.

People claim going green in their drinking habits can cure ailments and make them feel amazing, but even if you don’t do it for any other reason, other than to put something good into your body everyday, you should give it a shot. Maybe Popeye was onto something…

Try this simple green juice:

-¼ of a pineapple -1 organic cucumber -2 handfuls of spinach -1 lemon -1 small chunk of ginger

Wash and peel the fruits and veggies (you don’t have to peel the cucumber unless it’s not organic) then run them through your juicer and drink up! (If you want it sweeter add a couple of drops of Stevia.)

5 Home Organization Tips To Make Your Spring Cleaning Easy Breezy

Don’t you just feel better when things are organized? I mean who can function when their desk is stacked high with papers or their pantry is so jam packed with bags from Bob’s Red Mill that they keep buying more flours they already own 3 bags of?….Oh wait that’s my pantry not yours. Well here are a few tips for getting your home organized and streamlined from the pantry to the home office:

1. Kitchen: Grab some of those fun drawer organizers from IKEA or Target and get your spices and Tupperware under control. Also, clean up the family junk drawer (everyone has one) and vow to keep it organized this time.

2. Pantry: Use glass jars or bins (or try bpa free plastic) to organize and stack cereals, pastas, and dry baking supplies. (i.e. 10 different kinds of flours from Bobs Red Mill.)

3. Bathrooms: Go through the drawers and cabinets and throw out all expired products. (Keep it “green” by recycling what you can!) Buy some cute colored bins and separate out the hair products from the medicine cabinet and the nail polish from the face wash. When you’re done you’ll be surprised how much easier it is to find a band-aid when you need it.

4. Closets & Drawers: Go through and donate any clothes you haven’t worn in the past year or that don’t fit. (If you are hanging on to a dress you wore to prom in 1989 for sentimental reasons that’s fine just make sure it has a nice spot that’s not causing clutter.) Then organize the hanging clothes by section i.e. sweaters, dresses, blouses, skirts, suits. You can also go short sleeved to long and keep them in color blocks. Drawers can go in groups i.e. underclothing, pj’s, t-shirts, jeans. If your shoes are a problem get some shoe racks so you can see all your shoes and keep them neat.

5. Office: There is no better office organizer than a filing cabinet. Pick up a stack of those manila folders and a sharpie and start organizing your life away. Keep important documents like birth and marriage certificates in an easy to access area. Shred what you don’t really need and file away the rest. If you are really fancy you can go paperless with an electronic storage system. Very cool and very uncluttered.

Don’t get overwhelmed! Start with one small project and work off lists and you might want to invest in a simple label maker to make things even more “Martha Stewart” around your house. And if you don’t have the time yourself you can either higher a professional organizer or simply pay your best friend’s teenager who needs to make a few bucks and has a knack

for organizing things to do it for you. Now let’s get organized!

Sometimes Does It Feel Like You’re Allergic To Being Awake?

“I used to wake up at 4 A.M. and start sneezing, sometimes for five hours. I tried to find out what sort of allergy I had but finally came to the conclusion that it must be an allergy to consciousness.”– Raymond Chandler, American

Writer, 1888-1959, www.thinkexist.com

Hello friends! The quote above from Raymond Chandler is all too familiar to many of us around this time of year. Sometimes it feels like we are allergic to consciousness when there is little relief in sight! We’ve been talking to our clients about the subject of allergies for years and with springtime upon us it’s a good time to review the facts.

Check This Out…

According to The Asthma and Allergy Foundation Of America website 1 in 4 Americans suffer from allergies or asthma. That’s tens of millions of Americans suffering this spring!

And according to WebMD we spend 90% of our time indoors. And our indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air, depending on factors such as whether the residents smoke.

Here is a quote from www.allergyrelief101.com, “Many people think that carpets and allergies are a bad combination. Even some allergists will encourage their patients to remove carpeting in favor of hardwood or tile floors. However, carpets can actually help to reduce the allergens in your home by trapping them, as long as they are properly cleaned on a regular schedule.”

Just Follow This Logic For A Second…

Our carpet traps indoor allergens like dust mites, mold, mildew, fungus, pollens, pet dander and other pollutants and allergens but when that trap gets full, a professional steam cleaning is needed to remove those allergens from your carpet and your home. Result? You can have relief from allergy symptoms related to those substances.

We’ve heard it time and again from clients – carpet cleaning does relieve some allergy symptoms. So until there is a “cure” there is only prevention. Prevent yourself from having polluted indoor air – clean your carpets today.

Do you know anyone with

seasonal allergies? Please have them call us & we will give them a FREE room of carpet cleaning in your name! (up to 200 sq. ft. of carpet, new clients only) P.S. We will send you a $10 Gift Certificate for your referral...So THANKS in advance!!
