Love this Tracy, very informative and a good choice, keep up the information, it really can't hurt to go green! we really try! :)
I have totally enjoyed your posts this week. You definitely have me thinking I need to replace a few items in our home. Thanks for putting the work in for everyone else to benefit from. :) Love you!
Wow, I would love for you to continue these posts. I am truly trying to rid my house of chemicals, especially now that I have three little ones running around.
What do you use to clean the kitchen sink and the tub?
well count me in!!! I'm such a fan of Burt's Bees and Mrs. Meyers products... haven't tried the others, but I would love to! Being a constant clean freak, I have enjoyed your posts and realize that I need to convert from all these chemical based products to the natural stuff, especially before the newbies come. Keep up the good work! We are all benefiting from your info!!!!!!! xx
I am a big fan of Burt's Bees as well as Mrs. Meyers. I've yet to try the others but I try and use green products all the time. Such a great giveaway. thanks!
I've enjoyed the posts too, as I am making it a goal to be more healthy. Your posts have been eye opening!
I love these posts, Trace! They're SO educational and IMPORTANT!! Our house is changing their ways from them! C's been reading and is totally on board, too (Looove it!)
What an UHMAZING giveaway! Consider it Tweet'ed
xoxoxox
So here's my separate comment cuz I want to win so badly that's not "hey I tweet'ed" :)
I have reread these posts like 5 times. You totally encouraged me to purchase additional Melaleuca products (I bought their spring cleaning special and now have 6 new cleaning products on the way!) I am tossing all the old chemical enhanced ones I have! Today C is picking up our glassware and we're getting rid of the plastic tupperware.
I just wanted to sincerely THANK YOU for this education that I've wanted but haven't done for myself.
I'm sold!! It's crazy the trust we automatically give to companies without reading the fine print.....I've always just assumed if it's on the Wal-Mart shelf, it can't be bad for me or else they wouldn't sell it.
..yeah, pretty dumb. So thank you for opening my eyes.
i've been seriously trying to decide where i start for the spring cleaning this would be wonderful to win! hope you are well! xo susan
i am loving this series of posts. i think it fits perfectly with your blog motto. taking better care of ourselves and our daughters, is definitely "loving pretty things"!!
love you, love it!
Hello. This is my first post as I JUST came accross your wonderful blog. Yes, I love to win. It is, especially because I read the Whole Living magazine this week. It features the ways to be green because April is the month to celebrate the Earth day. I started becoming aware of my house items; so, I would like to try the items you listed. Thank you so much for the information on being green!
Wow! You have provided wonderful information! You have truly inspired me to watch what I buy & to just throw away all the chemicals I have & start fresh...
Thank you! I love reading your blog & best wishes on your upcoming wedding! :)

Wooooonderful!
I love these collection, it makes sense to use them!
Love it

Hi again!
Oops! I mentioned a wedding...Sorry, I got confused...
I read way too many blogs...lol :)
P.S... I have started clearing out my cleaners, making way for the good stuff...
:)
Oh I love this post! I am all about cleaning green. I am so glad that it's becoming more common. It is so very important that we start taking a look @ what is under our kitchen sink as so much of it is toxic and actually all together not necessary. Do you ever clean with microfiber? I sell Norwex Enviro Products; they allow you to clean and disinfect your entire home using ONLY WATER. They save time, money and the environment! Check it out at www.CarriesNorwex.com I'd love your feedback on my site & the products we offer. BTW... we use & love the JR Watkins Handsoap & Burts Bees is the Bomb!! Their lip balm is in every room of my house :-)
Following you! I love talking Green :-)
hello! i am now a follower! i am so happy that you have listed links-i cannot stop reading! this is such an important topic in our family! thank you! :) ann-marie
Detoxing is so important. I think you should keep posting on the topic. With a newborn I'm even more concerned with avoiding unnecessary chemicals than ever before.
Hi! Cleaning in a healthy way is something we have been practicing for a while. I would love to hear more about different products! Love Meyers and all of their wonderful scents! Thanks for a great giveaway...I am following along!
~Julia
I was worried when you showed the IKEA containers, I just bought two sets... Yay, I read your post and they are BPA free! I have to call my daughter she bought two sets too.
Came over from Humble Pie!

You've got me thinking green..I would love to try these products..count me in!

I have recently come to the realization that i need to switch my household to these non-chemical plant-based cleaners as well. I am a huge fan of the Mrs. Meyers products but would love the opportunity to try some others (without breaking the bank!) Thanks for the informative posts. You've really convinced me that I need to make these changes a priority. Thanks!
LOVE these postings on natural "stuff". This giveaway is awesome and I would love love love to win.

Awesome! Thanks for reminding us all to love and protect our Earth. :)
thanks for the chance! love the collection of green goods! inspiring me to clean out the underneath of my sink cabinet! xoxo's nancy
I love your post - so glad I found your blog. I want to win :)
So important! Thanks for sharing your favorites. I'd love to win!
What a fantastic give-a-way. Please enter my name too.
I already use some of these products. Last night I made a home made window cleaner with rubbing alcohol, vinegar and water. I cleaned a few windows this morning since it is an overcast day and that alone helps prevents streaking. I think I am going to add some lemon or lavender to add a nice fresh scent.
I am all about green cleaning.
What a great idea to inform everyone about this. I personally already use the Mrs. Meyer's products, and LOVE them. Especially the smell.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh Tracy we must share the same shopping basket!!! Your items are all my favorite, must live with, go to items too!!
too sweet of a giveaway!!! big hugs,

Love your detox posts. I have been really trying to be as natural as possible lately. I am trying to use more natural cleaners, make-up, deodorant... I think it is so worth it. We switched to a steam mop rather than floor cleaner because I have dogs and an infant that will be crawling on those floors soon and the last thing I want are those paws, toes and fingers going in mouths with chemical on them! No good! Thanks for the posts and giveaway, such good information!
Found you from Humble Pie! Just found Mrs. Meyers available here in Canada at Canadian Tire....was thrilled! I am all about cleaning green!
Maureen
Oh my, I love, love, love these products...esp. the burt's bee's goodies!
.........and I'm back...I'm now a follower of yours too! Love your blog!
Tracy, I get sick literally from cleaning products. However, I did not know it was these products that were making me feel sick. So I tried some Method products, also Watkins, and I really like them. Thank you for your post. I am a clean freak and I am glad to know that I don't have to poison myself in order to keep a clean home.
I am a big fan of all these products! I think they work well and I would be very happy to win these products~Cheers Kim

Thanks for putting all this info on green cleaning in a series. It is all great stuff I always find that my micro fiber towels help make it easier no matter which product I use.
There is so much I don't know. I'm knew and appreciate the info.
I had just started changing my cleaners.
Thanks :)

I would love to win something like this! I was just thinking the other day about this topic and think more of us need to post about it and make an effort to spread the word. SO many things in our environment are toxic, and we don't realize it. I'm a teacher and at work I try to wear a rubber glove when using Lysol wipes to clean tables....it just freaks me out how those chemicals are seeping into my skin (which is the body's biggest organ, right??)
Great giveaway!

Hi again!
Just wanted to mention that I went and purchased Watkins lemon scented cleaner and I love it! I have also purchased Meyers before... I love them both...oh, also bought some Burts Bees lip balm... :) Such a great feeling knowing I am using healthy products around myself and my family!
I will certainly keep following your blog! Love it!
~Karissa
I've enjoyed these posts. It's nice to think of my home as a safe haven.

I would love to try the 7th genereation wipes. I've been buying the Costco Kirkland brand wipes and they just gag me, they smell so toxic. I hope I win! thanks
