Have you tried Mean Green Degreaser?  It’s so excellent, and works on multiple surfaces. For example, my daughter used it, this morning, to get the black gunk off of her car, from the road.  We live in Pennsylvania, and had a snow storm last night.  She stayed at my parent’s house, and stopped here on the way to school, to pick up the Mean Green. I use Mean Green on everything.  From my windows, to cleaning the thermometer, to cleaning cabinets.  I’ve even used it to get stains out of clothes.  Just rub a little on the stain, and put in the wash, and presto, the stain is out. If you have something that needs cleaned, try some Mean Green, you won’t regret it.  I guarantee you will switch from whatever brand you are using.  I love Mean Green so much.  I’ve switched completely.  Threw out all the other cleaners that I was using.  Because this one product can do everything.  So, why have 10 bottles under the sink?  I go to my Mean Green Super Strength for every dirty job I have. You should take a look, at the chart above.  It tells you exactly how good Mean Green…

I have grown very fond of Fox Chapel Publishing, and the products they have.  Especially the following Woodstock Journals.  There are so many to choose from, and each one is unique.  Woodstock will be celebrating 50 years in 2018, and you can order your cool journals now, from Amazon. The journal, pictured above, is Woodstock Dot Journal.  There are dots on the pages, to make it easy to prepare graphs, set to do lists, etc.  I love this journal, and have started planning for my future, with it.  The Tye Dyed design is amazing, and the Peace, Love, Music saying is outstanding.  This is by far my favorite journal I’ve ever owned.

Seabuck Wonders is an amazing product that I recently discovered. The Hair, Skin & Nails Veggie Pills are wonderful.  They have made my brittle nails so strong, and my hair is thicker.  I’m noticing the changes, and it’s only been a few weeks.  I’ve been wanting to try Hair, Skin, & Nails pills, but was afraid to buy them.  Seabuck Wonders is a great brand.  I will continue to use this product, because I’ve had a tremendous outcome. The Body Lotion is amazing, as well.  It has made my dry skin feel so silky smooth.  My husband loves it.  My skin is no longer hard, and flaky.  I’m now silky smooth.

Biz Stain Fighter is amazing.  I was introduced to it, by my mother.  She’s been using it, since I was a kid.  She is an avid user, and she tells everyone she knows about it.  So, now here’s my chance.  Biz is a great multi purpose product.  You can get out mildew smell, remove stains, brighten your wash, etc., all with this one product. My wife recently got blood on her pants, and you know how hard blood is to remove, well with Biz, it came right out.  I rubbed a little on, and wala, it was out.  I also used Biz in the wash, to make sure that the stain stayed gone, and the other clothes weren’t affected.  I believe it’s a miracle worker. Mud stains, from my 6 year old, removed with Biz.  It truly is unbelievable, until you try it for yourself. My mom said that my aunt came to visit, and she brought a bag of wet clothes, which smelled like mildew.  One capful of Biz, and the mildew smell, and stains, were out. There are several varieties of Biz.  You can get a powder, liquid, booster (packets), or pen.  My go to is the liquid, that…
