Disclosure: I received a product to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own. A couple of months ago, I received an email from Cassie Shelton, who is an Independent Distributor of It Works! Have you heard of their products? I hadn’t until she contacted me, and I started checking them out. First, let [...]

You might be thinking that from the title of the post that this is about cards that are made from recycled paper and sustainably-sourced ink. It’s not.

Recently, a very sweet representative from Celadon Road contacted me about doing a review of a couple of their all natural, toxin free household products. The first product I recieved was the allergy-friendly laundry soap in the lavender scent. It might seem like a small amount to review, but really, it was more than [...]
