The Wellness Swap

Wait....why are we filling the dishwasher detergent cup ALL the way up? 👀

I think we've all been conditioned to believe that more detergent = cleaner dishes.

But what if you actually need less?

Diamond Brite gel is super concentrated, so you use half the amount unlike other dishwasher detergents.

That caught my attention because I'm always looking for ways to make the products I already buy go further.

And let's be honest.....

If I'm paying for a product just to pour a huge amount of it into the dishwasher every time, I'd rather find an option where a little goes a longer way. 🙌

Plus, it's enzyme powered to help break down food soils and stains, which is exactly what I want when I'm putting dirty dishes in that machine. 😂

Be honest.... when you use dishwasher detergent, are you a 'fill it to the line' person, or a 'just a little should be enough' person? 😂👇

When your energy says I'm done, but your to-do list says absolutely not! 😂

That afternoon slump hits different when you are trying to balance life, family, and everything you're trying to build. 😩

I've started keeping grape b-fuel around for those moments when I want a little pick me up and still have things to get done, but don't want another coffee. ☕

And honestly, the grape flavor makes it one of my favorites. 🍇

I'm all about finding simple things that fit into real life. Not trying to be perfect, just finding better options that work for me. 🙂

✨Be honest! What time does your energy usually disappear throughout the day?
12pm? 2pm? 3pm? 5pm? ✨

What if your hairspray could hold your style without feeling like hair spray? 🤩

I don't know about you, but I want to be able to have my hairspray hold my style without feeling like you could crack my hair in half. Ladies you know that feeling I'm talking about. I mean let's be real! Nobody wants to feel like they have a layer of product over their hair. 🫤

And I found the solution by accident when I decided to give Sei Bella's hair setting spray a try. After I use it, my hair is still moveable, yet stays in place when I use it to do my hair. And there's no need for over spraying until my hair feels like I'm wearing a helmet just to get it to stay in place. 🙂

✨ What's the one thing that you hate about hairspray?✨

💥 Feeling like you are wearing a helmet?
💥 The residue?
💥 Over spraying so your style stays in place?
💥 Or it doesn't even hold your hair style?

Small changes often start with simple curiosity. 🤔

Have you ever tried a sugar substitute? We all know that sugar is not good for us, especially when using a lot of it. I've known of people that won't use sugar due to health issues, so they use a substitute. But not all of them are good. 😂

One day I was at a restaurant years ago with a friend. And you know those little sugar caddies with the different sugar packets. Splenda, I believe, is the one I was curious to try. I just remember those baby pink packets. I put some in my coffee and it was terrible. 😭 That's not something I could switch to for cutting back on sugar. 😂

Then not that long ago I heard about monk fruit sweetener. And most of the time when you find it in the grocery store it will say monk fruit and erythritol on the package. So I used it one day when I was making a pitcher of tea because I was curious after hearing people claim it tastes like sugar. And let me tell you, it does. It's something that is easy to switch to for a sugar replacement. It all started with a little curiosity. 😋

✨ What is one area that you have become more intentional about? Household products? Skincare? Hair care? Supplements?✨

If your styling gel leaves your hair feeling crunchy....we need to talk. 🗣️

Imagine believing that you just have to deal with crunchy hair every time you use hair products. Every time I style my hair with hair products, once it dries, it leaves a crunchy, stiff feeling. Ladies you know what I'm talking about! My hair is thick, which means I need a little extra product in my hair to keep it's hold. But then it gets stiff! 🫤

So I always look for hair products that work with the thickness of my hair, controls the frizz, and doesn't leave the stiff, crunchy texture after it dries. It's a lot less frustrating doing my hair when finding a product to fit my personal criteria. 😁

✨ What type of struggles do you have with your hair? Do you also hate that crunchy texture? Or humidity causing major frizz? Maybe something else?✨

Have you ever had a moment where you started looking at everyday choices differently? 💚

I've had several moments like these. Years ago someone told me about the wellness store. She loved the products, especially the spot remover. I've had several moments where I learned about product ingredients that just honestly made me cringe. 😩

Fast forward to a few months ago in April, and I was scrolling in a homeschool mom's group here on Facebook. Someone posted asking about what mom's do from home. Found a comment that caught my interest about products with safer ingredients. So I reached out. 📲

She got back to me the next day and I realized it was the same wellness company I heard about. I decided in that moment that I could also help others make informed choices about the products they bring into their homes. 🏠 Just like I did. And I started my journey.

✨ Have you ever made a small change that made a big difference? I'd love to hear about it. ✨

One simple swap. One better choice. 💜

I used to think shampoo was just shampoo. Then I learned about product ingredients. I have someone close to me who's sister actually downloaded an app that scans product ingredients and it will tell you if that product has any toxic ingredients in it. I personally don't have the app, but I might want to get it. Idk what it's called, but if you really want to know I will ask her. 👌

This was maybe like a few months ago that this person was telling me about her sister using this app. The main thing I remember is her telling me that her sister scanned a bottle of shampoo, and if I remember correctly, it was a pretty popular brand. 🧐

She was telling me how the app discovered there was harsh ingredients in this particular shampoo brand and I remember her even saying the effects it caused, like causing the scalp to break out, and hair falling out. Idk if the app told her that, or if she just researched it after using the app. 📲

Now I don't have to worry about that because I switched brands. I actually got this shampoo as one of my free products, and I'm glad I did cuz I might not have thought about ordering it. 📦

✨ What's one product that you switched to because you wanted a better option for you, or your family? ✨

One bottle of each, replaces all of these cleaners. Plus, the ingredients are safer and cleaner. 🌿

Check out these bath and body swaps. I recommend the Affinia products. Reasonable prices and smell great. 🙂
