Shaklee review and Giveaway!!!

**This giveaway is closed**

Bonnie from House of Grace sent me a sample of

Shaklee's Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate to try out.

If you have read my blog for more than a minute you know that I am a fan of natural,

non-toxic cleaning and use vinegar, lemon and baking soda to clean my home.


I found this on their website:

Our mission at Shaklee is to provide a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone. We do it by making natural products that are so exceptional, you just have to tell your friends. Every product that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to improve health, work without compromise, and be gentle on the planet.


When you pick Shaklee, you will know three things to be true.
It is always safe. It always works. And it is always green.

Needless to say I was pretty stoked to give this stuff a try!!!

This is what came in the mail.

And this is what was inside that little package...can you BELIEVE that?

It's so tiny!

I got my dollar store spray bottles out and followed the directions.

The sample made a bottle of window cleaner and an all purpose cleaner.

All from that tiny little vial and some water.

Now that's some crazy concentrated stuff!!!

Okay, so let's see what this stuff can do, shall we?

Here is my fingerprint covered fridge before.

Here is a close up of the goo that my son deposits daily.

And here is the fridge after cleaning it with the Basic H2.

So clean and shiny!

It helped quite a bit with the hard water stains on the water dispenser too.

From what I have seen I think Shaklee's Get Clean Scour Off 

would probably finish up this job;)

Here's the T.V, covered with cracker goo, fingerprints

and lick marks from the toddler and the dog:

T.V. Before.

 I sprayed on the Basic H2 window cleaner, wiped it down...

And here is the AFTER!

Shiny and Goo-less.

Okay, so I saved the grossest one for last. Don't look Anna! ;)

This is the sink in the master bathroom:

Before.

I can't believe I posted this...so gross!

 I sprayed it with Basic H2 and easily wiped away the grime.

After.

Ahhhh, so clean!

I must say that I am impressed.

Wanna give this stuff a try yourself?

Of course you do, that was a silly question!

{Day 13} Medicine Cabinet

Okay, so I am way behind on the challenge and am catching up during nap times;) I am also doing them out of order, which if you know me at all, drives me crazy!!! *Deep breath*

Here is my 3 part medicine cabinet before:

#1

#2

#3

 I took everything out, tossed what needed to go and separated the rest into categories: body, face, hair. Then I wiped off the shelves and put everything back.

#1

Hair products and perfume.

#2

Face stuff and deodorant. 

The glass jars that hold my makeup brushes are upcycled candle jars.

#3

Husbands stuff.

I was so happy to get this done! 

It felt so good that I did the bathroom drawers,

as well as the storage closet in the bathroom.

{Day 5} Under the sink

Here is the Before:

So cluttered and dirty!

I took everything out, wiped out the cupboard, 

and sorted the cleaners that needed to stay.

 Here is the After:

I found a bin to put all my cleaners in to keep them corralled, placed all plastic bags into one bag(I plan to make a bag holder soon), and stacked the paper bags next to that.

Doesn't look like much of a difference, but it feels so good!

{Day 3} Tupperware Cupboard

I am behind on this challenge, but I had a sick baby for 5 days which threw off my cleaning groove. I am doing my best to catch up;)

I decided to switch my Tupperware cabinet with another one, 

so I ended up doing two cabinets!

Plastics BEFORE:

This is the cabinet that held my Tupperware.

Glass BEFORE:

This one had my corning ware and mixing bowls.

I decided to switch them.

I pulled everything out of both cupboards, wiped them out, sorted all the pieces and 

tossed all the pieces that had no buddy.

I corralled all the lids into black baskets that I picked up at the Dollar Tree. 

Not the best quality baskets, but they do the trick;)

Glass AFTER:

Now I just need to put the childproof latch on this door 

to keep all my glass safe and organized.

Plastic AFTER:

This one will not stay organized.

You can see that I could not even take an after photo without the boy 

being all up in there pulling stuff out. ;)

This is my life and I love it.

Day 2 of the 21 Day Organizing Challenge

Challenge #2-Your computer desk top

I don’t have a computer desk, so I decided to do my scrapbooking desk instead. It needed a little attention since my love of sewing has taken over my free time;)

See what I mean? Poor neglected baby!

Look at that mess!

Look what I found amongst the chaos! It’s my label maker! Yippy!

Here she is all cleared off and washed clean.

This is my favorite photo that I have taken…ever.

This is what is inside that little blue bag. They are paper weights that my hubby got me from Red Envelope. “You rock” is my favorite:)

I reused storage containers that I already had, and here is the final result! YAY!

  It makes me want to scrapbook:)

A clear literature holder keeps my newest scrap magazine in sight and in mind, post it tabs for marking favorites, sketch binder, and note cards.

These jars are by Making Memories. I love to be able to see all the little pretties.

These hold more embellishments and are actually votive holders that I purchased at Walmart.

See the pink glitter? Oh, I have plans for her!

So now all I want to do is sit at that desk. 

Maybe I will be able to start scrapping again soon.

Day 1 of the 21 Day Organizing Challenge.

Challenge Completed! Whew!

Today's challenge was to clean out a junk drawer. I am terrified of junk drawers because things go in there and they multiply and make plans to take over the world. True story.

I chose to do 3 drawers because they were rather small and they were all in the same piece of furniture so it just felt wrong to grab just one.

Okay, so these were the drawers I instantly thought of when I read today's homework. I literally could not cram any more crap into them...believe me, I tried!

I dumped all three drawers out and then spread everything out.

I was shocked at the stuff I found in there:

17 Batteries

2 Light bulbs

1 Egg Dying Kit

23 Keys(most a mystery)

4 Hand Sanitizers

1 Pocket Tissues

3 Hair ties

1 Barrette

4 Guitar Picks

2 boxes of Snaps

1 Jeans Button

and so many other random things!

Do you see the date on this???

(Said like Chandler from FRIENDS)

#1. Christmas paper from LAST YEAR.

#2. Invitation to a school carnival from 2008. Yep, that's right. 2008.

Here are my neat and tidy drawers!

#1. Handheld Video Games and Chargers

#2. Flashlights, Binoculars(you never know when you will need these), hand sanitizers, tissues and lint roller.

#3. Phone manual, chargers and bowl of keys.

YAY! This feels so gooooooood!

Wanna play?
