Let It Shine

Hi my name is Darlene and I am so happy you decided to join my today. With the summer temperatures reaching all time highs it is important to know how to prevent heat stress.  Heat combined with other stresses such as hard physical labor, dehydration, fatigue or pre-existing medical conditions, it can lead to heat-related illness and death. To help you beat the summer heat I have created this list. Try visiting public buildings that are air conditioned. Places like shopping malls, libraries and movie theaters are great for cooling down. Go to the park. All the trees and other plants cool the air. Have a water balloon fight. Take a trip to the beach. Play at a splash pad. Get your water guns out. Run through the sprinkler. Try the  “ Egyptian method. ” Dampen a sheet in cool water and use it as a blanket.  Put your bathing suits on and have a cool bubble bath. Take a cool shower.  Rinsing off under a stream of  c ool water  will br...

Hi. My name is Darlene. I am so glad you are here. Today, I am going to share a short list of things I don't like to spend my money on. Whether you are on a fixed income or the cash is plenty I'm sure there are things you just didn't like to spend your money on too. Here is a list of a few things I like to leave at the store. 1. Cleaning Products I know this might sound bad and you're thinking my place is a cesspool of grim but it really isn't. G enerally cleaning products have some type of fragrance which aggravates my allergies. I get a shooting pain in my sinuses that becomes an over bearing headache that can last for days and sometimes it may lead to a sinus infection and if you've ever had one of those you know it is no picnic in the park. Plus I use microfiber cloths and cleaning products are not needed when you use them. 2. Books & Magazines I love to read a new book and flip through the latest magazine but they are jus...

Hi. I'm Darlene and welcome back. It's great to have you here. Green cleaning is a great way to eliminate toxins from your home, to save money and still get squeaky clean results.  As we all know restocking our home with cleaning products can get very costly. You could easily spend a large chunk of your grocery budget and not have much left over for food so eliminating them from you list can mean huge savings. More importantly by eliminating cleaning products from your home you are protecting your family. The chemicals found in cleaning products can harm skin, eyes, lungs and can be fatal if swallowed. I never liked using harsh chemicals or spending my money on them so the idea of green cleaning was an easy leap for me. Microfiber cloths make green cleaning possible. I know. Microfiber is not a secret. But did you realize that you don't have to use chemicals with these cloths but still get your home clean? Let me explain. For five years I...
