My Sparkling Shower

06/26/2021

Sparkling shower
I used to dread having to clean the glass shower doors and walls. After showering, I’d use a squeegee but it always left streak marks. Then I went to visit my sister and noticed she had a solution in her shower that she had bought from the store. All you have to do is spray it on—no wiping even necessary. Just spray the entire shower down real good. When it dries… voilà.

Being the confirmed user/believer of Shaklee’s inexpensive, effective, bio-degradable cleaners that I am, I looked at the ingredients on my sister’s spray cleaner and decided to make my own using Shaklee. I bought a heavy-duty spray bottle and started searching the web. I found a recipe that included Blue Dawn and a dishwasher rinse aid, neither of which I wanted to use. So I devised my OWN recipe and it works great! My husband(who is very fastidious, by the way) tried it out this morning and after the shower was dry, he was AMAZED! As he said, “no muss no fuss!

Here is the recipe for my Sparkling Shower*
2 cups water
1/2 cup Hydrogen peroxide
1/2 cup Isopropyl alcohol
1/2 tsp Basic H2

*If your shower doors are grungy, you may want to gently clean them first with Shaklee’s Scour Off, using lots of water and small amounts of Scour Off on a sponge. Once you get it clean the first time, you may never need to deep clean your shower again if you use the Sparkling Shower no-rinse recipe!

We’re gettin’ good at this wheat grass thing. Sometimes we grind it with our hand grass grinder; other times, we juice it with celery, carrots, green apples, etc. One tray of grass 7” high should produce 12-16 ounces of juice. We also use scoops of the Shaklee Organic Greens Booster or we make green drinks with spinach or fresh kale and chard from our garden! Dr. Brouse once told me I should make greens the cornerstone of my diet. I’m doing my best to follow his recommendation!

FB post from Rod Larkin...

As most of you know, I've been a full-time Shaklee business owner for 39 years. I don't make many posts about my Shaklee business on my personal wall. But every now and then I share something that can be really helpful for many.

2 weeks ago, Shaklee launched an incredible new probiotic supplement call Optoflora DI-- Digestive and Immune health. It contains 4 strains of healthy bacteria totaling 10 Billion CFU, clinically tested to survive stomach acid giving your intestine 100% delivery, and requires no refrigeration. 1 simple capsule daily does amazing things for your health!

Here are 2 testimonials-- 1 from a friend of mine, and MY own after just 1 week of taking this incredible product.....

"This is my sixth day on OptiFlora DI …. I’m in total disbelief with my results so far! I won’t bore you with all the things I have tried for my digestive challenges through the years, but to make a very long and discouraging story short, I finally resorted to taking Lemon Juice and Baking Soda once or twice a day. Enter OptiFlora DI …. I received immediate relief and no need for the baking soda solution. I’m very encouraged that I have finally found a real solution!

"I started the Optiflora DI while at the Shaklee conference in Las Vegas last week when I was eating very poorly …. “Fettuccine Alfredo”, Scones, Hamburger, all foreign foods to me normally! I’m surprised “Ice Cream” was not in this list!! That will be another test as I love Ice Cream but it is NOT good for my stomach at all! Even the healthier yogurts give me trouble …. had yogurt yesterday to test it out. No issues!!" Lorri K.

I have suffered with a low level chronic pain in my lower right gut for more than 14 years. Nothing has ever helped get rid of it and I resigned myself to being something I just had to live with. I started taking the new Optiflora DI on August 20, 1 capsule a day. The pain in my gut went away 4 days ago after just 7 days on this new product-- a pain that has existed for 14 years gone in just 7 days. I can't begin to tell you what a relief this is." Rod Larkin

Feel free to PM me if you would like more info about this amazing new Shaklee product.

Started the year out with a wonderful and exciting Shaklee event with billionaire company owner, Roger Barnett. Best talk I've heard him give. So excited about my next 100 Amazing days!

26 years working for an engineering/manufacturing company that makes earthquake equipment made me very aware of the need to store water for emergencies. Everyday I saw the monitors displaying earthquakes around the world. So Cal has multiple earthquakes every single day; they are small ones along the multiple faults. But larger ones are expected any time. We just don't know when. I've found just about the easiest way to store water there is. The picture shows the container that you can purchase at Walmart in the camping section. It holds six gallons--just about enough for one person for a week. It's BPA free, has a spout, is easy enough to fill from the bathtub with no need to add any chemicals. (There's enough chlorine coming from the tub water so the water will stay fresh about six months.) And, it's not too heavy for me to lift out of the tub after I fill it. It takes up so little space. PLEASE replace your light-weight plastic water bottles! They're inexpensive (around $12 ea) This is not a commercial for Walmart, just a great solution. REMEMBER NEW ORLEANS!

Someone wanted to try the non-soy smoothie drink but didn't like the taste. I'll admit I don't think it's as good as the soy but I decided to make something that tasted good out of it. Here's what I made. Protein candy. Yum!

Just read that a large percent of adults don't eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables per day. I know YOU'RE not part of that group...my friends and family are all health aware but if you know someone that is not part of the small percent who DO eat their veggies, please message or email me ([email protected]). Remember, french fries and ketchup don't count!

These look great--and healthy! I often do the raw zucchini with my own version of pesto. Yummy! Let me know if you try any of these...

All of the (veggie) pasta, none of the carbs.

Establishing relationship with new dentist. She was amazed that my 70-year-old teeth and gums are in such good shape with no bleeding whatsoever. Even though the dentist was busy, I had an opportunity to mention Vivix and a few health tips. She shared some of her own. We had a great discussion and her assistant said, "Wow! I learned so much. You should come again soon!"
