Make Your Own Air Freshener

 The smell of fresh lemons made Rita swoon.

Air fresheners can be pricey as well as leaving us with those unwanted chemicals in the air. We are never quite sure what we are breathing these days are we?

How to Make My Own Air Freshener:
*2 cups hot water
*1/8 cup baking soda (baking soda is great for removing odors)
*1/2 cup lemon juice (bottled lemon juice works fine as well)

Dissolve your baking soda completely in the hot water. Then add your lemon juice. Pour the lemon juice slowly because you will get a fizzing reaction. Put your mixture into a spray bottle and get to smelling fresh! Just a side note, we recommend using it for only a week or so. Remember, it has no preservatives.

The Facts on Printed Paper

Now that the Leopold's business went green and paperless he lacked the confidence he once had. He wondered if SKYPE made his face look fat.















Approximately 2.8 pages of office paper are printed world wide!
The Good News: Nearly 4 times that amount are being confined to a computer screen. Great new for trees but I think we can do better!

Organic Success

Lana looked for more ways to elevate her mind
 above the dark swirling cerebral cloud,
"Hmmm, I wonder what's on the SP Network?" She pondered.
The SP Network discusses success in it's most organic form. Packed with information, I am just glued to it! All natural adhesive, that is.
This is great for anyone looking or wanting to stay motivated in positive thinking!
All online...we don't use up gas or waste paper. Love it!

Instant Spot Removing for the Clueless

Ruprick's mind went blank. He was clueless what to do 
about that Hawaiian Tikki Punch Stain he left on Vita's rug.
"If I ignore it maybe it well go away." Ruprick considered.

Unsightly spills soiling your rugs and carpets? Don't buy expensive chemicals, the answer is right there in your kitchen cabinet. Whenever a spill happens simply pour a healthy dousing of table salt over the spill. Salt is a natural disinfectant and will pull up that spill right before your eyes! Let is set for at least 24 hours or until the salt is dry and vacuum it up! TA-DA! No stain!
