its time to "get clean".

I am not sure who of you are using natural cleaners (meaning NOT full of chemicals! lol). I had previously been using things like tide, Windex, and toilet bowl cleaner and something really strong smelling to clean the bath tub. My husband works in a field where he is always coming home dirty with grinding dust and we are always trying to keep the tub clean.

Well a few weeks ago, I was at the kids swap meet (not where you swap kids, but can purchase used kids clothing for cheap!) and a woman asked me if I wanted to enter her draw. Normally I pass, as I am not one to win anything, but it was interesting and i figured what the heck. She called me two weeks later to let me know that i had won laundry soap. She came over, gave me the information about it, its all natural no chemicals at all and good for the environment. I said I would give it a try. She also gave me something that was an alternative to bleach. Figured I would try that too.

Well the next day I tried it, and i will tell you guys I will NEVER go back to anything but this stuff. My clothes felt so much nicer, cleaner, and "lighter" if you will. I immediately placed an order for this stuff called "scour off". I figured anything that would clean the bathtubs without leaving toxins in the tub when I bath my kids would be great! Well turns out, this stuff works well for other things too. I actually have tea cups, and they stain easily and its IMPOSSIBLE to get the stain out. My dad's wife actually soaked them in bleach and finally got them clean. Well I took this scour off, swiped a cloth on it with it being damp, swiped inside the cup and VOILA! It was magic! Same thing with my white kitchen sink. Most of the stains are gone and it looks even better than it did when we first moved in.

I have been so impressed with these products (and the price) that I have been basically telling everyone who will listen about my experience. This one bottle of H2 liquid was only 10.00 (Canadian) and it can literally be mixed with water and make over 5000 bottles of Windex! If you wanted to only make all purpose cleaner, it would make 200 bottles!! Can you believe that! And its all natural, no chemical smell, nothing toxic and works amazing! (and inexpensive as well)

Now that I have told you about this so far, what does it have to do with trying to conceive you might add? EVERYTHING! For those of you who are trying to conceive and so far are having delays and or been diagnosed with unexplained fertility, what if its the "environment" your in that is causing havoc? What if the chemicals you are using and breathing in, is actually causing some of your problems/delays?

If you have time, watch these videos, I found them to be VERY informative

The name of the company is called Shaklee. Its been around for 50 years. I am not currently selling this and so do not make any money of course off mentioning this company but I always feel that i need to pass a good thing on so that other people can have the same wonderful experience. I just might start selling it on the side as this is how much I believe in their product! It gives me a better piece of mind as well knowing that I am doing something good for myself and my family and cutting out some of the toxins in our house.

If anyone is interested in finding out more about the products, or wanting to purchase some, let me know and I can help point you in the right direction! cheri22@gmail.com just put blog post in the subject line so I can locate it.

PS, did you know that they did a study, and that 54% percent of the woman who plan/are stay at home moms are a higher risk of getting cancer than woman who work outside of the home?

if you got to the end of this post, put your name in the comment section and win a reading with BROOKE777! Winner announced on SUNDAY as usual!

Novembers Special of the month!

I already have an idea for December too, but here is the November special!

I figure that this month, if you purchase the 25.00 bypass you will get not only 4 questions from me (can be life questions or related to ttc/pregnancy) but you will also get 2 tarot card readings by Lyuda (shes the new psychic on the block who I think you will all enjoy). To top off this November special, you will ALSO get a "reiki" session where I will go over your energy/auras/chakras and clear them for you. This will at times help relieve stress and tension in your life, help your chakras back into alignment, and perhaps even show any indication if there is anything blocking your ttc efforts. For me to be able to perform this treatment on you, I will require a full body shot of yourself (no sun glasses or hats in the picture please and yes, you need to be fully clothed! lol) The reiki session will last from 10-15 minutes and will be included with your completed reading. So anything that was felt to be connected to your body or mind etc will be listed in your reading for you to keep an eye on. Usually instantly or within 24-48 hours you should feel "better" you should feel more "relief" and I have heard from some people that even feeling more spiritually awakened after having this performed.

To take advantage of this offer, you need to purchase the 25.00 family bypass reading. You will need to send me an email right after and in the subject line please list NOVEMBER SPECIAL. This will allow me to schedule your reading in connection with Lyuda and ensure that I have the right picture for the Reiki session.

If you have any questions about this special of the month before you make a purchase, please email me at cheri22@gmail.com with NOVEMBER SPECIAL QUESTION in the subject line. This will allow me to locate it and respond to it asap.

Dont forget about tomorrow!

Just reminding those of you who read the blog, that tomorrow (October 23rd) is the last day of this month that the October special is good for! To take advantage of this offer, you need to email me on OCTOBER 23rd and in the subject line needs to say OCTOBER SPECIAL or your email wont be noticed! ( I get quite a bit of emails each day and might not realize your looking for the October special connected to this blog without this subject line!)

In your email, you need to include if this is a trying to conceive prediction, or a pregnancy one and what pregnancy number your working on. Please include any losses you might have experienced (this is IMPORTANT!) Remember, this reading is the "free" reading and is NOT indepth. You will ONLY be provided with a month and gender connection. If you would like a further indepth answer to either a life question or a child to come or already here, please choose one of the bypass options from my site instead (www.cheri22.com)

Now please note, as I have no control over how many people might have read this blog or take advantage of this offer, there might be a time delay in getting your response. Be patient. As long as your email comes in on OCTOBER 23rd and has OCTOBER SPECIAL located in the subject line you WILL get your prediction. Just might take me some time to get to it.

Its been a rough two nights. Little baby not sleeping well. Some friends of mine suggested perhaps teething? Its possible as shes starting to 'attack" her toys a bit more lol. I was told that putting gripe water on her gums is soothing.. anyone else have any ideas that might help?

October's Special of the Month!

Figured I would post on the first day of October and wish you a happy October! Okay, sounds kinda funny, but I know not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving in October! My husband, and his parents have decided during the Thanksgiving long weekend to do a pig roast. I believe that alot of people in various parts that this is a big tradition (not for thanksgiving, but just the pig roast). This will technically be my second one. I went to a 16th birthday party to a friend of mine (who was originally from the Philippines) and they had a pig on the table. I was too afraid to eat it. Sounds funny I know. First off, I am not a huge meat eater. I like chicken, ham, hamburger, and now ribs, but other than that, I just dont eat it. Nothing against it, just not one for the texture of the other meats. So I would not eat the pig. I am having troubles even thinking about trying this one. I am trying to be open to new foods (gosh was I a picky eater as a child) but still can't get past that its a pig, and I have been told its a "small" pig, to me which translates to a baby pig :( Any advice? Do you think anyone would notice if I just ate the other things and not the pig? lol

Okay, for October special, I think that I will do something for the people who are looking for the free requests, something "special". For October, the people looking for a free request will be completed on the following days. October 9th & October 23rd. These are the days that if a free request comes in, they will be taken care of. The information provided in these readings are gender and month of connection only and indepth information is not included. What they are getting is the wait bypassed. I am currently working on March 2008 free requests and working to get them completed as well. If you email on October 9th and 23rd, I will respond right away with your free request answered. In the subject line, must be located "OCTOBER SPECIAL". This will allow me to connect it to the blog post and know that it needs to be taken care of asap!

So again, if the email is dated October 9th and October 23rd, your free request will be answered and the wait bypassed. Only month and gender will be included and you must have OCTOBER SPECIAL in the subject line.

If this is confusing (its after 11pm here on the 30th of sept and I am past my bedtime) and does not make sense, please post in the comment sections of this blog, and I will explain it better. (or email cheri22@gmail.com)

Another offer from one of my clients to you...

I am sure that you have all seen the post before from Krystal and her "adult" store, and offering discounts. Some of you might not have been able to take advantage of her offer because of location, so another woman (who actually started doing this through Krystal) would like to offer the readers some deals as well. (Shes in a different location than Krystal)

here is what she has to say:

I was going through your old blogs trying to find the one you posted about your friend Krystal and I finally found it! I actually went to her website when you posted your blog.... hosted a party and I'm now also a brown bag party consultant! I dont think my party was referred to her since I live in Southern California (not sure where she lives.. but I tried!)

I know the 3 most common reasons for failed marriages are: money, communication... and of course, infidelity. Besides having the opportunity to make a little money on the side, I really feel like Im keeping families together. I'm teaching couples things they may not know, introducing them to toys/lingerie/bath&body items that can really "spice" things up and bring the excitement back into the relationship. I'm also helping couples bring some fun into the bedroom when ttc. I know how stressful sex can be when ttc..... timing it right, peeing on sticks all day/every day, etc etc. And I think that having something else to focus on (i.e. a new toy or massage oil) can really "re-vamp" things and make them more enjoyable!!

if they mention they saw my website posted on your blog, here are the specials I'm offering:
Buy one item, get the second 20% off Spend $50 and get one item 50% off

Anyone is able to order from the website. And for anyone who is interested, I can also sign them up as a consultant. However, If someone wants to book a party, I'm in the Los Angeles area so it would have to be within 2 hours or so of here. I dont think I have the budget to do parties in New York!! ;)

Anyway, In order to get these deals, they need to email me first and let me know they saw my website posted on your blog. If they try to just order themselves, the system wont automatically give them the deals, so I'll need to input their orders manually.

email is kristen@brownbaggirly.com
website is www.brownbaggirly.com

For those of you interested, and in need of someone else, we know have Kristen and also Krstyal. Links on the lower right hand side of this blog:)
