Hi! Happy almost weekend! Today I wanted to share five things I’ve been loving lately. Some are new, some are not, but all are pretty great!
My friend Megan told me about this brand and I’m so hooked on it now. Biokleen is a natural cleaning product line. Plus it is a local to Vancouver (made about 10 minutes from my house!) and I love supporting local businesses when I can. The Bac-Out stain and odor remover works so well! Our dog Joe is always getting the couch dirty and Zoe stains her clothes constantly so I’ve been using Bac-Out like a mad lady. It smells amazing and works way better than anything else I’ve tried for stains. If you’re local and like Biokleen, Chuck’s Produce sometimes puts their products on sale. I first bought them when there was a 30% off sale going on and can’t wait for another sale to stock up. I’m loving all their products I’ve tried so far.
Granola
My sister in law made us a batch of this maple nut butter granola for Christmas and I had to get the recipe from her. We have all been loving it in our house. Jacob eats it pretty much every morning for breakfast with yogurt, which says a lot since he’s not a breakfast eater. It makes a ton and is just so delicious plus it is not high in sugar.
Shampoo
I’ve been slowly trying to switch/incorporate more and more natural products into our house. I picked this shampoo up on a whim and have been loving it. The tea tree oil makes me feel like I’m showering in a spa.
Body pump
Have you tried the latest release yet? Body Pump 92 is a killer! The combinations put together during the workout really challenged my muscles and left me with a new level or soreness. And if you haven’t tried the alternate back track, it has to be one of my new all time favorite back tracks. If you aren’t an instructor, tell yours to do it. 🙂
Homemade yogurt
This isn’t new, but still a long time favorite. I love making my own yogurt in the crockpot. Here are the original instructions and here are the instructions for turning it into thick greek yogurt. I use the strained whey for pancakes so there is no waste!
And in case you needed a smile this Friday, here you go.
What are some of your favorites lately?
Heather
i love nature’s gate stuff! and, seriously, i don’t know how you find the time to make so many things.. from food to clothes, you are awesome!
Lol you are so sweet! It helps that I don’t have to work full time. I couldn’t imagine working 40 hours a week then coming home and trying to be a mom + everything else in life.
Love these kind of posts! I’m in the process of switching to all natural/organic cleaning and skin/hair care products, so I love these suggestions! Body Pump 92 is KILLER!
Awesome Erica! Do you have a favorite shampoo/conditioner you’ve switched to? I liked the one I tried but I want to try out more and pricing on them too.
I love making my own yogurt too! I have a ton of frozen leftover whey because I’m never sure how to use it. Do you just replace the liquid component of your pancake recipe with the whey? Thanks!
