Holiday Drains Turned into Gains

Have holidays been on your mind?  Chances are the holidays are not quite on your radar unless perhaps you have recently gone to a crafting store. Crafting stores always are a season ahead.

When you do think about the holidays, are those thoughts cherry and positive or do they tend to drain you?

Turning Drainers Into Gainers

We can have points in our lives that give us energy, but if the drainers are significant enough, they will quickly siphon our energy tanks.
 Keep reading for practical steps and encouragement to turn your energy drainers into energy gainers!  Good for you and good for your conscientious green business!

Clutter-Free for Life!

It is said that people are "creatures of habit."  Sometimes our habits can even run generationally.  Do you have a habit of struggling with clutter?  Did you come from a home that often seemed to be cluttered?  Though we are creatures of habit, we can change our habits to form more productive routines of green, clutter-free living.

Getting out of the clutter- habit is a matter of the mind.  To be successful in creating a habit of clutter-free living consider the following preparation questions...

 

 

 

Green Planning for Memorial Day-Weekend

Only five days until the "unofficial" start of summer vacation begins! 

Great summer trips begin with great, green planning!

Roll out the RV…. Air out the Tent!

 

Get them both green-clean ready for the start of summer vacationing!

 

Living in close quarters when traveling should be reason enough to green clean with 100% all-natural Brightly Green Cleaners. 

If cleaning your home with chemical cleaners may pose potential health risks to your family's respiratory and nervous systems, how much greater the risk would be to use those cleaners in your RV or tent! 

Safely and effectively clean your RV and or tent with Brightly Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner.  Get your RV or tent summer-ready with Brightly Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner and be sure to pack an extra bottle for quick, green clean-up while on the road!

Are you packing sleeping bags for the trip?  Extend the life of your sleeping bags by laundering them with Brightly Green All Natural Laundry Wash.   Regular laundry detergents are known to wear down the fibers in fabrics causing them to not hold up as long as they could.  Brightly Green All Natural Laundry Wash is gentle on fabric fibers yet powerful enough to give the clean you need!

So get green-clean ready and have a wonderful start to your summer!

Earth Day/Week 2014

 

What:  EARTH DAY 

When:  Tuesday, April 22, 2014

Why:  As a global day of awareness in

           support of protecting the environment. 

 

How to get involved:

Make an action plan.  There are countless actions you can take to make a difference.  As with so many things; begin with small steps. 

Make it a family event. Clean up your local park.  Enlist other families to join you, then have a picnic afterwards!

Make your efforts sustainable: Plant a fruit tree in your yard.  Trees filter the air and fruit trees will give you very local produce for years to come!   Plant shade trees and watch your energy bill decrease.  You will reduce the cost of running your air conditioning when you plant shade trees near your home.

Make it a kick-off day to creating new habits on living non-toxic.  Brightly Green's 100% all natural cleaners protect you and your environment from toxins.  Cleaning green is a significant way to protect your personal health and the environment closest to you!

Many communities and nations celebrate Earth Day all week long.  You may want to do the same by choosing one environment awareness project per day next week or plan a few days to make a difference. 

Have fun and Live Brightly Green Clean -- GO GREEN!

Eco-friendly Preparations for Passover and Easter

April is a month filled with festive holidays celebrating New Beginnings!  It is also a month in which new beginnings are occurring within nature.  Migratory birds are returning to their spring and summer homes.  Trees are beginning to bud, spring flowers are popping up—nature is coming to life again!  I enjoy seeing new signs of life outdoors every day—don't you?

As you prepare for this months' holidays whether Passover or Easter, pace yourself in your preparations to more fully appreciate their significance. 

We like to give our homes more of a deep cleaning around special holidays—these holidays are no exception.  Get the kids involved in the cleanup.  Assign them tasks such as dusting furniture with Brightly Green Wood Floor Cleaner or wiping down kitchen counters and the refrigerator door with Brightly Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner.  Older children can handle cleaning the bathroom (though they probably won't want to) with Brightly Green Bathroom Cleaner.  For more supplies visit Brightly Green Home Store.

When setting the table for your holiday guests do something new and make homemade decorations with your children.  Maybe even have name cards at each place setting. Use rubber stamps in spring prints for the name cards.

Incorporate nature into your home and for your table decorations as much as possible.  Real egg shells make for a unique "vase" to hold fresh cut spring flowers!  Freshen up your home with one or more of HG Labs Harmony Air Fresheners made with 100% all natural ingredients!  Our air fresheners-naturally scented with the smell of fresh fruit and tropical flowers only adding to the burst of awakening nature this spring!

May your celebrations be meaningful!

Green Spring Clean Sanity

Are you anxious to get outdoors and enjoy the warm grass under your feet or nice long walks along the beach?   Are you anxious to get your hands dirty in the garden?  If you answered "yes" to any of those questions then get your spring cleaning done before the weather is prime!

Tackle the big spring clean, without using chemical cleaners.  Using Brightly Green's 100% plant-based cleaners safely and effectively cleans any surface in your home.  No worries about the potential effects of chemical cleaners when you green clean with Brightly Green!

Now let's get started…

Spring cleaning doesn't have to be an "all or nothing" project.  Pace yourself so that you don't become stressed out, causing a rippling effect on your family. 

Consider the following tips for spring clean sanity…

Plan your spring clean:

You know your time constraints: Consider how much time per week you can give toward spring cleaning and then make your schedule.  Maybe you are the kind of person who wants to get it all done in a weekend—knock yourself out!  However you choose to tackle this year's spring clean, start with a plan and follow through.

Take an inventory of your Brightly Green products: Make a list of what you may be getting low on.  Remember when placing your order that we are offering FREE SHIPPING on Home Store Orders $40.00 or more. 

Purchasing Brightly Green Concentrate Cleaners is the economical way to green clean.  You save on $$ because you add the water not us, plus purchasing concentrates reduces waste (less packaging).

Celebrate a job well done:  Purchase a flowering spring plant you can bring indoors to liven your kitchen, dining room, or living area.  When it is warm enough, plant it outdoors for added enjoyment!

Create Margin --Through Prioritization

Last month we began a series: Creating Margin.  I encourage you to read the first installment, "Create Margin through Busting Time-Wasters." 

I hear quite often from friends and acquaintances alike how they do not have enough time.  So many conversations begin with:  "I don’t have time to__________",  If only I had the time to ________", "If only there were more hours in a day I would__________."  You may have started a sentence with one or more of those phrases; I know I have.

So what do we do about "time?" 
We cannot collect more of it-- it' is a fixed reality.

A Brightly Green Year in Review

The final week of the year draws many of us toward reflection.

Our Brightly Green blogs have explored topics from de-cluttering/organizing, green holiday planning, using stress to your advantage and living wholesomely green.

In the coming year we look forward to fine tuning ways we can organize both home and office as well as creating margin in our lives through living simply green. 

We look forward to sharing with you more green clean tips and helps for living "green" in 2014!

 

To all our customers—thank you for your business and may you be blessed in the new year!

Wholesome Green Living: Optimizing Stress

 

Does the word “stress” make you cringe inside?  Stress is not portrayed as something we want to have.  Countless medical research shows how stress has a negative & harmful effect on our bodies. 

However…not ALL stress is bad!!  According to psychologist, Dr. Douglas Kleiber; “To be happy you need a little stress.”
