GOT TOXIC LAUNDRY AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT?!
It shocked me that our laundry rooms are often one of the most toxic places in our homes.
After breast cancer, I began changing out my personal care and beauty but didn't even think about my cleaning supplies.
For laundry, I found a few brands that are really clean and free of harmful ingredients, but still searched for that fresh scent without the toxic junk. Found it finally! Here is the link to it (and you can message me to check to see if there are any great offers happening with current savings!

Bounce for 10 min Vs Run for 30 min!!
Rebounder Workouts = Cardio without Impact = Longevity
I loooove my rebounder mini-trampoline workouts. Why? Efficient cardio without high-impact hurting my joints + the bonus of improving lymphatic flow.
It's a great 1-2 punch to get a high energy, low-impact sweat on with the added benefit of using the trampoline as a step, bench and other uses to allow for building muscle (especially when you add-on the strength training kit for a true muscle-building workout!).
Did you know, according to NASA, that about 10 minutes of rebounding gives us practically the same (if not more) metabolic benefits as 10,000 steps?!
So much great science behind it for our longevity, our minds and our lymphatic system.
