Baking Soda & Vinegar

I'm trying to go green-especially where chemicals are involved. It's amazing how many chemicals I touch & inhale in a normal day!

-hairspray
-haircolor
-cleaning products
-deep cleaning products
(we all know that is a seperate category!)
- laundry bleach

So I've been trying some other options bc-I'll still use my chemicals if they're the only thing that works

I recently discovered baking soda & vinegar! I know it's old but it's new to me:) and me oh my does it work! The shower in our bathroom had some gross old grout that I would NOT touch. But now it's almost white!! After only one good application!

I simply coated the grout with baking soda, sprayed vinegar on it (regular white vinegar) that I put in a travel spray bottle, then let it sit for a long time! 45min to an hour is best:).

So I went on doing other things and came back to scrub with a scrubby brush. It was pretty easy! And it was clean! I was amazed!



                                Before-ugh!

Scrub Scrub Scrub!


Ta-Da!! 
If you are noticing that other disgusting dark corner- I fixed that next!
I merely took more applications, a razor, and more baking soda...

Love it! And thanks for reading, Let me know if you try it and how it works for you!!

Wire Baskets

So I have this current obsession with Farmhouse looks.  It's kind of like cottage, but more rugged I guess.  Whatever it is I love wire baskets right now! Square, round, short, tall, whatever!


I usually find good, cheap ones at TJ Maxx.  Currently one serves as a dog toy holder under one of our end tables.  Super cute, and Molly can't eat it!  She's a really good dog and only messes with her toys and nothing else, but in her mind the basket that holds the toys, is also a toy!  Fair logic I suppose:)

Rodan+Fields

This is my new business!  Of course I am still a hairstylist!! This is just a side business.
If you know me at all then you know that I am not pushy and I am not someone who sells things.  (I've never done arbonne, mary kay, jewelry or whatever else)  So I hope this says something about these products! They work!  



I've been using Unblemish by R+F for 1 year now and I love it! My skin looks and feels great!  I used to use Proactiv Solutions and loved it too, but Rodan & Fields are the makers of Proactiv! Apparently they sold Proactiv to 'Gunthy Renker' about 10 years ago and began working on this.  They call this the 'Adult Skincare line' and it focuses on more than acne! It removes fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots and more!

                                   
                   This is the Reverse Line:

And this is the Anti-Age Line:


Anyway, this is my new business! To check it out go to KimMetcalf.com
